Braxiatel - Canonicity

Canonicity

The canonicity of the character with respect to the television series (in which the Braxiatel Collection is mentioned, but the character never appeared) and to other Doctor Who spin-offs is open to interpretation. There has been no indication of whether or how the character might relate to events depicted in the 2005 television series revival. (In The End of the World, the Doctor stated that his homeworld had been destroyed and that he was the last of the Time Lords, which raises the question of whether Braxiatel is still alive.) However, the events of Gallifrey: Panacea suggests that Braxiatel, with Romana and other Time Lords, may have escaped the Time Wars by being trapped in an undisclosed location outside time and space with the entire Time Lord biodata archive—foreseeing a possible future resurrection of the Time Lords. In the Tenth Doctor television story Smith and Jones, the Doctor mentions that he once had a brother, although he gives no details which could identify this brother as Braxiatel. However, the script editor for this episode, Simon Winstone, also edited the novel Tears of the Oracle in which the brotherly connection was first made.
