The Dæmons studied other races, treating the universe as their laboratory. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Dæmons (TV story)|The Dæmons]]'') The [[Third Doctor]] said that, circa [[BC#Prehistory|100,000 years BC]], the Dæmons arrived on [[Earth]] and helped the [[human]]s to overcome the [[Neanderthal]]s before trying to lead their [[evolution]] and development ([[TV]]: ''[[The Dæmons (TV story)|The Dæmons]]'') in exchange for allegiance, as they often did with [[lesser species]] throughout the cosmos. Successful experiments were brought to be further cultivated in the [[Infernal Sphere]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[T.memeticus: A Morphology (short story)|T.memeticus: A Morphology]]'') but failed experiments like [[Atlantis]] were dispassionately destroyed. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Dæmons (TV story)|The Dæmons]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[T.memeticus: A Morphology (short story)|T.memeticus: A Morphology]]'') According to one account, the Dæmons gave the [[Atlantean]]s the [[Crystal of Kronos]], which later indirectly caused the destruction of Atlantis.

The Third Doctor said the Dæmons inspired myths of [[god]]s and [[demon]]s and the image of powerful beings with horns, including the [[Egypt]]ian god [[Khnum]]. They had been "coming and going ever since". [[Olive Hawthorne|Miss Hawthorne]] identified Azal as "[[Satan|the Devil]]". According to the Doctor, the Dæmons inspired the [[Greek]] civilisation, the [[Renaissance]] and the [[Industrial Revolution]].

A Dæmon called [[Mastho]] took over monitorship of Earth after Azal's death. He was summoned to Earth at three different points of time. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Child of Time (novel)|Child of Time]]'') Firstly, he was summoned to [[2004]], where [[Kate Stewart]] and [[Douglas Cavendish]] stopped him. ([[HOMEVID]]: ''[[Dæmos Rising]]'') The second time was in [[1586]], where [[the Sodality]] wished to harness his powers for their own benefit. Sensing that a Child of Time had been created by humans in this period, Mastho told the [[Grand Master]] and his [[Emily Blandish|Chancellor]] to eliminate all [[time channeller]]s and [[time sensitive]]s in order to lure it out into the open. He said that once this was done for them to summon him once more in [[2586]]. At the site of the final summoning, Mastho called [[Maria (Child of Time)|Maria]], the Child of Time, to him. Maria refused to obey him and escaped into the [[time vortex]], before committing suicide in [[1949]], the only way she knew of to stop Mastho's plans. Failing in his duty, Mastho self-destructed, consumed by the psionic energies he once commanded. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Child of Time (novel)|Child of Time]]'') | |||
Near the time of the [[War in Heaven]], the Dæmons were completely wiped out by some sort of massive cataclysmic event.
