Originally a man with the demeanour of a light hearted buffoon, **The Seventh Doctor** darkened into a mysterious cunning manipulator to combat Fenric's return.

Though he delighted in humorous reverie, it was only the surface of his true nature. Beneath, he was a Machiavellian and sombre genius of frightful calibre who could tactically use his mind to manipulate almost any situation into his favoured outcome. Despite this every action he did “For the greater good” as this incarnation sought out evil to vanquish. He could also show profound warmth and affection to his companions and built a strong connection with all of them.

Initially the Seventh Doctor travelled with his predecessor's final companion Melanie Bush. After several adventures with the new Doctor, she left to go travel with Sabalom Glitz, prompting him to travel with Ace McShane, a troubled teenager from Earth in the 1980s. Treating her as both a protégé and initially as a pawn in Fenric's game, he did his best to heal Ace's psychological wounds by helping her come to terms with her past misdeeds and fears, aiding her in maturing and supporting her in moments of difficulty. Although he initially planned on taking Ace home, The Doctor ended up enrolling her in the Time Lord Academy on Gallifrey after being put through a test by the Time Lords.

After traveling briefly with Bernice Summerfield, the Doctor befriended Raine Cunningham, a posh safecracker whose father was friends with the Doctor. He and Raine then travelled together for a short while, alongside Sergeant Heinrich.

The Seventh Doctor finally regenerated into his next incarnation on the planet Alixion, after getting his mind consumed along with the Abbot's by Time Beetles.

As with the other doctors, the version of the Doctor returned to modern day earth as a human, but with knowledge of the formers of his life. He took the name Sylvester McCoy and became a preformer, and lived past 2022.
