for clarity's sake, everything in italics is from the books.
The Great Intelligence was one of the last Sentiences in the previous universe, some say the last Time Lord. It passed into the current one, losing its physical form but gaining vast other powers (White Darkness et al).
After an encounter with the Doctor (probably the first), Padmasanmbava begins meditating upon the depths of the mind's eye and on space/time, encountering the Great Intelligence (300 years prior to Abominable Snowmen).
Padmasanvava draws the Intelligence, in a discorporated "snow form" to Earth at the end of the 19th century, where it encounters Doctor Simeon and possesses him, and adopts his form as a default for future encounters (The Snowmen).
The Doctor (eleventh) tells it about the Underground. defeated, the Intelligence focuses on slower more meticulous plans far from civilisation - Tibet.
However, using the Simeon form, and the remnants of its power to create the Whispermen attack the Paternoster Gang, in a very long term plan to attack the Doctor's timeline directly (Name of the Doctor).
Decades later (1930s) the Intelligence attempts its second direct attack, using possessed monks and robot Yeti. This time it's the second Doctor (encountering the Intelligence for the first time outside of textbooks and legends told by the Hermit) who defeats his first ploy but unwittingly enable its second (and potentially third) ploys (Abominable Snowmen).
By the 1960s the Intelligence has a Powerbase in London (Bells of Saint John). it reactivates the Yeti Travers brought to London and deploys others - presumably built by his other agents in London (Web of Fear and Bells of Saint John). The Intelligence also attacks the TARDIS inflight with a weblike substance (weblike or snowlike?).
the second Doctor again defeats the direct threat (Web of Fear) unaware of the secondary plans of the Intelligence (Downtime and Bells of Saint John).
Weakened by its defeat, and again using the Simeon form (as well as others) the Intelligence strikes against one of the humans instrumental in its defeat - Lethbridge-Stewart. (Lethbridge-Stewart: Forgotten Son).
the Intelligence strikes again at the Doctor through his friends, this time Victoria Waterfield and Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart, both of who were instrumental in the Intelligence's previous defeats. Lethbridge-Stewart, his daughter, Victoria and Sarah-Jane Smith defeat the Intelligence's third attack on the Earty, but are once again, unaware of the secondary ploy (Downtime).
Dame Anne Travers' fear of another Intelligence invasion came about in part because of that fear summoning the Intelligence during a Block-Transfer Computation aided alteration to the planet Earth on the eve of the 21 century. Once again, the Doctor (the sixth) was on hand to restore reality (Millenial Effects).
The Intelligence's most successful and insidious ploy involved wi-fi and was defeated by the eleventh Doctor and (unknown to the Doctor at the time) the machinations of the Master (Bells of Saint John and Deep Water).
The Intelligence's final attack on the Doctor was a success, it entered the Doctor's timeline and turned all his victories into defeats and brought the universe into darkness. It ceased to exist due to the pressure of being inside the timeline of a being as complex as and with as immense and complex a timeline as the Doctor's. (Name of the Doctor).
if it hadn't ceased to exist, it would have witnessed Clara Oswald undoing its effects on the Doctor's Timeline. (Name of the Doctor).
