Roppen had no interest in [[politics]] and never attended council meetings, although he was permitted to do so. Instead, he studied what he had learned about the powers controlling the [[Eye of Harmony]] and attempted to reverse them. By applying the effect of retrogressive solicitation used in early [[TARDIS]]es into these forces, he created a device that was simultaneously astounding and terrible: the [[The Moment|Eye of Discord]]. At first, nobody was the [[military]] application of his new discovery, but after the [[High Council]]'s edict requiring all scientific breakthroughs to be submitted to the [[War Council]] for assessement, they quickly saw its potential for a terrible weapon. | Roppen had no interest in [[politics]] and never attended council meetings, although he was permitted to do so.

Roppen then dismantled his device, used a [[Sentience|sentient]] [[computer virus]] to destroy all record of his work, and left the Academy to take up a solitary life in the [[Mountains]] of [[Solace]] | Roppen then dismantled his device, used a [[Sentience|sentient]] [[computer virus]] to destroy all record of his work, and left the Academy to take up a solitary life in the [[Mountains]] of [[Solace]] and [[Solitude]]. Although the War Council was furious at his actions and demanded he be arrested, [[Lord President]] [[Rassilon]] quickly interceded and instructed that no warrant against Roppen would be issued while he was president. He then issued an [[Executive Order]] granting Roppen clemency for any so-called crimes committed by destroying the device. | ||
When in the midst of a conflict with the [[Nestene Consciousness]], Rassilon's closest aide, [[Sektay]] ,suggested he convince Roppen to re-engineer his device. Believing it to be a fruitful suggestion, Rassilon travelled into the Mountains to meet with Roppen. When Rassilon arrived, he was surprised to see the Lord President. Although Roppen expected the War Council would attempt to bring him back in the fold, he did not expect Rassilon to come in person. Rassilon successfully persuaded him to reconfigure the Eye of Discord into a new device, one which he dubbed the "Galaxy Eater". Roppen did so, only on the conditions that it be precisely to his specifications and that it would only be used once.

A figure from an early [[Time Lord]] [[myth]], it was unclear how much of Roppen's history as recounted in myth was true. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Introduction (short story)|Introduction]]'') The [[Gallifreyan]] people's early [[history]] was so distant and shrouded in mystery that later [[generation]]s surmised some of their myths were in fact history, and some of their history was actually myth.
