Straxus once worked for the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]]. Unbeknownst to the [[High Council]], he was instructed to gather from the [[Vess]] weapons that would allow the Time Lords to defend themselves and defeat races that posed a threat to Gallifrey. He was discovered by {{Pratt}}, who blackmailed him and the CIA by threatening to inform the High Council. In exchange for his silence, Straxus let him buy a [[conceptual bomb]] from the Vess. The Master used the device to attack the Doctor's timeline, using the bomb to erase [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] and consequently everything he had accomplished. Recognising that the loss of the Doctor from history was causing too much damage, Straxus then captured the [[Sixth Doctor]] to ask for his help in defeating the Master. Eventually, he regretted his own actions and claimed he meant to report to the High Council. His TARDIS was destroyed by the Sixth Doctor by forcing and expanding its dimensional stabilisation field, in order to let the Doctor's other incarnations land in the pocket dimension of the Vess at the same time. Although the first three Doctors were only able to partially materialise, this was enough for the other Doctors to work out what the Master had done and undo his attack, essentially erasing the whole crisis from existence.

Straxus was involved in a scandal with [[Ludwig Cooray]] in [[Ceylon]], [[1893]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Gallery of Pigeons (short story)|A Gallery of Pigeons]]'')


The first time Straxus interfered in his own future timeline was during [[the War]], when his future self became stranded on [[Victorian era|Victorian]] [[Earth]]. The future Straxus had been sent on a mission by his superiors, accompanied by a [[Cwej (species)|Cwej]], but his [[Time Ring|time ring]] failed and he became stranded. Straxus needed to gain his people's attention, and thought the best way to do so was to interfere in history in an obvious way. Rather than assassinating a public figure or starting a war, which might have significantly damaged causality, he collected historical artefacts that should have been discovered in the future. He also attempted to draw another time ring to his time, and managed to attract Bernice Summerfield, but her time ring was set only to work for people matching a specific genetic pattern and he couldn't use it. Straxus wasn't the only one trying to get the attention of a superior through ritual: his [[Cwej (species)|Cwej]] [[Septimus]] was committing murders themed around the number seven, hoping for notice from a "[[Seventh Doctor|Pale God]]". The Cwej's scheme resulted in Straxus's [[regeneration]], but his interference had gotten his people's attention after all: specifically his previous self. The younger Straxus extracted, imprisoned, and interrogated his aborted future counterpart.
