Vansell: Difference between revisions

The [[First Doctor]] knew him at the [[Prydonian Academy]]. He called Vansell by the nickname of "Nosebung". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Neverland]]'') Vansell belonged to [[the Deca]], a clique of young [[Time Lord]]s and Ladies which included the Doctor and the Master. Like [[The Rani|Ushas]] and [[Rallon]], Vansell did well for himself and received his [[Rassilon Imprimatur]] before the Doctor. Vansell had already joined the [[Celestial Intervention Agency|CIA]] despite his youth and followed their orders to watch the Doctor closely. He contacted the CIA about the Doctor's departure from Gallifrey with Rallon and [[Millennia]], leading to his expulsion from the Academy for his crime. The Doctor was angry about Vansell's betryal, and lectured him on the true meaning of friendship. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Divided Loyalties]]'')

Angered because he believed the [[Sixth Doctor]] had let the [[Nestene Consciousness]] escape destruction by the [[Time Lord]]s, he set up his trial on [[Space Station Zenobia]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Synthespians™]]'')

He accompanied the [[Lord President]] of [[Gallifrey]] to the planet [[Archetryx]] for the [[Archetryx Convention]] — a gathering to discuss the use of [[time travel]] capabilities of other races, such as the [[Monan Host]] and [[Andromedan]]s — but he had another motive there, which [[Sixth Doctor|the Doctor]] disliked, of looking and taking any advancements that the other temporal powers had applied to their time machines, and having the CIA adapt them to Gallifreyan [[TARDIS]]es. During the attack from the [[Dalek]]s, he helped to defend Archetryx and was surprised that the [[Vagoyan]]s helped. He escaped with the Lord President, leaving the Doctor, [[Evelyn Smythe]] and Lady President [[Romana II]] fighting the Daleks when [[Etra Prime]] collided. When the Daleks approached Gallifreyan space, disguised as Monan time vessels, he allowed the [[transduction barrier]] to be lowered, which enabled the Daleks to invade Gallifrey. He helped the Doctor defeat the Daleks and stop them from destroying the universe with the Apocalypse Element. He was angry that the Doctor erased most of the security system's retina scans and replaced it with only Evelyn's, but he came round when he realised when it meant the Daleks no longer had a reason to kill so many [[Time Lord]]s. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Apocalypse Element]]'')

Vansell led a [[Gallifrey]]an [[Time Station]] on an expedition into the world of [[anti-time]] to find what he believed to be the body of the [[Time Lord|Time Lords']] revered founder, [[Rassilon]]. He was possessed by anti-time energy, and attempted a coup over [[Lord President|Madam President]] [[Romana II|Romana]]. With her help, Vansell overcame the anti-time influence and trapped a group of [[Neverperson|Neverpeople]] (along with himself) inside the Time Station's [[Temporal engine|temporal reactors]]. He and the Neverpeople were vapourised by the temporal energy of the reactors. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Neverland]]'')

He was succeeded as coordinator of the CIA by [[Narvin]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Weapon of Choice]]'')
