Complications
Obsession: Target : Once Rondel has a target, it is practically impossible for him to give up before he catches it. He is utterly single-minded in pursuing his target.
Prejudice: Dog/Hound of Tindalos : To most people, Rondel is just a bizarrely intelligent dog. To those who actually sense his true appearance and nature, he is a member of a dreaded species to be destroyed on sight.
Disability: No Hands: Without his exoskeleton, Rondel has no hands and thus has great difficulty manipulating his environment.
Enemy: Enemies of the Time Lords : His Time Lord physiology makes Rondel a natural enemy of anyone that seeks the destruction of the Time Lords. The Daleks in particular are bitter foes of any creature tied to their enemy in the Time War.
Enemy: Hounds of Tindalos: Rondel is renegade Hound of Tindalos. The Hounds are relentless and would gladly destroy Rondel if they found him.
Quirk: Carefree and Careless: When he's not hunting something, Rondel has a hard time caring about anything. He's lackadaisical and easily distracted by anything that catches his attention. Suddenly discovering a universe of possibilites will do that.

Background: Before time and space the Hounds of Tindalos were made. When time ends, the Hounds of Tindalos will chase the last dying embers of existence. They hunt within the angles of time while mortals go on blissfully unaware within their curved space. But every now and then, some poor mortal steps too far beyond their place in space and time. That is when They come. Nameless dread takes their prey. The prey recalls the relentless predator that has stalked them all their days. The prey remembers that it was no accident that took their father but a beast of nightmares. The prey remembers the foul insanity that has nipped at their heels. And then in their last moments, the prey remembers that the Hounds are already here.
The discovery of the Warp Drive brought many to the attention of the Hounds of Tindalos in those early days. In entering what they dubbed hyperspace, mortals had stepped beyond their own space-time and it was all too easy to draw the realm's predators down on them. Tales were told of ships arriving torn to pieces and filled with corpses and survivors driven to madness or simply never appearing again. This was covered up as simply a side effect of the energies of hyperspace as few sane souls knew the truth. Few species were capable of navigating hyperspace safely, most of which were essentially unknown to the more common species of the galaxy. One such species was the Time Lords. The Time Lords had long ago learned of the Hounds of Tindalos and their TARDIS technology could travel through time without drawing the Hounds' attention. But the Time War changed all that. The Daleks, ancient enemies of the Time Lords, took to baiting and capturing Hounds of Tindalos and sending them against the Time Lords. A young pup was one such capture and sent by the genocidal Daleks against a Time Lord scout TARDIS. While the pup was weak by the standards of his kind, he managed to overpower the Time Lord piloting the old TARDIS. But the Time Lords were unlike the normal mortals hunted by the Hounds of Tindalos. The pup consumed the Time Lord as he began to regenerate. The energy warped the young Hound's body and regenerated it instead. What was left was neither Time Lord nor Hound of Tindalos. The new creature looked much like a normal canine but had a mind far sharper than any natural dog. The change left it weaker than an ordinary Hound of Tindalos but with it came an understanding no Hound had ever possessed. It also brought something unknown to any Hound: guilt.
The shock of the sudden change left the TARDIS severely damaged and it fell back into real space. The TARDIS going offline saved it from the sealing of the Time War that trapped other Time Lords within time but the Hound was left stranded. It was drawn to continue the exploration of the universe and found a natural appeal in bounty hunting as a way to utilize its natural hunting instincts. He adopted the name of Rondel after discovering a fascination with round objects, something utterly alien to the Hounds of Tindalos. His absorption of the Time Lord's inborn Rassilon Imprimatur granted a natural affinity for how to work anything, especially any kind of vehicle. He managed to acquire an exoskeleton to cope with his irritating lack of hands and work as a pilot on a ship of bounty hunters.
