Name: Rassilon
Gender: Male
Age: Eons
History: During the Last Great Time War, Rassilon was again the Lord President of the Time Lords after replacing President Romana. Now incredibly ruthless and determined to avoid death, he intended to spare Gallifrey from destruction on the last day of the Last Great Time War by using the Final Sanction to turn the Time Lords into beings of pure consciousness, but at the cost of the rest of creation. His plan was defeated by the Doctor, who destroyed Gallifrey by using the Moment. Before the Doctor destroyed Gallifrey, however, Rassilon attempted to break Gallifrey out of the time-lock that blocked the Last Great Time War from temporal manipulation, but was defeated by the Tenth Doctor and was badly hurt by a last attack from a vengeful Master. Rassilon, the Time Lords, and Gallifrey, were all sent directly back to the Time War, and possibly the Master as well.
Personality: At first Rassilon was a man who hated corruption and was good at detecting it. He was intimidating and unforgiving but was considered a hero by many Time Lords and Ladies. Indeed he may have even created the Time Lords in the first place and therefore could be a considered a deity among the Time Lords. Rassilon was shown to be a charismatic leader who was capable of inspiring his people. However he was also a hypocrite, becoming corrupted by power and his fear of death despite his hatred of corruption.
After the death of Omega, Rassilon wept for him. The Other mused that Rassilon's actions were born out of love; albeit short-sighted love.
Rassilon was ruthless, powerhungry and also appeared to be a madman due to his willingness to destroy the whole of creation. He dreamed of becoming a being of consciousness rather than a physical being. Rassilon was also frightened of death and was even willing to destroy the whole universe in order to survive. Rassilon had discovered how to become immortal without having to use regenerations to survive. However he believed that the secret was too dangerous to share.
Rassilon was also manipulative using the Master as a link between Gallifrey and the rest of the Universe which allowed him to temporarily free Gallifrey from the Time Lock. He also attempted to manipulate the Doctor into destroying the Divergence. Just before his return to the Time War he taunted the Doctor, saying that the final act of his life would be murder, after a failed attempt at trying to manipulate the Doctor into an alliance with him, and into killing the Master.
Abilities: The Hand of Omega allows him to accomplish many feats, from dissintigrating beings to changing back the biology of the entire human race.
