Threshold

The Threshold were an organisation created by the "partnership" of Abraham White and the Pariah, a living weapon of great power created on Gallifrey.

History
The Threshold began their careers as profiteers and used their transport window capabilities to carry out important missions from their clients.

The Threshold eventually came under a contract to the Lobri, a race of spider-like parasitic entities who were trapped on a plane of reality that held together the link between human minds. The Threshold supplied the Lobri with the resources required to instigate a breakout, a large gathering of humans at the Notting Hill Carnival, and later supplied them with three of the Doctor's previous companions, Peri, Ace and Sarah Jane Smith. The Lobri fed off the emotions of the Humans and it allowed them to gain enough power to escape the dimension. (DWM: Ground Zero)

The Threshold were later hired by the Time Lords to stop a Dalek plan to open a doorway into an alternate universe to destroy a group of alternate Daleks that had crossed over into the main univserse, this would then leave the Daleks free to conquer the Multiverse. The Threshold were stopped by the Doctor who also stole the Threshold's payment from the Time Lords; a black box containing the Seal of Rassilon which would allow the Threshold to be able to communicate with any species in the universe.
