Eye of Harmony
[Source explicitly describing the Doctor's Eye as the Gallifreyan Eye's namesake as noted on Talk:Time Vortex goes here] This piece of Time Lord engineering was also an exploding star in the act of becoming a black hole. The Eleventh Doctor explained that "[y]ou rip the star from its orbit [and] suspend it in a permanent state of decay". (TV: Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS)

The Eye of Harmony was described by both the Eighth (TV: Doctor Who) and Eleventh Doctor (TV: Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS) as the TARDIS' power source. The Eighth Doctor said it was "[t]he power source of the heart of the TARDIS". (TV: Doctor Who)

 * Jabe: Identify species. Please identify species. Now, stop it. Identify his race. Where's he from? That's impossible.


 * Jabe: And what about your ancestry, Doctor? Perhaps you could tell a story or two. Perhaps a man only enjoys trouble when there's nothing else left. I scanned you earlier. The metal machine had trouble identifying your species. It refused to admit your existence, and even when it named you I wouldn't believe it, but it was right. I know where you're from. Forgive me for intruding, but it's remarkable that you even exist. I just want to say how sorry I am.


 * Ninth Doctor: Jabe, you're made of wood.
 * Jabe: Then stop wasting time, Time Lord.

TV: Journey's End


 * Rose: Is anyone gonna tell us what's going on?
 * Donna: He poured all his regeneration energy into his spare hand, I grew out of that, but that fed back into me, but, it just stayed dormant in my head till the synapses got that little extra spark, kicking them into life. Thank you, Davros. Part human, part Time Lord. And I got the best bit of the Doctor. I got his mind.

According to several accounts, the Time Lords were an ancient race or species (TV: The War Games, School Reunion, Smith and Jones, Human Nature, Utopia, The Sound of Drums, Journey's End, Planet of the Dead, A Good Man Goes to War) from the planet Gallifrey, (TV: The Time Warrior, The Runaway Bride, The Sound of Drums, Voyage of the Damned, The Day of the Doctor) although other accounts described "Time Lord" as a rank that someone attained after going through the Time Lord Academy on Gallifrey. (COMIC: The Stolen TARDIS, TV: Listen)

Race or rank?
Numerous accounts described the Time Lords as either being a race or a species. According to the Second Doctor, the Time Lords were "an immensely civilised race". (TV: The War Games) When Martha Jones asked "[w]hat sort of species" the Tenth Doctor was, the Doctor answered, "I'm a Time Lord." (TV: Smith and Jones) Similarly, when asked the Tenth Doctor, "what species are you?" he responded with, "Time Lord." (TV: Utopia) The Tenth Doctor said the Time Lords were "the oldest and most mighty race in the universe". (TV: The Sound of Drums) The Tenth Doctor also mentioned to Lady Christina de Souza that he came from "a race of people called Time Lords". (TV: Planet of the Dead) Brother Lassar thought of the Time Lords as "such a pompous race". (TV: School Reunion) Tim Latimer heard a voice from a fob watch he was holding describe the Doctor as "[the] Last of the Time Lords, [and] the last of that wise and ancient race". (TV: Human Nature)

On top of this, several accounts referred to Time Lord biology and DNA. Donna Noble said that Davros giving Donna's synapses "that little extra spark, kicking them into life" by waking up the dormant regeneration energy in her head had made her "[p]art human, part Time Lord." (TV: Journey's End) Madame Vastra said that Melody Pond's human DNA was in fact "[h]uman plus, [and] specifically, human plus Time Lord." (TV: A Good Man Goes to War)

However, some accounts claimed that Time Lord was a rank people from Gallifrey could attain after passing through the Academy. The Fourth Doctor once claimed "not everyone on Gallifrey [was] a Time Lord--some [didn't] want to be--and those who [did] must go through the Academy". (COMIC: The Stolen TARDIS) When a woman once told a man that the First Doctor didn't wish to join the army, the man replied, "Well, he's not going to the Academy, is he, that boy? He'll never make a Time Lord." (TV: Listen)

