According to some accounts, an [[earlier race of Time Lords]] ruled over [[Great Old Ones' universe|a previous universe]] which was destroyed right as [[the Big Bang]] gave birth to [[the Doctor's universe]]. A few of their numbers survived, including the military strategist [[Yog-Sothoth]] and other beings such as [[Nyarlathotep]] or [[Cthulhu]], fleeing into the new universe where they acquired godlike powers and were known as the [[Great Old One]]s.
