Along with his fellows, the Black Guardian was in attendance for the [[Event One|creation of the universe]]. ([[PROSE]]: [[The Whoniverse|''The Whoniverse'']])
=== Origins ===


=== Vampires ===
The [[Scrolls of Gallifrey]] claimed that the White and Black Guardian were created by [[Rassilon]] from within [[the Matrix]] shortly after his official "[[death]]" and resurrection as a [[Matrix Lord]]. Creating the two so that they could help him maintain cosmic balance, Rassilon entrusted them with the [[Key to Time]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Legacy of Gallifrey (short story)|The Legacy of Gallifrey]]'')
The [[Fifth Doctor]] theorised that the Black Guardian played some part in the concept of vampires, seeing their potential as creatures of chaos, and somehow being responsible for the law of vampires not becoming "true" vampires until a full [[moon]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Goth Opera (novel)|Goth Opera]]'')
 
In another account, the [[Celestial Toymaker]] claimed that there were actually six guardians, not two, with himself being another Guardian, and also that all six of them were in actuality [[Great Old One]]s from the [[pre-universe]], who had found new roles and new powers after surviving into the history of [[N-Space]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Divided Loyalties (novel)|Divided Loyalties]]'') Accordingly, one account claimed the Guardians of Time were all in attendance for the [[Event One|creation of the universe]] — ([[PROSE]]: [[The Whoniverse|''The Whoniverse'']]) although yet another account suggested that the sentient principle of "evil" who had witnessed the beginning of the cosmos was [[Fenric]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Curse of Fenric (TV story)|The Curse of Fenric]]'')
 
=== Early activities ===
The [[Fifth Doctor]] theorised that the Black Guardian played some part in the concept of [[vampire]]s, seeing their potential as creatures of chaos, and somehow being responsible for the law of vampires not becoming "true" vampires until a full [[moon]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Goth Opera (novel)|Goth Opera]]'') Other accounts placed the infestation of the universe by the [[Great Vampire|first and greatest]] of vampires at an early point in [[Gallifreyan history]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[State of Decay (TV story)|State of Decay]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Book of the War (novel)|The Book of the War]]'', etc.)
