The Disciples of the Light were a highly advanced civilisation who, according to the Beast, lived before the universe to which the Doctor was native was created. As such, the Doctor had no knowledge of their existence.
Before the creation of the universe, the Disciples battled with the Beast, and subdued and buried it on a planet later called Krop Tor, intending to leave it chained there for all eternity. Both the planet and K37 Gem 5, the black hole it orbited, served as a prison for the Beast.
