Working With The Eleventh Doctor

The Rogue aided the Doctor in gaining the trust of the other Time Lords and the members of the High Council. He was present when the Poplne arrived and demanded their agent back from the Order Of Rassilon. (DW: Lord President of Gallifrey; The Order of Rassilon)

The Rogue along with Leela, K-9 MKI and Francs were sent to the frontline of the war between the Poplne and Bellonsions to deliver the five-billion weapons that the Poplne Ordered.

Personality

The Rogue was an enigmatic and sinister Time Lord that was perpetually hungry for power and control. He was highly intelligent and manipulative, capable of influencing anyone with words, and seductive offers of letting them live happily but at terrible costs. He was arrogant, thinking himself as superior to all beings and taking all other life forms for granted. Behind his charismatic and charming demeanour, The Rogue was extremely vain and narcissistic with an exceptionally heightened sense of his own brilliance, as The Doctor stated that he had "something of a god-complex". He maintained a calm and level-headed persona, but was prone to emotional outbursts when angered. The Rogue had no guilt or remorse for using individuals for his personal gain and then killing them once they became loose ends to keep them from going public with information he wouldn't otherwise want. The Rogue had a deep and constant rivalry with the Doctor, until, after helping the Doctor stop Rassilon from destroying Gallifrey, the Rogue become the Doctor's Vice President, and as over time, they worked together, and got to know each other better, the Rogue took onboard the Doctor's morals and values, slowly, and by the time he become Lord President, he was neither self-centred nor entirely unsympathetic however he was willing to stoop to any low and was willing to break Gallifreyan laws, only ever doing what he thought best. In spite of his reformation, the Rogue was still an amoral schemer with especially corrupt tendencies.
