Justine McManus Cousin Justine , formerly named Justine McManus ( AUDIO : " Movers " ) and later called Justine il - Isis , ( AUDIO : " The Judgment of Sutekh " ) was a member of Faction Paradox who gained prominence during the Sontaran invasion of the Eleven - Day Empire by inheriting the shadow of Grandfather Paradox . ( AUDIO : " The Shadow Play " ) She later became an ambassador to the Osirian Court and briefly sat on the War Council of the Great Houses . ( AUDIO : " Words from Nine Divinities " ) Biography . Early life . Much knowledge of Justine ' s early life is derived from the writings of Godfather Morlock and flashback hallucinations she had while imprisoned on the prison planet of the Great Houses . According to these sources , she was born Justine McManus . In 1899 , when she was sixteen years old , she first encountered the Faction in the form of Godfather s Morlock and Sabbath . The Godfathers were conducting Sabbath ' s initiation rite , in which Sabbath was to hunt down and kill his ancestors , alternating genders in reverse chronological order . Justine and her cousin , Emma James , caught Morlock ' s eye , and he bet Sabbath that if Sabbath failed in his hunt , Morlock would be allowed to induct one of the girls into the Faction . As Morlock was well aware , Sabbath ' s quarry — Emma ' s Aunt Fiora Venn — was already pregnant with Sabbath ' s grandfather ( whom Sabbath had already killed ) and was therefore off - limits . Sabbath was forced to settle for killing his great - grandmother ' s closest available relative : Emma . Although Emma had been Morlock ' s first choice of initiate , he recognised a determination in Justine that made him just as happy to accept her , and she agreed to join Faction Paradox ( AUDIO : " Movers " , " A Labyrinth of Histories " ) and renounce her human ity . ( PROSE : " Alien Bodies " ) She broke with Faction tradition by declining to change her name . ( AUDIO : " The Eleven Day Empire " ) Living on Dronid . When she was seventeen - years - old , she spent her apprenticeship as Little Sister ( PROSE : " The Book of the War " , " Alien Bodies " ) at the Mission on Dronid , where she worked under Sanjira . She lived in Smithmanstown and often wore a black velvet dress she brought from Earth . Sanjira instructed her to dematerialise The Relic , not realising its importance . ( PROSE : " Alien Bodies " ) Auction for the Relic . She was then returned to the Eleven - Day Empire as a protege of the Godfathers , ( PROSE : " The Book of the War " ) where she was initiated as Cousin and chose a sword as her shadow - weapon . ( AUDIO : " The Eleven Day Empire " ) Justine ' s first mission as a Cousin was to go with Little Brother Manjuele to buy back the Relic at Mr Qixotl ' s auction ; she failed by no fault of her own when the Eighth Doctor arrived and captured it . ( PROSE : " Alien Bodies " ) Fall of the Empire . Fifty - two years after the War started , a troop of Sontaran s ( secretly working for the Great Houses ) invaded the Eleven - Day Empire . They planted a fusion bomb and ( unbeknownst to the Faction ) stole the Faction ' s biodata samples . Justine stopped the bomb by dropping her shadow - weapon and ( at Godfather Morlock ' s behest ) using her shadow to pick it up . When it detonated , it destroyed her shadow , but left no physical damage . Because of her lack of shadow , Morlock could graft on a replacement : specifically , the shadow of Grandfather Paradox , still attached to the blood on the knife with which he famously performed the Act of Severance . ( AUDIO : " The Eleven Day Empire " ) Lolita and representatives of House Tracolix signed a treaty with the Faction which purported to again recognise Paradox as a House , but included a clause on the extradition of Faction members who had broken Homeworld law . Using an obscure , archaic Faction rule , which stated that the bearer of another person ' s shadow was that person , Lolita was able to identify Justine as the Grandfather , declare the Faction to be in breach of the treaty , and have the Sontarans enforce martial law . Lolita used the stolen biodata to commune with the Empire ' s spirits , then consumed the Empire into her interior dimensions . Morlock bundled Cousin Justine and Cousin Eliza into a timeship . He told them to go to the Homeworld , saying that Paradox