I only understand a few of your canon references, as I haven't seen the episodes with this character(s). I like the science/study aspect you bring in. Thanks for writing!

The 'Meddling Monk' was the first Time Lord (not yet called that) that the Doctor ran into. The 1st Doctor opped him in 'The Time Meddler' (on DVD) and the Monk also was an ally of the Daleks in (mostly lost) 'The Daleks Master Plan'.
