But where the Time Lords of Two's final story were more mystic, cryptid, and overall frightening due to their two unnamed Time Lords maintaining a lot of power throughout Two's confrontation with them, the Time Lords of Ten's final story were more bombastic, openly aggressive, yet visibly submissive to Rassilon with the power concentrated on Rassilon alone.
