After Flux and its touching upon the pre-universe and Anchoring of the Thread and whatnot, there's a small part of me that's trying to headcanon Mr Saldaamir as a Ravager who defected a to the Time Lords in their pursuit of Rationality. Part of the bargain was him losing his time based abilities (ie transtemporal teleportation and spatial disintegration) since that would've made him a "temporal poison" on the universe his Time Lord superiors wanted to create. Then the Anchoring actually happens and the Division wipes his memories because of course they do, he marries a witch to become routed to the new reality and feels an unknowable draw to Ulysses and the young Doctor that he doesn't quite understand.
I'm not gonna say this is the one true headcanon or even something I fully believe and think makes complete sense, but it's an interpretation I've been mulling over for a little bit.
