Rassilon (Minister Of War)

Following his exile, Rassilon, in an incarnation who dubbed himself the "Minister Of War", found the remnants of the War Lords, who were clinging to life in the force field placed around their home planet by the Time Lords. Desiring revenge against the Doctor, Rassilon convinced them to ally with him, and then sought to use the Hand of Omega to return him to Gallifrey.
== Biography ==
==== Post-Regeneration ====
Fearing the prophecy of the Hybrid, Rassilon attempted to learn everything about it from the Twelfth Doctor, trapping him inside his own confession dial and on his escape trying to have a firing squad execute him, only to be foiled when the squad purposefully missed due to their great respect for the Doctor. When Rassilon tried to use his gauntlet to kill the Doctor himself, he was stopped by the Eleventh General. Rassilon was then overthrown and replaced by the Doctor, before being banished from Gallifrey. (TV: Heaven Sent, Hell Bent) 
Seeking revenge for his exile, Rassilon found the remnants of the War Lords, who were clinging to life on their home planet, which had been placed within a force field by the Time Lords (TV: The War Games) He was able to use his ship to rip through the force field, but at the expense of his life when the ship broke apart, hit the surface of the planet and erupted into a fireball, causing him to regenerate,
==== Alliance With The War Lords & GUS ====
Whilst trapped behind the force field, the War Lords didn’t stop, they set their sights on continued and persistent advancement in an effort to break beyond the force field. With Rassilon’s help, the War Lords’ advancement reached further heights, including their biggest plan, a sentient computer called GUS. Upon completion, Rassilon and the War Lords used GUS, to hack into various spacecrafts they came into contact with, in an effort to further their technological advancements back on the planet, with GUS killing or dispatching of the crew and auto-piloting the crafts back to the War Lord’s planet. where they were used by Rassilon and the War Lords to not only help them travel the stars, but also use parts to try and help power the few SIDRATS they had left, which needed fixing given how much time the War Lords were trapped and unable to travel in time. Then, becoming able to travel through space, they intercepted and captured different creatures, including the Foretold and the Tethered, before placing them on various spacecrafts that GUS had hacked into. Given GUS' powerful sentient nature, he eventually became able to operate by itself across the stars simultaneously.
With enough power over space travel, they began using GUS to experiment on the human race, testing them and their personal defences. They used information gathered from each individual spacecraft intercepted by GUS and the results gathered from putting human crews through different interactions with different species they've also captured. Rassilon naturally assumes more and more leadership, even dubbing himself the Minister Of War.
At some point, Rassilon’s plan had developed. He wanted Gallifrey back and with the War Lords by his side, he wants to reinforce his rule over the Time Lords but, despite their advancements, the SIDRATS were limited in their possibilities, which made it almost impossible for them to travel in time. To return to Gallifrey where it currently stands at the end of the universe would need almost unimaginable power; the power of a supernova. Rassilon is aware, from his own involvement in the operation, that the Hand of Omega, a stellar manipulator capable of creating the supernova needed, was hidden again and buried deep on Earth during the Time War, just before the 20th century. Using technology found on the various timeships they captured using GUS, Rassilon and the War Lords power their only working SIDRAT to travel to Earth and retrieve the Hand of Omega.
==== Galen Roe ====
Rassilon lands in the 1890s successfully, but the SIDRAT shuts down, stranding the renegade Time Lord on Earth. With their leader lost, the War Lords and GUS get to work in an effort to advance even further and reach him. Despite being stranded, Rassilon took advantage of his situation and tried to move quickly. Using his own knowledge of Earth and technology, Rassilon sets himself up as Galen Roe, an inventor and a scientist. He builds a corporate empire and a large factory for common machinery ahead of Thomas Edison, while instilling in his company's workers unflinching loyalty and knowledge of electricity. By 1901, he’s able to develop the prototype for the galvanic drilling rig, capable of unearthing the Hand of Omega from its burial site.
==== UNIT ====
Rassilon builds a galvanic drilling rig to retrieve the Hand of Omega, which he plans to use to destroy the Sun, which would, in turn, destroy Earth. Rassilon would then harness the power of the supernova to provide the energy that would power the SIDRATs enough for Rassilon to return to Gallifrey.
==== Death ====
Rassilon begins to regenerate. Before he can shoot the Doctor, Missy runs in and shoots Rassilon with her gun.

Alice O'Donnell, a former military intelligence operative and a native of 2119 Earth, mentioned the Minister of War when she mentioned 1980 as occurring "pre-Harold Saxon, pre-the Minister of War, pre-the moon exploding and a big bat coming out". The Twelfth Doctor did not recognise the title but commented that he expected to "find out soon enough" before Alice could explain. (TV: Before the Flood)
