Irving Braxiatel lived on [[Gallifrey]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Empire of Glass (novel)|The Empire of Glass]]'', etc.) and had [[Ulysses|a father]] who maintained a [[cellar]] of [[Draconian brandy]]; ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Everybody Loves Irving (audio story)|Everybody Loves Irving]]'') a younger brother, [[the Doctor]]; ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Tears of the Oracle (novel)|Tears of the Oracle]]'') and [[the Doctor's sisters|several sisters]].

Braxiatel studied at the [[Time Lord Academy]]. Although he hated his time there, during which he was nicknamed "the Icicle", ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Lies (audio story)|Lies]]'') he was determined to succeed so that he could leave Gallifrey, attracted by the wealth of [[knowledge]] in the universe and not wanting to conform.

Passing with a handful of firsts, Braxiatel became an unofficial [[ambassador]] for the [[Time Lord]]s, dealing with off-world affairs that he pretended not to be wholly interested in so as to disguise his desire to leave. He was eventually able to persuade the Time Lords that he would be of more use as a permanent presence off-world. Although the [[First Doctor]] respected Braxiatel, he envied his brother's freedom to leave the planet and attempted to follow in his footsteps before realising that the Time Lords did not need another Braxiatel. He instead deliberately underachieved at the Academy, something that Braxiatel believed was genius.
