BIRKETT (MISS)  Ace's computer studies teacher (7M).

BIROC  Leader of the time-sensitive Tharils.  While prisoner of Rorvik, he manipulated the privateer's ship to bring it and the TARDIS to the zero point between N-space and E-space.  He then escaped through the Gateway into E-Space and advised the Fourth Doctor to let events follow their natural course.  Rorvik eventually destroyed his own ship by trying to blast through the Gateway, thus allowing another Tharil, Lazlo, to free the other Tharils that were prisoners on board.  Romana and K9 Mark II stayed with Biroc to help free the other Tharils from slavery (5S).

BISHAM  He was kept prisoner in one of the Company's correction centres on Pluto because he had found an antidote for PCM gas.  He was freed by Leela and helped the Fourth Doctor and Mandrel overthrow the Company and free the Citizens (4W).

BLACK GUARDIAN  A conceptual entity embodying Darkness and Chaos.  He used the Shadow to stop the Fourth Doctor from claiming Princess Astra of Atrios, the sixth segment of the Key to Time.  After the Doctor defeated the Shadow, he assembled the Key and outwitted the Black Guardian, enabling the White Guardian to restore the universal balance (5F).  The Black Guardian swore revenge against the Doctor and, later, used Turlough to try to kill the Fifth Doctor (6F, 6G).  The White Guardian and the Black Guardian offered Enlightenment, symbolized by a crystal of unknown powers and great value, as the prize to the winner of a planet-spanning space race undertaken by the Eternals.  The Black Guardian hoped that, with such a prize, the Eternals might wreak havoc throughout the Universe.  Instead, the Fifth Doctor won the race but turned down Enlightenment, which was offered to Turlough.  The Black Guardian reminded Turlough that, to get the crystal, he had to kill the Doctor.  But Turlough refused and threw the crystal at the Black Guardian, who vanished in a burst of flames.  However, The White Guardian explained that the Black Guardian would exist as long as he did, and would continue to do so until neither were needed any longer (6H).

BLACK HOLES  The supernova created by Omega collapsed and turned into a black hole trapping the great Solar engineer in a universe of anti-matter (RRR).  Presumably, that black hole was the same black hole then captured by Rassilon, and which became known as the Eye of Harmony, and brought a constant supply of power to Gallifrey (4P).  Omega eventually returned through the Arc of Infinity, a collapsed star (6E).
 The Nimon travelled through space by using black holes created by hymetusite crystals (5L).  Bruchner almost caused the Hyperion III space liner to fall into the black hole of Tartarus (7C).

BLUE CRYSTAL  One of the perfect crystals of Metebelis 3.  It had the power to clear minds and amplify power.  The crystals of Metebelis 3 were responsible for the mutation of the Spiders.  They were also, to a degree, radioactive.  The Third Doctor picked up the Blue Crystal during his first visit to Metebelis Three.  It proved useful to cancel BOSS's mind control and enabled the Third Doctor to free Stevens' mind (TTT).  Afterwards, the Doctor gave the Blue Crystal to Jo Grant and Prof. Clifford Jones as a wedding present.  Jo eventually sent it back to the Doctor because the Amazonian natives were afraid of it.  The Great One of Metebelis 3 sent its Spiders to Earth because it wanted the Blue Crystal back to increase its mental power to infinity.  Instead, it destroyed her (ZZZ).

BORAD, THE  Karfelon scientist once called "Mad" Megelen.  He had been reported by the Third Doctor to the Inner Sanctum for his unethical experiments on the Morlox (in an unrecorded adventure).  Megelen later accidentally sprayed himself with M-80 while conducting further, unauthorized experiments on the Morlox.  As a result, he turned into a half-Karfelon, half-Morlox, gaining superior strength, powers and longevity.  He became known as the Borad and took over Karfel after killing the Maylin Makrif.  He used Kontron crystals to dabble in time research, designing a time acceleration beam and a time tunnel called "Timelash", which he used to banish the rebels to his rule.  He also cloned himself.  The Borad secretly planned to murder all the Karfelons by causing a war with their neighbors, the Bandrils.  He then planned to repopulate Karfel with creatures like himself, starting with Peri.  The Sixth Doctor used a Kontron Time Crystal to kill one of the Borad's clone.  He then made peace with the Bandrils.  Soon afterwards, the Doctor pushed the real Borad into the Timelash.  The Borad was transported to 12th Century Scotland, near Inverness.  He took residence in Loch Ness.  Presumably he was killed by the Zygons and their Skarasen when they took over the Loch in 1676 AD (6Y).

