==Biography==
At some point following the end of the Time War, the War Doctor perished and regenerated into the Ninth Doctor. Still reeling from the trauma of the Time War and of having to sacrifice his own people to end the war by destroying the Daleks, the Ninth Doctor was much more distant than his earlier incarnations. He still made an effort to help out where he could, but made sure not to form any attachments and did not take on any companions for a time. That was until he met Rose Tyler while stopping an Auton infestation and, after she helped him defeat the Nestene Consciousness, accepted her as a companion and began adventuring with her.
The Doctor's adventures with Rose led them to witness the end of Earth billions of years in the future, to stopping the Slitheen Family from destroying Earth, and to encountering a Dalek which survived the Time War, which caused the Doctor's trauma from it to resurface. The two also met Captain Jack Harkness during a trip to World War-II era England, who also joined the TARDIS as a second companion. In the Titan Comics series, they began a quest to recover Jack's memories that were wiped by the Time Agency, running into a future Mickey Smith, sharing an adventure with the Brigadier, and ending up with a stowaway companion in Tara Mishra.
Later on, the Doctor and his two companions were pulled forward to the Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire, where they were made to compete in various twisted versions of reality shows where the losers were punished by death. The shows were coordinated from Satellite 5 and it eventually became apparent that the Controller of the station was just a puppet, who in a brief moment of freedom had intentionally brought the Doctor to the station in order to stop her masters. The Doctor then discovered that the true controllers of Satellite 5 and the Human Empire were the Daleks, and that the Dalek Emperor had survived the war and recreated the race by harvesting cells from the victims of Satellite 5's games.
With the veil now lifted, the Dalek Emperor had his fleet bombard Earth and sent waves of Daleks into Satellite 5 to kill the Doctor and everyone else on board. The Doctor soon figured out a way to destroy the Daleks by using the station's circuitry to create a "Delta Wave" capable of killing all the Daleks within range, but as he did not have time to refine it the wave would kill all of humanity on Earth as well. As such, the Doctor tricked Rose into entering the TARDIS and sent her back to her own time so she would not be caught in the delta wave.
However, Rose was able to return to the future by opening up the TARDIS and gazing into the Time Vortex, causing her to become the "Bad Wolf" entity and enabling her to disintegrate the Daleks. As the power of the Time Vortex would kill her if left too long in her body however, the Doctor absorbed the energy into himself instead, sacrificing his own life and causing him to regenerate once more, into the Tenth Doctor.
== Personality ==
Having regenerated from the War Doctor, the Ninth Doctor was psychologically scarred by his previous incarnation's experiences of the Time War, coupled with the belief that he had destroyed his own race. More pragmatic and less eccentric than the Doctors before him, he often masked his trauma with a combination of humour, energy and confidence, but would frequently break down and explode in fury when faced by the consequences of the war; however, if truly outraged by someone, the Ninth Doctor would instead calmly stare them down and bluntly explain what they had done to upset him. This Doctor was also a humble and noble soul, cheerily dismissing the idea of himself as a god, and considered himself a traveller in search of a quiet life. He retained the selfless and caring attitude that he carried throughout his previous lives, never once hesitating to put himself in harm's way to save those around him.

==Trivia==
*The Ninth Doctor has no memory of what happened between examining the Moment to when his regeneration completed; so he was left to guess based on physical evidence that he blew up Gallifrey. Thus giving himself and his successors over 300 years of grief over a misunderstanding.
* Eccleston has stated he will never return to Doctor Who so long as Russel T Davies and the showrunners from 2005 are still working on the show.
**Which is why the War Doctor had to be created for the 50th anniversary special; he declined to return to be the Doctor who ended the Time War.
* A bright side of his short tenure as the Doctor, is that regeneration was brought in at the end of the first season; thus not leaving it a surprise in the long run.
* This version of the Doctor would eventually characterised as both asexual and aromantic in the audio drama Swipe Right.
