Doctor Carmen

**Doctor Carmen**, or was a being created by the Toymaker in his realm as a mimic of the Doctor. He was given a TARDITU (Time and Relative Dimensions in the Universe). It was created with its own free will, but the Toymaker strongly suggested to work with him. Doctor Carmen spent nearly a hundred years on Earth using a Chameleon Arch to hide his memory of the TARDITU and the Toymaker. He spent this time around Europe, between the dates of 1691 and 27 February 1784. He titled himself the "Count of St. Germain" According to David Hunter, the count contributed some of the songs to *L'incostanza delusa*, an opera performed at the Haymarket Theatre in London on all but one of the Saturdays from 9 February to 20 April 1745. Due to his Chameleon Arch, the Count believed his father was Francis II Rákóczi, the Prince of Transylvania. By sheer coincidence, he happened to open the crate that his chameleon arch was stored within, on 27 February 1784. He then returned to his TARDITU back to the Toymaker. (AUDIO: *The Count of St. Germain*)

After even more pressure from the Toymaker for Doctor Carmen to join him, he eventually did, but as he was asked to assassinate the real Doctor, he learned the truth, that the Toymaker was evil and the Doctor was trying to stop him from taking over the universe. Doctor Carmen later helped his real counterpart to destroy the Toymaker and his realm, being forced to regenerate five times, and being killed and regenerating two other times, all in all appearing in nine individual regenerations. Unlike most of the Toymaker's Doctors (aside from Diktayer Hoot, Dr. Dollmaker, Dun Hot and Dr. Who), Doctor Carmen (TV: *Labyrinth of Funtime*)

When Morbius was showing the Doctor how long he has lived on the vision mixer, Doctor Carmen's incarnations appeared instead of the Doctor. (TV: *The Brain of Morbius*)

The ninth incarnation of Doctor Carmen was knocked unconscious in 1312 and buried by a cult whom thought he was dead, trapping him 400 feet deep inside a cave. By the time he woke up, he realized that he was trapped, and it took him years before he died. (COMIC: *Death of Nine*)

By his tenth incarnation, he had become "of upmost attractiveness" as described by his companion, Martha Jones. He became a "devious, flirtatious hunk" who gave himself self-complimenting aliases such as Dr. Hot, Dr. Cute, and Dr. Kyu Tee 3.14. He would date Martha while he was in the TARDIS, along with another boy of a similar attractiveness. Eventually, after the boy was flung into space due to an airlock malfunction, the Doctor abandoned Martha in 6AD so that she did not die too. (AUDIO: *The Beautiful Ten*)

By some accounts, she went by the name of Mary Magdalene and assumed that she was dreaming, and later went to follow Jesus Christ. (PROSE: *What If? #249*)
