The Master

The Master was a renegade Time Lord and a frequent enemy to the Doctor. While the Doctor's goal was to help people and avert catastrophic events, The Master reveled in causing chaos and destruction. While he generally works alone, The Master now travels with companion Victoria.

## Biography

The Master was part of the Deca along with the Doctor, under the name Koschei. At some time after he graduated from the Prydonian Academy, he fled Gallifrey and took the name "The Master". He clashed with the Doctor multiple times while they were both in their first incarnations, before he regenerated for the first time.

He had many undated adventures between his first and twelfth regenerations. After every regeneration, he recuperated at the Scoundrel's Club.

Early in his twelfth incarnation, he broke into Arcadia in Gallifrey and obtained a backdoor into the Matrix, which he used to obtain information he used against the Third Doctor during his exile on Earth. He allied himself with several alien races, including the Nestene Consciousness and the Sea Devils, but ultimately his plans were always foiled by the Doctor.

At an unknown time, the Master regenerated into his thirteenth incarnation. Due to an accident with his time-stream, he became a living cadaver incapable of regeneration or healing. He took control of Chancellor Goth, in line to be the next Lord President of the Time Lords. At this time, he also gained control over the Matrix and discovered the Eye of Harmony, which he planned to harness to obtain further regenerations. The Master then framed the Doctor, in his fourth incarnation, for the murder of the current Lord President. The Doctor managed to prove his innocence and defeated the Master in physical combat, though he escaped.

After regenerating once more, the Master faced the Fourth Doctor on many other occasions, before he became stranded on the planet Traken. Through political machinations, he schemed to obtain the throne of the planet, but this plan was ultimately foiled by the Fourth Doctor and Adric. However, the Master succeeded in possessing the body of Tremas, governor of Traken, and escaping once more.

After his scheme to use the Logopolitans' power of Block Transfer Computations resulted in the regeneration of the Fourth Doctor, the Master kidnapped Adric and used him to lure the newly-regenerated Fifth Doctor to him. The citizens of the planet Castrovalva, created by the Master himself to help lure the Doctor, rebelled against the Master and stopped him from succeeding in this plan. He was trapped in Castrovalva after this event.

After escaping from Castrovalva, the Master faced the Fifth Doctor on two more occasions, before the both of them were forced by Lord President Borusa to participate in the Game of Rassilon. After his attempt to betray the Doctor ended in failure, Rassilon sent the Master to his own time to atone.

When the Master met his former Deca classmate the Rani, the two teamed up against the Sixth Doctor and Peri Brown. The Sixth Doctor ultimately trapped the two of them within the Rani's collapsing TARDIS, but he managed to escape once more.

He encountered the Sixth Doctor on two other occasions, once helping him against the Valeyard, and once allying himself with the Chronovores against him. Later, he ended up stranded on Cheetah World, where prolonged exposure to its atmosphere began to turn him into a Cheetah Person. He attempted to lure the Doctor there so the both of them would die, but the Doctor escaped, leaving the Master on the dying planet.

It is unknown how the Master escaped from Cheetah World, but when he did, he was targeted by the Daleks, who chased him across the universe until they finally cornered him on a desert planet. There, he obtained and swallowed a Deathworm Morphant before surrendering to the Dalek Empire, who seemingly executed him.

Using the Deathworm, the Master regenerated himself into a snake-like spirit form, which he subsequently used to possess an ambulance driver, Bruce's body. In Bruce's body, he manipulated young gang member Chang Lee in order to obtain the Doctor's Eye of Harmony, hidden in the TARDIS. This plan failed, and the Master fell into the Eye of Harmony. He managed to escape through the Time Vortex.

On Kolstan, he teamed up with two of his future incarnations to stop an alliance between The Eleven and the Ravenous.

However, the Master could not escape his fate, and he was eventually drawn back into the Eye of Harmony. From there, he gained cosmic powers, but could only use them within the Eye. He became feared by the Time Lords of the War-effected Universe, who perceived him as always watching him. Eventually, the Master grew bored of using these abilities, and instead spent his time conversing with the Doctor through a screen in the TARDIS. However, this was a ploy to gain the Doctor's trust. This failed, and the Doctor locked the Eye of Harmony, seemingly leaving the Master stranded forever.

He died in the Eye of Harmony, but his essence remained in the Time Vortex, where it was resurrected. This Master allied himself with the Eleven and the Ravenous against his past and future selves, increasingly desperate to survive. However, due to his great amount of incarnations, the Ravenous killed him and left his body on the planet Parrak.

He was resurrected by the Time Lords in order to help them against the Daleks in a war they feared was brewing. Narvin instructed him to use the Eminence against the Daleks, but he instead took the Eminence for himself.

He began to work undercover in the Ides Institute on Earth, and obtained his own companion, Sally Armstrong. The two of them, utilizing the Eminence and the Eighth Doctor's companion Molly Sullivan's retro-genitor particles, took over the Earth. The Doctor managed to form a resistance and save the Earth. These events were rewritten to have never happened by the CIA.

When the Master's schemes began to become more and more dangerous, the Doctor, under orders from the Time Lords, left him stranded in a war between the Sontarans and the Daleks, where he subsequently died, and did not regenerate.

