According to another account, the Great Intelligence was originally the being known as [[Yog-Sothoth]], from [[Pre-universe|the universe]] before [[N-Space|the Doctor's]]; ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Millennial Rites (novel)|Millennial Rites]]'') he and his brethren survived the [[end of the universe|end of their universe]] by passing through a [[parallel universe]] that ended one second after theirs. Shifting again allowed them to enter the current universe shortly after it began expanding. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[All-Consuming Fire (novel)|All-Consuming Fire]]'', ''[[Millennial Rites (novel)|Millennial Rites]]'') Another account agreed that the Great Intelligence was a Great Old One; ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Roof of the World (audio story)|The Roof of the World]]'') another account stated that the Great Old Ones all lost their physical bodies running from the [[Fendahl]], explaining the Intelligence's disembodied nature and perpetual quest for incarnation.

Yet another account suggested that the Great Intelligence was created when a [[human]] boy, [[Walter Simeon]], began speaking to a snowman that, unbeknownst to the boy, had been created from an alien snow-like material which generated a low-level telepathic field. The snowman reflected his most dark beliefs and thoughts, and eventually formed its own consciousness, becoming the "dream [that] outlive[d] the dreamer". After Simeon's memory was erased in an ill-fated attempt to defeat both him and his inhuman creation, the growing Intelligence first displayed the ability to take over other's bodies as it possessed Simeon's mindless husk, and soon after "learned to live as a disembodied consciousness" | Yet another account suggested that the Great Intelligence was created when a [[human]] boy, [[Walter Simeon]], began speaking to a snowman that, unbeknownst to the boy, had been created from an alien snow-like material which generated a low-level telepathic field.

After [[War in Heaven|the War]], the [[Superior]]s sent [[Chris Cwej]] to investigate a disturbance on the surface of the devastated planet [[Nibo]]. Cwej found that a group of abandoned, deteriorating [[Time Engine]]s — weapons designed to emanate harmful [[temporal wave]]s — had generated a swarm of [[Shadow-Mantis]]es. After fighting his way into the Engines, Cwej realised that their waves had generated a life form, a cosmic fungus which metabolised time. Cwej defeated the entity in a psychic battle, but later worried that a surviving spore retained an imprint of his mind, and might grow into "a great intelligence".
