"The Doctor" was the primary alias used by a renegade Time Lord from Gallifrey who traveled through time and space with various companions in their obsolete and "borrowed" Type 40 TARDIS. He has been considered the universe's "greatest defender", having saved the cosmos countless times throughout a long life, becoming a great legend across the whole universe.
Though largely a believer in non-violent conflict resolution, they were, when absolutely necessary, a great warrior. Indeed, some civilizations in the universe translated the word doctor as warrior, whilst others saw the Doctor as a compassionate benefactor, worthy of their admiration and compassion.
From the latter years of their first incarnation onward, the Doctor had a pronounced affinity for Earth and the human race. After departing Gallifrey, they voluntarily chose to spend time on the planet, (TV: An Unearthly Child) and having it chosen as the place of his exile during much of the life of his third incarnation. (TV: Spearhead from Space - The Three Doctors) Even after his exile was lifted, the Doctor spent much more time on Earth than on his homeworld.
