Timelords - Technically advanced society from the Planet Gallifrey in the constellation Casterborus on the British sci-fi series DOCTOR WHO/BBC/1963-89. Humanoid in appearance, the Timelords have for centuries monitored the time and space continuum observing the comings and goings of countless civilizations. Their domed cities are governed by the Cardinals (Capitol City is the most prominent). The Timelord's physiology enables them to have two hearts, two pulses, maintain a body temperature of 60 degrees, and be able to regenerate themselves through twelve lifetimes. Their main source of power is the Eye of Harmony, a black stone that gives them the control over time and space travel. While their main mission in life is to gather knowledge, they do so without interfering in the lives of other species. Their established policy of non-intervention was disobeyed by the eccentric genius, Timelord Doctor Who, who would rather interact with time than just watch it. Stealing a time machine called a TARDIS, the Doctor hurtled through the corridors of time on fantastic adventures. The Master (Roger Delgado) an evil maverick Timelord despairingly remarked of his race "Know everything, do nothing." TRIVIA NOTE: A similar race of beings known as "The Watchers" appeared in the Marvel comic book series The Fantastic Four.
