Braxiatel sent a message to Benny informing her of [[Charles Stafford]]'s upcoming visit and reminded her again two days later, finding that she had completely forgotten what had happened to her in that time. He later burned the [[mnemosine store book]] that Stafford gave to her.

The Braxiatel who later went to [[Legion (planet)|Legion]] had the [[Pandora]] in his head transferred back in time to the Braxiatel on the Collection, around the time of Peter's birth, by [[Avril Fenman]]. The liberated Braxiatel believed that this accounted for the actions that the Braxiatel on the Collection would go on to perform.

==== Axis occupation ==== | |||
The Collection was attacked and occupied by the [[Fifth Axis]], who placed Braxiatel under [[house arrest]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Fall (short story)|The Fall]]'') and, hoping to gain access to [[Irving Braxiatel's TARDIS|his TARDIS]], [[torture]]d him. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Five Dimensional Thinking (short story)|Five Dimensional Thinking]]''; [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Death and the Daleks (audio story)|Death and the Daleks]]'') He and [[Joseph (Oh No It Isn't!)|Joseph]] altered the [[Oracle of the Lost]] to give the Axis false prophecies ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Careless Talk (short story)|Careless Talk]]'') and, coming to believe that his future self was behind the Axis, attempted to kill himself and [[Mushtaq Anson]] with [[poison]]. However, Benny convinced him to allow her to administer the [[antidote]].

However, Benny convinced him to allow her to administer the [[antidote]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Five Dimensional Thinking (short story)|Five Dimensional Thinking]]'') | ||
Braxiatel contacted [[Kellarn]] and asked him to come to the Collection disguised as [[Leo Didas]], but he was killed by the Axis and replaced with a [[Dalek duplicate|duplicate]] who tested Benny's loyalty, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Price of Everything (short story)|The Price of Everything]]'') and later told [[Ash Madai]] how to get Benny's [[Time Ring]] when Madai threatened to tell Anson how the Axis would be defeated.

([[PROSE]]: ''[[Midrash (short story)|Midrash]]'') | ||
A [[watcher (Logopolis)|Watcher]] appeared to Braxiatel. Braxiatel had Joseph tell Benny where he was before strangling [[Bev Tarrant]], leading Benny to shoot him in the chest and the Watcher to be dragged towards him before falling apart. Once it had, Braxiatel came to and was unharmed, telling Benny that he strangled Bev in an attempt to defeat the Watcher.

