Rassilon (Deception)

After his ressurection, Rassilon was forced to regenerate during the Last Great Time War.

Biography
In his new incarnation, Rassilon was generally disinterested in ruling and tended to delegate to Livia and Mantus in the Capitol, the Eleventh General in the field and the War Ollistra on strategy. He became obsessed with the idea of the Time Lords ascending to higher dimensions. (AUDIO: Deception, Homecoming)

After Susan Foreman's successes with the Sensorites, the Orrovix, and with the capture of a Dalek agent, Rassilon became interested in her. On Susan's return to Gallifrey from 1963 Shoreditch, Rasmus informed Susan that Rassilon wished to meet with her. (AUDIO: The Shoreditch Intervention)

Rassilon made a proclamation against the growing resistance to his rule, declaring that like vermin they would be "exterminated". His rhetoric alarmed Livia and his continuing disinterest in ruling was beginning to unsettle Mantus. Livia even speculated that he had come back "wrong" in his resurrection, though Mantus believed this truly was the Rassilon of old. (AUDIO: Deception)

When the Dalek Emperor led a Dalek saucer over Gallifrey, bypassing Kasterborous' defences with Null Zone technology, Rassilon was infuriated, especially by them using former President Romana II as a spokesperson, and ordered the Fifth Battle Fleet to respond. After the Fifth Fleet's destruction, he ordered the General to recall forces for Gallifrey's defence and sent Livia and Mantus into battle in a pre-programmed Battle TARDIS. Whilst the Time Lord forces fought the Daleks he distracted the Emperor by talking to it, laughing at its delusions of godhood. After the saucer's destruction he ordered the Time Lords to drive the enemy out and had Romana and Leela's TARDIS diverted to the Cloisters. There he confronted them, having Romana imprisoned in a pocket dimension to serve as Gallifrey's archivist for all time and conscripting Leela to the war effort. After this incident, Rassilon declared he would be more personally involved in the Time War, beginning by adding a Visionary to the War Council, and proclaimed his hope for a "Final Sanction" with which the Time Lords could one day ascend, even at the cost of the Time Vortex.
