==== As a high-ranking C.I.A. agent ==== | |||
By one of these accounts, Goth was a member of the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]]. While on Gallifrey, the [[First Doctor]] witnessed Goth give a C.I.A. sentencing; he was already in the incarnation the Doctor would encounter subsequently, which was his thirteenth. Later, on behalf of the CIA, Goth masqueraded as the fictional character [[Lemuel Gulliver]] in the [[Land of Fiction]] to monitor the [[Second Doctor]] and get his help in the [[First Omega Crisis]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cite source|Future Imperfect (short story)}}) | |||
==== As one of the Three ==== | |||
[[ | Another account indicated that as recorded in the [[Scrolls of Gallifrey]], Goth was an ordinary [[Prydonian Chapter|Prydonian]] [[Councillor]] in the [[High Council]] of [[Pandad IV]] at the time of the trial. Pandad would partner Goth with fellow [[Councillor]] [[Adelphi]] and the [[High Chancellor|Chancellor]] [[Socra]] to form a Tribunal known as "[[the Three (The Legacy of Gallifrey)|the Three]]". ([[PROSE]]: {{cite source|The Legacy of Gallifrey (short story)}}) Goth continued to meet with the Three in secret at [[the Station|a vast desolate space station which was their base]]. With them, Goth was involved in the decision of sending the [[Third Doctor]] to [[Peladon]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cite source|Legacy (novel)}}) | ||
Inside [[the Matrix]], | |||
According to the Scrolls, at the time of the trial, the position of Chancellor actually belonged to the Third Time Lord, [[Socra]]. According to that account, Goth was named Chancellor some time after the [[Third Doctor]] defeated [[Omega]] as a consequence of [[the Rani's mice|the Rani's giant mice]] having eaten preceding Chancellor [[Socra]], on top of inducing the President's [[regeneration]] and also eating [[Pandad IV's cat|his cat]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cite source|The Legacy of Gallifrey (short story)}}) | |||
==== As High Chancellor ==== | |||
In contrast to the aforementioned account which suggested that Goth was not yet [[High Chancellor]] when he took part in the trial, ([[PROSE]]: {{cite source|The Legacy of Gallifrey (short story)}}) one account, without naming him, claimed that the leader of the Doctor's trial was "the High Chancellor" by then. ([[PROSE]]: {{cite source|Save Yourself (short story)}}) | |||
==== As a Tribune ==== | |||
Some accounts suggested that Goth was involved in the Time Lords' deliberations on what to do with the [[War Lord]]'s captured, mentally-programmed soldiers in the aftermath of the trial, holding the rank of [[Tribune]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cite source|War Crimes (short story)}}) a "lowly" position. An account which acknowledged this event suggested that the resemblance of the "Tribune from [[House Duskeriall]]" to his [[First Time Lord (The War Games)|superior]] was a manifestation of the Tribune's lifelong desire for the job and the power the came with it; it caused much of an embarrassment to him but he [[Regeneration cycle|could no longer change it]] by this point. ([[PROSE]]: {{cite source|The Cactus and the Corpse (short story)}}) | |||
Tribune Gothaparduskerialldrapolatkh argued that some of the time-displaced specimens should simply be destroyed rather than returned to their own time; however, he was overruled. This decision wound up causing the death of [[Coloth]] when he was gruesomely murdered by [[Ossu]], one of the returned soldiers, whose head was still full of mental programming urging him to kill. ([[PROSE]]: {{cite source|War Crimes (short story)}}) This was a deviation from established [[history]]; when it became known, the Tribune's dissent began to look prescient, even though it had actually only been a manifestation of his "natural bloodlust" and he had not anticipated the alteration to history at all. Because he now seemed uncommonly intelligent, he quickly rose through the ranks in subsequent years, leading directly to his eventual promotion to [[Altissimus Cancellarius]].

([[PROSE]]: {{cite source|Legacy of the Daleks (novel)}}) By another account, the Chancellor picked up a [[signal]] sent to Gallifrey by a [[Reborn Master|future incarnation of the Master]] who had deliberately attacked his younger self to an extent that the [[Cult of the Heretic]] would believe him dead. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cite source|The Two Masters (audio story)}}) In any case, Goth, having been told by the [[Pandad IV|Lord President]] that he did not intend to name him as his successor, the Chancellor instead entered into an uneasy alliance with the Master, who promised him the presidency in exchange for helping to kill the [[Fourth Doctor]]. ([[TV]]: {{cite source|The Deadly Assassin (TV story)}}) | |||
After learning the Master's plan, Goth begged him to alter it so as to make another Time Lord than the Doctor the scapegoat of the assassination, as he believed that the Doctor would find some way to derail the scheme even though it seemed foolproof in every other respect. However, the Master would not listen and the plan moved forward with the Doctor involved.

Involvement in the Second Doctor's trial[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Main article: First Time Lord (The War Games)
By a number of sources, Goth was the same individual as the similar-looking Time Lord who presided over the court which put the Second Doctor on trial following the War Games affair, (PROSE: Future Imperfect [+]Loading...["Future Imperfect (short story)"], The Legacy of Gallifrey [+]Loading...["The Legacy of Gallifrey (short story)"]) although other accounts suggested the leader of the Court had instead been the President of the High Council.

By one of these accounts, Goth was a member of the Celestial Intervention Agency.

Another account indicated that as recorded in the Scrolls of Gallifrey, Goth was an ordinary Prydonian Councillor in the High Council of Pandad IV at the time of the trial. Pandad would partner Goth with fellow Councillor Adelphi and the Chancellor Socra to form a Tribunal known as "the Three".
