Elliot Payne

Payne  was a scientist from the 3890s. He and his wife Shania studied creatures, Time Eaters, carving out their existence on the event horizon's edge of a black star, when a gravity spike caused her to be pulled in, alive but frozen in a moment of time on the horizon's edge. He conducted experiments with time to bring her back, making an arrangement with the Time Eaters. (AUDIO: Chronoclasm)

Some side effects included Leela not being able to return to Gallifrey, a Temparon vessel and the Sixth Doctor’s TARDIS being dragged to 1890s Earth, and time breaks allowing objects and beings from other times to be brought to the 1890s. He wanted to destroy the world. (AUDIO: Swan Song) He employed Nikola Tesla to help with his work, amused that a brilliant scientific mind was reduced to a child when confronted with advanced technology. He wanted to store energy from time gradients on the advice of the Time Eaters, cheating them by not giving them half the energy he agreed to. (AUDIO: Chronoclasm)
