Ancient carvings dating at least fifteen million years ago showed that the Old Ones ruled everywhere before they died out and went into hibernation after fleeing from the "[[Fendahl|predators with a touch of decay]]". They managed to escape from the great cosmic disaster in order to flee into the [[Time Vortex]]. There they became discorporate entities, thus leaving their bodies behind on Earth. Their minds sought to return to their bodies when the stars were correctly aligned with the tidal forces of the stellar masses, an event which could bring about a sufficient tear in the space-time continuum to create a pathway back to their bodies. However, as the stars were constantly expanding and contracting, they never returned to the same configuration as the time when the Old Ones went into hibernation. Thus, they required the assistance of their followers to attract the attention of their bodies; autonomic instincts and allow them a chance to compensate. As they were unable to affect the world physically, they used the influence of their powerful minds to achieve their goals.

The | The Pharaoh [[Amenhotep II]] discovered a form of them at one time on [[Earth]] and attempted to harness their power for himself. The [[Fifth Doctor]] described this Great Old One as parasitic and theorised they'd interbred with other species. The Pharaoh came to realise that they were beyond his control and lured them into a white pyramid with a structure of infinite reflections where the creature's evil was to be trapped forever. This trap succeeded and kept the world safe from their evil. The Great Old One attempted to escape via the Pharaoh's daughter [[Erimem]] during her travels with the Doctor in [[1917]] [[Tibet]], but was foiled by [[Peri Brown]] who froze their manifestations with liquid nitrogen. The Fifth Doctor subsequently used explosives to entomb their frozen forms. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Roof of the World (audio story)|The Roof of the World]]'') | ||
