It makes my head hurt. My theory on why Brax is doing what he's doing thus breaks the fourth wall. The various things Brax has been blamed for - like Benny having Peter instead of Keith and Keri being in the wrong century - were all authorial decisions that contradicted previous continuity, and suddenly it all ended up dumped on Brax's shoulders, even when it was outright impossible for him to have planned for it. Thus, to get revenge, Brax has started messing up continuity left and right. His plan is to drive the people beyond the fourth wall crazy.
(It's a very busy crack.)
That makes sense. Also I snorted about his mother. Oh Doctor. But! I do subscribe to the theory that Romana was in charge and then ended up deposed. Braxiatel would support Romana until the bitter end, so either he was eliminated before she was deposed (since people seem to like to wait around until he's gone before they get rid of her) or he'd have been scheming and manipulating to get Romana into the position she needed to be in to 1) give the Doctor the Blow Up Stuff Device and 2) tell the Doctor to be a not!idiot and shoot the diamond.
Knowing Brax, he could actually manipulate events into getting Romana where she wanted to be from beyond the grave. He certainly manages to do it while off-planet and in exile.
FUN FACT: Braxiatel's original plan for Gallifrey was apparently to make Romana and Narvin think they were humans and hide them off elsewhere for safekeeping or something. And then obviously this had to be nixed given the fobwatch thing. So there is even the possibility that Brax would fake death and fake Romana's death (and, yes, fake Narvin's death but only if he has to) so he could go hide them somewhere else to survive. Because Brax is a big fat cheater and you know he'd do it.
IN CONCLUSION: -Brax would have supported Romana through the whole Time War -he probably was killed before the end -there is a high probability that his death was Just As Planned
As for the Collection, I guesss that after the end of Gallifrey it's basically done for. But I don't want to think about it. Because I'll start to cry.
