== Origins == |
|||
The creative team conceived of the Monk as a recurring [[villain]], first appearing in [[The Time Meddler]] (1965). The Monk was amoral and enjoyed meddling actively with history to his own selfish ends. They were also incredibly careless when it came to time travel. Unlike other Time Lords, the Monk didn't seem to care about the potential damage to fixed points |

== Characteristics == |

According to a nightmare had by the [[Fifth Doctor]], Mortimus and the [[First Doctor]] were both part of the Deca in the Time Lord Academy. When [[The Doctor (Doctor Who)|the Doctor]] uncovered Time Lord files regarding the Guardians, Mortimus was one of the first to delve into their secrets. They dropped out of the Academy after the Doctor, Rallon and Millennia took an illegal trip away from [[Gallifrey]] to the Celestial Toyroom. |
