The Forth Generation was a faction of Cybermen created from workers who died constructing the bridge over the River Forth, who would accidentally be awoken over a century later by the Ninth Doctor. It was founded by Kreel, a Mondasian Cyberman who had become stranded in the area after his scouting party was split up by a rip in time. The damaged Kreel declared the Fourth Generation was his family and progeny.
