Timeline[[edit source]]

Early collecting[[edit source]]

(REFERENCE)
Braxiatel leaves the Time Lords to seek out "obscure facts" for his "vast and comprehensive database".[quote 1] (PROSE: The Empire of Glass)
Braxiatel is seemingly contemporaneous with the Time Lords from TV: The Three Doctors.[quote 2] He takes a brief diversion from his knowledge collection to start an arms limitation conference known as the Armageddon Convention, hosted in 1609 on his floating island of Laputa, near Venice. The conference is his idea, but is conducted with the blessing of the Time Lords.[quote 3] Having spent 20 years organising it[quote 4], it all quickly falls apart and has to be rescued by the Doctor and his companions. After the conclusion of the convention, Braxiatel stays on Earth to start a collection of artefacts, [quote 5] seemingly the Library of St John the Beheaded;[quote 6] part of his dream to one day start a universal collection.[quote 7]

Quotes[[edit source]]

  1. ↑ Braxiatel believed that perfect knowledge led to peace, and so he had left his people and travelled, seeking out obscure facts to add to his vast and comprehensive database.
  2. ↑ The last thing I want to do is to start changing things now" He shrugged. "Of course, this is all their fault. If they had told me that I was talking to a Doctor from a different time stream and that they were going to wipe his mind of everything that had happened during the Omega crisis then I would have chosen a later incarnation."
  3. ↑ "I couldn't organize all this without help," Braxiatel said, nodding toward the buildings and jungle of Laputa on the viewscreen. "I needed assistance, and my own race wouldn't cooperate. They gave me their blessing, of course, and they helped me find the Doctor - not that they did any more than they had to on that front of course, like telling me that they were going to wipe his memory just after I handed him the invitation. Oh yes, and they declared this area of space and time closed for the duration of the convention, but apart from that, I was on my own."
  4. ↑ It had seemed like such a simple idea, but putting it into practice had taken almost twenty human years.
  5. ↑ Braxiatel nodded. "I'll probably stay on Earth for a while, though: I've been building up a little library of suppressed manuscripts which I'd like to find a decent home for. I think I'll stay out of politics and stick to collecting."
  6. ↑ "You have some manuscripts," Braxiatel replied, "plays that did not find favour with the Monarch. Rather than see them lost with your death, I would like to see them placed on display in a library that I am in the process of building."
    "A library? Of my works? Why?" Shakespeare was having to concentrate harder and harder on the conversation.
    "The Library of St John the Beheaded," Braxiatel said quietly, "is dedicated to preserving works of science, literature and philosophy that would otherwise be lost. Your plays Love's Labours Won, The Birth of Merlin and Sir John Oldcastle might not survive your death if someone does not act to preserve them now."
  7. ↑ Knowledge was his speciality. He collected it assiduously. It was his most profound desire to have all of the knowledge in the Universe in one place at one time: a huge Library that any member of any intelligent race could consult without let or hindrance. A dream, of course, but an achievable one.
