Sabbath Dei: Difference between revisions

After the [[War in Heaven]] came to an end, Sabbath continued to work for the Service, eventually becoming its commander by [[1774]]. He caught [[Cleeve]] and the [[America]]n ambassadors to King [[George III]] performing an [[Anasazi]] ritual to the god [[Teskatsipotcha]], and he sent the Service's [[Ratcatchers]] to catch [[Mayakatula]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Bêtes Noires & Dark Horses (comic story)|Bêtes Noires & Dark Horses]]'') According to the post-War edition of the ''[[Primer for the Spiral Politic]]'', he was one of the few individuals to bring his own agenda to the War.

In [[1780]], Sabbath defected from the Service and set up his own independent power base. He sent a message via a number of corpses of the Service's [[Ratcatcher]]s saying, "leave me alone, and I'll leave you alone". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Adventuress of Henrietta Street (novel)|The Adventuress of Henrietta Street]]'') Shortly after this, at [[St. Cedd's College]], Sabbath was approached by the [[Council of Eight]], who warned him of the impending arrival of [[the Doctor]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Sometime Never... (novel)|Sometime Never...]]'')

The Doctor chose Sabbath for his best man at his wedding to [[Scarlette]]. Sabbath later removed the Doctor's second heart, allegedly to cure the Doctor of an illness caused by the heart's attempt to connect the Doctor to a non-existent [[Gallifrey]], but also allowing Sabbath to travel through time in ''[[the Jonah]]'', endowing him with the Doctor's ability to penetrate "deep time" — exploring the universe beyond his home era and planet — that would have been impossible in his more primitive ship otherwise. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Adventuress of Henrietta Street (novel)|The Adventuress of Henrietta Street]]'')

Now with the ability to penetrate “deep time”, Sabbath took on [[Juliette Vierge]] as his travelling companion, visiting [[Hispaniola]] for some time, before eventually returning her to Earth. ([[PROSE]]:''[[The Adventuress of Henrietta Street (novel)|The Adventuress of Henrietta Street]]'') Never being meant to leave London with Sabbath, Juliette was removed from space and time and placed in a [[Schrodinger Cell]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Sometime Never... (novel)|Sometime Never...]]'')

While near death, Sabbath met [[Death (Timewyrm: Revelation)|Death]], learning that the Doctor's second heart created a link between the Doctor and Sabbath that prevented the Doctor from dying; even if his chest was virtually crushed, one of his hearts was still beating in Sabbath. After this link resulted in Kelly sacrificing herself to save the Doctor in the belief that she would also save Sabbath, Sabbath tore out the heart, allowing the Doctor to grow a new one.

Sabbath was sent by his masters to take actions that would allegedly "collapse" reality into a single manageable timeline, convinced that time-travellers weakened reality by creating new universes every time they went back in time. This plan failed, and instead Sabbath's actions caused every parallel universe to overlap and fight for dominance. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Time Zero (novel)|Time Zero]]'') Realising that his plans had not worked, Sabbath kidnapped two of the [[Warlocks of Demigest]] and planned to use their powers to his advantage. He took the Warlocks in the ''Jonah'' to [[Selonart]], where he attempted to become one with the universe due to the unique conditions on the planet. He planned to use the Warlocks to then help him control the universe. Sabbath's plan backfired due to the intervention of the Doctor and [[Bloom (The Infinity Race)|Bloom]]. Sabbath was then taken by the Warlocks back to [[Demigest]] where he was kept as their prisoner. The Doctor arrived later and killed the Warlocks, allowing Sabbath to escape. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Infinity Race (novel)|The Infinity Race]]'') Sabbath later assisted [[Fitz Kreiner]], [[Anji Kapoor]] and the Doctor when the multiple realities began to converge and mix.
