War Doctor

This Page is about the War (incarnation of The) Doctor. If you're looking for the Doctor as a whole, please see The Doctor."I've had many faces, many lives. I don't admit to all of them. There's one life I've tried very hard to forget. He was the Doctor who fought in the Time War, and that was the day he did it. The day I did it. The day he killed them all. The last day of the Time War. The war to end all wars between my people and the Daleks. And in that battle there was a man with more blood on his hands than any other, a man who would commit a crime that would silence the universe. And that man was me."—The DoctorOriginally young and robust, the incarnation of the Doctor born into the Time War set upon the warrior path for which he had been intended. The War Doctor — so named by Alice Obiefune — was the Doctor's ninth incarnation, though he disavowed his former name, believing he had broken the promise it represented.
Though most Time Lords and Daleks continued to refer to him by that name, as far as the Doctor was concerned, he had no name. To others, he was the "Doctor of War", "the Warrior", or "the Renegade".
As he fought alongside the Time Lords, he became regarded as a war hero who commanded a great deal of respect from the Time Lord military. According to Gastron, the War Doctor was noted for going into battle unarmed but winning nonetheless, with his unarmed state being the last thing many saw.
In the end, becoming old and battle-weary, and faced with the Ultimate Sanction, the Doctor prepared to use the Moment to end the Time War by committing genocide against both the Daleks and the Time Lords. However, the Moment's sentient interface led him down a different path by letting him view his future first-hand.
Teaming up with his future selves, the War Doctor's mind was opened to a peaceful way to end the Time War in lieu of his original plans. Joining with twelve of his other incarnations, the War Doctor was able to save Gallifrey from destruction, and in so doing, became comfortable once more in taking his name. The Ninth Doctor did not remember the events of this last adventure, and thought he had destroyed the Time Lords.
