History Of The Time Lords
The Time Lords are a fictional humanoid species originating on the planet Gallifrey, seen in the British science fiction television series ''Doctor Who''.

Time Lord
The Time Lords are a fictional ancient race of extraterrestrial people in the British science fiction television series ''Doctor Who'', of which the series' main protagonist, the Doctor, is a member. Time Lords are so named for their command of time travel technology and their non-linear perception of time.
