Biography
The Celestial Toymaker was a powerful cosmic being who resided in the universe. He ruled over his own dimension known as the Celestial Toyroom where he commanded immense powers, but they were limited by the rules he set for any particular game, although he could bend these rules or 'forget' to mention them to his opponents if he so chose. He himself was immortal and invulnerable, and appeared capable of space and time travel at will. During the course of a game, one of the players might die outright or they might lose, in which case, the Toymaker would have total control over their life and personality, perpetually. (Episode: The Celestial Toymaker)
During his first incarnation, the Toymaker drew the Doctor's TARDIS back to his realm and made the Doctor and his companions play his games again. This time the Toymaker arranged things so that even if they won, the Toyroom would vanish completely at their moment of victory, leaving him the only survivor and the Doctor and his companions his subjects forever. The Doctor outwitted the Toymaker again and escaped, leaving his realm in chaos. With his defeat, the Doctor came to believe that the Toyroom would cease to exist. (Episode: The Celestial Toymaker)
