The Division was a shadowy organisation based on Gallifrey which employed the Doctor as one of its operatives. It was built to intervene when necessary, whereas the official policy of the Time Lords was one of "strict non-interference".

An early incarnation of the Doctor, during their period as the Timeless Child, was contacted, tested and recruited into the Division by Solpado. (TV: The Timeless Children) At some point, the Fugitive Doctor ran away, no longer willing to be a part of their plans. (TV: Fugitive of the Judoon) Eventually, they thanked the Doctor for their service, then wiped their memory. (TV: The Timeless Children)

Officially, the Division did not exist nor had operatives, and its history was mostly redacted from the Matrix. (TV: The Timeless Children) By the Thirteenth Doctor's time, with Gallifrey gone, the only known surviving operative was Karvanista, (TV: The Halloween Apocalypse) who had fought alongside the Fugitive Doctor. (TV: Once, Upon Time)

History

"For Services To The Division" (TV: The Timeless Children)

In the fictional story of Brendan in the Matrix, one of the clues to the truth was that the carriage clock he was given upon his retirement was dedicated for "services to the Division" instead of the Garda. (TV: The Timeless Children)

During her service to the Division, the Fugitive Doctor was sent alongside Karvanista and two other Division agents to capture Swarm and Azure at the Temple of Atropos. This was the Siege of Atropos, instrumental to the ending of the Dark Times, in which the Time Lords' structure for Time was restored, and the Ravagers successfully imprisoned. (TV: Once, Upon Time)

Swarm was imprisoned on the Burnished Rage battleground, with Division agents visiting every thousand years to check he was secure. En Sentac served on many of these tours, over the course of thousands of years. (TV: The Halloween Apocalypse)

The Doctor tried to escape from service to their organisation, so Division agent Gat employed a troop of Judoon to capture her. They traced her to Gloucester in 2020, but the Doctor tricked Gat into shooting herself, and escaped. (TV: Fugitive of the Judoon) Eventually, a Judoon cold case unit transmatted inside the Thirteenth Doctor's TARDIS and imprisoned her inside a maximum security facility for her crimes against the Division, (TV: The Timeless Children) as well as 7000 other crimes, though she ultimately escaped. (TV: Revolution of the Daleks)

After learning the truth of her past with the Division, (TV: The Timeless Children) the Thirteenth Doctor sought out Karvanista for information on the organisation, as he was the only surviving Division agent she could find. (TV: The Halloween Apocalypse)

At this time, En Sentac served her final tour with K-Toscs, checking Swarm was secure in his containment chamber. Swarm found his opportunity to breach the chamber, and killed her, absorbing her energy and regenerating himself into a new incarnation. (TV: The Halloween Apocalypse)