was now officially a House , and that the laws Lolita used didn ' t apply outside of Faction territory . ( AUDIO : " The Shadow Play " ) However , instead of going to the Homeworld , Justine piloted the timeship to 1762 , hoping that they would be accepted as diplomat s because of the Gregorian Compact . She and Eliza initially took sanctuary with the Order of Saint Francis in Medmenham , but after the Order was attacked by the Service , she decided that as a foreign dignitary it would be proper to introduce herself to the Royal Court . His Majesty the King George III gave her the dubious honour of a duel with one of his Peking Homunculi , which she handily defeated using the Grandfather ' s shadow . Once she had returned to Medmenham , the Earl of Sandwich introduced her to the " real " head of the Order : Compassion , in the body of Mary Culver . Compassion explained that Lolita was trying to conquer 1762 by way of Britain , and Justine and Compassion formed a tenuous alliance to stop her . ( AUDIO : " Sabbath Dei " ) The Great Houses finally caught up with Justine in St James ' s Square . The Serviceman Sabbath , acting as their agent , transformed it into a courtroom cut off from Earth to put her on trial for the Grandfather ' s crimes . Aware that she had no chance of winning her case , Justine made only a token effort to defend herself , instead summoning Lolita as a witness and questioning her about her intentions on Earth . Justine - as - Grandfather - Paradox was found guilty and sent off to the Houses ' prison planet . ( AUDIO : " In the Year of the Cat " ) Frozen in the Houses ' prison , Justine dreamt of her childhood . She remembered when she first encountered the Faction , and seeing a beautiful face in the sky — except that the latter was happening in her present , as Cousin Shuncucker looked in on her in her casket . It was enough to trigger some self - awareness , and she used the Grandfather ' s shadow to obtain the type of weapon which would let her out of the casket ' s time frame . Immediately she found herself confronted by Shuncucker , who also claimed to be the last scion of Faction Paradox and bearer of Grandfather Paradox ' s shadow . ( AUDIO : " Movers " ) Each insisting that they were the last true saviour of the Faction , the two Cousins were initially at odds , but they soon reached an accord when it became obvious that they had a common enemy in Demetra Kine , a posthuman from Siloportem , who had a feud with the Faction and had herself imprisoned so she could kill Shuncucker when the prison immediately failed . Working together , Justine and Shuncucker killed Kine and her agents . Justine discovered that Compassion had orchestrated the entire breakout over the past six months just to rescue her . Compassion sent Justine her timeship , and Justine returned to Earth in 1763 . ( AUDIO : " A Labyrinth of Histories " ) The Osirian Court . In 1763 , members of the Society of Sigismondo di Rimini summoned Justine to help them deal with Great Ape in Posto di Ferragio , which they suspected to be a Mal ' akh . Justine was initially reluctant , but Corwyn Marne told her that he knew the location of race bank s and biodata codices that the Faction left on Earth after the Gregorian Compact in 1752 . These technologies would be very helpful for Justine in rebuilding the Faction , and in exchange for her help , Marne promised to lead her to them . Eliza was already investigating the Ape , and together , the two Cousins attacked Merytra Ellainya ' s Mal ' akh army just as she performing a ritual to activate a sarcophagus that Justine recognised as the lodestone to a time tunnel . After ruining Merytra ' s sacrifice , Justine demanded the information from Marne , who led her to the ruins of Civita . There , they found the Faction shrine destroyed , with its remembrance tank s smashed and grown into the monstrous Tree of Filth ; Sutekh had won it in a treaty with the Houses , and he chose to destroy Faction Paradox ' s heritage . Maddened , Justine allowed Merytra to open the corridor and jumped through into the Ship of a Billion Years . ( AUDIO : " Coming to Dust " ) As a diplomat in the Osirian Court , Justine planned to thwart Sutekh ' s claim to the throne by resurrecting Osiris . To this end , she contacted Anubis , the Court ' s best biologist , and sent Eliza