{{Roberts|n=The Bruce Master}} claimed to [[Chang Lee]] that the Doctor had taken most of his [[regeneration]]s whilst the Doctor told [[Grace Holloway]] that the Master was both "on his last life" and had "[ran] out of all his lives". In their ensuing [[Regeneration Operation|confrontation]], the Master claimed that it was because of the Doctor that he had "wasted all [his] lives". The Doctor challenged this, reminding Lee that the Master claimed that he had stolen those lives when the reality was that the Master sought the Doctor's remaining lives after having "used all his lives", noting that the Master himself had just admitted to wasting "all of them".

[[File:FASA9002First-FifthMaster(700yo).jpg|thumb|The first to fifth incarnations of the Master, ([[NOTVALID]]: ''[[The Doctor Who Role Playing Game]]'') based on an image of {{Delgado|n=Roger Delgado's Master}} from ''[[The Mind of Evil (TV story)|The Mind of Evil]]''.]] | |||
''[[The Doctor Who Role Playing Game]]'' by [[FASA]], which admits to taking liberties with the source material in its opening pages, gives a rundown of the Master's first thirteen [[incarnation]]s in "[[The Master (reference book)|The Master]]" supplement book, which was similar to (but not entirely consistent with) the in-universe biography given for [[the Master]] in FASA's own ''[[CIA File Extracts (novel)|CIA File Extracts]]''. | |||
According to the book, the Master could control the form of his incarnations, and frequently used the same face. His first to fourth incarnations lived on [[Gallifrey]], working as a [[scientist]] and temporal [[researcher]] which entailed a great deal of field work in which he encountered more than his fair share of accidents and dangers, forcing him into [[regeneration]] far more frequently than most [[Time Lord]]s. | |||
This constant form was described as a handsome, apparently middle-aged man distinguished by his tall and slim build with square-cut features, [[grey]]ing [[hair]], piercing grey [[eye]]s, his [[aristocrat]]ic bearing and aloof [[manner]]. The Fifth Master kept the same face as his predecessors, but lasted over four-hundred-years due to his retirement, showing signs of age as the [[year]]s went by. He eventually regenerated, aged over 700-years-old, when his rebellion on Gallifrey failed and forced him to become a [[Renegade Time Lord|renegade]], with [[the War Chief]] among his followers. His next two incarnations appeared as a [[First Monk|clean-shaven Monk]], whilst the next six returned to a bearded appearance. | |||
