The
Doctor Who and the Time War
Davies for the Doctor Who Magazine before the 50th Anniversary, the short story set before 'Rose' depicts a different account of the Time War's outcome, with the Eighth Doctor using the Moment to destroy the Time Lords and Daleks alike and end the Last Great Time War once and for all.
In this context, the President formulated 'the Final Sanction' which would destroy all creation and elevate the Time Lords into beings of pure consciousness. When the War Doctor learned of this plan, he stole 'the Moment', and used it to destroy Gallifrey and the Daleks to end the Time War.
As mentioned early, the Time Lords were involved in the Last Great Time War. This was a massive temporal war between them and the Daleks, which only came to an end when the Doctor was forced to destroy both sides.
We may never know for certain, but whatever its genesis, the outcome of this epic conflict was horrifying and only two Time Lords survived - the Doctor and the Master.
A regenerative 'cycle' consists of twelve regenerations, after which Time Lords are unable to regenerate. This means that the thirteenth incarnation of any Time Lord should be their last.
Time Lords are extremely long-lived, routinely counting their ages in terms of centuries; the Second Doctor claimed in The War Games that Time Lords could live "practically forever, barring accidents." The series has suggested that Time Lords have a different concept of ageing from humans.
Rassilon and Omega were still, as far as we know, the founding fathers of Time Lord civilisation (along with Tecteun, we can now presume) who discovered the ability to time-travel by converting a star into a black hole, as explained in The Three Doctors – and there's nothing that says Rassilon didn't later become the ...
The Thirteenth Doctor returns to Gallifrey at the end of the events of "Spyfall" to find everything on it destroyed and a recording of the Master revealing that he orchestrated the planet's destruction.
He is the last of the Time Lords not necessarily in the chronological sense of being the final Time Lord in a long line of them, but in the sense of being the only remaining Time Lord out of a previously large number of them.
The Master claims he burned Gallifrey as revenge for some dark secret the Time Lords were hiding. "They lied to us," The Master says. "The founding fathers of Gallifrey... everything we were told was a lie.
When Davros accused Caan of betraying the Daleks, Caan replied that rather, he had witnessed the evil of his kind throughout all of time and space, and how many innocent lives were massacred by his race.
By the end of the story, armies of both factions have been wiped out and the Doctor has tricked them into destroying Skaro. However, Davros escapes and based on the fact that Daleks possess time travel and were spread throughout the universe, there was still a possibility that many had survived these events.
It is generally believed that while all Time Lords are Gallifreyan, not all Gallifreyans are Time Lords.
It appeared that the Master's evil scheme had finally wiped out the Time Lord race, in their original form at least. However, the most revered and powerful Time Lord, Rassilon, may still be at large.
All time lords are gallifreyan, but not all gallifreyans are time lords. Gallifreyans are just those in the major cities that act as kind of the ruling class. Theres people outside those cities that, while still gallifreyan, do not regenerate or timetravel. Those people are just gallifreyan.
The Weeping Angels being disgraced Time Lords creates a classic Doctor Who time travel paradox - the Time Lord punishment was inspired by the Weeping Angels, but the Weeping Angels were created by the Time Lords' punishment.
Theta Sigma (ΘΣ) is given as the Doctor's name in TV: The Armageddon Factor. This is retconned to be the Doctor's "nickname at college" in TV: The Happiness Patrol. The names ∂³Σx² and ΘΣ both contain the Greek letter sigma (Σ).
As an effect of time travel, only the Eleventh Doctor will remember saving Gallifrey; he learns from a cryptic curator (played by Tom Baker) that his plan worked.
In "The Timeless Children", it is revealed that the Doctor is the Timeless Child, a being who predated the Time Lords and who can regenerate an unknown amount of times.
In Doctor Who, Time Lords are canonically genderfluid, in that their genders can change between incarnations. Time Lords transform their bodies in order to prevent death, giving them a new personality each time they undergo this process.
Like other members of their race, the Doctor has two hearts (binary vascular system), a "respiratory bypass system" that allows the Doctor to go without air, an internal body temperature of 15–16 °C (60 °F) and occasionally exhibits a super-human level of stamina and the ability to absorb, withstand and expel large ...
The colonists there speak of evolution "with each regeneration, with each new child born on Kreb." It seems to confirm the Time Lords do indeed reproduce biologically - and, therefore, that there really are Time Lord children.
Gallifreyans and Time Lords were outwardly indistinguishable from humans and many other humanoid species; however, there were a variety of biological differences in their physiology that set them apart. Their forms also possessed multi-dimensional aspects.
Aside from that, they obviously were capable of destroying the entire universe except themselves deliberately, the ability to manage a scar tissue in the fabric of the universe, manipulated dimensions, etc. So yes, the Time Lords will hold the crown as the most powerful race in the universe.
