According to a "secret history" unearthed by the [[Spy Master]] from the depths of [[the Matrix]], the '''Shobogans''' were the original indigenous people of [[Gallifrey]], who, after splicing the [[Timeless Child]]'s [[regeneration]]-enabling [[DNA]] into their [[biodata]] and discovering [[time travel]], became the [[Time Lord]]s. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Timeless Children (TV story)|The Timeless Children]]'')


The term of "[[Shobogan]]", sometimes corrupted to "Shabooj'm", became used for people on the fringe of the Time Lord civilisation, with most Time Lords no longer applying it to themselves. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Deadly Assassin (TV story)|The Deadly Assassin]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[All-Consuming Fire (novel)|All-Consuming Fire]]'', ''[[The Eight Doctors (novel)|The Eight Doctors]]'', etc.)
== Biology ==
The Shobogans appeared externally identical to [[human]]s. As the [[Spy Master]] claimed to the [[Thirteenth Doctor]], they gained the ability of [[regeneration]] from the [[Timeless Child]], a member of an [[Timeless Child's species|unidentified species]]. As a result, they became known as [[Time Lord]]s. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Timeless Children (TV story)|The Timeless Children]]'')
== History ==
The [[First Tecteun]] was one of the first inhabitants of [[Gallifrey]] to explore other [[planet]]s. Via [[the Boundary]], she discovered the [[Timeless Child]] on one such planet, and adopted her as her own. She later brought the child back with her to Gallifrey.
When Tecteun discovered the child's ability to [[regenerate]], she experimented on several of their [[incarnation]]s to discover the secret to this ability to the point where it became an obsession of hers to find out the mysteries of regeneration. Eventually she injected herself with the genes which had been spliced from the child. Upon doing so she immediately regenerated into a male incarnation. Tecteun later gave his people living in the [[Capitol]] this gene so that they would be able to regenerate and limited the regeneration cycle to twelve regenerations. This was to become the foundation of an elite society; they came to be known as [[Time Lord]]s. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Timeless Children (TV story)|The Timeless Children]]'')
Notably, in other accounts, the Time Lords' ancestors were simply known as the [[Gallifreyan]]s, and they had already long developed space travel when they discovered [[regeneration]] in very different circumstances. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Legacy of Gallifrey (short story)|The Legacy of Gallifrey]]'')
