Biography
Though originally humanoid, the Ambassador along with the billions of Gelth were turned into gaseous lifeforms in the Last Great Time War. Eventually, they discovered a space-time rift, which opened up into Gabriel Sneed's mortuary in Cardiff, 1869. The Gelth were naturally attracted to the area, since they could inhabit the gas found in the pipes and emerge through gas lamps. They also discovered that they could survive in the gases in a decomposing human and, as the Ninth Doctor put it, "use it as a vehicle". The Gelth Ambassador contacted Gwyneth, Sneed's servant, who had psychic abilities. She thought of the Gelth as angels.
Through Gwyneth, the Ambassador spoke with the Doctor, presenting its kind as peaceful and facing extinction, the Gelth asked for the Doctor's help in allowing Gwyneth to open the time rift further, allowing through more of their kind. The suggestion of doing this and allowing more Gelth through the rift to inhabit the corpses of humans, an idea which horrified the Doctor's companion, Rose. The Doctor, however, accepted the idea as an interim stage before taking the Gelth to a place where he could help them acquire new, specially-created bodies. With the rift opened wider, the Gelth, however, planned to let all the billions of Gelth through and take the planet by force. Gwyneth closed the rift in time, however, and destroyed the Ambassador and the remaining Gelth with fire. (DW: The Unquiet Dead)
