In spite of the assertion of Sutekh as "father and mother and other of them all", ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Legend of Ruby Sunday (TV story)}}) [[Maestro]]'s father was none other than [[the Toymaker]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Devil's Chord (TV story)}}) A previous account had depicted another relative of the Toymaker's, his sister [[Hecuba]], as having a similar ''modus operandi'' to him, but with a different theme — in her case, [[time]] and [[clock]]s.

Whilst confronting [[the Beast of Krop Tor]] in [[43K2.1]], the [[Tenth Doctor]] told him that he had seen "fake gods and bad gods and [[demigod]]s and would-be gods" but "out of that whole [[Pantheon (concept)|pantheon]]", he [[belief|believed]] in [[Rose Tyler]]. The Beast himself claimed to be the [[devil]] of all [[religion]]s ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Satan Pit (TV story)}}) and enemy of [[God (mythology)|God]], his names including Abaddon, [[Satan]] and [[Lucifer]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Impossible Planet (TV story)}}) The [[Fourth Doctor]] acknowledged Satan, along with [[Set]] and [[Sodos]], as being among the names for [[Sutekh]], who he claimed was "[[abominated]] in every civilised world". ([[TV]]: {{cs|Pyramids of Mars (TV story)}}) [[Abaddon]], introduced by [[Bilis Manger]] as the [[son]] of "the Great Beast", surfaced in [[Cardiff]] before being destroyed by [[Captain Jack Harkness]] in the [[2000s]].

As "one of the Pantheon of Discord", [[the Trickster]] was described by the [[Tenth Doctor]] as "a creature from beyond the universe, forever trying to break into [[the Doctor's universe|our reality]]". ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith (TV story)}}) The [[Fifteenth Doctor]] similarly described the Pantheon as "vast powers beyond [[the universe]]" ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Devil's Chord (TV story)}}) and recognised [[the Scream Sommelier]] as one of the entites from "Out there. Beyond the universe. Where the rules are different". ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Everyone Must Go! (comic story)|part=3}}) [[Amy Pond]] referred to [[Krampus]] as having come from some "dirty little corner of existence" when he crossed over into [[Leadworth]]; Krampus himself had previously referred to the [[Walls of reality|walls]] between the respective "worlds" of himself and [[Veronica Stackmore]], which had proven easier to pierce thanks to [[Crack in time|the crack]] which had formed nearby.
