The Editor

"It may interest you to know that this is not the Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire, in fact it's not actually human at all. It's merely a place where humans happen to live."

- The Editor, boasting to the 9th Doctor.

The Editor is the sixth card in the Exterminator set, and the sixth card overall in the Battles in Time game. It is a common human card. As with the rest of the first 85 cards in the Exterminator set, this card was part of the Test Set.

Description
Representing a group of banks, this villain was employed in Satellite Five by the Jagrafess to help enslave the human race.

Character
The Editor was the human interface ruling over Satellite Five in secret in the year 200'000, during the Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire. He worked for his editor-in-chief, the Mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe. The Editor called him Max.

Using Satellite Five, the Jagrafess and the Editor were able to subtly control humanity by means of controlling their media consumption and news broadcasts. They could spark wars and large scale movements using subtle wording and implication. Few humans saw through their plan.

The Editor's plan was eventually stopped by the 9th Doctor, Rose Tyler, and Cathica who killed the Jagrafess by shutting off the air conditioning keeping the creature alive. Although the Editor resigned and attempted to escape, Suki's frozen body grabbed onto him with the last of her life and forced him to die when the Jagrafess exploded.
