When the Seventh Doctor was brought to him, the Chief thought he was the "Great Architect", namely Kroagnon, who designed Paradise Towers. He ordered his execution and was called away after a report on the death of 345/12, subsection 3 came in. When he returned, he found the Doctor had escaped and blamed the Deputy Chief Caretaker, who was tasked with him re-capture.
