Due to fears that [[Eleventh Doctor|the Doctor]] would speak his true name and release the [[Time Lord]]s from their [[pocket universe]] at [[Trenzalore]], the [[Kovarian Chapter]] of the [[The Church]] went rogue in an attempt to prevent the Doctor from ever reaching Trenzalore. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]'') The Chapter, or [[the Silence]] as it generally became known, attempted to blow up [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] to kill him ([[TV]]: ''[[The Pandorica Opens (TV story)|The Pandorica Opens]]'', ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'', ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]'') and to "engineer the perfect psychopath" in [[River Song]] to assassinate the Doctor. ([[TV]]: ''[[Day of the Moon (TV story)|Day of the Moon]]'', ''[[Closing Time (TV story)|Closing Time]]'', ''[[The Wedding of River Song (TV story)|The Wedding of River Song]]'', ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]'') However, these efforts all failed and [[paradox|played a role in the Doctor reaching Trenzalore]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]'') | |||
Having become aware of the Silence's plan to kill him and that it was a [[fixed point in time]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Almost People (TV story)|The Almost People]]'', ''[[Let's Kill Hitler (TV story)|Let's Kill Hitler]]'') the Doctor sought answers for why he had to die before going to [[Lake Silencio]] where history stated that River would kill him. The Doctor learned from [[Dorium Maldovar]] of the Silence's [[prophecy]] of [[The Question]]: "on the fields of Trenzalore at the Fall of the Eleventh when no creature can [[Truth Field|speak falsely]] or fail to answer a question will be asked, a question that must never, ever be answered." This question, which Dorium called "the oldest question in the universe, hidden in plain sight" was "Doctor Who?" Eventually, with the help of River and the ''[[Teselecta]]'', the Doctor faked his death so that all but a few believed him to be gone. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Wedding of River Song (TV story)|The Wedding of River Song]]'') | |||
