The exact identity of this messenger varied depending on the account. Many tellings held that he was | The exact identity of this messenger varied depending on the account. Many tellings held that he was a Time Lord from the Fourth Doctor's own era, explaining why that was the incarnation chosen. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Device of Death (novel)|A Device of Death]]'', ''[[A Brief History of Time Lords (novel)|A Brief History of Time Lords]]'', et. al) One account held that the messenger was Lord [[Ferain]], who was the [[Director of Allegiance]] within Gallifrey's [[Celestial Intervention Agency]] and writer of ''[[An Alternative History of Skaro: The Daleks without Davros]]'', ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'') whereas another telling held the Time Lord who led the mission was the [[coordinator]] of the APC Net, [[Jelpax]], after his team foresaw the Dalek-controlled future. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Divided Loyalties (novel)|Divided Loyalties]]'') By one account, the messenger had been [[Lord Cardinal]] [[Brastall]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Device of Death (novel)|A Device of Death]]'') By [[The Doctor's reality (Death Comes to Time)|another account]], the messenger was [[Valentine (Death Comes to Time)|Valentine]]. ([[WC]]: ''[[Death Comes to Time (webcast)|Death Comes to Time]]'') A final account claimed [[Valyes]], a Time Lord from a future point in time when Gallifrey was threatened by Daleks, had been the messenger. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Ascension (audio story)|Ascension]]'') The CIA's own documents claimed the messenger had been [[Director]] [[Deliavatsud]], whose administration had failed to recongise the threat of the Daleks for 25,000 years. | ||
These documents outlined a very different account of the mission's background, claiming that it was an unauthorised affair; Deliavatsud, who only learnt of the danger the Daleks posed when he consulted the APC Net about their expansion in [[101,197 TL]], launched what became known as "the infamous Deliavatsud Intervention" by stealing a [[Time Ring]] as a way to unlawfully [[Time Scoop]] the Doctor and his companions to Skaro. Whilst the Doctor was found innocent "on technical grounds" due to being forced into the mission, Deliavatsud's blatant rejection of the non-intervention policy resulted in him being [[Disintegration|disintegrated]] by the High Council as punishment, which forced the CIA's further [[interventionist]] activities to be handled in secret. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Dalek Problem (novel)|The Dalek Problem]]'') In the days before the [[War in Heaven]], it was indeed said that the "interventionist elite" carried out many [[retro-genocide]]s in secret. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Book of the War (novel)|The Book of the War]]'') However, the punishment for Deliavatsud's actions and push to go underground left the CIA crippled for years. A large amount of Deliavatsud's research into "the [[Dalek Situation]]" was also taken and destroyed by the High Council, so the newly-appointed [[Chief of Multihistorical Research]], [[Professor]] [[Qualen]], was selected to research into the future of "The Dalek Problem".
