This page lists appearances of the General, born according to some accounts as "Kenossium", in the order in which they experienced them. This timeline is based upon observations of the Doctor Who universe and the events that occur during each of these stories.

The End of Time War and Beyond
- The General leads the War Council on the last day of the Time War. He is contacted by three incarnations of the Doctor, who tells them of their plan to save Gallifrey.

- The voice of the General is heard calling out the Time Lords' message to the Doctor.

Footnotes
- ↑ The background TARDIS hum at the beginning of the Once and Future story, Past Lives, resembles that of the Eighth Doctor's, not the War Doctor's.
