Ankarstian is a Time Lord. Originally a minor Time Lord criminal, Ank would become a major figure in Time Lord history during the Desolation War - being forced into serving the Tsiad as the "Dark Angel" and destroying Gallifrey (along with many other planets) before being freed from their influence. After the Desolation War, Ank would become a somewhat minor figure within the Thyrax Intergalactic Council - largely serving the interests of his adoptive home of Kaldaf.

## Character

### Appearance

In his fifth (and most relevant) incarnation, Ankarstian has brown hair and blue eyes. Ankarstian was made into a Kaldaferatan in his first visit to Kaldaf and has fanged molars due to being infected by a Dreiyn in his first incarnation. Ank's back was hideously scarred by the destruction of the Dark Angel suit.

Ank's fifth incarnation mostly wears a red shirt, blue jeans, and leather shoes. While working for the TIC, Ank wears a somewhat elaborate white robe.

### Personality

Somewhat moody and neurotic at times, Ank is largely driven by a desire to create a universe which doesn't require rogues to solve its problems. After the destruction of Gallifrey, Ank would seek to find any and all relics from the planet.

Ank is extremely protective over those he views as his family.

### Abilities

Beyond the abilities afforded by his Time Lord and Kaldaferatan blood, Ankarstian has a plasmic biology, giving him the ability to shapeshift to a limited extent.

## History

### The Prophecy of Four

During the ancient days of Gallifrey, the very first prophecy of the very first Pythia detailed "four Titans summoned by the Menti Celesti themselves". One of these was said to be from the "future" and was a "brooding, white-robed figure, scarred and bruised in war that destroyed the established order." The Prophecy would largely be forgotten due to Rassilon's victory over the Pythias but copies of the Prophecy would be stored in Mictlan by Celestis historians.

### Origins

Ankarstian's origins (and large chunks of his timeline in general) are muddled due to the interference of the Ennead Council. In one (possibly the original) timeline, Ankarstian was loomed. In another, Ank was born to loom-descendants of the ancient Gallifreyan general Kopyion Liall a Mahajesu. Ank's memories of his parents are of a "distant father and a cold, calculating mother". In both timelines, Ank is a native of the Time Lord colony world Jewel. One of Ank's few childhood friends was a fellow Time Lord named Padral.

In his youth, Ank studied at the Prydonian Academy alongside Romana and Maxil. During his studies, he became rivals with a student named Tenebris.

After graduating from the Academy, Ank became a member of the Chancellery Guard - serving alongside Maxil. Several decades into his tenure as a Guard, Ank was sent to the planet Nostrous I to investigate a possible assassination attempt on a High Council member. While on Nostrous, Ank was attacked by Tenebris using a Pellidreiyn. This attack led to Ankarstian regenerating for the first time - along with being infected by the Pellidreiyn. Tenebris was arrested and exiled to Shada. Ankarstian, meanwhile, slowly slipped into insanity due to the voices of the Pellidreiyn.

After quitting the Chancellery Guard, Ankarstian began a project to build a massive bomb/timeship - the AUTREC - and then (possibly) take over Gallifrey. The first part of this plan worked - with Ankarstian building the bomb in the Arcalis system. However, before he could take over Gallifrey, Ankarstian succumbed to the bloodlust that the Pellidreiyn gave him and attacked two other Time Lords - ripping their throats out. Very quickly caught by his former fellows - the Chancellery Guard - Ankarstian was tried on his homeworld of Jewel. Punishments including execution and being sent to Shada were discussed, however, it was decided to exile Ankarstian to the distant Proximan Chain.

### As the Dark Angel

*See The Dark Angel's page for more details*

During Ank's transfer to the Lothrop-Wendove Institute, the ship that Ank was stored in was stopped in its tracks by the Ennead Council and then boarded by emissaries of the Council. These beings kidnapped every member of the crew (besides one who survived by hiding in a corner) and broke into Ank's cell. Ank responded to the emissaries by raising his arms and cackling.
