Biography
Thanks to his ambition, Morbius became the head of the High Council of Time Lords. While on Gallifrey, he formed a personal army of mercenaries. His followers became the Cult of Morbius.
In an attempt to gain immortality, he used the time scoop to kidnap Iris Wildthyme in seven different incarnations to play the game of Rassilon.
Morbius eventually left Gallifrey and attacked cultures beyond the outside universe. Gallifrey and an alliance hunted down Morbius and eventually, with the help of the Sisterhood of Karn, defeated Morbius on the planet Karn.
