History
The Toclafane was the name given to a species of cyborgs native to the far future. Their origins were traced to 100 trillion years in the future during the final years of a dying universe where the scattered remnants of humanity exited. In an effort to survive, they sought out Utopia that was believed as a final refuge for their people but were distraught to find nothing but the darkness and coldness of space awaiting them. In those moments, mankind lost all shreds of hope and turned on themselves where they cannibalised their own bodies to create a new race of cyborgs. To better cope, they created a collective intelligence for themselves and regressed their minds to being little more than children that shared memories as they now resided in floating spherical containers holding only their heads. In this time, they were encountered by the renegade Time Lord known as the Master who had stolen the TARDIS and journeyed to their time after the time travel circuitry only allowed him to journey to that time period and the modern day. Once there, he hatched an alliance with the cybernetic remnants of mankind by offering them refuge in modern day Earth for them to conquer rather than remain in their dying future. The cybernetic species agreed and the Master came to refer to them as the Toclafane after the Gaillifreyan bogeyman in order to mask their true origins from his enemies. To allow the Toclafane to journey into the past, the Master came to modify the TARDIS into a Paradox Machine in order to allow the Toclafane to come back into the modern age and effectively kill their ancestors without erasing themselves from the timeline. He achieved this by manoeuvring himself into the position of Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in his guise as Harold Saxon.
