Name – White Guardian
The White Guardian WHITE was a conceptual entity embodying Light and Order. He first enlisted the help of the Fourth Doctor to gather the six segments of the Key to Time in order to restore the universal balance of the cosmos. He also warned the Doctor about the Black Guardian. Eventually the Doctor succeeded, and assembled the Key, outwitting the Black Guardian and enabling the White Guardian to restore the balance.
Later, 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. The White Guardian banished the Eternals and offered the Enlightenment crystal to Turlough. 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 existed as long as he did, and would continue to exist until they were both no longer needed.
