Chris Cwej's Superiors

"The Superiors were one title by which the powerful masters of Chris Cwej were known, alongside other names such as the Shadow People, the House-Dwellers, the Lords of Jewel, (PROSE: A Bright White Crack) Race of Temporal Supremacy, (PROSE: Ring Theory) and, more informally, Those Lot Up There. They held domain over the Linear Universe from their Base of Operations. (PROSE: A Bright White Crack) In truth, his masters were none other than the Great Houses (PROSE: The Book of the War, et al.) of the Time Lords. (PROSE: The Dying Days) Indeed, the term "mysterious superiors" was sometimes used to refer to the people of the Doctor (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Revenge of the Cybermen, Verdigris) and Iris Wildthyme. (PROSE: From Wildthyme with Love, The Wildthyme Effect, AUDIO: Iris Wildthyme and the Land of Wonder)
== Nature ==
Chris Cwej thought of his Superiors as "the most complex pan-dimensional beings the Totality had ever produced". (PROSE: A Bright White Crack) The Time Lords and the Superiors appeared were the same group; (PROSE: Rebel Rebel, The Face of the Enemy) Koschei was described as a Superior in one account (PROSE: Rebel Rebel) and as a Time Lord in another. (PROSE: The Face of the Enemy)
Indeed, Dionus once stated that members of the Great Houses had a "need to be Superior" seeded into "every morsel" of the breeding engines that "churned out" new members of their kind, making them "corrupt from birth", (AUDIO: Eternal Escape) with Rassilon also deeming the Time Lords a quintessential "superior species". (AUDIO: Homecoming)
== Culture ==
Having been responsible for the creation of the Linear Universe, they were notoriously unwilling to let any other species of cultures within their dominion recreate the scientific principles that gave them their power, as it would allow those lesser beings to challenge their rule. (PROSE: A Bright White Crack)
== History ==
=== Early history ===
Chris Cwej knew his Superiors played an immense part in the universe: they created the Linear Universe and "wove Their likenesses into the biology of every being". (PROSE: A Bright White Crack)
=== Using Chris Cwej as their agent ===
The Superiors used Chris Cwej as their agent, having "stripped his flesh away" and turned him into an electronic consciousness whom they could reincarnate on cue. (PROSE: A Bright White Crack)
They once sent Cwej to the Psychosphere. (PROSE: Collective Unconscious)
=== Undated events ===
The Third Doctor was sometimes sent on missions across time and space by his "mysterious superiors", the Time Lords. (PROSE: Verdigris)
Iris Wildthyme had "mysterious superiors" who once tried to make Panda their Supreme Being. (PROSE: From Wildthyme with Love) Iris once lied to Alice Liddell that they had to stop travelling together because Iris' mysterious superiors would disapprove of the changes to history. (PROSE: The Wildthyme Effect)
When Panda travelled with a future incarnation of Iris, he began to suspect that she had blown up her mysterious superiors at the end of the Tim War. (PROSE: From Wildthyme with Love) The far future ruins of the Superiors' citadel was surrounded by destroyed Cyberons. (PROSE: Rebel Rebel)
