A character called "Rassilon's Engineer" appears in a transmission [[Sam Jones]] receives on [[Anathema]] in ''[[Interference - Book One (novel)|Interference - Book One]]''. Although the character is not named, he is strongly implied to be Omega. The transmission originates in a [[Faction Paradox]]-influenced culture built on a Time Lord artefact, so the implication may be that Rassilon attempted to minimise Omega's part in Time Lord history, reducing him to the role of "Rassilon's Engineer".
