Biography[]
Mister Saldaamir originated in the universe as it was before the invention of time travel and the Time Wars, which erased his home planet from time and wiped out his adopted home planet. This destroyed Saldaamir's memory, family, and companions and left him the last of his species. (PROSE: Mr Saldaamir [+]Lance Parkin, Faction Paradox (BBV Productions, 2021).)
Just as the Eighth Doctor did, (PROSE: The Adventuress of Henrietta Street [+]Lawrence Miles, BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures (BBC Books, 2001).) Mister Saldaamir rooted himself in the new post-Wars history by marrying a witch, whom he rarely saw after his wedding night. This allowed him to survive in the new universe, although he could not travel in time. Despite this, he knew enough about the future to put himself in the right place at the right time to protect the existence of the timeline. (PROSE: Mr Saldaamir [+]Lance Parkin, Faction Paradox (BBV Productions, 2021).)
Mister Saldaamir was an associate of Ulysses and Penelope Gate, the Doctor's parents. Together they investigated the temporal cicatrix in the Shoal, where they met Lady Larna, who was from their future. (PROSE: The Gallifrey Chronicles [+]Lance Parkin, BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures (BBC Books, 2005).) Mr Saldaamir and the Doctor's father were once interrupted when a young Doctor caught a cobblemouse. (PROSE: Unnatural History [+]Jonathan Blum and Kate Orman, BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures (BBC Books, 1999).) When the Doctor was young, Mr Saldaamir attended a party put on by the Doctor's family's household. (PROSE: The Infinity Doctors [+]Lance Parkin, BBC Books (1998).)
Mister Saldaamir feared Last Contact. Beginning in the late Cretaceous, he lived in San Francisco to study the temporal anomalies there. (PROSE: Mr Saldaamir [+]Lance Parkin, Faction Paradox (BBV Productions, 2021).) The Doctor's father, then known as "Daniel Joyce", also lived in San Francisco in the early 2000s. (PROSE: Unnatural History [+]Jonathan Blum and Kate Orman, BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures (BBC Books, 1999).)
Mr Saldaamir met Bernice Summerfield on Mars in 2595, where he informed her that he was going to San Francisco. Bernice had met him once before this, but she could not remember where. (PROSE: Beige Planet Mars [+]Lance Parkin and Mark Clapham, Virgin New Adventures (Virgin Books, 1998).)
The Eighth Doctor saw Mr Saldaamir smiling at him in a vision of his future. (PROSE: Father Time [+]Lance Parkin, BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures (BBC Books, 2001).)
