In an alternate timeline, a Cyber-Controller ruled an asteroid colony of Cybermen at the end of the universe. Following the arrival of Rassilon, it kept its existence hidden from the Time Lord, allowing him to believe he commanded the Cybermen in their total conquest of time and space. Eventually, it revealed itself to the Twelfth Doctor after the Cybermen attempted to harvest his regenerative energy, and revealed its plans to rebirth N-Space as "the Age of the Cyberiad".

Biography

This Cyber-Controller ruled a remnant force of Cybermen that existed at the end of the universe. When Rassilon, sometime after being exiled from Gallifrey by the Twelfth Doctor, landed his Bowship at the Cybermen's asteroid colony, the Cyber-Controller kept its presence unknown to Rassilon as he consulted the Cyber-Leader over his plan to make the Cybermen the dominant species across all of time and space. After Rassilon was converted into the Cyber-President, he assisted the Cybermen in forging the Gallifreyan Cyber Fleet to invade Gallifrey, with a particular focus on the Capitol. While the Cybermen made use of Time Lord technology to gain complete dominance over the past, the Cyber-Controller allowed Rassilon to believe he was in charge until the final stages of the Cybermen's plan were ready to be enacted.

After Rassilon, the Twelfth Doctor and the General arrived at the chamber of the Eye of Harmony, the Cybermen eventually forced all three Time Lords into looms to harvest their regenerative energy. However, the Cyber-Controller then intervened with a new strategy, explaining to the Doctor that the Cybermen intended to ignite the regenerative energy inside the Eye of Harmony at the exact moment the universe would end, rebirthing N-Space into "the Age of the Cyberiad", a reality which would be dominated by an ultimate evolution of Cybermen from its very beginnings. Noting that Rassilon's regenerative energy readings were too unstable to complete the Cybermen's plan, the Cyber-Controller ordered the Doctor plugged in as a substitute, the two Time Lords eventually being upgraded.

As the universe began to rapidly collapse, the Cyber-Controller ordered the activation of the Eye of Harmony to create the Cybermen's ultimate reality. However, the stored regenerative energy began flowing backwards. It was then that the Doctor and Rassilon revealed that, despite their conversions, they had retained their consciousnesses and had altered the Eye of Harmony's protocols from within the Cyberiad. With regenerative energy flowing throughout the Cyberiad - which now spanned the whole of history - the Cybermen's conquest of time and space was reversed. The Cyber-Controller, who was directly exposed to the Eye of Harmony, overloaded and exploded. (COMIC: Supremacy of the Cybermen)
