Tancredi

desperate unstable predatory obsessive self-deluded

Tancredi is the last surviving splinter of the Jagaroth race, a fragmented consciousness tormented by the fractured voice of Scaroth. His human form serves as a vessel for a fractured alien identity desperate to reunite his people across time. Consumed by the imperative to 'undo the centuries that divide me,' he wields interrogation and torture as tools to force the Doctor to reveal the secrets of time travel. His psychological unraveling is visible in disjointed dialogue and physical instability, betraying the strain of hosting a splintered consciousness while pursuing a plan that may already be doomed.
