Long ago, in the constellation of Kasterborous, there was an inauspicious planet known by the name of Gallifrey. The planet and its inhabitants were ruled with an iron fist by the matriarchical Cult of the Pythia. The Pythia was a psychic being from whom nothing could be hidden. Well, almost nothing. Three Gallifreyans -- Rassilon, Omega, and a mysterious third whose name has been lost to time but is known by history as The Other -- led a revolution against the Cult of the Pythia, killing their leader and banishing the cultors to the neighboring planet of Karn.
The Pythia, however, did not die quietly. In her final moments, she cursed the three who had ended her reign. But the triumvirate had little time to concern itself with magic.
The three became the rulers of Gallifrey, pushing advancement in the fields of science and technology. Rassilon, being the more charismatic of the three, naturally became the true leader, with the other two serving in more advisory roles.
Under Rassilon's leadership, the Gallifreyan developed the technologies that made them into the Time Lords, though not without a price. In the process of developing the technology required for Time Travel, Omega was lost. The first member of the triumvirate had been struck down by the Pythia's curse.
With Omega gone, the Other feared betrayal by Rassilon, who had begun to go mad with power. He fled Gallifrey using an early time capsule. This flight, however, went horrifically wrong. Halfway through the journey, his capsule ruptured and the Other was lost in the time vortex.
Finally, Rassilon succumbed to megalomania and became one of the great tyrants of history. The populace revolted and sealed him in the Dark Tower in the Death Zone, where it is presumed he died. All three had succumbed to the Curse of the Pythia, and her cult on Karn went into hiding and is believed to have faded into nothing over the centuries.
Millennia later, a boy was born on the slopes of Mount Perdition. He was called Theta Sigma by his friends, and he was a perfectly normal young Time Lord, if a bit rebellious. Or so it seemed. At the age of 200, he and his granddaughter fled Gallifrey for reasons unknown, stealing an old time capsule with a knackered navigation system, and proceeded to have the greatest adventures anyone had ever had.
But Theta Sigma, who had begun to call himself the Doctor, had a dark secret. A secret which was unknown even to him. For the Other had bonded with the Time Vortex, and had begun to manipulate events very delicately in order to enable his escape.
The Doctor is currently on his twelfth incarnation. He travels in the TARDIS with several companions. The Master -- ejected from the timelock by forces unknown -- has a new face as well. And something is rumbling that will force the two -- bitterest of enemies -- to work together. The Other is returning, and time itself is in graver danger than it has ever been. In the face of this tragedy, enemies shall become friends, friends shall become enemies, and one Time Lord will have an awful lot of running to do.
