The snow | According to a third account, the Great Intelligence was formed when a young Walter Simeon discovered that a [[snowman]] he had built began to talk back to him. The "snow" was not actually snow but a flock of predatory, but unintelligent, [[space crystal]]s which generated a low-level telepathic field, causing it to respond to the thoughts and emotions of those around them. Because of this, the consciousness which spoke back to Simeon and began identifying itself as "the Intelligence" started out as nothing more than Simeon's own dark thoughts reflected back at him. As an adult, Simeon established the [[Great Intelligence Institute]] as the snow slowly swarmed to Earth, building a "[[big globey thing]]" in which the increasingly intelligent core of the swarm was housed. | ||

In [[1892]], its presence was sufficient enough to consume mankind. After Simeon's mind and memories were erased from after meeting the Intelligence, the [[Eleventh Doctor]] was surprised to see the Intelligence survived. The Doctor discovered that it had learned to survive beyond physical form. Controlling the now-mindless Simeon, it attacked the Doctor, but was stopped in the last minutes of [[Christmas Eve]] when the snow changed to "rain", mimicking the form of the tears of [[Captain Latimer]]'s family after [[Clara Oswin Oswald|Clara Oswald]]'s death. | In [[1892]], its presence was sufficient enough to consume mankind.
