Akhaten was a parasitic, sentient star that fed on the souls, and therefore the stories, of the inhabitants of the seven planets surrounding him, known as the Sung Sings of Akhet. He was considered by the people of Akhet to be a great and fearful god.

Biography

He slumbered for thousands of years, until the Long Song ended. Then, he awoke and threatened to consume all the system's seven planets. Eventually, the Eleventh Doctor let him take his memories instead of the valuable things of the natives of Akhet. The Doctor was then saved by Clara Oswald, who gave the Old God the leaf that told all of her family's story, all that happened, all that didn't happen and all that should have happen. The overload of stories caused him to implode. (TV: The Rings of Akhaten)
