The Ravenous were originally a race known as the [[Kolstani]], who existed on a planet in the Time Vortex, drawing on the energy of the Vortex to sustain themselves. The Time Lord scientist Artron attempted to analyse that power to create a system of perfect regeneration, but was interrupted when the Doctor and the Master came to the planet seeking his insight into the Ravenous. The Master devised a machine that would allow him to absorb the energy from the Kolstani, forcing Artron to help him by fatally wounding the Doctor, but Artron reconfigured the device to give him that power rather than the Master. However, draining the energy from the Kolstani compromised their mental stability, reducing them to a state of perpetual hunger, where they sought to take the regenerative energy from Time Lords as a means of compensating for their own loss of energy.
