Zephon (The Daleks' Master Plan)
Representative Zephon or the Master of Zephon was the Master of the Fifth Galaxy in 4000.
Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
Zephon had gained the title after overthrowing the Embodiment of Gris in 3932. (AUDIO: Neverland [+]Loading...["Neverland (audio story)"]) As a member of the Galactic Council, he represented his home galaxy at the seventh Council meeting (replacing Sentreal). He allied himself with the Daleks in their plan to conquer the Solar System.
Zephon had persuaded Beaus and Celation to join as well. Although a powerful figure, some of his subjects, such as the Embodiment Gris and the planet Fisar, had contested his rule. Arrogant and self-important, he made the Council wait for his presence at the seventh meeting. This allowed SSS agent Bret Vyon to knock him unconscious and tie him up so that the First Doctor could impersonate him in the meeting.
The Doctor used the ruse to steal the Time Destructor's taranium core. Blamed by the Daleks for this setback, Zephon announced he was leaving the alliance with Celation and Beaus, but they remained loyal to the Daleks, who then exterminated him for his failure.

Legacy[[edit] | [edit source]]
Because of what happened to him, his son became an enemy of the Doctor. (AUDIO: The False Guardian [+]Loading...["The False Guardian (audio story)"])
Celation later informed Zephon's family about the events on Kembel. This caused the family to be hated among the people of Zephon and of the Syndicate who did not allow his son to join the newly made Syndicate, causing him to grow a hatred for the Doctor.

A necklace identical to that worn by Zephon over his robes was later worn by the War Chief, a Renegade Time Lord who formed an alliance with the War Lords. (TV: The War Games [+]Loading...["The War Games (TV story)"])
