Claudio Tardelli

 was an artist exiled from Panamore.

His work warped space and altered those who viewed it. The Eighth Doctor often destroyed his works after he managed to get him discredited by the Pope. (AUDIO: Grand Theft Cosmos)

The premise that Tardelli "deliberately made art that damaged the material universe" came to be viewed by conservative academics such as T. E. Hamster of Santa Diana University as a politically controversial statement, typical of the "Ice Hot movement" which they thought was fueled by "anti-human" sentiment. Hamster mentioned the outcry against Tardelli's works in an opinion piece for the Journal of Presentism and Transtemporal Mendacity entitled "Take Me Down To Paradise Towers": Reclaiming Kroagnon: Democratic accountability and the Defence of the Past, which mostly dealt with the legacy of Kroagnon. (PROSE: Reclaiming Kroagnon)

He was summoned by the Headhunter after she obtained the black diamond, which contained a pocket universe, he was hiding inside and ruling over. The Headhunter offered him a job as the court artist of Emperor Vassilar-G of Ralta. (AUDIO: Grand Theft Cosmos)
