God of War
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
The God of War was a god worshipped by many during all kinds of combat and battle.
In the Pit, the Tenth Doctor remarked that the Kaled God of War was depicted as a "horned beast". He attributed this description to the image of the Beast being beamed into the subconscious of every sentient mind, even the Kaleds. (TV: The Satan Pit)
Ferran, the Prefect of the Klade, was supposed to kill Miranda Dawkins with a ceremonial knife sanctified by the Gods of War and Legacy, but he instead handed the knife to Miranda, claiming that he loved her. (PROSE: Father Time)
Behind the scenes
- The Klades' Gods of War and Legacy were named in allusion to the titles of the two BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures novels featuring Daleks: War of the Daleks and Legacy of the Daleks. This alluded to the Klades' implied origin as the Daleks' humanoid descendants.
- The Satan Pit turned this into an in-universe as well as a metafictional indicator by mentioning that the Kaleds (one possible identity for the Daleks' humanoid ancestors) worshipped a "God of War".
