The Pantheon Is The “Pantheon Of Discord” From The Sarah Jane Adventures
The Pantheon’s debut came in a Doctor Who spinoff show
" Pantheon " is a very placeable word , and it ’s one that was used inDoctor Whocanon long before the Disney era . In theDoctor Whospinoff show , The Sarah Jane Adventures , David Tennant ’s Tenth Doctor comes face - to - face with a villain call the Trickster in the time of year 3 two - parter , " The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith . " The Doctor confirm the Trickster belongs to " The Pantheon of Discord . " While the version of the Pantheon fromDoctor Whoseason 14 was a foresightful fashion off being devised , Trickster has now retroactively been made a penis of the same group of gods as Sutekh .
" The Trickster is a creature from beyond the cosmos . Forever try out to break into our world , manifest himself . He ’s one of the Pantheon of Discord . "
Russell T Davies co - wrote the spinoff news report , so the returning showrunner has n’t been afraid to turn over into his older effort from his original turn in charge of the franchise . This would also explain how the Doctor has ever heard of the Pantheon , despite them never show up inDoctor Whoitself . ThisSarah Janestory first aired in 2009 , but the Trickster still was n’t the first Pantheon god to seem onscreen . Sutekh and the Mara fromDoctor Who ’s classic era are also confirmed members of the Pantheon .

The Pantheon Could Be Connected To Doctor Who’s Eternals
The Eternals share similar traits with the Pantheon
The various Pantheon member are seemingly immortal , which hold it possible that they are connected to another mathematical group ofDoctor Whovillains . Known as the Eternals , these powerful bad guys date back to the show ’s classic era , appearing in the 1983 Fifth Doctor serial , " Enlightenment . " Eternals have simple , one - worded titles , with fictional character name such as Death , Time , Pain , and Light .
The Disney epoch of Doctor Who has resulted in a confusing enumeration convention that set about with Ncuti Gatwa ’s first time of year as the Fifteenth Doctor .
Maestro and the Toymaker may have slightly more recognisable namesthan the item-by-item members of the Eternals , but the format is very similar . Additionally , both sets of characters can come along to be human in appearance , despite being almost the uttermost thing from it .

" Both the Eternals and the Pantheon also brag incredible world power that seem , at the very least , adequate .
Doctor Who’s Pantheon Tease Suggests More Villains Are Out There
There are likely several members of the Pantheon who can show up in Doctor Who
The Scripture " Pantheon " is used as a collective noun for a refinement ’s gods , Doctor Who ’s revealed baddie from the Pantheon would be an underwhelming total to fit under this moniker . For instance , in the Ancient Greek Pantheon , there are twelve God . As such , it seems highly likely thatthere are several other member of the Pantheon quick to cross into the universeand strike . Both the Toymaker and Maestro have a specific style and base , so the same is likely true of other figure within the Pantheon .
The Fifteenth Doctor identify the Toymaker as " A be game , " and goes on to call Maestro , " The perfume of medicine itself . "
The Fifteenth Doctor describes the Toymaker as " A living game , " and goes on to call Maestro , " The essence of music itself . " So , any more debut from the Pantheon need to have a clear-cut specialty so that this trend can continue . However , they also need to be found on ecumenical concepts . It ’s easy to imagine that cultures on other planets have game and medicine , so these are good object lesson . Sutekh being the God of Death aligns with this course too .
The One Who Waits Is The Supreme Deity Of Doctor Who’s Pantheon

Maestro also voices their uneasiness about The One Who Waits in " The Devil ’s Chord , " although they still do n’t use Sutekh ’s material name . When Millie Gibson ’s Ruby Sunday is ensnare in Maestro ’s musical binding , Maestro count visibly scared , read the birdsong emanating from Ruby holds a similar point of power as " The Oldest One , " who was on the face of it there on the dark of Ruby ’s nascence .
