-'''Anti-Time''' was a dimension inhabited by [[Neverpeople]]. Some, if not all, of these people were [[Time Lord]]s who were thought to have been executed for treason by the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]]. The device used for the executions, the [[Oubliette of Eternity]], was supposed to erase the Time Lords from history, but instead transformed them into Neverpeople.
+'''Anti-Time''' was a substance theorized by the [[Time Lords]] that would break down the [[Web of Time]]. The [[Antiverse]] was comprised of it.
-The Neverpeople attempted to destroy [[Gallifrey]] by using a casket of Anti-Time. However, the [[Eighth Doctor]] saved Gallifrey by materialising his [[TARDIS]] around the Time Station, thus containing the force of the anti-time explosion. ([[BFA]]: ''[[Neverland]]'')
+== Description ==
+Just as matter is opposed by antimatter, and every action has its opposite reaction, the [[Web of Time]] -- positive time -- must have its negative counterpart.
-Unfortunately, anti-time began to seep into the normal universe as historical [[anachronism]]s caused the [[Web of Time]] to break down. Both the Doctor and his [[TARDIS]] were "infected" by anti-time and/or its inhabitants. ([[BFA]]: ''[[Zagreus (audio story)|Zagreus]]'')
+The [[Eighth Doctor]] described it thus:
+:''"Anti-Time: as intractable and destructive a force to causality as [[antimatter]] is to [[space]]. Something with no past, no present, no future. A perpetuity of meaningless chaos. A Now, with no beginning or end. Elegant, brilliant, thoroughly logical... and utter gibberish."'' ([[BFA]]: ''[[Neverland]]'')
+Time Lord theories suggested that Anti-Time was created when [[Rassilon]] created the [[Eye of Harmony]], binding the universe to a single continuity.
+== History ==
+The theory of Anti-Time's existence was discredited until a series of [[anachronism]]s started wreaking havoc on the Web of Time. The Time Lords traced the source to the [[Eighth Doctor]]'s companion [[Charlotte Pollard|Charley Pollard.]] Using her as a conduit, [[Lord President|Lady President]] [[Romana]] and [[Celestial Intervention Agency|CIA]] Coordinator [[Vansell]] piloted a [[Time Station]] through her to the [[Antiverse]] -- a universe made of Anti-Time inhabited by [[Neverperson|Neverpeople]].
+The Neverpeople attempted to destroy [[Gallifrey]] using a bomb filled with Anti-Time. However, the [[Eighth Doctor]] saved Gallifrey by materialising his [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] around the Time Station, thus containing the Anti-Time explosion. The Doctor and his TARDIS absorbed the Anti-Time energy released. Both were "infected" by it, and took on the persona of [[Zagreus]]. ([[BFA]]: ''[[Neverland]]'')
+Zagreus was courted by [[Rassilon]] to become his assassin. With the help of Charley and the TARDIS' "good side", the Doctor managed to reassert his personality long enough to refuse the offer and cleanse the infection from the TARDIS. The Doctor, however, was forced to travel into a [[Divergent Universe]] to keep the Anti-Time and the Zagreus personality under control. ([[BFA]]: ''[[Zagreus (audio story)|Zagreus]]'')
+The Anti-Time was eventually purged from the Doctor's system when he returned to the normal universe. ([[BFA]]: ''[[The Next Life]]'') {{source}}