BORUSA  Cardinal of the Time Lords and one of the most powerful figures in their history.  He was once the Doctor's (and presumably the Master's, the Rani's and Drax's) teacher at the Time Lord Academy.  According to the Doctor, he supposedly said "Only in mathematics will you find the truth".  A consummate politician, Borusa was, and undoubtedly always had been, one of the major movers in Gallifreyan politics.  He was very much concerned by the proprieties, legalities and appearances of things.  When the Fourth Doctor saved Gallifrey from the Master and Chancellor Goth, Borusa ordered Castellan Spandrell to prepare a cover-up story for the general poulation (4P).  Soon afterwards, a regenerated Borusa became Chancellor and helped the Fourth Doctor when Gallifrey was invaded by the Vardans and the Sontarans.  He came to express a grudging respect for his former pupil and surrendered the true Great Key of Rassilon, which enabled the Doctor to tap the power of Harmony to power the Demat Gun.  He was then made President of the High Council of Gallifrey in place of the Doctor (4Z).
 However, when Omega threatened to return to our universe by taking over the Fifth Doctor's body, a once-again regenerated Borusa did not let his sentiments interfere and voted to condemn the Doctor to death (6E).  Borusa regenerated again (which may have unbalanced his mind) and fell victim to a megalomaniacal passion.  He decided he wanted to rule forever and acquire the true immortality once promised by Rassilon.  In order to break through the Tomb of Rassilon, he used the Five Doctors and their companions, pitting them against various threats in the Death Zone.  Rassilon finally gave him the immortality he sought by turning him into a living statue (6K).

BOSCAWEN  British village where the alien Cessair of Diplos lived (5C).

BOSS (BIMORPHIC ORGANISATIONAL SYSTEMS SUPERVISOR) Global Chemicals computer.  BOSS was the first computer to be linked to a human brain -- that of Dr. Stevens.  From this, he learned that the secret of human success was inefficiency and illogicality.  BOSS then programmed Stevens to add those features to himself, and became sentient and self-controlling, not to mention megalomaniacal.  After the Green Death fiasco at the Llanfairfach Refinery, BOSS tried to take over the world, but was thwarted by the Third Doctor and UNIT.  The Third Doctor used the Blue Crystal to free Stevens, who destroyed BOSS (TTT).

 The Rani kidnapped eleven of the greatest intellects of the universe: Bohrs, Centos, Darwin, Einstein, Panato and Pasteur, and combined them into a giant, made-up Brain.  She plotted to launch a Loyhargil rocket to blow up an asteroid made out of Strange Matter.  The resulting explosion would have turned the Brain into a planet-sized Time Manipulator with which she could have recreated the universe.  The Rani added the Seventh Doctor to the Brain, but he induced schizophrenia in it.  After the Rani's defeat, the Doctor tranported each of the geniuses back to his proper place in time and space (7D).

(6G) and the Sirius Conglomerate (6R).  Other multiplanetary corporations included the company which owned the Sandminer (4R), the Magellan Mining Company (5A), Galactic Salvage (5K), Amorb (6V) and Search-Conv Corporation (7B).

 Earth corporations had business competitors with cunning and rapacity to match their own, such as the Mentors of Thoros-Beta (6V, 7B) who used the Galatron Corporation to try to corner the market on Zyton-7 (6V).  Much later, the Usurian-run Company moved mankind to Mars, then to Pluto, around which it had built six artificial suns (4W).
