A Time Lord story showed an [[owl]], symbolising Rassilon, being overcome by a bat. It was claimed that the Great Vampire bit Rassilon and that Rassilon became a vampire himself. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Goth Opera (novel)|Goth Opera]]'') In the ducts and serviceways of the [[Capitol]] there were vampire shrines still used in the Doctor's time. Small groups of heretics followed the [[Cult of Rassilon the Vampire]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Blood Invocation (comic story)|Blood Invocation]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[Goth Opera (novel)|Goth Opera]]'') [[Ruath]] claimed that Rassilon deliberately became a vampire, knowing that the Time Lords had reached an evolutionary dead end and faced certain extinction. Ruath claimed that he knew vampires would become the dominant life in the universe, and lay undead in his tomb awaiting that moment.

Vampires were one of the few things that could still frighten a [[Eternal War|Time Lord]]. The [[Second Doctor]] had to break free from this conditioning in order to fight the vampire sent to kill him, while his companion [[Serena]] was unable to move at all. The Doctor contemplated that the legends of the wars against the [[Great Vampire]]s and [[bowship]]s had remained as an atavistic fear. He found it difficult to battle the creature, for it was already mostly dead and felt almost no pain, but it smelled the [[garlic]] on his breath and was repulsed. He killed it with a makeshift stake. | Vampires were one of the few things that could still frighten a [[Eternal War|Time Lord]].
