Revision as of 14:34, 2 March 2020 by 81.99.92.237 (talk) (An Irish police officer, at the time of the event of Brendan's life is called a Garda (plural: Gardai; sometimes anglicised as 'guard'))

Tecteun was a Shobogan and one of the first inhabitants of Gallifrey to explore other planets. She discovered the Timeless Child on one such planet, and adopted her as her own. She later brought the child back with her to Gallifrey.

When Tecteun discovered the child's ability to regenerate, she injected herself with the genes which had been spliced from the child and immediately regenerated into a male incarnation. Tecteun later gave his people living in the Capitol this gene so that they would be able to regenerate. This was the foundation of an elite society; they came to be known as Time Lords.

At some point after the Timeless Child's memories were redacted and the child became the Doctor, Tecteun hid the truth in the Matrix disguised in the story of Brendan, an immortal Irish Garda (policeman). The Spy Master suggested that Tecteun hid the truth in this manner as an apology or gift for her child and a way for the Doctor to decode the truth if they so chose. (TV: The Timeless Children)
