High Chancellor

Lord or Lady Chancellor (Chancellor for short) was an office of the High Council of Time Lords. The Chancellor was next in rank to the Vice President, and so third in the overall hierarchy. As there often was no Vice President then the Chancellor would rank directly below the President The Chancellor was entrusted with holding the Great Key or Key of Rassilon. It appears that the Chancellor has authority over the Castellan and therefore the Chancellery Guard The Chancellor also appears to have had overall control of the Time Lord Academy. The apppointment of the Chancellor was in the gift of the President, (BFG Pandora) however President Romana allowed the High Council to appoint an acting Chancellor Valyes (BFG Insurgency) after the removal of Braxiatel from office.

By the time of The Ancestor Cell there appear to be four Chancellors, the Chancellor of Time Past, the Chancellor of Time Present, the Chancellor of Time Parallel and the Chancellor of Time Future.
