Some accounts suggested that regeneration did not originate on Gallifrey, but was rather stolen from [[species]] that predated the Time Lords through experimentation. One of these accounts, described by {{Dhawan}} to the [[Thirteenth Doctor]], suggested that regeneration on Gallifrey began with the [[Timeless Child]], who [[Tecteun]], a [[Shobogan (species)|Shobogan]] explorer and scientist, had discovered on [[Planet (The Timeless Children)|another planet]], adopted, and then brought home. The child proved capable of regenerating their body an indefinite number of times, being of [[Timeless Child's species|another species]] from an unknown [[Timeless Child's realm|realm]]. The [[First Tecteun]] began experimenting upon her child, and eventually unravelled the mystery of regeneration by discovering the [[regeneration code]]. She put this to the test on her own biology, and regenerated into a new male incarnation. The [[Second Tecteun]] gave the gift of regeneration to all other Gallifreyans within the [[Citadel]], and would go on to found Time Lord society alongside the other [[Founders of Gallifrey|Founding Fathers of Gallifrey]]. He also limited the number of regenerations each Time Lord got to twelve. The Timeless Child went on to become [[the Doctor]], but eventually had their memories erased following their service as an agent of [[the Division]]. The Doctor was transformed back into a child and grew up again with no recollection of their former life, as well as a [[First Doctor's regeneration cycle|limited regeneration cycle]]. All records in [[the Matrix]] with explicit information on the Timeless Child and the origins of regeneration were redacted as the Founding Fathers wanted a "noble creation myth" instead. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Timeless Children (TV story)}}) What little remained was disguised with a visual filter that instead depicted the story of [[Brendan (Ascension of the Cybermen)|Brendan]], an immortal [[Ireland|Irish]] [[Police officer|policeman]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Ascension of the Cybermen (TV story)}}) The Thirteenth Doctor accepted this account, but later claimed the limited number of regenerations was a limit in the power of regeneration itself that the Shobogans discovered instead of creating.
