Given a new regeneration cycle by the Tzun to overcome the Cheetah virus, the Master was able to regenerate after being shot by Ace.

Biography

Post-regeneration

Escaping the destruction of Cheetah World using a kitling named Shadow to transmigrate to 1957 Earth, the Master made contact with the Tzun Canton, and volunteered to help assimilate Earth into the Tzun Confederacy in return for use of the Tzun's genetic engineering to give him a new regenerative cycle and cure the Cheetah virus. Shortly afterwards, he was shot in the back by Ace, causing him to regenerate.

Following the regeneration, he was able to make his escape, summoning his TARDIS using a Stattenheim remote control built from Tzun technology. After leaving a booby-trap for the Doctor in a nuclear warhead, the Master fled (PROSE: First Frontier) to the Scoundrels Club to recover from his regeneration. (PROSE: Dismemberment)

A trap for the Doctor

Later, the Master laid a trap for the Doctor in one of the Doctor's homes using a device which would release the energy from a time fissure once the Doctor's TARDIS materialised, destroying it. The plan failed when Sarah Jane Smith, Mike Yates and K9 Mark III destroyed the device, causing the Master to flee. (PROSE: Housewarming)

The Loom of Rassilon's Mouse

The Master later obtained the Loom of Rassilon's Mouse in order to make himself a sturdier and indestructible body. However, his plan failed when a Fortean Flicker caused Bernice Summerfield's wedding to occur in the same place, exposing his scheme to her guests, with the Doctor being amongst them. However, the Master managed to escape by hypnotising Kitai into posing as a decoy. (PROSE: Happy Endings)

A body in decay

Like all of his other attempts at extending his life, the Master's Tzun-made body eventually reverted back to a decayed husk. (AUDIO: Planet of Dust)

Execution

According to one account, the Master, on his final incarnation and possessing a black goatee, was tried and executed by the Daleks, making a request for the Doctor to return his remains to Gallifrey, only to use a Deathworm Morphant to take the Doctor's TARDIS to 1999 San Francisco, where he possessed the body of an ambulance driver. (TV: Doctor Who)

Psychological profile

In contrast to his previous incarnation, the "Tzun" Master was calmer, less emotional and flustered, with a proud bearing and an inscrutable demeanour, (PROSE: First Frontier) though he would resort to a panicked state upon confronting the unexpected. (PROSE: Happy Endings) Highly manipulative, the Master would maintain control of a situation, while making others around him think he was not, (PROSE: First Frontier) though would lose this advantage when he knew he was overpowered, such as when at Bernice Summerfield and Jason Kane's wedding. (PROSE: Happy Endings)

Unlike his immediate predecessor, the "Tzun" Master was aware that his theatrical plotting could be his undoing, but found amusement in the irony rather than bitterness. (PROSE: Happy Endings)

He thought very highly of his hypnotic skills, finding it amusing when he made two guards believe he was Major Kreer. He looked down at humanity, treating them like children, and believed the concept of regeneration to be beyond them, (PROSE: First Frontier) and showed a disdain for explaining things he did not have interest in. (PROSE: Happy Endings) However, he showed some respect towards Ace, who had killed his previous incarnation, believing she would make a good enforcer and admiring her willpower. (PROSE: First Frontier) He also enjoyed fencing with Mike Yates and Sarah Jane Smith. (PROSE: Housewarming)

While he agreed with the Ice Lord Savaar that he lacked a degree of honour, the "Tzun" Master would only resort to harming others if he found an advantage in the act, opting to perform with "a considerable degree of leniency" when sabotaging Bernice and Jason's wedding until he was forced to take Bernice hostage at gunpoint during the ceremony. (PROSE: Happy Endings)

The "Tzun" Master was just as adept at winding the Doctor up as his predecessor was, claiming that the Seventh Doctor's pacifism was pure hypocrisy, (PROSE: First Frontier) and taking delight in his apparent inability to protect his friends from Bloom. (PROSE: Happy Endings) However, he did hold the Doctor in some regard, believing the Tzun incapable of overpowering him on their own, and insisting he was a threat to be eliminated, though he felt bittersweet about it, admitting to himself that the Doctor was an inspiring adversary, (PROSE: First Frontier) though reacted with horror when four variants of the Seventh Doctor confronted him at once. (PROSE: Happy Endings)

Nonetheless, the Master pointed out that the Doctor preferred to kill and destroy from a distance, such as with the Sea Devils. To prove this point, the Master handed the Doctor a blaster and baited him to shoot him at close range, which the Doctor refused to do. (PROSE: First Frontier)

Appearance and clothing

The "Tzun" Master had a high forehead, glossy moustache, neat beard, aristocratic nose and a lean face, and spoke in a rich cultured voice. (PROSE: First Frontier) He wore a Vandyke beard, a dark Italian-designed suit, a silk shirt, and a cravat with a silver bird-of-prey tiepin. (PROSE: Housewarming)
