Character history

Omega was a stellar engineer on Gallifrey who developed the Hand of Omega, a remote stellar manipulator which could be used to control the reactions within suns. Using the Hand, Omega performed adjustments on a star near Gallifrey's in an attempt to provide a power source for the time travel experiments conducted by himself and Rassilon). However, Omega was thought killed in the resulting supernova, which then collapsed into a black hole.

A black hole is a concentration of mass great enough that the force of gravity prevents anything past its event horizon from escaping it except through quantum tunnelling behaviour (known as Hawking Radiation). ...

Rassilon subsequently captured the nucleus of the black hole and used its power to perfect time travel technology, turning his people into lords of time. Rassilon then took control of Gallifrey as Lord President. The nucleus eventually became known as the Eye of Harmony, and Omega's name passed into heroic legend.

Millennia later, during the events of the Doctor Who serial The Three Doctors, it was revealed that Omega had not died, but had rather been sent through the event horizon into an antimatter universe and had been trapped there since then. His exile and solitude turned him quite insane, and he sought revenge on the Time Lords for "abandoning" him. He made two attempts in the television series to re-enter the positive matter universe, in The Three Doctors and in the serial Arc of Infinity. Both attempts were thwarted by the Doctor.

The audio play Omega revealed that Omega's real name was Peylix, "Omega" being the grade he received at the Time Lord Academy — the lowest possible grade — which stuck to him as a cruel nickname. However, aside from issues about the canonicity of the spin-off media, as the story is largely told from the point of view of an insane Omega with confused memories, this makes the accuracy of this information uncertain.

In the spin-off novels, the partnership of Rassilon and Omega in Time Lord history is rounded off by the shadowy figure of the Other. Some accounts suggest that Rassilon misled Omega into believing that he would survive the stellar experiment. The Doctor Who Monthly comic strip Star Death by Alan Moore (DWM #47) attributed the supernova to an attack by the Order of the Black Sun, an enemy of the Time Lords from 30,000 years in their future, the first strike (from the Time Lords' point of view) of a time war.

Omega also appears in the 1998 BBC Books Doctor Who novel The Infinity Doctors by Lance Parkin (which also mentioned Qqaba), although as it is never quite specified if the novel takes place in the actual Doctor Who universe or an alternate reality, whether this was the "real" Omega or an alternative version is unclear. The novel reprises various events from both television appearances, although it creates an original story from them. 1998 (MCMXCVIII) was a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International Year of the Ocean. ...
