War Lord
- For other meanings, see War Lord (disambiguation).
The War Lords were a Near-Human race who attempted at least twice to conquer the galaxy.
Biology
War Lords looked identical to Humans and could easily pass themselves off as Humans. (NA: Timewyrm: Exodus)
Technology
The War Lords used special eyeglasses to induce mind control in the field. In their base, they had technology to re-condition and re-process the minds of Human soldiers and machines to tell visually whether or not the processing had taken. (DW: The War Games)
During their plan to assist Nazi Germany win World War II, the War Lords used their technology to control SS soldiers, to the point where they were able to reanimate their corpses. They set up a transmat booth to transport people from Berlin to Drachensberg, and a nuclear reactor underneath the castle. They also had a telepathic receiver shaped like a crystal ball which was used to contact the Doctor, and a powerful laser weapon disguised as a cane. The War Chief also gave them time scanning technology and SIDRATs. (NA: Timewyrm: Exodus)
History
When the War Chief first gave them time technology, the War Lords abducted members of several different warlike races and experimented on them to determine their suitability as soldiers in their armies; one such individual was Ossu-male, an Ulk-Ra. Eventually, the War Lords decided to use Humans for their army. (ST: War Crimes)
The War Lords' first attempted to build their army by taking Human soldiers from different points in Earth's history and forcing them to fight together; the survivors would be used to conquer the galaxy. This plan was defeated by the Doctor and his allies and by the Time Lords, who executed their leader and placed their home planet in a time loop. (DW: The War Games)
The War Lords had tried to kill the War Chief, who barely survived after a failed regeneration and was taken back to their homeworld, where he was kept as a scientific oddity. He eventually convinced the War Lords that he hadn't betrayed them, and began working on a new plan for galactic conquest. They escaped from their time-looped planet and traveled to Nazi Germany, where they set themselves up as the Black Coven and allied with Adolf Hitler (who possessed the power of the Timewyrm), supplying advanced technology disguised as black magic to assist in winning World War II. This plan was uncovered by the Doctor, who had Hermann Goering and his men attack their base in Drachensberg, killing them. The Doctor then overloaded their nuclear reactor, causing it to explode and destroying their advanced technology. (NA: Timewyrm: Exodus)
