The '''Kovarian Chapter''' was a faction of [[the Church]] of [[The Silence|Silence]] led by Madame [[Kovarian]], which included several [[Silent]]s. Circa the [[52nd century]], ([[TV]]: ''[[A Good Man Goes to War]]'') after the [[Siege of Trenzalore|Siege]] of [[Trenzalore]] broke out and the Church was assisting the [[Eleventh Doctor]] with protecting the planet from various hostile forces, preventing him from releasing the [[Time Lord]]s back into the universe and restarting the [[Time War]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time of the Doctor]]'') the Kovarian Chapter decided to travel back in time and kill the Doctor, thereby ensuring that the Time Lords never returned. | The '''Kovarian Chapter''' was a faction of [[the Church]] of [[The Silence|Silence]] led by Madame [[Kovarian]], which included several [[Silent]]s.

The cult made two (seemingly separate) attempts to kill the Doctor, the first by taking control of [[the Doctor's TARDIS|his TARDIS]] and causing it to explode on [[26 June]] [[2010]]. This, however, resulted in a [[total event collapse]] that, although corrected, left the [[crack]]s in the skin of the [[universe]]. This attempt was a complete failure, causing the very problem they were attempting to avert. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Pandorica Opens (TV story)|The Pandorica Opens]]'') | |||
The second attempt involved the Silents influencing [[human]] history for thousands of years, culminating in the creation of an astronaut suit that would be operated by [[River Song]], whom they kidnapped and raised to kill the Doctor ([[TV]]: ''[[A Good Man Goes to War]]'') at [[Lake Silencio]], [[Utah]]. Because it was a [[still point in time]], they hoped to create a [[fixed point]] for the Doctor's death. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Impossible Astronaut]]''/''[[Day of the Moon]]'') However, River refused to kill the Doctor, resulting in [[River Song's World|all of time happening at once]], before this was corrected by the Doctor faking his death with | The second attempt involved the Silents influencing [[human]] history for thousands of years, culminating in the creation of an astronaut suit that would be operated by [[River Song]], whom they kidnapped and raised to kill the Doctor ([[TV]]: ''[[A Good Man Goes to War]]'') at [[Lake Silencio]], [[Utah]].

The Doctor later commented that the Kovarian Chapter was caught in a "[[time loop|destiny trap]]," saying that you couldn't change [[history]] if you were part of it, since destroying the TARDIS created the crack through which the Time Lords could return, which they wanted to prevent.
