The first time Straxus interfered in his own future timeline was during [[the War]], when his future self became stranded on [[Victorian era|Victorian]] [[Earth]]. The future Straxus had been sent on a mission by his superiors, accompanied by a [[Cwej (species)|Cwej]], but his [[Time Ring|time ring]] failed and he became stranded. Straxus needed to gain his people's attention, and thought the best way to do so was to interfere in history in an obvious way. Rather than assassinating a public figure or starting a war, which might have significantly damaged causality, he collected historical artefacts that should have been discovered in the future. He also attempted to draw another time ring to his time, and managed to attract Bernice Summerfield, but her time ring was set only to work for people matching a specific genetic pattern and he couldn't use it. Straxus wasn't the only one trying to get the attention of a superior through ritual: his [[Cwej (species)|Cwej]] [[Septimus]] was committing murders themed around the number seven, hoping for notice from a "[[Seventh Doctor|Pale God]]". The Cwej's scheme resulted in Straxus's [[regeneration]], but his interference had gotten his people's attention after all: specifically his previous self. The younger Straxus extracted, imprisoned, and interrogated his aborted future counterpart.

In a | In a new incarnation, Straxus was sent by the High Council to the Doctor's TARDIS. He ordered the [[Eighth Doctor]] to [[Lonsis]] in [[2006]] to retrieve [[Lucie Miller]] from a temporal blackspot. The Doctor agreed on condition that Straxus fix his TARDIS. Straxus agreed and gave the Doctor a time ring for his mission. | ||
On the Doctor's return from his mission, Straxus told the Doctor why Lucie was originally taken out of her own time and sent to the Doctor. Straxus then helped the Doctor defeat the [[Cyberman (Mondas)|Cybermen]] on Lonsis before returning to [[Gallifrey]].

Straxus was later sent by the [[Time Lord]]s to take the Doctor back to Gallifrey, where he was to be quarantined with the rest of the Time Lords in order to prevent the resurrection of [[Morbius]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Sisters of the Flame (audio story)|Sisters of the Flame]]'') Straxus failed to find the Doctor in time and instead was captured by [[Cristophe Zarodnix]] and was forced to surrender his DNA in order to resurrect Morbius. Straxus was imprisoned for ten years while Morbius fed on Straxus' life energy whenever he became weak. The Doctor and Lucie came for Straxus and the Doctor sacrificed his life to save the universe from Morbius. Straxus' life energy was restored after the Time Lords corrected history. Straxus was taken back to [[Karn]], where he offered to take Lucie home to Earth.

Another incarnation of Straxus became [[Coordinator]] of the CIA. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Death of Hope (audio story)|The Death of Hope]]'') This was when he next interfered in his own future. His next incarnation became fed up with the morally questionable actions of himself and his people, and allied himself with the [[Dalek Time Controller]]. The Dalek Time Controller helped him rewrite his biodata to remove his Time Lord heritage, so that when they retroactively destroyed the Time Lords the new Straxus — now calling himself Kotris, an old family name of his — would survive. Kotris knew that as Straxus he had attempted to avoid regenerating, and sent a [[temporal drone]] to prevent Straxus killing himself. Kotris and the Time Controller planned to incubate "[[retro-genitor particle]]s" in a human named [[Molly O'Sullivan]]. They sent Daleks after her and the Doctor, forcing them to spend time together and allowing the retro-genitor particles to latch onto the Doctor's Gallifreyan DNA. The particles were then intended to follow that DNA back through history, undoing not just the Doctor's life, but all of Gallifrey's past. | |||
The younger Coordinator Straxus was instructed by [[Lord President (The Great War)|the Lord President]] of Gallifrey to send the Doctor to [[France]] during [[World War I]]. Straxus later saved the Doctor and his new companion Molly from a group of Daleks. His TARDIS was attacked by the Daleks and he escaped back to Gallifrey. Straxus attempted to kill himself by throwing himself off a mountain on [[Srangor]], where regeneration was impossible, but was stopped by his future self's temporal drone. Straxus modified the retro-genitor particles implanted in Molly to target the Daleks instead of the Time Lords, but in a confrontation with Kotris and the Dalek Time Controller, the Time Controller killed him. This meant he could never become Kotris, and the scheme was entirely undone.
