| == Biography ==
| | In the 1st century BC, he tried to incite [[Roman]] [[slave]]s to rebellion during [[Saturnalia]]. Rhea, in the form of a little girl, used the [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Ace]] to help her defeat him again. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Best of Days (short story)|The Best of Days]]'') |
| Kronos was the offspring of a forbidden union, made unlawful by the [[Ancient Covenant]], of a Chronovore, [[Prometheus (The Quantum Archangel)|Prometheus]], and the [[Eternal]] known as [[Elektra]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Quantum Archangel (novel)|The Quantum Archangel]]'') He described himself as "beyond good and evil".
| |
| | |
| At the moment of his conception, Kronos was trapped in a [[Crystal of Kronos|crystal]], and was cast down to the [[Ephemeral]] universe. Eventually, the crystal landed on the planet of the [[Constructors of Destiny]], where he influenced their culture and became a godlike figure to them. Kronos continued to have this effect on other planets and culture he encountered, including the [[Dæmon]]s. The Dæmons then sent the crystal to [[Atlantis]] on [[Earth]], so it could destroy it, because the Dæmons deemed it a failed experiment. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Quantum Archangel (novel)|The Quantum Archangel]]'')

| In the [[1970s]], {{Delgado}} used [[Crystal of Kronos|a crystal named after Kronos]] on Earth, to cause him to manifest so that he might bind Kronos to his will. This failed and the Master went back in time to the last days of Atlantis. Kronos ruined the city. In the aftermath, he stopped both [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the Doctor]]'s and [[the Master's TARDIS]] in the [[Time Vortex]] and, appearing as a huge, translucent female face, asked the [[Third Doctor]] whether he wanted Kronos to destroy the Master. The Doctor demurred, Kronos let him free, and the Master vanished into his TARDIS. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time Monster (TV story)|The Time Monster]]'')
| |
| | |
| During the [[Quantum Archangel]] crisis, Kronos created the persona of Paul Kairos, a student under [[Ruth Ingram]] and [[Stuart Hyde]], to manifest upon Earth. Kairos, through miraculous talent, had reverse-engineered the Master's [[TOMTIT]] device, and created an enhanced version, the [[TITAN Array]]. He was stripped of the rights to his own invention, the quantum lattice, by [[Anjeliqua Whitefriar]], and was in a relationship with a fellow student, [[Arlene Cole]].
| |
| | |
| As Kairos, Kronos worked with the [[Sixth Doctor]] and helped end the crisis by shedding his human guise and attacking the [[Mad Mind of Bophemeral]] during a violent engagement between the Archangel and the Doctor. Following this, he allowed the Kairos persona to remain active as an independent being, but not before Kronos was forced to sacrifice his life in order to destroy the Mad Mind. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Quantum Archangel (novel)|The Quantum Archangel]]'')

| It inspired the [[Greek]] legends, according to which it was the [[Titan (god)|Titan]] who ate his children, among them, [[Poseidon]], the god of Atlantis. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time Monster (TV story)|The Time Monster]]'')
