Chronovore

DW: The Quantum Archangel

The Chronovores were god-like transcendental beings who, as their name implied, fed on time itself. They were greatly feared and sometimes respected or worshipped, because of this.

## History

The ancestors of the Chronovores originally lived in the normal universe, able to move across time as other species moved across space. In the event that one of their kind grew tired or became ill and were stranded somewhere at some time, they built the Darkheart, a space/time conduit and medical device, to transmit energy to any point in space and time. They eventually evolved into a higher plane outside of time, (DW: *The Dark Path*) although another account claimed they were spawned by the Great Old Ones and were billions of years old. (DW: *The Quantum Archangel*)

Breaking the Ancient Covenants, the Eternal Elektra and the Chronovore Prometheus conceived a child, Avatar, and were confronted by the Guardians as the Six-Fold-God in the darker strata, deep within the time vortex. Prometheus's existence was undone and Elektra was taken away, the darker strata being shunned and disowned and wiped from the collective memories of both races because of the horror and collective shame of summoning the Six-Fold-God. Later, Lillith, matriarch of the Chronovores, petitioned for the Avatar to be destroyed, but the God spun a crystal and imprisoned the Avatar, which would later be known as Kronos. The crystal appeared on many worlds, eventually arriving on Dæmos before the Dæmons brought it to Atlantis on Earth. Although used benevolently and worshipped, when the Master accessed the crystal in an encounter with the Third Doctor, Kronos was released earlier than intended and went mad, destroying Atlantis.

In 2003, as revenge against the Chronovores, Kronos tricked the Master into cutting off the Lux Aeterna. However, in the process the Quantum Archangel was born and, in an effort to give all seven billion people on Earth their ideal reality, she created seven billion parallel universes around the planet. As this was their only food, the Chronovores swarmed the Earth and began feeding slowly, acting like parasites and not carnivores so as to prolong the feast for eternity. Working with the Sixth Doctor, Kronos sacrificed himself and detonated the Great Attractor, giving the Lux Aeterna a way home and allowing the Chronovores back into the Six-Fold-Realm. (DW: The Quantum Archangel)

Mortimus later enslaved the Chronovore Artemis to get revenge on the Doctor, after which Artemis was freed and took her revenge on Mortimus for imprisoning her. (DW: No Future)

### Jonathan Crisis

The Eversiscendants went to war with the Chronovores for control of the Calabi-Yau Space. The Eversiscendants allied with the Flesh Eversiscendants, however, they betrayed the Flesh Eversiscendants which ultimately lost them the war - resulting in the disabling of their backup base (Rho Sigma Base) and them fleeing back into the In-Between

The Eversiscendants later seeked revenge with the Chronovores after joining the Alliance. Pillars were sent to either enslave or destroy the Chronovores, however, they were stopped by the Resistance after they joined forces with the Chronovores.
