Didn't agreed in favor of his home planet's, Gallifrey, rules, Theta Sigma (many called him "the Doctor") recalls on there for many years where he was an enemy to his fellow Time Lords for not joining them, sustaining his reputation as an outcast.

At the age of eight, he was taken and enrolled to the Prydonian Academy away from his family, mentored and guided by Borusa about math, science, and a lot of history. His behavior left a bad impression to the teachers and other students, losing his marks.

However, he did befriend fellow student Zita Eita, who was better known as "the Master" since the other students predicted him to be the master of the universe. Seen by him as a brother, the Doctor found something in common with him when they both wanted to leave Gallifrey. Whenever the Doctor struggled, the Master would always assist as he once stood up for him in a fight while the Doctor was hurt, telling the bullies to leave him alone. When they both attended one of their regular walks, the Master told him of wanting to rule planets and have others obey him. The Doctor was appalled from this and ended their friendship, now seeing the Master as a stubborn child. Unless if the Master changes, he requested to never speak to him again. Despite what he did, the Doctor's feelings never been the same.

After many years, the Doctor lived in an old homestead from him as a child before attending the academy, seen by others except his caring granddaughter, Susan, as a nobody and a waste of time. When visiting Arcadia (not far from the homestead), he came across the council foreseeing a prophecy about him. Apparently according to them, he was a reincarnation of the Other, scared of his power which makes him greater than "anyone ever...imagine". The Other was a Time Lord, considered a founding father of Gallifrey along with Omega and Rasslion. The Doctor however objected this, failing for the Council to join on his reasoning.

In response after the meeting, the Doctor went back home and began to flied with Susan without telling why, figuring that he will get killed if stayed longer. They stole a Type 40 capsule, which was hidden in repair shops as it's the only way for escape. Before he continues, he was warned that "they" will hunt him down if he proceeds by someone he knew who was referred as the Woman. He asked her to join only for her to politely decline, bidding her goodbye. When the Doctor and Susan entered, she came up with the name "TARDIS" (standing for the initials: "Time And Relative Dimension in Space") for the vessel before he began to dematerialize the vessel, traveling to the vortex.

Eventually at an old junkyard of 1963, the TARIDS landed, starting up the Doctor's new life. In order to blend in, it was disguised as an old blue police telephone box. In the aftermath, the Doctor "would rejuvenate many times, protect the innocent, and save planets from evil".
