G is for... General, The

Military commander of the Time Lord forces during the latter stages of the Time War. He was on Gallifrey when it was announced that the Doctor had stolen the weapon known as The Moment from the highly guarded Omega Arsenal - intent on ending the war by destroying Time Lords and Daleks alike. Later, three incarnations of the Doctor contacted him to inform him that they had a plan to save Gallifrey. All of the Doctor's incarnations positioned their TARDISes around the planet and removed it from its location, hiding it in a pocket of time. As it vanished, the Dalek fleet destroyed itself in the crossfire.
Later, the General continued to serve under President Rassilon when the High Council chose to imprison the Doctor within the confines of his own Confession Dial, in order to learn what he knew of the Hybrid - a legendary being which it was claimed would one day destroy Gallifrey. The General was sent to negotiate with the Doctor after he had escaped and returned to the planet, after attempts to capture him had failed. The Doctor banished Rassilon and the High Council from the planet, but retained the services of the General. He had him activate an extraction chamber so that Clara Oswald could be removed from time just before she died. Hoping to keep her alive, the Doctor decided to steal a TARDIS and flee, and he turned on the General, shooting him. He first checked that he was not in his final incarnation. The General regenerated and changed gender - claiming that she had actually been female for much of her life, and she was glad to inhabit a female body once more.
The General and Ohica, leader of the Sisterhood of Karn, failed to stop the Doctor and Clara leaving Gallifrey in the stolen TARDIS.
