High Chancellor

Lord or Lady Chancellor (Chancellor for short) was an office of the High Council of Time Lords. The Chancellor was next in rank to the Vice President, and so third in the overall hierarchy. As there often was no Vice President, the Chancellor would rank directly below the Lord President.

The Chancellor was entrusted with holding the Great Key or Key of Rassilon. It appears that the Chancellor has authority over the Castellan and therefore the Chancellery Guard. The Chancellor also appears to have had overall control of the Time Lord Academy. The apppointment of the Chancellor was in the hands of the President. (BFG: ''Pandora) However, President Romana allowed the High Council to appoint Valyes acting Chancellor after Braxiatel was removed from office. (BFG: Insurgency)''

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

By the time of the Ancestor Cell, there appeared to be four Chancellors: the Chancellor of Time Past, the Chancellor of Time Present, the Chancellor of Time Parallel and the Chancellor of Time Future. (EDA: The Ancestor Cell)
