History

Background

Following the end of the Last Great Time War, the Time Lords eventually unfroze Gallifrey and moved it from the pocket universe it was located in to "the end of the universe, give or take a star system or two." As Lord President, Rassilon worried about the Hybrid that was prophesized to conquer Gallifrey and stand in its ruins. Believing the Doctor knew who the Hybrid was, Rassilon set up a deal with Ashildr to capture the Doctor and trap him in his confession dial. This led to the death of the Doctor's companion Clara Oswald. (TV: Face the Raven) The Doctor spent four and a half billion years trapped in the confession dial, eventually escaping and arriving on Gallifrey. Enraged by Clara's death and determined to save her, the Doctor had a young boy inform "someone in charge" that the Doctor had arrived and knew what they did (TV: Heaven Sent) before making his way to the barn he slept in often in his youth. (TV: Hell Bent)
