The War Doctor

Originally young and ready for anything that came against him, this incarnation of the Doctor was a warrior as originally intended by his previous incarnation to become. The **War Doctor** 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. Unfortunately, due to their timeline being out of sync, the Doctor would not remember saving Gallifrey and his next incarnation falsely believed he was the last of the Time Lords.

## Psychological profile

### Personality

In his older years, the First Doctor was a guarded figure who was slow to trust newcomers who learnt of him, (TV: "An Unearthly Child", "The Brink of Disaster") but once his trust had been earned, he would show himself to be a mischievous anti-authoritarian, (TV: "The Dimensions of Time", *The Savages*) who would not follow instructions without giving his own input, (TV: "The Forest of Fear") nor would he stand by and allow someone to bark orders without contributing themselves. (TV: "Guests of Madame Guillotine") He was protective of the young women he took on as companions, as they reminded him of his granddaughter. (TV: "Bell of Doom")

### Habits and quirks

The War Doctor made a habit of incorporating "no more" into his dialogue and thought process, and justifying his actions as being done in "the name of peace and sanity." He also made a habit of uttering "damn", usually as a sign of frustration or when things did not meet his satisfaction. Much to the confusion of his fellow Time Lords, the Doctor was prone to making reference to Earth idioms and phrases. The War Doctor would often stand with his arms folded behind his back.

## Appearance

At the start of his life, the War Doctor had a stern and determined face, green-brown eyes and messy brown hair following regeneration. Though he started off clean shaven, he let his stubble grow until he grew a full brown Van Dyke beard.

Ultimately, after spending "a very long time" fighting in the Time War, he became jaded and tired, his beard and hair having turned a haunting silver-grey, and with pronounced wrinkles on his craggy, careworn face, (TV: *The Name of the Doctor*) making him resemble a man in his seventies. He slicked up his hair in peaks at the top of his head, and his deep, distinctive voice became well-known amongst the people aware of the Time War, (AUDIO: *Pretty Lies*) with the Tenth Doctor noting how it was "posh, [and] gravelly". (TV: *The Day of the Doctor*)

The War Doctor thought his ears to be "conspicuous", voicing to himself his hope that those of his next incarnation would be less so as his regeneration approached.
