Immortals (The Five Doctors)
The Immortals were a group of Time Lords stuck as statues in perpetual regeneration on the side of the Rassilon's Tomb. (PROSE: The Five Doctors [+]Loading...["The Five Doctors (novelisation)"]) This was achieved by wearing the Ring of Rassilon after winning the Game of Rassilon. (TV: The Five Doctors [+]Loading...["The Five Doctors (TV story)"], PROSE: The Five Doctors [+]Loading...["The Five Doctors (novelisation)"])
By one account, their eyes were constantly able to move. (PROSE: Blood Harvest [+]Loading...["Blood Harvest (novel)"]) By another account, only when a new Time Lord joined their number were they able to move, cherishing that brief return to flesh.

By one account, the Immortals were all men who had ironically cheery dispositions. After Borusa became the fourth Immortal, he referred to the others as "Far Left", "Left", and "Right". (PROSE: Punting [+]Loading...["Punting (short story)"])
History[[edit] | [edit source]]
By the time of Borusa's Game of Rassilon, there were three prior Immortals, with Borusa becoming the fourth.

When Romana II visited the Tomb, she saw the Immortals as a long row of faces. At this time, Agonal and Rath used a Time Gun directed at Borusa's statue to free him from immortality. (PROSE: Blood Harvest [+]Loading...["Blood Harvest (novel)"])
