This broke her trust in him, until she ran into him again on a moonbase on Deimos, where she had been abandoned by another Time Lord with whom she'd been traveling. She then spends Christmas with him, Susan, and Susan's son Alex, and by the end has forgiven him, though rather than resume traveling with him she opts to explore 22nd-century Earth with Alex.]]

!!The Word Lord or Nobody No-One
-> Voiced by Paul Reynolds (2008) & Ian Reddington (2010)

Think of a Time Lord, only one coming from a reality made of words and verb structure rather than space and time. You now have the makings of a Word Lord. This particular name goes by the name of Nobody No-One, and rather likes to be a thorn in the side of the 7th Doctor.
