Cole was piloting a ship coming down to [[Arcking]], when the [[Dalek]]s, in search of the Master, attacked the ship, killing most people on board apart from him and a small number of others.

He was placed in medical care, where he met the Master, going under the alias "Doctor Keller". Cole, badly affected by survivor's guilt in the aftermath of the incident, told the Master that he wished he could be more proactive in helping out the many innocent people affected by the Time War. The Master commended him for this attitude and suggested that he would like to discuss the subject further with him at some point. | ||
When the Master asked for a pilot so he could use a landship to search for an energy source, which was rumoured to be why Arcking had such mysterious properties, he requested Cole as a pilot, alongside [[Phila]] as a companion, albeit briefly. Upon finding the source, they found that it was sentient. After leaving it, due to it talking to them and refusing to go, their landship was attacked by Daleks, and they were forced to leave it. Phila was killed, and Cole left Arcking with the Master in [[The Master's TARDIS|his TARDIS]].

The Master told him that while he, as a Time Lord, was not allowed to directly interfere, he would allow Cole a chance at playing the role of a saviour. He then showed Cole a chart over all nearby planets in danger from the War, and asked him to pick one to save. Cole protested that it hardly seemed like a fair choice, but the Master insisted that he could only pick one. Cole then reluctantly picked a planet, and he and the Master went to explore it. | ||
Cole and the Master discovered that the planet was a somewhat primitive planet, populated by peaceful farmers. Cole noticed that there didn't seem to be any immediate threat, and the Master agreed, realising that their stay on the planet was maybe going to be a prolonged one. Reminding Cole that he could not interfere, the Master left Cole at a village, while he went to the neighbouring town, wanting to learn go grow grapes and establish his own vineyard. Cole was met with curiosity by the villages, who were somewhat apprehensive about the "man the from sky", but when Cole declared that he came in peace and had landed on their planet with the intent to save them, they reacted with amusement and they accepted him into their community and put him to work. For next weeks, Cole went around the village and used his skills an engineer to make improvements to their primitive technology, and he gradually got romantically involved with a local woman named [[Elidh]]. He eventually discovered that the villagers, along with their crops and livestock were slowly dying due to fallout from the [[Last Great Time War|Time War]]. As Cole looked for a solution to the problem, he also had to deal with the local community growing increasingly suspicious and hostile towards him as they gradually started to starve and become sick from the fallout, despite Elidh and her father, [[Anvar]], trying to assure them that he was trustworthy. | Cole and the Master discovered that the planet was a somewhat primitive planet, populated by peaceful farmers.

The Master took Cole to [[No. 24 Marigold Lane]], [[Stamford Bridge]] in the [[1970s]] where a [[Time Lord]] agent was keeping the [[Heavenly Paradigm]] under lock and key. The Time Lord agent, posing as a harmless old lady, offered Cole and the Master tea laced with a sedative; Cole fell for the bait and fell asleep after drinking the drugged tea, but the Master, having figured what the agent was trying to do, didn't. Before he knocked the Time Lord agent out, the Master revealed that he needed Cole unconscious for the final part of his plan, so the tea had proved rather convenient. As Cole was unconscious, the Master strapped him to the Paradigm. | The Master took Cole to [[No. 24 Marigold Lane]], [[Stamford Bridge]] in the [[1970s]] where a [[Time Lord]] agent was keeping the [[Heavenly Paradigm]] under lock and key.

By plucking Cole out from time and taking him with him in his TARDIS, the Master had averted Cole's original fate which was to die in the Dalek attack on Arcking, which had created a paradox. Cole's subsequent actions on the farming planet had saved the local population, at the cost of turning them into a new, aggressive race, when they were all originally meant to die from the fallout; which created not only a paradox, but a paradox powered by another paradox. The Master had in fact groomed Cole into becoming a nexus for a potent amount of temporal energy, which would be enough to power the Paradigm. The Master then prepared to sacrifice Cole to the Paradigm as his usefulness had come to an end, offering him some cold comfort by telling him that - with his erasure from existence - the race he had inadvertently created would also cease to exist. When Cole, as his last act, protested against this callous treatment, the Master coldly reminded him that he previously had agree to make "any" sacrifice in exchange for his help.
