Time Agency
The Time Agency was an organisation that originated around the 49th century and was shut down some time in the 52nd century. The Agency employed humans called Time Agents. The Agents used wrist straps which enabled them to travel through time for missions of an unspecified nature.
One account stated that, "The Agents’ purpose is to change without interfering, to leave an effect with no evidence of cause. To be untraceable, undetectable, invisible. To all intents and purposes, the Agents do not exist." (EDA: Sometime Never...)
History
A group known as the Time Agents was used by the Council of Eight to manipulate history and remove "Rogue Elements." (EDA: Sometime Never...)
Magnus Greel, a war criminal from the 51st century, lived in fear of Time Agents, initially suspecting the Fourth Doctor of being one until Li H'sen Chang mentioned the Doctor had asked questions. "A Time Agent wouldn't have asked questions!" exclaimed Greel. "A Time Agent would know." (DW: The Talons of Weng-Chiang).
