According to a [[dream]] the [[Fifth Doctor]] experience while under the influence of the [[Celestial Toymaker]], during which he thought himself back on [[Gallifrey]] in the younger years of his [[First Doctor|first incarnation]], Jelpax was a member of [[the Deca]] alongside the Doctor, [[Drax]], [[Vansell]] [[the Master|"Koschei"]], [[the War Chief|"Magnus"]], [[the Rani|Ushas]], [[the Monk|Mortimus]], [[Millennia]] and [[Rallon]]. When the Doctor faced expulsion for his unlawful escapades, Jelpax assured him that he had not been the one to turn him in; though he disapproved of the Doctor's rash actions, Jelpax claimed to admire him nonetheless for the strength of his convictions.

Jelpax became one of the major recorders of [[Gallifrey]], keeping an eye on matters in "four or five minor galaxies" as the [[coordinator]] of the [[APC Net]]. His team foresaw a universe in which the [[Dalek]]s would become the dominant lifeform in [[N-Space|the universe]] and constructed a plan to stop it ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Divided Loyalties (novel)|Divided Loyalties]]'') by sending the [[Fourth Doctor]] back in time to the [[Thousand Year War]] between the [[Thal]]s and the [[Kaled]]s to try and prevent the Daleks ever arising, or, at the very least, altering their developments so that they matured into a more peaceful species. ([[TV]]: ''[[Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)|Genesis of the Daleks]]'') This ill-fated plan was ultimately helpless to prevent an eventual [[Last Great Time War|war]] between Gallifrey and [[Skaro]] which ended with the temporary annihilation of Time Lord supremacy.
