	Who was the FIRST Timelord ( not the first Dr., the first Timelord )?

	We have been trying to get the definitive answer to this, and there
	seems to be some disagreement involved. Rasilon (sic?) is accepted
	as "The Father of all Timelords", but I seem to recall something
	about Omega ( first appeared in "The Three Doctors", later appeared
	in "The Arc of Infinity" ) being the first Timelord. 

	My memory of "The Three Doctors" is fuzzy, but didn't it go something
	like this:

	Omega of Gallifrey, in some way had gone through a black hole. His
	sacrifice allowed the people of Gallifrey to control the energy of
	it giving them their power ( The Eye of Harmony? ). Everyone assumed
	Omega had perished and was considered a hero.

	In "The Three Doctors", it is discovered that Omega did not perish, 
	but was transported into an "Anti-matter" universe, that he wanted
	to return to the "real" universe, and that he wasn't a very nice
	person at all.

	In "Arc of Infinity", Omega again tries to re-enter the "real"
	universe ( this time courtesy of a treasonous Timelord on Gallifrey ).

	Given that type of background, I would think that makes him a strong
	candidate for the first Timelord. Does anyone have a more detailed
	description of Omega, and perhaps how Rasilon fits into this ?
