'''The Great Key''' (also known as the '''Great Key of Rassilon''') was one of the [[Artefacts of Rassilon]], which was never (except in rare circumstances) in possession of the [[Lord President]], the [[Chancellor]] typically held the Great Key.  A forbidden weapon known as the [[De-mat Gun]] was activated by the Great Key. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Invasion of Time]]'')
'''The Great Key''' (also known as the '''Great Key of Rassilon''') was one of the [[Artefacts of Rassilon]], which was never (except in rare circumstances) in possession of the [[Lord President]], the [[Chancellor]] typically held the Great Key.  A forbidden weapon known as the [[De-mat Gun]] was activated by the Great Key. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Invasion of Time]]'')


Near the end of the [[Last Great Time War]] the Key was taken to a planet where [[Eighth Doctor|the Doctor]] was being held prisoner. The Doctor escaped and stole the Great Key, intending to create a modified [[De-mat Gun]] that would wipe out millions from time and space at once by using the [[Medusa Cascade]]. ([[IDW]]: [[The Forgotten|''The Forgotten'']])
Toward the end of [[The Last Great Time War]], [[Eighth Doctor|The Doctor]] was imprisoned for over a month on an unknown planet with a [[Malmooth]] named [[Chantir]], it was later revealed that [[Eighth Doctor|The Doctor]] had planned his imprisonment to infiltrate the prison and steal [[The Great Key]] when it arrived on a transport. After escaping with the key, The Doctor explained that The Great Key was once part of a weapon called the De-mat Gun, a weapon that could "...remove something completely from time and space."
 
When asked if it would "...become another De-mat Gun... a weapon of destruction...?" the Doctor replied "Yes. But not as small as a gun. The De-mat Gun removes people from time and space - one at a time. I may need to create something that removes millions from time and space - at once. This key will lock the [[Medusa Cascade]] forever - if we need to." ([[IDW]]: [[The Forgotten]])
 
It is unclear whether the doctor created a superior De-mat Gun which could wipe millions from time and space at once (by locking the Medusa Cascade or not) or if [[The Great Key]] alone could lock the Medusa Cascade (possibly wiping millions from time and space). ([[IDW]]: [[The Forgotten]])
