Time Lord?[[edit source]]
I can't tell if I've missed something painfully obvious, but how exactly do we know En Sentac is a Time Lord? I can't remember any line of dialogue saying such, and we don't even know for a fact the Division was totally comprised of Time Lords given Karvanista clearly has some connections. Would like some clarification on this please. StevieGLiverpool ☎ 23:16, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
- Not only is she "in charge" of the Division mission, she is noted to be several millennia old, and after draining her life force, Swarm uses it to regenerate. I appreciate the scruple (note that I kept to such uncertainty at K-Toscs), but I don't think it applies to En Sentac — if it quacks like a Shobogan… Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 23:20, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
