his race controlled the secrets of the fifth dimension-Time. Known as a Time
Lord, the Doctor roamed through the centuries as sort of an intergalactic
advisor & troubleshooter. However, his actions were not condoned by his fellow
Time Lords. It had been their established policy not to interfere in the events
of any civilization, but merely to observe them. Bored with the laws of
non-intervention, the Doctor illegally commandeered a time travel unit known as
a TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimension in Space) and set out to explore and
interact with the myriad mazes of the universe. When his fans first met him, Dr.
Who was 745 years old. His favorite snack food is Jelly Babies.
