This and many other visits to Earth gave her an affinity to Earth only surpassed by the Doctor and Keenon, believing humanity to be able to survive everything, including themselves. Befitting her status as a Valeyard, she displayed immense knowledge in Earth history, but found it often disturbing to see the parallels to early Antarian and Gallifreyan history. As Lord High Valeyard, she more than once had had to undo damage to important events in Earth history (and would thus develop a violent hatred of [[The Silence]] in time).<br> | This and many other visits to Earth gave her an affinity to Earth only surpassed by the Doctor and Keenon, believing humanity to be able to survive everything, including themselves.

There were exceptions to this, however. In [[The Year That Never Was]], {{Simm}} made her a public enemy. After the events of the Year That Never Was, Torchwood Three was in possession of a calling crystal for the Professor, and called her in to deal with rogue Time Agent John Hart.<br> During the war in the Medusa Cascade, the [[Subwave network]] picked up her TARDIS signature, publicly calling her for assistance.<ref name="Journey's End" /> Torchwood Director [[Jack Harkness]] eventually would list her as freelance agent/advisor.<br> | ||
The Professor was friends with many important figures of Earth history, among them Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, Robert Oppenheimer, James Watson and Francis Crick (the latter two had a field day with her DNA). | The Professor was friends with many important figures of Earth history, among them Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, Robert Oppenheimer, James Watson and Francis Crick (the latter two had a field day with her DNA). | ||
