Lord or Lady Cardinal (Cardinal for short) was an office of the High Council of the Time Lords of Gallifrey (TV: The Deadly Assassin, et al). The Cardinals were the highest ranking members of the various Chapterhouses of Gallifrey. The most senior Cardinal was known as the Cardinal Prime. (PROSE: Lungbarrow)

Somewhere between Under Cardinal and Cardinal there appears to have been the rank of Junior Cardinal, a rank held by Borusa at the time of the Morbius crisis. They wore grey robes. (PROSE: Warmonger)

There was also a sub-office to Cardinal known as Under-Cardinal. (AUDIO: Neverland)

During the future war with The Enemy there appeared to have been War Cardinals. They were noted to hold a training facility on Gallifrey XII where they taught the art of escapology. (PROSE: The Quantum Archangel, PROSE: The Taking of Planet 5, PROSE: Alien Bodies)

In an alternate timeline, the Cardinals served under a Supreme Pontiff of Time. (PROSE: Prisoners of the Sun)
