The Doctor was born to his mother and father into the House of Lungbarrow . A friend of the family , Patience , was present at his birth . He got married to Patience , whom he later lost . The Doctor earned the ire of some of his peers , mostly because of his iconoclastic and eccentric nature , but also because of his socially progressive mindset . Through years of arguments and cowboy diplomacy the Doctor got the Rutan s and the Sontaran s to sit down and discuss a ceasefire . Sadly , this met with stonewalling from both sides and opposition from the Time Lord Council , necessitating the Doctor to take more radical actions to force a peace . The Doctor formed friendships easily and maintained them despite his anarchic nature . His best and oldest friend was the Magistrate of the Citadel . The Doctor taught at the Time Lord Academy and inspired his students to think for themselves ( again earning the ire of his colleagues ) . The Doctor was mentioned in a number of prophecies . One prophecy , maintained as law by the Watch , was that after certain events came to pass , the Doctor was to be killed for the greater good of Gallifrey . The Doctor remembered a time when his mother had been present . He had looked up at the stars and seen several ships . He had wanted to ask where they were going , but didn ' t . His mother had an old Bible , something that left such an impression on the Doctor that he remembered it centuries later . He compared the pages of a menu Omega gave him to his mother ' s Bible . When flashing through experiences and people from his distant and immediate past , the Doctor saw a heavily pregnant , professional - looking woman , a teenager with blonde streaks in her ginger hair , and a wiry young woman with blue eyes and blonde hair .
