Sibling (rank)

The rank of Sibling existed within splinters of Faction Paradox in its later stages, signifying a member who had been in the Faction long enough to no longer be a Little Sibling, but had not formally been initiated to the rank of Cousin.

History

The Family of the Shadow Spire, being the splinter group of the Faction which had coalesced out of those who had taken refuge in the Shadow Spire after the destruction of the Eleven-Day Empire, included "a couple older Siblings", including Brother Gustav and Brother Intrepid.

Sibling Same and Sibling Different were speculated by the Thirteenth Doctor to have originally been members of the Faction who had survived through the Last Great Time War, although none of them could be sure of this, as their past was time locked out of reach. At any rate, she advised them to seek out other potential survivors of the Faction. (PROSE: The Paradox Moon)
