After the [[Fourteenth Doctor]] cast [[salt]] at the [[edge of the universe]], symbolically damaging the [[walls of reality]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)}}) [[the Toymaker]], now in a new body, "found his way into reality". He rampaged through [[the Doctor's universe]], playing games with many other powerful beings, from the [[Guardians of Time and Space]] to [[the Master]]. He plagued the human race with [[the Giggle]] and forced the Doctor into [[Game between the Toymaker and the Fourteenth Doctor|a game]] with him, later forcing his [[regeneration]] into the [[Fifteenth Doctor]], only for this to trigger a [[bi-generation]] which gave the Doctor(s) the edge (t)he(y) needed to [[Game between the Toymaker and the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Doctors|defeat him]]. As he was sealed away, the Toymaker warned them that [[the Toymaker's legions|his legions]] would be coming in his wake. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}}) The Fifteenth Doctor subsequently encountered a group of [[Goblins (The Church on Ruby Road)|Goblins]] whom he speculated were a part of the legions. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Church on Ruby Road (novelisation)}})

Early in his travels with [[Ruby Sunday]], the Doctor encountered the Toymaker's child [[Maestro]] in [[1963]] attempting to steal humanity’s music as part of a grand plan to build their strength to one day claim the [[Music of the Spheres]] itself and halt the entire universe. Though the Doctor’s initial attempt to banish them via a chord failed, his plan was completed by [[the Beatles]] who finished the tune. As they were banished Maestro warned the Doctor that "the One Who Waits" was "almost here". ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Devil's Chord (TV story)}})  

This came to pass in [[UNIT HQ]] when the Doctor discovered that, for some time now, his TARDIS had been "seduced" and overtaken by Sutekh. Heralded by his own [[Harbinger]], [[Harriet Arbinger|Harriet]], who had infiltrated UNIT, Sutekh revealed himself, with Harriet proclaiming him as the King of the group of gods also including the Toymaker, Maestro, and the Trickster, as well as several others and the [[Mara]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Legend of Ruby Sunday (TV story)}}) whom the Doctor had faced in the past without identifying them as members of a shared group. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Kinda (TV story)}}, {{cs|Snakedance (TV story)}}) The Doctor believed Sutekh had evolved, becoming a “titan” compared to how strong he’d been in their first encounter. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Pyramids of Mars (TotT TV story)}}) Sutekh used the [[Angel of Death]] he’d planted across the universe whilst on the TARDIS to spread his [[Dust of Death]] across time and space, killing everything it touched. The Doctor and Ruby managed to hatch a plan to pull him from the TARDIS and used the ship to drag him into the Time Vortex, where his touch killed his own Dust, undoing its effects and restoring all its victims to life. The Doctor then finally separated Sutekh from the TARDIS, causing him to be destroyed by the Vortex. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Empire of Death (TV story)}})
