Gallifreyans (Dominus temporis) were a near-Human species native to the planet Gallifrey. (NSA: The Last Dodo) The powerful Time Lords originated from this species.
History
- See Gallifreyan history.
Appearance and Biology
Gallifreyans were externally identical in appearance to Humans.
Culture and Society
Gallifreyans and Time Lords
The term Gallifreyan is often used interchangeably with Time Lord, despite indications that not all Gallifreyans are members of that august society. The Gallifreyan species existed for eons before the time of Rassilon and Omega, the founders of Time Lord society.
There have also been at least two non-Gallifreyan Time Lords: Donna Noble, who was originally a human, but became a Human/Time Lord hybrid after a metacrisis (DW: Journey's End), and Jenny, The Doctor's biological "daughter" who was created from his DNA on the planet Messaline and is therefore a Time Lord who did not originate on Gallifrey (DW: The Doctor's Daughter).
- Another, possibly apocryphal account, portrays a Human, Ace growing in her knowledge and understanding of the cosmic order and attaining the position of Time Lord. (WC: Death Comes to Time)
It was known that a quarter of Gallifreyans on their homeworld worship the higher Eternals such as Death and Time. (NA: Happy Endings)
Within the Capitol
Even within the Time Lord sanctum of the Capitol, "plebeian classes" exist. (DW: The Deadly Assassin)
- This reference may well indicate the presence of ordinary Gallifreyans, rather than just Time Lords, in the Capitol. In fact, it remains unclear whether particular groups, like the Chancellory Guard belong to the Time Lord or one of the common Gallifreyan classes.
Outsiders and Outcasts
Living in the wild lands outside the Capitol, bands of Gallifreyans called Outsiders lived a primitive lifestyle, wearing fur skins and using weapons like bows, arrows and spears for hunting in order to eat. (DW: The Invasion of Time)
Within the Capitol, rebels known as Shobogans committed petty acts of vandalism. (DW: The Deadly Assassin)
