Theory:Timeline - The War King

This page lists appearances of The War King the order in which he experienced them. It relies on much speculation to fit semi-contradictory sources together, and should absolutely not be seen as representative of this wiki's general policy.

 * Under the guise of "Yardley James", he travels with Judy Collins for a time, before leaving her behind to inform his people about a great threat.

The Magistrate

 * "A renegade" returns to the Homeworld with warnings of War and becomes an assistant to Lord President Umbaste. (PROSE: The Book of the War)

The War King of the Homeworld

The Post-War Universe

 * The "man with the rosette" becomes one of the four surviving elementals, (PROSE: The Gallifrey Chronicles) and ultimately dies during the Emperor's rule. (PROSE: Father Time) One of the four surviving elementals bears a striking resemblance to the Roger Delgado incarnation of the Master. (COMIC: Miranda)
