The Doctor's looming to the House of Lungbarrow was contaminated by the ancient biodata of the Other, (PROSE: Lungbarrow [+]Marc Platt, adapted from Lungbarrow, Virgin New Adventures (Virgin Books, 1997).) making him a part of the "broken generation". (PROSE: Crimes Against History [+]Lawrence Miles, The Spiral Politic Database (2001-2002)., The Book of the War [+]Lawrence Miles, et al., Faction Paradox novels (Mad Norwegian Press, 2002).)
A "broken generation" of members of the Great Houses, considered the original Renegades by later history, was created on the Homeworld by impurities in the breeding-engines over a thousand years before the War in Heaven.
History[]
Manifesting around 1152 years before the War in Heaven, (PROSE: "The Timeline" [+]Part of The Book of the War, Lawrence Miles, et al., Faction Paradox novels (Mad Norwegian Press, 2002).) the mutations particularly affected House Lungbarrow and House Dvora. Their causes remained "vague" but could be attributed to "impurities in the looming system", (PROSE: Crimes Against History [+]Lawrence Miles, The Spiral Politic Database (2001-2002).) namely the errant biodata of the Other. Glospin of House Lungbarrow believed that the Other's contagion had driven his entire Family "mad", and that the Doctor himself was the full reincarnation of the Other. (PROSE: Lungbarrow [+]Marc Platt, adapted from Lungbarrow, Virgin New Adventures (Virgin Books, 1997).) Also born of this broken generation to House Lungbarrow was Grandfather Paradox, (PROSE: Crimes Against History [+]Lawrence Miles, The Spiral Politic Database (2001-2002).) also known as the "voodoo priest" of House Lungbarrow. (PROSE: Christmas on a Rational Planet [+]Lawrence Miles, Virgin New Adventures (Virgin Books, 1996).) After admitting that he was not actually an ancient Mapper to Roland, Auteur briefly entertained the thought that he was "l'Autre" then corrected that he was simply "a bit of him". (PROSE: The Cactus and the Corpse [+]Aristide Twain, Horrors of Arcbeatle (Auteur, Arcbeatle Press, 2023).)
However, the phenomenon also affected other Houses, particularly House Dvora, producing the Imperator and the War King. (PROSE: Crimes Against History [+]Lawrence Miles, The Spiral Politic Database (2001-2002)., "The Imperator" [+]Part of The Book of the War, Lawrence Miles, et al., Faction Paradox novels (Mad Norwegian Press, 2002).) They were considered by later generations to be the original renegades. (PROSE: Crimes Against History [+]Lawrence Miles, The Spiral Politic Database (2001-2002).) Morbius, whose life story (TV: The Brain of Morbius [+]Robin Bland, Doctor Who season 13 (BBC1, 1976).) matched The Book of the War's account of the Imperator, (PROSE: "The Imperator Presidency" [+]Part of The Book of the War, Lawrence Miles, et al., Faction Paradox novels (Mad Norwegian Press, 2002).) was sometimes known as "the First Renegade". (PROSE: Still Need a Title! [+]James Goss and Steve Tribe, The Doctor: His Lives and Times (2013).)
The Rani, the Master and the Doctor (TV: The Mark of the Rani [+]Pip & Jane Baker, Doctor Who season 22 (BBC1, 1985).) had all been members of the Deca. (PROSE: Divided Loyalties [+]Gary Russell, BBC Past Doctor Adventures (BBC Books, 1999).)
The Master, the Rani, the Monk and Drax, all of whom became Renegades in their later lives, were the same age as the Doctor and attended the Academy with them. By one account, they were a part of a group of ten like-minded Time Lords who called themselves the Deca, (PROSE: The Quantum Archangel [+]Craig Hinton, BBC Past Doctor Adventures (BBC Books, 2001).) which also included Vansell, Rallon, Jelpax, Millennia, and Magnus. (PROSE: Divided Loyalties [+]Gary Russell, BBC Past Doctor Adventures (BBC Books, 1999).)
