Theory:Timeline - The Monk

This page lists appearances of Mortimus in the order in which he experienced them. This timeline is based on observations of the Doctor Who universe and the events in each of these stories. From these observations we have attempted to build a concise timeline. It is assumed, much like their TV story counterparts, that each novel or audio series their published/numbered order is the order they occur in[statement unclear]. Due to the fact that he has no respect for the Laws of Time the Monk does not meet the Doctor in the correct order. In arcs involving the Monk, he often fails to appear in certain stories, while being involved "behind the scenes." In these cases, the stories are listed in sequence.
