Quences

Quencessetianobayolocaturgrathadadeyyilungbarrowmas (Quences for short) was Ordinal-General of the Brotherhood of Kithricians and the 422nd Kithriarch of the House of Lungbarrow. Throughout his life the House of Lungbarrow would produce only servants and petty clerks.

Biography
Little is known of his past and childhood but it is known that he was Loomed into the House of Lungbarrow, probably before the new generation of cousins were loomed. This made him of the older generation. He was a very proud individual and was regarded by the rest of his family as stuffy, stuck-up, senile, and unhelpful. The First Doctor was Quences' favourite of the family. When he was Loomed, Quences took the Doctor's genetic template to the Matricians, who predicted that he would be the most influential Time Lord since Rassilon, Quences requested that the Doctor be educated at the Academy, with the option of becoming a Time Lord. This request was granted. Quences was said to have doted on him. Quences even gave the Doctor a Badger, an Avatroid from the Ava system when he was young, and was proud of how clever the Doctor was.

Even so, it was he who made the final decision to disown the Doctor. He was led into this decision by the Housekeeper Sattraltrope when the Doctor announced he would rather be a doctor than try to become the first of the family ever appointed Lord Cardinal. Quences later regretted this decision. When it came time for him to die for the last time (at more than seven thousand years old) he refused to read his will until all of the family, including the disowned Doctor, were present. He insisted on this because he intended to name the Doctor his successor as Kithriarch. Glospin, who had wanted to be named the next Kithriarch, and who had a personal grudge against the Doctor, murdered Quences, hoping to subvert Quences' will. This led to the House of Lungbarrow and its family being buried and forgotten. (NA: Lungbarrow)

Alternative timeline
In the life of an alternative version of the Doctor, Quences was his great grand uncle. He was Ordinal General, which he claimed was "traditional". In this reality, the Doctor was kept a prisoner in a forgotten part of the Capitol, with Badger as his keeper. Quences was dead, but had transferred his consciousness, not to the Matrix, but to Badger. The Doctor was kept as a recluse for centuries while his family grew up around him. Quences had believed that the Doctor was to become Lord President of the High Council (or Supreme Council) and that he was the key to the highest table and the corridors of power. However when Susan arrived to find him, it became clear that it was she, not the Doctor, who was going to be President. Susan recognised Quences for what he was, "Auld Mortality", an official whose function was to remind all Presidents that their power was fleeting and the only certainty was death. Susan banished him at her inauguration, and he was destroyed when Badger's positronic brain was destroyed by Captain Suras, one of the Doctor's fictional creations. (BFDWU: Auld Mortality)
