In [[The Doctor's reality (Death Comes to Time)|a version of reality]] where the [[Seventh Doctor]] sacrificed himself to stop [[Tannis]], he was a member of the surviving group of Time Lords who had sworn off usage of their [[Power of Creation|powers]], only to have [[Minister of Chance's TARDIS|his TARDIS]] [[TARDIS revocation|revoked]]] by the Doctor for misusing his abilities.
