First Time Lord (Colony in Space)

Revision as of 17:30, 7 January 2023 by Scrooge MacDuck (talk | contribs) (I don't think depicting "First Time Lord" and "President" as contradictory accounts makes sense. They can just be two different titles for the same position (the full list of titles of a President goes on a bit, after all: "Keeper of the Legacy of Rassilon" etc. What's one more?), and I still think that's what "Brain of Morbius"'s line about "the First Rank" is implying.)

A Time Lord , by one account clarified to be the First Time Lord, (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Doomsday Weapon) was on a figure of authority during the Third Doctor's exile on Earth. He often received important reports. (TV: Colony in Space) By one account, as First Time Lord, he was the ruler of the Time Lords, alongside the two other members of the High Tribunal. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Doomsday Weapon)

By another account, the Time Lord in charge of the Uxarieus mission was an incarnation of Deliavatsud. (PROSE: A Sourcebook for Field Agents)

Biography

Origins

As the First Time Lord, this Time Lord was a regeneration of the First Time Lord who presided over the Doctor's trial. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Doomsday Weapon)

Uxarieus mission

When a report on the Doomsday Weapon went missing from the Time Lords' files, he and the other Time Lords were convinced that the Master had taken it. Alongside the Second Time Lord and Third Time Lord, he decided to send the Third Doctor to the planet Uxarieus in the year 2472 to investigate. (TV: Colony in Space)

One account indicates that these Time Lords were not those who sent the Third Doctor on his later missions. While meeting with the Three, Adelphi noted that their "esteemed... associates" who sent the Doctor to Exarius were severely punished for breaking the non-interference policy. (PROSE: Legacy)

Fate

Although no account directly connects this First Time Lord with him, the President who sent the Third Doctor on his final mission remembered being the previous First Time Lord, opening the possibility that this First Time Lord may have regenerated into this President. (PROSE: The Three Doctors)
