History[[edit] | [edit source]]

After the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Doctors bested the Toymaker in a game of catch atop the London UNIT HQ in late 2023, the Toymaker ominously told them that his legions were coming after the Fourteenth Doctor banished him from existence as his prize. (TV: The Giggle [+]Loading...{"timestamp":"00:48:21","1":"The Giggle (TV story)"})

The Fifteenth Doctor was subsequently aware he would be facing a "whole pantheon of new enemies" in his travels, but confidently believed they had "no idea what they['d] let themselves in for". (PROSE: "Heroes of Time" [+]Part of Whotopia: The Ultimate Guide to the Whoniverse, Loading...{"namedpart":"Heroes of Time","1":"Whotopia: The Ultimate Guide to the Whoniverse (reference book)"})

In December 2023, a group of Goblins who "bimble[d]" through time found a "chance of coincidence" surrounding Ruby Sunday and Lulubelle, and thus began seeding bad luck into Ruby's life. After she and the Fifteenth Doctor saved Lulubelle from being fed to the Goblin King and their escape from the Goblin ship, (TV: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Loading...["The Church on Ruby Road (TV story)"]) the Doctor explained to Ruby that the Goblins' presence was the "legacy" of the Toymaker who had entered the universe with "his legions", being another "force of nature" that was of "a different nature", obeying their own rules in much the same way that (PROSE: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Loading...{"name":"TCoRR","page":"100","chaptnum":"Thirteen","1":"The Church on Ruby Road (novelisation)"}) the Toymaker obeyed the rules of play. (TV: The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (TV story)"]) The Goblins then went back in time and ate Ruby as a baby, creating a cracked timeline. However, the Doctor followed them and restored the timeline by impaling the King with the spire of the church on Ruby Road. After he killed the King, the entire Goblin ship seemed to fade from existence. (TV: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Loading...["The Church on Ruby Road (TV story)"])

The Doctor and Ruby later encountered Maestro, the child of the Toymaker. The Doctor made note that they were part of a larger group he called "the Pantheon." (TV: The Devil's Chord [+]Loading...["The Devil's Chord (TV story)"]) UNIT would find itself opposed by an increasing number of supernatural threats in 2024-2025, while the Doctor and Ruby would stumble across a fairy circle connected to a figure known as Mad Jack.
