BorusaBorusa is a fictional character in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. He is a Time Lord, and a former teacher of the Doctor. Borusa appeared in four serials: The Deadly Assassin, The Invasion of Time, Arc of Infinity and The Five Doctors. On each occasion he was portrayed by different actors, each with somewhat different personalities, the explanation being that he had regenerated. He was portrayed in The Deadly Assassin as a good though pretentious person with some political standing on Gallifrey, their home planet. In the 20th Anniversary special The Five Doctors, Borusa (now Lord President) wanted Time Lord founder Rassilon's fabled secret of immortality for himself. Borusa used a Time Scoop to transport the Doctor in all his regenerations (along with various companions) to the Death Zone on Gallifrey, using them to clear the way to the Dark Tower were Rassilon was entombed. However, Rassilon's promise to share immortality with whoever overcame the obstacles in the Tower and solved the Game of Rassilon was actually a trap designed for would-be dictators. Borusa was granted immortality by being transformed into a living statue.
