Custodian (The Krotons)

The Custodian was the title of an unnamed Gond. He was charged with the maintenance of the Learning Hall — an area of the Gond settlement used to administer tests to the Gond. If the tests proved the taker was particularly intelligent, he or she was labelled a "high mind" and allowed to serve the Krotons directly.

Following the arrival of the Second Doctor, Jamie and Zoe, doubt was cast on the relationship between the Krotons and the Gonds. Thara, a Gond convinced of the malevolence of the Krotons, led a party of other doubters into the Learning Hall and briefly captured the Custodian. They demanded he tell them of other ways into the Krotons' chamber. The frightened Custodian told them there was no way in but through selection as a "high mind". Thara and his party then released the Custodian. (DW: The Krotons)
