Kronos
Kronos (Alternately spellings Cronos, Chronus or Kronus) was the Chronovore who destroyed Atlantis.
Biography
Kronos was the result of a forbidden union, made unlawful by the Ancient Covenant, of a Chronovore, Prometheus, and the Eternal known as Elektra. (PDA: The Quantum Archangel) He described himself as "beyond good and evil".
In the 1970s, the Master used a crystal named after Kronos to cause him to manifest so that (he thought) he might bind Kronos to his will. This failed and the Master went back in time to the last days of Atlantis, Kronos ruined the city. In the aftermath, he stopped both the Doctor's and the Master's TARDIS in the Time Vortex and, appearing as a huge, translucent female face, asked the Third Doctor whether he wanted Kronos to destroy the Master. The Doctor demurred, Kronos let him free and the Master vanished into his TARDIS. (DW: The Time Monster)