to collect Osiris ' biodata from Italy . However , she became lost in the Delta on the way to Anubis ' laboratory , and she was only rescued by Mortega ' s timeship . When Lolita told Sutekh about Justine ' s plan , and he threatened the laboratory with the Ship of a Billion Years , Justine used Mortega ' s timeship as a distraction , and the War King arrived with the 59th Time Fleet to rescue them . ( AUDIO : " Body Politic " ) After helping oversee Eliza ' s transformation into Horus , Justine was brought to the Homeworld , where the War King tried to give her House Paradox ' s old seat on the War Council . He said that House Paradox had adopted her and given her biological advantages , so she was a member of the Great Houses just as much as those on the Homeworld . However , Lolita argued violently against this idea , claiming to be directly targeted and challenging the War King ' s judgment . After Justine fled the Homeworld to return to the Court , Lolita killed the King and became War Queen . ( AUDIO : " Words from Nine Divinities " ) When Sutekh declared a time war against Horus for the Osirian throne , ( AUDIO : " Ozymandias " ) Justine and Horus sent psychic messages to Abelard Finton and Corwyn Marne on Earth ; Anubis then built a bio - screen for Justine to mask her memories and the Grandfather ' s shadow from both outsider observers and herself . Justine believed herself to be a simulacrum of the real Justine , who was in hiding . Immediately after the tribunal , Justine told a future version of Geb to check south of the pyramid for Sutekh ' s body . She and Finton then took her timeship to the Homeworld , where Horus had just defeated Lolita with over seven hundred fellow warriors . Horus shut down his biodata to make himself mortal , and Justine had a short conversation with Eliza before mortally wounding her with the Grandfather ' s shadow . She gave Horus her timeship to go to Egypt , then took Horus ' barge to go with Finton to just after the war ' s end . There , they watched Geb burying Sutekh in a pyramid ; they also saw Corwyn Marne and an earlier version of Lolita watching the funeral . Then Justine and Finton left to the Ship of a Billion Years . There , they met Nephthys , who was transporting Horus ' body and told Justine to be afraid . In the throne room of the Ship , Justine and Finton met an earlier version of Sutekh , who believed he had won the battle by killing Horus . He could control Justine ' s body but not her mind , so he launched a full psychic attack on her . However , Finton began to recite his poetry , inspired by the dreams sent by Horus , and this broke down Justine ' s bio - screen just as Sutekh created a direct channel between their minds . She lashed out with her shadow - weapon , penetrated Sutekh ' s natural defences through the channel , and severed his neural connections . She deposited his crippled body on Mars for Geb to find , then dropped Finton off in Italy with clear instructions to say that Justine was returning to the Osirian Court . Justine left Horus ' barge under the Mediterranean for him to use to travel to the Homeworld , and departed in the timeship Horus had sent Nephthys to leave on Earth . ( AUDIO : " The Judgment of Sutekh " ) Appearance . Justine was white , with red hair , green eyes , pale skin , and far less harsh of a face than you ' d expect from someone who went around wearing a skull mask . At the Mission on Dronid , she wore her black velvet dress from Earth every day . ( PROSE : " Alien Bodies " ) When she was imprisoned on the prison planet of the Great Houses , she was given the customary convict tattoo . ( PROSE : " A Labyrinth of Histories " ) Behind the scenes . Character notes by Lawrence Miles . Faction Paradox recruit . Young , probably early twenties . Recruited from nineteenth - century England , and it shows . Polite . Demure . Tends to be overly formal , and therefore an unusual candidate for a time - travelling voodoo cult . Probably quite uncertain about her new role in life . Nineteenth - century upbringing means that she ' s ashamed and embarrassed by the fact that she comes from a family of witches , even though it ' s the reason the Faction ' s interested in her . Actually capable of being quite aggressive , but only when she ' s sure of what she ' s doing . At the moment , she isn ' t .
