The Sixteenth Doctor

Originally young and ready for anything that came against him, this incarnation of the Doctor was a man who felt despite his youthful image, felt older but wiser than his face suggested. The **Sixteenth Doctor** was the Doctor's eighteenth incarnation and this one felt like the best yet for him.

Tending to not really show much care about his home race of Time Lords, he showed a great passion for history in wanting to explore the past for what it truly was whilst realising that occasionally, he would accidentally let slip on things that would happen in due course.

In the end, he knew his demons would come and catch up with him. He wasn't good at saying goodbyes as proven when his first companion Elise decided to stay on Earth following the events of Vengeance On Earth and even when the departure of Macy Gray came along eventually at the end of Comrades In Silver. Ultimately these drawbacks to him knowing he could carry on but would carry on having to say hello and goodbye to every companion he meets and travels with would ultimately be his downfall as proven when the return of the Valeyard came along after a deadly battle with the Daleks as a chance to finally sneak into the Doctor's timeline once again.

After a long and enduring battle over time and space, the Doctor's body had had enough and decided now was the time to regenerate. He had lived all in all for about 650 years which was good for an incarnation but he knew it was time to be someone else and as so, regenerated following the conclusion of "The Legacy Of The Doctor".

## Biography

### Realising His Identity In 1941 England

Having been in the Tardis when it crash landed in 1941 England, the newly regenerated Doctor came out of the Tardis very confused and not quite sure who he was or what he stood for at all. After collapsing at the feet of the two soldiers who inspected the bomb crater the Tardis had landed in, the Doctor was taken to hospital in Central London where once woken up and more with it, he would soon ask to see Winston Churchill. Winston came along the moment he had remembered meeting the Doctor (Victory Of The Daleks) but when he noticed he looked nothing like what he had previously looked like, the Doctor had to convince him that the man he met was now him.

Upon finally getting to grips with his bearings, he began to help Winston whilst the Tardis was repairing itself. However due to the Tardis having leaked some regeneration energy following the crash landing, it resulted in the Sontarans attempting to create a war within a war. Thankfully the Doctor was there to stop them and save the Earth from a threat as part of The Secret War Of 1941.
