the Timewyrm, who used her control over time to hide in the Doctor’s own past. She had possessed the little girl Lilith five thousand years before, and is planning to use Ace to complete her God Machine, whereby she will achieve supreme power over the universe itself. The Doctor convinces Reptu that the Grand Matriarch must be stopped. Raphael hears the phantom sound of his old friend Darien’s music, and is drawn down into the God Machine. Eager to save Ace’s life, Raphael offers himself to the God Machine. Exposed as he had been to Ace’s aggression, this is enough to complete it, and Raphael uses his new powers to challenge the Timewyrm herself. The Timewyrm is defeated by her own creation. Defeated, but not destroyed.
