Having been | Having been [[exile]]d to the wilderness after the dissolution of the old religious orders, I.M. Foreman found twelve individuals, all of whom had no [[memory]] of who they were, but who he eventually [[deduce]]d to be his future twelve [[incarnation]]s. Together they formed the thirteen acts of [[I.M. Foreman's Travelling Show|I.M. Foreman's One-Species Nongenetically Engineered Travelling Show]], a complex [[space-time]] event that could [[time travel|travel]] through [[time]]. As a [[priest]], he had been given the gift of [[regeneration]], but in those days it was much less stable than modern regeneration, meaning he tended to absorb the [[DNA]] of whatever he encountered in his life whenever he regenerated, each of his incarnations being increasingly less [[human]] as they moved on from his original body. | ||
He eventually arrived on [[Dust (planet)|Dust]], where his true nature was revealed to the [[Third Doctor]] and [[Sarah Jane Smith]]. When the [[Remote]] attacked the planet, Foreman's first twelve incarnations were forced to release Number 13, the most unstable of all his regenerations, which tried to eat everything and absorb it into its own structure. | He eventually arrived on [[Dust (planet)|Dust]], where his true nature was revealed to the [[Third Doctor]] and [[Sarah Jane Smith]].
