At some point during 1592, jaded dramatist Robert Greene fell victim to a plague and began dying from it. Before he passed, two Shadeys tempted him to murder William Shakespeare out of jealousy by letting him use their powers, but he was convinced to expel them by the Ninth Doctor and Rose Tyler. Greene then passed on, knowing he would be remembered by the two time travellers. (COMIC: A Groatsworth of Wit)
