High Chancellor

High Chancellor, often called Chancellor, was an office of the High Council of Time Lords.

Narvin regarded the chancellorship as being "the worst job on Gallifrey." (AUDIO: Forever)

Duty
The Chancellor was ranked third in the governmental hierarchy, below the President and Vice President. (TV: The Invasion of Time, PROSE: The Ancestor Cell) They were ordinarily appointed by the President, (AUDIO: Pandora) although in the absence of a President, the High Council could ratify the appointment of Chancellors, as they did to Borusa during the sede vacante of the Fourth Doctor as a President-elect. (TV: The Invasion of Time) In another occurrence, President Romana II allowed the Council to appoint Valyes acting Chancellor after Braxiatel was removed from office. (AUDIO: Insurgency)

The Chancellor was secretly entrusted with holding the Great Key of Rassilon. (TV: The Invasion of Time)

By the time of the run-up to the War in Heaven, there were four different Chancellors: the Chancellor of Time Past, the Chancellor of Time Present, the Chancellor of Time Future, and the Chancellor of Time Parallel. (PROSE: The Ancestor Cell)
