In [[1780]], Sabbath defected from the Service and set up his own independent power base. He sent a message via a number of corpses of the Service's [[Ratcatcher]]s saying, "leave me alone, and I'll leave you alone". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Adventuress of Henrietta Street (novel)|The Adventuress of Henrietta Street]]'') Shortly after this, at [[St. Cedd's College]], Sabbath was approached by the [[Council of Eight]], who warned him of the impending arrival of [[the Doctor]].

The Doctor chose Sabbath for his best man at his wedding to [[Scarlette]]. Sabbath later removed the Doctor's second heart, allegedly to cure the Doctor of an illness caused by the heart's attempt to connect the Doctor to the non-existent Gallifrey, but also allowing Sabbath to travel through time in ''[[the Jonah]]'', endowing him with the Doctor's ability to penetrate "deep time" — exploring the universe beyond his home era and planet — that would have been impossible in his more primitive ship otherwise.

Now imagine that he's a lot less smug and a lot less interested in copping off with people than Sean Connery would be, an agent who's dedicated to his job but still has a very definite kind of charm and a fierce (but understated) intelligence. At this point he's still a young operative, in his early-to-mid-twenties, but he's got an obvious talent for what he does and a genuine curiosity about the bizarre events now taking place. The idea is that although Sabbath's the opposition in this story, he's not actually the villain.

* Two characters named Sabbath appear in ''[[The Faction Paradox Protocols]]'': Sabbath Dei, and [[Sabbath (Movers)|Godfather Sabbath]]. Lawrence Miles said that these two Sabbaths were two entirely separate individuals, and his intent was "to play on the convention that people in the same series never coincidentally have the same name." Had the Faction Paradox Protocols continued, Miles planned to show the two Sabbaths meeting.<ref>[https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/factionparadox/sabbath-problems-in-movers-t608-s10.html#p2461 Sabbath Problems in Movers]</ref> | * Two characters named Sabbath appear in ''[[The Faction Paradox Protocols]]'': Sabbath Dei, and [[Sabbath (Movers)|Godfather Sabbath]].

* Sabbath appears in [[Daniel O'Mahony]]'s ''A Rag and a Bone'', published in the fanzine ''Myth Makers Presents: Essentials ''in 2003. While the story is not a literal narrative meant to be part of continuity, instead being a figurative commentary on the state of [[Doctor Who]] at the time, it nevertheless portrays Sabbath supplanting the [[Eighth Doctor|Eighth Doctor's]] role in the universe. This unlicensed story is the character's only appearance outside of the [[BBC Books]], [[Faction Paradox (series)|the ''Faction Paradox'' comics]], and [[The Faction Paradox Protocols|''The Faction Paradox Protocols'']]''.'' | * Sabbath appears in [[Daniel O'Mahony]]'s ''A Rag and a Bone'', published in the fanzine ''Myth Makers Presents: Essentials ''in 2003.
