He came to Romana after the events of the third moon of [[Kikrit]] to help her explain what happened. He informed [[Leela]] that Romana wanted her help. He knew of the [[Free Time]] movement on [[Gryben]] and was worried when they knew of terrible time technologies. Romana asked him for his opinion on the situation on Gryben. He thought that the story which [[Mephistopheles Arkadian]] told could mean that the [[Monan Host]] were trying to usurp the Time Lords. When the situation on Gryben worsened as a combination of the Monan Security forces and the [[Timonic Fusion Device]] was armed, he stopped Romana from evacuating the planet.

Braxiatel became involved in political affairs on [[Gallifrey]]. He tried to halt the disaster he anticipated from the Timonic Fusion Device, known as [[Project Alpha]], being built by [[Glower]] and his technician, [[Narvin]]. He presided over the Inquiry into Romana's actions on Gryben. He knew that a Timonic Fusion Device existed and Darkel's line of questioning was wrong. When K9 accidentally let off a data bomb, he became worried when the data in the matrix had a recording of its explosion, an explosion that didn't happen. He suggested to Leela to go to the Archives if she wanted to know more about Andred. When Darkel said that he had illegally interfered in the affairs of the universe, he said that all he was doing was protecting a set of art treasures. It was the detonation of the timonic fusion device and the destruction of [[Minyos]] that made him create the collection. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Inquiry (audio story)|The Inquiry]]'')

Braxiatel was a tutor in the [[Time Lord Academy]] when [[Romana I]] attended. When she was contacted by [[Pandora]], she told him. He hypnotised her to forget not only Pandora but also him. As a result, she recalled only having heard of him through his art collection before her eventual return to Gallifrey from [[E-Space]]. He guided her subsequent rise to the Presidency in order to watch her closely for any evidence of Pandora's influence. He eventually became in charge of the academy and asked Romana to appoint him to the role of chancellor. He chastised [[Wynter (Lies)|Wynter]] for leaving Romana in the catacombs. He worked out that Narvin was being framed and wasn't the cause of the [[Archivist (The Inquiry)|Archivist's]] death. He went with Narvin to find Romana in the vaults.

Secretly, throughout his rise to power, he was in communication with his past and future selves, sending items to his collection. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Lies (audio story)|Lies]]'') President Romana knew this and held the information over him; he would be disgraced if it were known that he had broken the laws of time.

He presided over the Inquiry over the Pandora incident and recommended to Romana that she take Garden Leave whilst the K9's tracked Pandora in the Matrix. He had to debate with Darkel that this wasn't evidence of Romana not being fit for office. When an intruder came to [[Davidia]], he was tasked with finding out which Time Lord it was. He recalled Romana when K9 found Pandora in the Matrix. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Spirit (audio story)|Spirit]]'')

He suggested to let [[Castellan]] Wynter oversee the investigation of the mysterious body. When Andred informed him about when [[Gillestes]] tried to poison the water supply. Eventually, Braxiatel became High [[Chancellor]], a post empty for many years since Romana's predecessor had overthrown ''his'' predecessor. Mere hours later Braxiatel had to use his mind to contain the past and present forms of [[Pandora]]. Pandora would be able to escape if he ever connected to [[the Matrix]] or [[telepathy|telepathically]] communicated with another Time Lord mind, so Braxiatel exiled himself from Gallifrey. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Pandora (audio story)|Pandora]]'')

When Romana destroyed the future form of Pandora, as well as its intelligence, it also destroyed [[the Matrix]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Warfare (audio story)|Warfare]]'') After Romana was removed from office, Braxiatel returned briefly and unexpectedly to Gallifrey and assumed the post of [[Lord President]], since there was now nowhere for the Pandora entity to escape to. Having conspired with [[Matthias]], he claimed that as Inquisitor [[Darkel]] had cancelled much of Romana's presidential edicts, he was restored to the position of Chancellor and Vice-President. His first act was to free Romana.

The ambitious Darkel goaded Braxiatel into losing control of Pandora, believing that it would destroy Braxiatel's mind. Braxiatel revealed that only a remnant of the entity had ever been in his mind; the bulk of it had sought refuge in Darkel's mind and Braxiatel had merely been the key that kept it restrained. Freed, Pandora consumed both Darkel and itself. Immediately resigning, Braxiatel named Matthias his successor, much to Romana's surprise, and returned to his exile, retaining the last fragments of Pandora within him.

