==Biography==
The Eighth Doctor regenerated from the Seventh Doctor after he was fatally wounded while on Earth. Initially following his regeneration, the Doctor suffered a case of post-regeneration amnesia, though he eventually regained his memories and went on to thwart a plan by the Master to steal his body.
The Eighth Doctor would go on to embark on various adventures across time and space. The Doctor had adventures with sci-fi fan Izzy in the Doctor Who Magazine comics, battling treats such as the Threshold. Within the novels, the Doctor travelled with environmentalist Sam Jones, finding himself facing the ripple effects of a time war, as well as the manipulations of the Faction Paradox cult. They took in Fitz Kreiner, who the Doctor would grow exceptionally close to. At the conclusion of his involvement in The War, the Doctor was left without his past for over a century on Earth, and would only sometimes show glimpses of his former memories when he travelled in the Post War Universe. Eventually, the Time Lords were restored and the Doctor regained his thousand years of experience. 
After the deaths of Lucie Miller, Tamsin Drew and his great grandson Alex, he would be left emotionally broken. However, the Doctor would recover the strength to face several vast schemes from the likes of the Dalek Time Controller, the Master and the Eminence, the Eleven and the Doom Coalition, and the Ravenous and Divine Intervention. 
When the Time War erupted between the Time Lords and the Daleks, the Eighth Doctor initially tried to stay out of the conflict, doing what he could to help those affected by it but choosing not to participate in the fighting. However, when his attempt to save Cass, a crewmember of a crashing ship, was rebuked by her due to him being a Time Lord, the ship went down with both of them on it. The Eighth Doctor was saved by the Sisterhood of Karn, albeit only temporarily as he'd been fatally wounded by the crash. Realizing that the Time War threatened to tear the universe apart and that he could avoid it no longer, the Doctor drank an elixir given to him by the Sisterhood to regenerate into a "warrior" to fight in the war.

==Trivia==
*Due to having no TV series, and thus less oversight, the Doctor's characterisation would be developed in ways that the revived TV show would take several years to approach again, with the Doctor being depicted as having a fluid sexuality. He had romantic overtones with both Fitz and Charley in the novels and audios respectively.
