In the world of the show, Omega is one of the earliest known Time Lords and is credited for inventing their signature technology – that which allows them to traverse both time and space.
All that remained of him was the suit in which he was stranded, which became the iconic look that fans expected to see again when his belated return was teased at the end of season 15's Wish World.
It's no surprise, then, that viewers were surprised and divided by a reimagining of the character as an enormous skeletal beast, who was swiftly destroyed mere minutes after re-emerging.
Of course, those were Archie Panjabi and Anita Dobson's two incarnations of The Rani, who entered an uneasy alliance after a bigeneration at the end of The Interstellar Song Contest.
Davies explained: "They become the legend. That is the point of the Wish World, and the point of the Underverse actually. It's a continuing thing across the entire two series. That wishes and hopes come true."
"You have to accept that 40 years have passed," Davies continued. "The Time War came along and everyone's history got changed. So that's what Omega is now. You can reinvent it.
He added: "Our history of slavery, our way of walking through the world is constantly being re-analysed. So I like to think it's the same on Gallifrey... Omega has been re-contextualised, and the story gets bolder and changes over time.
"We don’t want to repeat the past, we want to push it forward."
