At some point in their history, the Pyroviles developed advanced technology from rock, and could travel into space. When their homeworld was stolen by [[Davros]] ([[DW]]: ''[[The Stolen Earth]]''), a group of Pyroviles escaped in an [[escape pod]], which crashed on [[Earth]]. The Pyroviles were obliterated in the explosion and eroded into dust particles in the core of [[Mount Vesuvius]]. They waited for thousands of years until they were woken up by an [[earthquake]] in [[Early human history#1st century A.D.|62 | At some point in their history, the Pyroviles developed advanced technology from rock, and could travel into space.

They were able to influence the soothsayers of Pompeii into creating a ventilation system, allowing the remains of the Pyroviles to be breathed in. These affected people were able to tell the future accurately from the [[time rift]] which formed around Pompeii. | ||

By [[Early human history#1st century A.D.|79 | By [[Early human history#1st century A.D.|79 AD.]], full-grown Pyrovilles had created a base beneath Vesuvius and planned to convert the power of the [[volcanic]] eruption to change all Humans into Pyroviles and create a new [[Pyrovillia]]. [[Tenth Doctor|The Doctor]] stopped this and knowingly caused Mount Vesuvius to erupt and destroy the Pyroviles and the nearby town of Pompeii. When asked by Donna Noble about the possiblity of them surviving the eruption, he revealed that the blast was going to be too powerful for even them to withstand.

The [[Torchwood Institute]] learned about the Pyroviles through the monitoring of a [[1923]] British archaeological survey of [[Rome]] by Professor [[Livesy-Smythe]], which turned up a scroll detailing the events, as chronicled by [[Lucius Caecilius Iucundus|Caecilius]]. This unlikely tale was later corroborated by the discovery of huge Pyrovile footprints and marble circuits in the Pompeii ruins.
