Apparently there’s a Doctor Who Book called “The Faction Paradox” which features a Time Lord called “The Conquistador”

I've heard about Faction Paradox. Hell, I've read the TV Tropes page for it, and all I saw from that was sheer nightmare fuel straight out of an SCP page.

What if those Time Lordsare the villains in Boom?

I don’t think Faction Paradox themselves are Time Lords.

Kelsey Hooper from The Sarah Jane Adventures is a member of Faction Paradox, though.
