Guidance (The Next Life): Difference between revisions

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' was the Eutermesan leader of the Church of the Foundation and the father of the Doctor's companion C'rizz.

Guidence was the spiritual leader of the Church of the Foundation in zone Eutermes on Bortresoye. When the Kromon attacked C'rizz presumed he was dead. In reality, Guidence had survived the incident and had been recruited by Daqar Keep to find the site of the original Foundation which Guidence possessed half the key to (C'rizz holding the other half.  

At some unknown point in C'rizz's childhood, Guidence and the other members of the Foundation turned him into a vessel for the minds of everyone he killed.  

The Eutermesans were created so that they would be easily influenced, a fact that Rassilon used to his advantage in plotting his escape from the Divergent Universe and as such, Guidence was a religious zealot. In entering the Foundation he believed that he would be meeting his creators. Putting the Church above all else, he almost killed his own son when C'rizz started thinking that the Foundation was not all Guidence claimed. He almost openly despised Daqar Keep even though (or because) Keep had bought out the Church. He also disliked Perfection, calling her the Doctor's whore on one occasion. Presumably he knew about Keep's powers but this only lessened his opinion of the creature. An arrogance which lead to his death.  

Unlike most other Eutermesans, Guidence was aware that their species's personalities moulded to fit the people around them, yet it still never occurred to him that he was being manipulated (by Rassilon who was the original creator of the Church). He also knew that the most adept Eutermesans could not only change the colour of their skin but also its texture. Being highly adept himself, he was able to camoflage himself to the point of almost being invisible, even to his son's eyes.