Gallifreyans (unsorted information, probably doesn't fit the lead)
According to the Gallifreyan Lord Griffen, the Gallifreyans would become "Lords of Time" once the collapse of the star Qqaba into a black hole caused energy to be released that the Gallifreyans could control time with. Fenris claimed that this point in time was when the Time Lords came into existence. (COMIC: Star Death)

Orson Pink
According to the Twelfth Doctor, even though they had the same surname, Orson "[did]n't look anything like" Danny Pink, Clara Oswald's boyfriend from her own time. Clara claimed that he looked "very like him". The Doctor responded, "Does he? I dunno. Who remembers a PE teacher?" (TV: The Caretaker)

The Master
...was a renegade Time Lord and "one the oldest and deadliest" of the Doctor's "enemies". (TV: Survival)

, "an evil genius" by the Seventh Doctor, (TV: Survival)

Time Lords familiar with the term "TARDIS"
Although some Time Lords, like Castellan Spandrell (TV: The Deadly Assassin) and Romana I, (TV: The Pirate Planet) utilised the more generic name "TT capsule", others, like Fabian, (TV: The Name of the Doctor) were perfectly familiar with Susan's supposed acronym.

Daleks
The Daleks were a race (TV: Dalek, Gridlock) of mutants from the planet Skaro. (TV: The Daleks, Doctor Who, Daleks in Manhattan, Asylum of the Daleks, The Day of the Doctor) They were usually encased inside armour consisting of polycarbide (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks, Doomsday) and Dalekanium. (TV: Evolution of the Daleks, Into the Dalek)

Signet ring overview
A signet ring was a ring with the mark of an emblem or symbol on one end.

The Doctor kept a signet ring, which he frequently wore in his first incarnation. (TV: An Unearthly Child, et al)

Erimem wore a signet ring with the symbol of Sekhmet. (AUDIO: The Bride of Peladon)

The Master had a green signet ring with Gallifreyan writing which was used by the Disciples of Saxon to revive him after his death. (TV: The End of Time)

Lord Barset
Lord Barset was a hereditary title on Earth. It was given to at least two human explorers involved in Antarctic expeditions in the 20th and 21st century; they were respectively a grandfather and his grandson.

The grandfather
Lord Barset unearthed a city of intelligent "lizard men" with superior technology beneath the Antarctic ice. He wrote about this in his diary. All but one of the expedition died in the encounter, the expedition's ship, the Rochester, having been lost. This crewmember was discovered holding Lord Barset's diary; he was seemingly driven insane and died just a few days afterwards. (AUDIO: Frozen Time)

The grandson
The diary of Lord Barset was secretly passed down to his grandson, another Lord Barset. Lord Barset was granted a licence to go on an Antarctic expedition to both find the remains of his grandfather's expedition the lizard men's city.

Lord Barset arrived in Antarctica in the Fortitude. When his people failed to make radio contact after six days, he and several others from the Fortitude arrived to the dig site with arms. There, instead of the city his grandfather found, he discovered the remains of an Ice Warrior maximum security prison, where the Seventh Doctor was thawed.

In a "quest for knowledge", he had the Ice Warrior war criminals, led by Lord Arakssor, thawed. Lord Barset and Captain Harman were trapped inside the prison, while the Doctor, Geni and Mac left in Aristo One. Barset and Harman tried to escape to the Fortitude, but Harman was killed by an Ice Warrior's sonic weapon, and Lord Barset was injured and presumed dead. Discovering the Doctor and Geni had returned, he worked with them to stop the Ice Warriors altering the structure Earth's greenhouse gases to cool down the planet and make it into Arakssor's "fortress".

