'''Melmoth''', '''the Map of Scars''' was the third incarnation of a [[Gallifreyan (Interference)|Gallifreyan]].
In the wilderness, I.M. Foreman found twelve individuals, all of whom had no memory of who they were. Together they formed [[I.M. Foreman's Travelling Show|I.M. Foreman's One-Species Nongenetically Engineered Travelling Show]], a show which was actually a complex space time event that could travel in [[Time]]. As a priest, he had been given the gift of [[regeneration]], but in those days it was much less stable than modern regeneration, meaning he tended to absorb the [[DNA]] of whatever he encountered.
 
He eventually arrived on [[Dust]], where his true nature was revealed to the [[Third Doctor]] and [[Sarah Jane Smith]]. I.M. Foreman's travelling show was made up of thirteen acts, which were all aspects/bodies of I.M. Foreman, one for each regeneration. When [[the Remote]] attacked the planet, they let out Number 13, the most unstable of all his regenerations, which tried to eat everything and absorb it into its own structure. Eventually it blended with the planet Dust to turn it into a new, vital world, Foreman's consciousness forming a bond with a woman called [[Magdalena]] to allow him/her/it to experience the world as its residents would.
 
The other regeneration aspects were sent back through time, their travelling show exploding as it ended up back in the Dark Times just before the first I.M. Foreman found the show, triggering a regeneration for all twelve aspects. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Interference - Book Two]]'')
 
I.M.
