"'''Number Thirteen'''" was the thirteenth incarnation of a [[Gallifreyan (Interference)|Gallifreyan]].


'''I.M. Foreman''' was a [[Gallifreyan]] monk who lived on [[Gallifrey]] but was driven from the monasteries following [[Rassilon]]'s [[Intuitive Revolution]]. In the wilderness, he found 12 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 is 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 compared to 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|the Doctor]] and [[Sarah Jane Smith]]. I.M. Foreman's travelling show was made up of thirteen acts, which are 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 tries to eat everything and absorb it into its own structure. Eventually it blended itself with [[Magdalena]] and the planet Dust. The other regeneration aspects are sent back through time, their travelling show exploding as it ends up back in the Dark Times just before the first I.M. Foreman finds then triggering a regeneration for all twelve aspects.
It was a raw force of nature and the essence of everything the previous twelve had consumed. Number Thirteen existed to consume as much life as possible, and was kept contained for centuries until the final "act" on [[Dust (planet)|Dust]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Interference - Book Two (novel)|Interference - Book Two]]'')


From at least the early 1960s to at least the mid-1980s, there was an I.M. Foreman junkyard located at [[76 Totter's Lane]] in London. It was here that [[First Doctor|the Doctor]] parked his [[Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] for several months in 1963 as he worked on securing the [[Hand of Omega]] ([[DW]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks]]''); his grandaughter adopted the name [[Susan Foreman]] from the location ([[DW]]: ''[[An Unearthly Child]]''). The connection between the junkyard and the Time Lord I.M. Foreman, if any connection exists, remains unclear.
