Gothaparduskerialldrapolatkh (or Goth for short) was a Time Lord politician and occasional agent of the Celestial Intervention Agency, who, as Lord Chancellor, made into a pawn of the Master.

Profile
Goth had a brother named Rath. (NA: Blood Harvest) On behest of the CIA, Goth masqueraded as a fictional character Lemuel Gulliver in the Land of Fiction, in order to monitor the Doctor. Shortly afterwards, on Gallifrey, Goth with two other Time Lords, would preside over the trial of the Doctor, which would decide the latter's exile on Earth. (DWA: Future Imperfect) Goth was only a Councillor at the time. (DWM: The Legacy of Gallifrey)

He travelled to the planet Tersurus and found the dying Master there. Under the hypnotic control of the Master, he assassinated the Lord President with a staser rifle. Inside the Matrix, he fought and the Doctor, who the Master had lured to Gallifrey to prevent the President's assasination. Repentant of the actions he had done under the Master's mind control, Goth died after battling the Doctor. He failed to disclose much useful information to the Doctor, who by this time, had left the Matrix. (DW: The Deadly Assassin)

Behind the Scenes
Actor Bernard Horsfall had played both Lemuel Gulliver in The Mind Robber and an un-named Time Lord who presided over the Second Doctor's trial in The War Games. Marc Platt decided to explain this as Goth in all instances in Future Imperfect.

Goth's full name was given in ST: War Crimes.
