Lord Savar

condescending tradition-bound defensive intellectually rigid status-conscious

A Gallifreyan noble clinging to obsolete traditions while confronting encroaching irrelevance. Savar anchors his authority in ancestral wisdom, but recoils at modern scientific concepts that threaten his intellectual primacy. His manner alternates between condescending arrogance and flustered confusion, masking insecurity about his obsolescence. A creature of ritualized debate, he measures worth through mastery of outmoded knowledge while struggling with basic technical terminology. His brittle dignity fractures under pressure, exposing a man more invested in seniority than substance.
