Like all Valeyards, the Professor was considered a ranking officer of the Shadow Proclamation, and had the right to contradict even the Shadow Architect if the matter pertained Time or history. Holding an intense dislike for the various Shadow Architects, she tended to resolve matters with the Antarian representative, The Founder (the Antarians had founded the Shadow Proclamation). | Like all Valeyards, the Professor was considered a ranking officer of the Shadow Proclamation, and had the right to contradict even the Shadow Architect if the matter pertained Time or history.

Knowing the fascination both her son and the Antarians held for Sol III, the Professor once travelled the Earth during a sabbatical for several years and wrote a series of books with the title ''Tales of the Sky'' describing her travels through India, the Middle East and northern Africa.<ref name="Human Nature">''[[TV]]: [[Human Nature (TV story)|Human Nature]]''</ref><ref name="The Family of Blood">''[[TV]]: [[The Family of Blood (TV story)|The Family of Blood]]''</ref> | Knowing the fascination both her son and the Antarians held for Sol III, the Professor once travelled the Earth during a sabbatical for several years and wrote a series of books with the title ''Tales of the Sky'' describing her travels through India, the Middle East and northern Africa.<ref name="Human Nature">''[[TV]]: [[Human Nature (TV story)|Human Nature]]''</ref><ref name="The Family of Blood">''[[TV]]: [[The Family of Blood (TV story)|The Family of Blood]]''</ref><br> | ||
This and many other visits to Earth gave her an affinity to Earth only surpassed by the Doctor and Keenon, believing humanity to be able to survive everything, including themselves. Befitting her status as a Valeyard, she displayed immense knowledge in Earth history, but found it often disturbing to see the parallels to early Antarian and Gallifreyan history. As Lord High Valeyard, she more than once had had to undo damage to important events in Earth history (and would thus develop a violent hatred of [[The Silence]] in time).<br> | |||
Amongst the nations of Earth, she had the same affinity to the UK as her son, citing their respect for tea, and spoke English in the tones of various regions of the nation.<br> | |||
Considering that the general population of Earth was oblivious of even the existence of extraterrestrial life, much less of the Doctor, it was no surprise humans remained oblivious to the Professor's ongoing efforts to preserve the planet's temporal integrity, and were unaware of her existence. There were exceptions to this, however. In [[The Year That Never Was]], [[The Master (Harold Saxon)|The Master]] made her a public enemy. After the events of the Year That Never Was, Torchwood Three was in possession of a calling crystal for the Professor, and called her in to deal with rogue Time Agent John Hart.<br> During the war in the Medusa Cascade, the [[Subwave network]] picked up her TARDIS signature, publicly calling her for assistance. Torchwood Director [[Jack Harkness]] eventually would list her as freelance agent/advisor.<br> | |||
The Professor was friends with many important figures of Earth history, among them Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, Robert Oppenheimer, James Watson and Francis Crick (the latter two had a field day with her DNA). | |||
