The Silence have been on Earth since the dawn of time, manipulating mankind’s development for their own purposes. But if you’ve seen them before then you wouldn’t remember—they control humans by post-hypnotic suggestion and once you stop looking at a Silent you forget it ever existed. That’s if you survive the encounter, for a Silent may decide to destroy you by absorbing electrical power from whatever is nearby.
The Minotaur is a creature guarding the God Complex. As much a prisoner as those it pursues within its holographic prison, the Minotaur feeds off the ‘faith’ of its victims—what they strongly believe in.
Gangers were developed to work in environments too dangerous for people. Controlled remotely by a human operator they soon saved lives and money and most believed a Ganger was simply a tool, little more than a fork-lift truck.
The Doctor has met many vile and brutal monsters during his travels but there was something chilling in Solomon’s total disregard for life – something so unspeakable that even the Doctor appeared unmoved by his terrible fate after leaving the Silurian ship.