Braxiatel was not done: hearing rumours of a threat against Gallifrey and deciding that in its weakened state the world was doomed, he hatched a scheme to preserve the Time Lord [[biodata]] archive, holding the genetic patterns of all Time Lords, past and present, hoping to reconstruct Gallifrey after its inevitable fall. As the [[Free Time]] [[Dogma Virus]] ravaged Gallifrey, Matthias ordered Romana to find the cure, then go into exile. Romana followed the trail, only to find Braxiatel. He had nominated Matthias knowing that whoever was President was doomed to fall to the Dogma virus. The only cure was to end the Time Lords' regeneration capabilities. With [[K9]]'s help, Braxiatel used a [[Time Scoop]] to collect the biodata archive. He asked Romana to decide whether to administer the cure or to let Gallifrey die and rebuild it using the biodata. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Panacea (audio story)|Panacea]]'')

Braxiatel took Romana, Leela, K9 and Narvin to the [[Axis]]. They explored numerous alternate Gallifreys to find one on which they could live. The first [[Gallifrey (Reborn)|Gallifrey]] they explored, was one where Romana didn't travel with the Doctor. He became intrigued when one of the Time Lords tried to sell his future incarnations to Brax and Romana. He flirted with the alternative version of Romana. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Reborn (audio story)|Reborn]]'') He stayed behind on the axis so that no-one from an alternate timeline could take over it. On one of these Gallifreys, they encountered an alternate version of [[Burner Doctor|the Doctor]], who returned to the Axis. It turned out the Doctor meant to assassinate Braxiatel, and during a fight, they fell into one of the Axis's portals. Romana said it likely that they would be falling through time for eternity, but it was possible that one or both of them would end up in one of the timelines.

Braxiatel was tending to the bar at the [[White Rabbit (Legion)|White Rabbit]] when [[Billie Ford|Miss Hannigan]] appeared. He was surprised to have a customer so late in the night. Shortly afterwards, [[Pike Thornton|the Brimstone Kid]] arrived telling him, Benny and [[Toothless Bob]] that [[Cazador]] was after him. He went with the Kid to find the money in a diamond mine with Benny. In the mine, the Kid revealed that he was a bounty hunter who was sent to capture Braxiatel for the other Braxiatel's crimes. He escaped with the real Brimstone Kid and Benny in an escape pod. Benny then lost contact with him. She thought he had crashed into an asteroid.

He was actually kidnapped by [[the Epoch]]. The Epoch took Braxiatel to a point beyond time, where his memory was altered to make him think that he was an actor, called Miles Richardson, portraying Braxiatel. Bernice awoke the dormant personalities in her companions and defeated the Epoch by burying it under paradoxes of its own creation. Using the Epoch's technology, Braxiatel then sought out a way to find [[Gallifrey]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[In Living Memory (audio story)|In Living Memory]]'')

During this time, he won [[KS-159]], the future home of his Collection. Braxiatel supported Benny when she was dying and through her memory-loss that came with the recovery, conspiring with Jason, Chris, and Clarence to stop Benny from abandoning them all for the dangerous Eastern Rim. Braxiatel supported the Time Lords when their problems with [[the People]] had to be resolved. He supported the team in sending Dellah back to the Gods' universe, destroying that threat and ending the prospect of a war between the People and the Time Lords. In the aftermath, after leaving Vremnya, Braxiatel invited Benny to join him on the newly established Collection.

Whilst playing a game of tennis he first bumped into [[Veronica Bland]], and kept meeting up with her. He hadn't found a replacement for Mr [[Crofton]] and whilst Jason was offworld he had to take care of them. He became overprotective of Veronica. He delibrately got Benny drunk to find out why she didn't like Veronica. Benny accused Brax that he was collecting Veronica for the collection. He then banished Benny for this view. He had installed cameras in Veronica's room and found Benny was in the collection. Benny realised that Brax was being controlled by Veronica. At the wedding he realised this and fell out of love with her and made everyone not love her. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Braxiatel in Love (audio story)|Braxiatel in Love]]'')

To ensure the Collection would survive, he recruited an army. He turned to the colony of [[Cantus]], which had been taken over long ago by the [[Cyberman (Mondas)|Cybermen]], and had a member of the Collection, [[Ronan McGinley]], turned into a [[Cyber-Controller]] subject to Braxiatel's will. Using a mysterious [[Gallifreyan crystal]], Ronan made all the Cybermen follow Braxiatel's orders. It was later revealed that the crystal was slowly killing Ronan, so Braxiatel arranged for Jason to arrive on Cantus to become the new Controller. Thanks to Benny, this plan backfired and Jason remembered everything that Braxiatel had done to him. Braxiatel was forced to leave the Collection.