As the process started, Lord Barset was knocked out by falling hail. The Doctor and Geni put him in a small chamber for him to recover. When he woke, he shot at Lord Arakssor, allowing the Doctor to boost the signal to get the attention of the warship of Red 0089. Arakssor then killed him. (AUDIO: Frozen Time)

Behind the scenes
The grandson Lord Barset was a vocal role voiced by Anthony Calf in Frozen Time. The grandfather, who died decades before Frozen Time's main setting, did not appear in a flashback and had no performer in the story.

Diana, Princess of Wales
Diana, Princess of Wales, née Lady Diana Spencer (PROSE: Prisoners of the Sun) and sometimes known as Lady Di, (PROSE: The Dying Days) was the wife of Prince Charles. (PROSE: Prisoners of the Sun) She married Charles in 1981. (PROSE: Graham Dilley Saves the World)

When Peter Tyler got his wedding vows to Jackie Prentice wrong, Jackie told the registrar to carry on with the vows, saying, "It's good enough for Lady Di." (TV: Father's Day)

Views on the Doctor
In the words of Madame Vastra, the Doctor was "kind", "a hero" and "the saviour of worlds". (TV: The Snowmen) Clara Oswald didn't know if he was a good man, but believed that he tried to be and thought "that's probably the point". (TV: Into the Dalek)

Others were less willing to describe the Doctor in such benign terms, including the Doctor himself; instead describing him as someone to fear or dread.

The Doctor was referred to in "the ancient legends of the Dalek homeworld" (TV: The Parting of the Ways) and by the Tenth Doctor (TV: The Day of the Doctor) as "the Oncoming Storm". The Tenth Doctor referred to himself as "the Bringer of Darkness". (TV: The Day of the Doctor) The Metaltron inside Henry van Statten's Vault declared the Doctor an "enemy" of the Daleks who "must be destroyed". (TV: Dalek) The Eleventh Doctor described himself as the Daleks' "enemy" and the Daleks as his and noted that they hated him and wanted to kill him. (TV: Victory of the Daleks) Both Rose Tyler (TV: Doomsday) and Oswin Oswald (TV: Asylum of the Daleks) noted that the Daleks feared the Doctor. In the words of the Great Intelligence, the Doctor was "the cruel tyrant", "the Slaughterer of the Ten Billion" and "blood soaked". (TV: The Name of the Doctor) Davros named the Doctor as "the Destroyer of Worlds". (TV: Journey's End) Both the Seventh (PROSE: Love and War, AUDIO: Love and War) and the Tenth Doctor (TV: The Girl in the Fireplace) proclaimed themselves to be what "monsters" had nightmares about. The Twelfth Doctor told Clara Oswald that he lived for over 2,000 years, "not all of them were good" and that he "made many mistakes". (TV: Deep Breath)

Victor Kennedy said he read up on the Doctor and how he was "so passionate" and "so sweet". The Tenth Doctor responded that he may have been these things, but warned Victor not to mistake these traits for "nice". (TV: Love & Monsters)

Humanian Era
The Humanian Era was a period of Earth history which encompassed at least 29-31 December 1999. (TV: Doctor Who)

CyberNomads
"CyberNomads" was the name of a group of nomadic Cybermen which were postulated by ArcHivist Hegelia to have travelled out into the galaxy prior to the massive loss of life of the Cybermen that stayed behind in the solar system on Planet 14.

After several failed attempts at taking over Earth following the destruction of Mondas, by 2191, the Cybermen were considered to have become extinct. Although most were hibernating in the Cyber-tombs on Telos, Hegelia thought there was another group — the cyberNomads. These were thought to have been the Cybermen which were active on Agora in 2191.

Hegelia hypothesised that another group of cyberNomads reopened the Cyber-tombs on Telos, which helped create a new race — the Neomorphs. (PROSE: Killing Ground)

Neomorphs
According to ArchHivist Hegelia, the Neomorphs were a "new race" of Cybermen which the cyberNomads helped create when they reopened the Cyber-tombs on Telos. They were the Cybermen which proliferated during the 26th century. (PROSE: Killing Ground)
