The One Who Waits was an individual active in the Doctor's universe, with whom the Doctor was unfamiliar.
Biography
Once the Toymaker managed to escape into the universe, he found the One Who Waits "hiding". Whilst the Toymaker had bested the Guardians of Time and Space, the dying Spy Master and "God", he opted to flee rather than challenge the One Who Waits to a game. He later told the Fourteenth Doctor of his decision to flee from the One Who Waits, with whom the Doctor was not familiar, (TV: The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (TV story)"]) something the Toymaker found "hilarious". The Toymaker thus decided not to spoil the surprise, (PROSE: The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (novelisation)"]) instead cryptically telling the Doctor it was "someone else's game". (TV: The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (TV story)"])
As they were banished out of the universe, the Toymaker's child Maestro snarled a warning to the Fifteenth Doctor that the One Who Waits was "almost here". They had previously mentioned yet another member of the Pantheon to which they and the Toymaker belonged as the Oldest One. (TV: The Devil's Chord [+]Loading...["The Devil's Chord (TV story)"])
