Grumpy but kind hearted much like his original incarnation, the Eighth Doctor began life as a grumpy and snappish man, but he eventually mellowed out and showed his kinder and softer nature.
Biography
Post-Regeneration
While working with UNIT to stop a group of animal rights activists at Margrave University, the Seventh Doctor's Tea was poisoned with Iron by Sergent Henrick Benjamin. The Doctor eventually succumbed to the poison and the day after defeating the Numlock he died in Katie's arms while asking. “Doctor... Doctor Who?” He then regenerated into his eighth incarnation. (TV: Blood And Iron); (TV: Night Thoughts)
After regenerating the Doctor Explained the concept to Henrick and Katie before recalling the TARDIS. After getting inside the Doctor took off and spent some time getting used to his new body. Eventually an unknown force took control of the TARDIS, forcing it to land outside a remote Scottish mansion in 2006. Taking Katie into the mansion after she fell into a lake, the trio witnessed a series of deaths amongst the academics that were living there and discovered that they were experimenting with time, with a device they called the Bartholomew Transactor, so they could send a message back in time to their past selves about misdiagnosing a deceased girl known as Eddie O'Neil. However the interference with the timeline caused Eddie to transform into a zombie-like state of limbo, the Doctor realised that the misdiagnosis had never been genuine and that the whole series of events were part of a cruel time experiment conducted by Major Dickens, who intended to correct the academics' mistake. The Doctor traveled back in time to undo the damage, but found himself unable to kill the child, allowing the zombie Eddie to come into existence. Returning to the present, the Doctor discovered that all the academics were now deceased, and theorising that the Zombie-Eddie was responsible for the deaths, keeping herself “Alive” through her own use of the Transactor. He, Katie and Henrick departed. (TV: Night Thoughts)

Personality
The Eighth Doctor harkens back to his original incarnation, acting grumpy at times and prone to snapping at people who annoyed him. He also had an acid tongue, regularly making sarcastic remarks to both friends and foes alike.
However, he also proved to be very caring of his companions, and is haunted by their respective demises, constantly blaming himself for putting them in harm's way.
Out of all the Doctors, he is arguably the most capable of flying the TARDIS, especially after the events of The Enemy Within where he made contact with the ship's psyche.
Physical Appearance
This Doctor looked slightly older than his previous incarnation, with short grey-white hair. From Season 30 to 32, he sported a beard, which was due to his ongoing grief over Katie Tollinger's death.
The Eighth Doctor's main outfit was a red suit, with either a matching waistcoat or pullover, a necktie and black shoes. He also regularly wore glasses, the only Doctor to do so, choosing frames in the style of those from the 1980s and 90s. A few variants appeared over the years, with different ties and waistcoats.
He was the most rotund of his incarnations and while this did affect his ability to run away from incoming threats, he still managed to hold his own in a swordfight during the events of the first film.
