Ministers of Grace

The Ministers of Grace were a time-active faction originating from the end of the universe. They separated the Thought Core from the Godhead, destroying the latter and scattering the former across time. (PROSE: The Duke of Dominoes)

Along with Faction Paradox and the Pageant, the Ministers of Grace went back in time to help the effort against the Mad Mind of Bophemeral in the Millennium War. (PROSE: The Quantum Archangel)

When he was visited by Quences' ghost, the Seventh Doctor swore, "Angels and ministers of grace defend us." (PROSE: Lungbarrow)

Behind the scenes

 * "Angels and ministers of grace defend us!" is how Hamlet greets his father's ghost in the Shakespeare play Hamlet.
 * In the notes of Lungbarrow, Marc Platt explains that he planned to include the Ministers of Grace in an unproduced Dalek story.
