Editing Koschei (Rebel Rebel)

{{stub}}{{Mastertemplate}}[[Chris Cwej]] and [[Frey (Barnyard of the Cyberons)|Frey]] liberated a "'''Koschei'''" with green eyes and a dark beard from [[the Tower]].

[[Koschei]] was a name used by [[the Master]] prior to taking on the latter title. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Dark Path (novel)|The Dark Path]]'') Koschei had been locked there by the [[Superior]]s as punishment for "a silly prank gone wrong", in the bathroom of a bar on an underlevel of the Tower. After an argument, the friend escaped, leaving Koschei behind. He was later found by Cwej and Frey during the [[V-Time]] era. Frey was dying because, as an [[Ephem]], she needed regular infusions of Superior [[biodata]]: Koschei offered to give her his own and lead them out of the dungeon, on the condition that Cwej promise to listen to Koschei's words on a future date. Later, when Cwej was using the [[Tree of Life (Rebel Rebel)|Tree of Life]] to undo the [[Cwejen]] [[Uprising (The Aftermath)|Uprising]], Koschei spoke through Frey telepathically, distracting Cwej; as a result, only half the events of the Uprising were undone, resulting in an unstable new status quo. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Rebel Rebel (short story)|Rebel Rebel]]'')

By the time he met the [[Second Doctor]] on what would be his final adventure under that name, Koschei had [[Regeneration|regenerated]] into a form identical ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Dark Path (novel)|The Dark Path]]'') to that he wore as [[the Master (Terror of the Autons)|the Master]] in his rivalry with the [[Third Doctor]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Terror of the Autons (TV story)|Terror of the Autons]]'', etc.) although his encounter with the Second Doctor seemed to end in this body's apparent death and the loss of several [[regeneration]]s to the [[Darkheart]], suggesting that they may not have technically been the same [[incarnation]].