Once it had, Braxiatel came to and was unharmed, telling Benny that he strangled Bev in an attempt to defeat the Watcher. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Fear of Corners (short story)|Fear of Corners]]'') The root of an organic part of his technology later took Benny's form and attempted to kill him, but he was able to defeat her. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Paths Not Taken (short story)|Paths Not Taken]]'') When the Axis demanded that Braxiatel remove his non-human acquisitions, he convinced [[Martlak]] to sell them to the [[Finliri]] and coordinated with Bev to smuggle the Axis' [[Ormand-Seltec flyer]]s off of the Collection. Once they were found out, they were punished. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Passing Storms (short story)|Passing Storms]]'') | ||
Braxiatel learnt from Benny of [[Isaac Summerfield II]]'s involvement with the Axis and continued to resist the temptation to use his TARDIS for fear of it being what the Axis wanted, also making sure that Anson did not know how worried he was about the changes to the timeline that allowed the occupation. When [[Joseph (Oh No It Isn't!)|Joseph]] told him of the [[Dalek]]s' involvement through a coded message, Braxiatel dematerialised his TARDIS and observed the fight, later using it to take the resistance to the control centre and attacking Isaac upon finding that he was still under Dalek control and was part of a plan to steal his ship. He built a device similar to a [[battle computer]] which Isaac used to destroy the Axis, after which Braxiatel returned him to the [[1980s]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Death and the Daleks (audio story)|Death and the Daleks]]'') | |||
==== The restoration ==== | |||
With the Collection liberated and the Axis defeated, Braxiatel made new alliances and arrangements with the nearby civilisations, who ensured that the Collection would be protected in the future. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Death and the Daleks (audio story)|Death and the Daleks]]'') As [[Crofton|Mr Crofton]] had died during the occupation, Braxiatel hired [[Veronica Bland]] as the new [[gardener]] and fell in love with her due to her powers. The two were soon engaged until, at the [[wedding]], Braxiatel realised that he was being controlled and turned everyone against her, causing her to wither away. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Braxiatel in Love (audio story)|Braxiatel in Love]]'') He then persuaded [[Hass]] to take on the job. | |||
By [[Christmas]], the Collection was almost fully rebuilt. He threw a party with tacky decorations and, in his office, found that the [[Eighth Doctor]] had left him a pair of [[sock]]s, signed "Thete". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[...Be Forgot (short story)|...Be Forgot]]'') In [[April]], Braxiatel invited students to the Collection so that everybody would start to relax, giving them made-up traditions to rebel against. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Misplaced Spring (short story)|Misplaced Spring]]'') He later held the [[First Annual Braxiatel Collection Archaeology Conference]] and wondered if the academic setting was too restrictive for Benny. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Final Draft (short story)|Final Draft]]'') | |||
Learning from the [[Draconian]]s that something was coming for the Collection, Braxiatel contacted his past self on [[Gallifrey]] and had him send him [[Crystal of Cantus|a Gallifreyan crystal]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Crystal of Cantus (audio story)|Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Crystal of Cantus]]'') He brought [[Ronan McGinley]] to the Collection to help [[Clarissa Jones]] move on from [[Bernard Moskof]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Summer Affair (short story)|A Summer Affair]]'') after which he turned him into a [[Cyberman]] and took him to [[Cantus]], the Gallifreyan crystal allowing Ronan to control and manipulate the Cybermen to defend the Collection. Braxiatel was aware, however, that the crystal would slowly kill him. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Crystal of Cantus (audio story)|Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Crystal of Cantus]]'') | |||
Braxiatel refused to cancel [[Stamis]]'s speech when Benny asked him to, saying that it would make him no better than the Axis, and instead told her to convince Stamis not to give it. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Denial (short story)|Denial]]'') He showed Benny [[Kardom|Dr Kardom]]'s body and presumed that he had been killed by the [[poison]]ous book that Benny acquired, although this was later found to be untrue. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Blame of the Nose (short story)|The Blame of the Nose]]'') As part of a plan to acquire a set of [[statue]]s, Braxiatel gave Benny time off to spend with Jason and sent Bev to [[Viveka]] instead, eventually resulting in the statues being removed to the Collection. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Reparation (short story)|Reparation]]'') He informed Benny of a complaint that he received about her hacking a [[satellite]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Buried Alive (short story)|Buried Alive]]'') | |||
[[Marlow (Nothing Up My Sleeve)|Marlow]], an old friend of Braxiatel, left him a number of artefacts in the event of his [[death]]. He had Benny investigate after Jason was accused of killing Marlow's wife, [[Brenda (Nothing Up My Sleeve)|Brenda]], and it was eventually found that they had faked their deaths. During this time, Braxiatel was facing criticism due to the statue debacle. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Nothing Up My Sleeve (short story)|Nothing Up My Sleeve]]'') He set up a conference on war and conflict which Benny argued against due to the Axis occupation having ended less than two years prior, unaware that Braxiatel intended to allow speaker [[Ovmakh]] to dig for Axis tech for him to acquire. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Mentioning the War (short story)|Mentioning the War]]'') | |||
Braxiatel sent Benny to [[Jegg-Sau]] to search for [[Robert Eliot Whitman]]'s "treasures". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Relics of Jegg-Sau (audio story)|Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Relics of Jegg-Sau]]'') He visited [[Earth]] when invited by old friend [[Matthew Barrister]], who told him about the murders related to the [[Purpura Pawn]] and asked for a loan for his gambling debts. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Purpura Pawn (short story)|The Purpura Pawn]]'') To cover up his involvement in the Purpura affair and the deaths of [[Kristoffa Tailor]]'s parents, he had a waiter poison Krostoffa and [[Clare Marsh]] before putting the waiter into a [[coma]] with a migraine. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[On Trial (short story)|On Trial]]'') | |||
Braxiatel removed the copy of ''[[The Masquerade of Death]]'' that Benny recovered as he suspected that it was dangerous and believed that someone had tried to kill her. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Masquerade of Death (audio story)|Professor Bernice Summerfield and the Masquerade of Death]]'') He told Benny that it was impossible to contact Ronan when she asked him asked him to do so for Ms Jones's sake ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Parallel Lives (anthology)|Parallel Lives (I)]]'') and objected to her going after Ms Jones when she left. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Serpent's Tooth (short story)|The Serpent's Tooth]]'') He later sent Jason after Benny, telling him that he did not want Peter to see his mother kill someone, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Parallel Lives (anthology)|Parallel Lives (II)]]'') and told Bev that she had done the right thing when she shot and killed Ms Jones to save Adrian. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Parallel Lives (anthology)|Parallel Lives (IV)]]'') | |||

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.

Jason Kane grew suspicious that Bernice and he were meant to still be married and have children, but that Braxiatel had altered the timeline for his own purposes. He also began to believe Irving had altered the lives and timelines of everyone at the Collection for his own ends and only Jason could notice. He eventually found proof. Braxiatel had deliberately orchestrated [[Parallel Lives|the breakdown and death]] of [[Clarissa Jones]] (after she had noticed his manipulations), had manipulated time to ''create'' a Draconian/Mim war, and was "grooming" Bernice as part of his agenda to preserve the past via his Collection. The Collection was his [[TARDIS]], making his temporal manipulations easier. To prevent Jason revealing any of this, Braxiatel manipulated [[Peter Summerfield]] into killing him.

==== The Deindum and downfall ==== | |||
While pretending to be just a resident, Braxiatel regained dominance of the Collection via a puppet provisional government and, using his ally [[Doggles]], manipulating a mourning Bernice to bring her closer to him. This failed and Bernice escaped with her son. Braxiatel sent agents to track her down. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Wake (audio story)|The Wake]]'') He once asked Benny to paint him which he used to keep as part of his vault in the [[Vingus Bank]]. The bank staff were clones of him for security reasons.

Braxiatel's reasons for setting up the Collection where he did were later revealed to be due to the location of a great temporal leak depositing enough power to fuel a hundred colonies, or perhaps even bring back his own people. He began to syphon the leak, moving it to the planet [[Maximediras]] which he had just purchased following the failure of its economy, thinking it could potentially become a new homeworld for his people. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Resurrecting the Past (audio story)|Resurrecting the Past]]'') Whilst plotting to restore his people he became aware of the [[Deindum]], a species in the future who would learn the secret of time travel and could rival his own people. He attempted to prevent their creation using Frost but was ironically stopped by the involvement of Bernice Summerfield and Robyn, an android created by this race and sent back in time to ensure their creation.
