 Biography

Early Life

The Master grew up on Gallifrey in the House Of Oakdown. (TV: The Confrontation of the Wicked)

Academic Career

The Master and the Doctor became friends on their first day at the academy, (TV: Revenge of the Masterr) with both being tutored by Borusa. (TV: Masterplan, Part II) The Master and the Doctor enjoyed building "time flow analogues" to disrupt each other's experiments. (TV: The Time Monster)

Hunger For Power

As the Master graduated from the Academy, he came to a realisation about what he wanted to achieve and decided he wanted to become Lord President and rule over Gallifrey. (MOVIE: Doctor Who: Revelation) After only a few years since leaving the Academy and gaining Time Lord status, the Master became a member of the High Council in the position of Cardinal of the Prydonian Chapter. (TV: Behind the Looking Glass)

Around this time, the Doctor and the Master terminated their friendship after the Doctor saw the Master for who he truly was. After this, the Master sought to seek revenge for the Doctor not joining him in his quest for power. (MOVIE: Doctor Who: Revelation)

The Master finally got his chance when the Doctor was forced to contact the Time Lords to help stop the War Lord. During the trial for the War Lord, he listened as a Time Lord read out the crimes committed but assured everyone that the humans had been returned to their proper times. After The Doctor read his statement and The War Lord attempted to defend his actions, The Master and the two other Time Lords sentenced to erasure from history.

The Master attended The Doctor's trial and learned of how he was willing to help others and fight evil. After this he and the other Time Lord allowed The Doctor to say goodbye to Jamie and Zoe. After deciding The Doctor's fate The Master sentenced The Doctor to exile on Earth in the 20th Century and To forceful regeneration. (TV: The War Games; MOVIE: Doctor Who: Revelation)

Not long after this The Master attempted a coup to overthrow Lord President Slaan, however this plan failed and the Master decided to flee Gallifrey. However as he did so The Master was shot and killed, however he managed to get away in his TARDIS before regenerating into his next incarnation. (MOVIE: Doctor Who: Revelation)

Confrontations with Leftover

The Master's TARDIS crash landed in 2004, California. Soon after, he got word that some of the Doctor's past companions were working together in an extraterrestrial dectetive agency, and the Master realised they were the only ones who could help repair his broken dematerialisation circuit. So, the Master disguised his TARDIS as a police box and himself as a future incarnation of the Doctor.

The Master had the TARDIS taken by van to Los Angeles and he faked a materialisation using old fashioned show-biz techniques, he was in Hollywood after all, and upon leaving his TARDIS he was greeted by the Leftover team who, much to the Master's joy, believed him to be The Doctor.

Eventually, however, he began to arouse the suspicions of the Leftover team, due to slight anachronisms in his personality and eventually they discovered his identity, despite the majority of them never having met the Master. Leftover handed the Master over to UNIT and they locked him away in a high security prison underneath the Statue of Liberty. (TV: The Future's Truth)

Some time later, The Master was interrogated by UNIT Officers Ruth Matheson and Charlie Quenz. However, he managed to hypnotise them and escape his imprisonment. Discovering that UNIT had his TARDIS, he used it to escape and using stolen UNIT technology he repaired the dematerialisation circuit. (TV: Mastermind, Part I)

However when he attempted to leave for Gallifrey, the Master discovered that UNIT had found a way in and tampered with the dematerialisation circuit so that it could only travel on earth, meaning that he was stuck on earth. The Master went into hiding and tried to repair the fault, however Leftover, with help from UNIT, tracked him down and attempted to kill him. However, The Rogue arrived and took the Master back to Gallifrey to face trial. (TV: Mastermind, Part II)

Taking Over Gallifrey

The Master, managed to escape his trial and stole a TARDIS, ending up saving the crew of the HT-1408 during a battle with the Gallifreyan Union. (TV: On the Eve of War, Here I Am) The Master decided he could use them to his advantage and manipulated events so Francs would become Lord President and he could control him as his puppet while also having the Doctor imprisoned. (TV: Auribus Teneo Lupum; The Winner's Protector)

Acting In The Shadows

When The Master learned that The Rani and Ace were attempting to discover the truth about Francs he went after them and stopped them from doing anything, he then kidnapped The Rani and took her to his TARDIS. (TV: May Fortune Favour The Bold; Behind The Looking Glass)

Once The Rani regained consciousness The Master began to interrogate her in an attempt to discover how much she knew and if it was worth the risk releasing her back on to Gallifrey. During this The Master was manipulated into revealing the truth, he then attempted to stop The Doctor and The Rogue from rescuing The Rani But failed. (TV: Behind The Looking Glass)

After this The Master began to persue The Rani and Ace and followed them through various periods in Earth's history. He finnaly cornered them in Perivale and attempted to kill them, however The Rani saved Ace and escaped with The Master leaving Ace and Pershing her. (TV:Daemons Of The Past)

The Master returns to Gallifrey and learns that The Doctor and The Rogue May attempt to get back on to Gallifrey. He then throws the planet back into quarantine and hides inside Franc's office. Later on two guards enter and reveal themselves to be The Doctor and The Rogue. The Master then takes a sword and stabs The Rogue. The Doctor tries to apprehend him, but they both enter a fist fight. The Master gets the upper hand and attempts to strangle the Doctor, However he's stabbed from behind by The Rogue who’d just regenerated.