When the Time War began, the Time Lords once more resurrected the Master, believing him to be the perfect warrior due to his unparalleled savagery. He took many missions from the Time Lords and was integral to the Time Lords almost winning the war. When things began to take a turn for the worse, the Master used a Chameleon Arch to turn himself into a human child. This child eventually became the benevolent Professor Yana, who would assist humanity at the end of the universe with the Utopia Project.

When the Tenth Doctor arrived at the Utopia Project, he accidentally caused Yana to reobtain his memories. The new Master attempted to kill the surviving humans using the savage Futurekind, before he was shot by his former assistant Chantho. Angered at his dying at the hands of an "insect", he regenerated into a younger incarnation.

This younger incarnation arrived on Earth in the 2000's, and under the alias of Harold Saxon began to gain political support. He took his wife, Lucy, to see the universe, and converted the Doctor's TARDIS into a paradox machine which he used to obtain the Toclafane from the future.

Eventually, he became Minister of Defense, and later ran for Prime Minister. He ultimately won, and made "first contact" with the "peaceful" Toclafane, who began to massacre the humans. He ran the Earth alongside the Toclafane for an entire year, before the Tenth Doctor turned into a goblin, T-posed, and floated towards him while everyone chanted his name. The Master was horrified at this, and promptly died.

The Master was resurrected by a cult, but his former wife Lucy Saxon tampered with the ritual, leaving the Master in a state between living and dead. The Master then attempted to turn all of humanity into himself for whatever reason, but this plan was interrupted by the machinations of Rassilon, who was attempting to escape the Time War and end the universe so the Time Lords could "ascend". This plan was averted by the Doctor and the Master.

The Master landed on the Post-Time War Gallifrey, and the High Council cured his eternal drumbeat, before they promptly kicked him out. After this, he landed on a Mondasian colony ship, which he ruled for a time before the inhabitants rebelled against him. However, his TARDIS's dematerialization circuit was destroyed in his attempted escape, and he became stranded on the ship. Disguising himself as "Mr Razor", he oversaw the genesis of the Cybermen via Operation Exodus. He met Bill Potts, who had landed with the Twelfth Doctor but ended up stranded on the bottom floors, and the two spent two years working to make Project Exodus.

The Twelfth Doctor eventually arrived belowdecks with Missy, a future incarnation of the Master, and the two formed an alliance, attempting to use the Cybermen to kill the Doctor. Eventually, the Cybermen betrayed them, and they were forced to work with the Doctor to escape. Missy and the Master betrayed each other and each killed the other, with the Master regenerating into Missy and Missy regenerating into the Lumiat.

After this, Missy created an army of Cybermen out of the dead in order to impress the Twelfth Doctor and gain his friendship again. This failed for rather obvious reasons, but Missy escaped. After this, she was drawn into an adventure with the Twelfth Doctor, Clara, and Davros.

Later, Missy was executed by the Fatality Index for pushing a girl into a volcano. The Doctor stopped this from happening, instead locking her in a vault beneath a human university on Earth, which he swore to guard for two thousand years.

During her imprisonment, she struck up a friendship with the Twelfth Doctor, helping him on several occasions until he finally took her on a "practice adventure". This took Missy to the Mondasian colony ship, where she allied herself with her "Saxon" incarnation before they promptly killed each other.

After this, Missy regenerated into The Lumiat, an incarnation fueled by all the good parts of her nature. She righted many wrongs in the universe before being killed by her past selves due to her goodness.

The Lumiat regenerated into the "Spy" incarnation, who discovered the Timeless Child misdirect planted by the House of Lungbarrow in the Matrix. This enraged him, and he destroyed Gallifrey, though the Celestial Intervention Agency escaped.

He then formed alliances with the Kasaavin and the Cybermen to combat the Thirteenth Doctor, eventually revealing to her the "truth" of her identity as the Timeless Child. This lined up with her meeting with the "Ruth Doctor" (in fact a CIA agent from Lungbarrow).

An unknown time after this, the Spy Master died. An unknown agent reversed this using paradox energy, and the Master regenerated into a tall, lanky, pale incarnation that retained the cheetah eyes of his "Bruce" incarnation. Soon after this, the Master was contacted by Victoria Ravensbrooke, who wished to kill the Doctor and her sister Aphrodite. The Master picked her up from Earth in the mid-21st century and the two became friends.

The Master took Victoria to see the end of the Last Great Time War to show her how corrupt his people had become. While she was given the choice to return to Earth, she chose to stay with the Master in his TARDIS. [RP: Return of the Master]

Later, the Master supplied a smuggler crew with the ship Hyperion VI in exchange for them transporting an illegal biovirus created by the Krynoid to him. This rendezvous was intercepted by both the Krynoid themselves and the Doctor, who ensured that the biovirus would not reach its destination. The Master materialized on the Hyperion after the Doctor's departure and ejected the crew out of the ship, stealing a single Krynoid pod and the biovirus. [RP: Evolution of the Krynoid]

After this, The Master contacted Chad Coven, a vampire assassin well-known in the galactic underworld, and assigned him the task of watching over Oakwood Academy, resting place of the legendary Artifact, until a certain date. [RP: Artifact Chapter 3: Secret Origins]
