War Lord


 * For other meanings, see War Lord (disambiguation).

The War Lords were a Near-Human race of conquerors.

Biology
War Lords looked identical to Humans and could easily pass themselves off as Humans. (NA: Timewyrm: Exodus)

Technology
The War Lords used special eyeglasses to induce mind control in the field. In their base, they had technology to re-condition and re-process the minds of Human soldiers and machines to tell visually whether or not the processing had taken (DW: The War Games).

When invading Germany, the War Lords used their technology to control SS soldiers, going so far as to control after their deaths. They set up a transmat booth to transport people from Berlin to the Castle of Drachensburg. The War Lords also set up several Atomic bombs underneath the castle in order to help the Nazi war effort. They also had a crystal ball that was used as a telepathic receiver to contact the Doctor and a powerful laser weapon inserted into a cane. (NA: Timewyrm: Exodus)

The War Chief also gave them time scanning technology and SIDRATs. (NA: Timewyrm: Exodus)

History
The War Lord's first attempt to build an army was taking Human soldiers from different points in Earth's history and forcing them to fight together. The survivors would then be used to conquer the universe. This attempt was stopped by the Doctor and his allies and by the Time Lords. (DW: The War Games)

After this failure, the War Lords tried to kill the War Chief, though he was just barely able to survive. After a failed regeneration, he was kept as a scientific oddity. Eventually, he was able to convince the War Lords that he hadn't betrayed them and that the Doctor must be destroyed in order to suceed. The War Chief believed that the best way to attract the Doctor was to cause a massive change in the timeline. The War Lord came to Nazi Germany in order to create a new empire, using the Timewyrm-possessed Adolf Hitler to control the German people. They were eventually stopped when Herman Goering believed they were against Hitler and sent in the army to stop them. Their base was also destroyed when their nuclear weapons were destroyed by the Doctor. (NA: Timewyrm: Exodus)
