The Seventh

| Recurring Characters: |
Lord Grayvorn |
In Excelis Dawns, the Doctor encountered a warlord called Lord Grayvorn, and accompanied him on a quest to find a mysterious relic, which was supposedly the gateway to the afterlife. A thousand years later, in Excelis Rising, the Doctor again encountered Grayvorn, whose life had been prolonged by the relic, and defeated his plan to take the relic for himself. The Doctor believed Grayvorn to have been killed, but his mind survived, trapped in the stone of the Excelis Museum. |
|
The Mother Superior |
The Doctor encountered the Mother Superior of a convent in Excelis during Excelis Dawns. She fought Grayvorn for control of the relic. During Excelis Rising, the Doctor realised that she had been sharing Grayvorn's mind. His actions separated the two of them, and the Mother Superior's soul was absorbed into the relic. |
