The [[Eighth Doctor]] believed that the Titans had descended from aquatic creatures which lived in the deep sea by the volcano on the Greek island [[Thera]]; unable to evolve normally in this hot, dark, heavy environment, they instead evolved an ability to move through time. Most sailed out into the vortex, but a few, amused by humanity, chose to remain; and then someone, either human or Titan, found a way to bind them to the volcano.

According to [[Koschei]], the ancestors of the Chronovores existed as part of [[time]], moving through time as other species moved through [[space]]. These ancestors fed on the pure energy found at the heart of [[star]]s. For the purposes of nourishing their young, or in the event that one of their kind grew tired or became ill and were stranded somewhere at some time, they built the [[Darkheart]] in [[Mutter's Spiral]]. A feat of dimensional engineering, the Darkheart was a [[space/time conduit]] and medical device which had the ability to transmit this energy to any point in space and time. They eventually evolved into a higher plane outside of time, and the Darkheart became disused. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Dark Path (novel)}}) | |||
A third account claimed they were spawned by the [[Great Old One]]s and were billions of years old. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Quantum Archangel (novel)|The Quantum Archangel]]'') | |||

Breaking the Ancient Covenants, the Eternal [[Elektra]] and the Chronovore [[Prometheus (The Quantum Archangel)|Prometheus]] conceived a child, Avatar, and were confronted by the Guardians as the [[Six-Fold-God]] in the darker strata, deep within the time vortex. Prometheus's existence was undone and Elektra was taken away, the darker strata being shunned and disowned and wiped from the collective memories of both races because of the horror and collective shame of summoning the Six-Fold-God. Later, [[Lillith]], matriarch of the Chronovores, petitioned for the Avatar to be destroyed, but the God spun a [[Crystal of Kronos|crystal]] and imprisoned the Avatar, which would later be known as [[Kronos]]. The crystal appeared on many worlds, eventually arriving on [[Dæmos]] before the [[Dæmon]]s brought it to [[Atlantis]] on [[Earth]]. Although used benevolently and worshipped, when the Master accessed the crystal in an encounter with the Third Doctor, Kronos was released earlier than intended and went mad, destroying Atlantis.
