Wynter (Lies)

Wynter was appointed Castellan to replace Andred, who had vanished for some time before revealing he had been posing as another Time Lord. It's not known if another figure acted as Castellan in the interim period. Wynter was a surprising choice to many, as he had little experience to qualify him for such a key role. He also proved politically naive, and was open to suggestions from the likes of Inquisitor Darkel. One of Wynter's first tasks was to investigate the mystery of a Time Lord - mutilated beyond recognition, but refusing to regenerate - who had materialised in the presence of President Romana and Leela. The TARDIS he had used was still held on Gallifrey, so all that was known was that he was from some point in the future, but his horrific injuries made communication impossible.

A second responsability came when his predecessor, Andred, captured a Free Time spy attempting to poison the city's water supply. While observing the mystery Time Lord in a quarentine unit, Wynter heard a voice calling him and entered. The voice belonged to Pandora, and she was able to infiltrate his mind and tell him that he would be her instrument for taking over Gallifrey. Driven insane by this prospect, Wynter drank what he thought was the poison, but was in fact a Free Time virus that would turn regenerating Time Lords into mindless zombies dedicated to the Free Time cause. Horrified, Wynter then mutilated himself to prevent his body being of any use to Pandora - shooting himself with K-9's gun, crushing his hands in the quarentine door and biting off his own tongue. Without hope, and perhaps realising his destiny, Wynter escaped to a TARDIS and traveled a short distance back through time to warn Romana of the waiting disaster. The disfigured being he would become then died without regenerating. In the immediate aftermath, Wynter was replaced first by Leela (on Braxiatel's orders) and then, once again, by the rehabilitated Andred (on Darkel's suggestion). (BFG: Pandora)
