A "broken generation" of members of the Great Houses, considered the original Renegades by later history, was created on the Homeworld by impurities in the breeding-engines over a thousand years before the War in Heaven.

Manifesting around 1152 years before the War in Heaven, (PROSE: "The Timeline" ^[+]Part of The Book of the War, Loading...{"namedpart":"The Timeline","1":"The Book of the War (novel)"}) the mutations particularly affected House Lungbarrow and House Dvora. Their causes remained "vague" but could be attributed to "impurities in the looming system", (PROSE: Crimes Against History ^[+]Loading...["Crimes Against History (short story)"]) namely the errant biodata of the Other. Glospin of House Lungbarrow believed that the Other's contagion had driven his entire Family "mad", and that the Doctor himself was the full reincarnation of the Other.

The Master, the Rani, the Monk and Drax, all of whom became Renegades in their later lives, were the same age as the Doctor and attended the Academy with them.
