Emerging from the [[Last Great Time War]] as | Emerging from the [[Last Great Time War]] as the apparent sole survivor, the '''Ninth Doctor''' was forever haunted by what he had witnessed in the Time War and the immense guilt he felt over his belief that her had destroyed [[Gallifrey]] and killed all the [[Time Lord]]s and [[Dalek]]s, supressing the memory of [[War Doctor|the man he had been]] in the Time War as he tied to move forward and make amends with his actions in the conflict. While he projected a jovial and friendly demeanour during good moods, the Doctor tended to brood and act rudely as he navigated through the [[Post-Time War universe]]. | ||
As he collected and fixed the flotsam and jetsam of the Time War, the Doctor was content to skulk in the shadows instead of facing his challenges, even denying himself a companion as penance for his wartime crimes. However, as he began to heal from the Time War and embrace his second chance, the Doctor began to make new friends as he opened himself up to finding a potential companion, offering up the TARDIS to the likes of [[Adriana Jarsdel]], [[Nova (Sphere of Freedom)|Nova]] and [[Fred (Planet of the End)|Fred]]. After reunions with [[the Brigadier]] and [[Liv Chenka]] ended with them convincing him to find a new companion, the Doctor found himself being accompanied by [[Callen Lennox]] and his dog, [[Doyle (Red Darkness)|Doyle]], when he had to help them find a new home. After they settled down on [[New Earth]], the Doctor resumed his solitary travels, though now more hopeful. | |||
[[Rose Tyler]] | When he thwarted the [[Nestene Consciousness]]'s [[Operation Mannequin|invasion attempt]] of [[London]] on [[5 March]] [[2005]], the Doctor asked [[Rose Tyler]], a [[shop assistant]] who had assisted him in defeating the Nestene after he had blown up [[Henrik's|her shop]], to join him in the TARDIS, and she accepted when he told her it could [[time travel]]. After taking her to the [[end of the world]] and [[1869]] [[Cardiff]], the Doctor accidently returned Rose to her home at the [[Powell Estate]] a year late, putting in the bad graces of her mother, [[Jackie Tyler|Jackie]], and her ex-boyfriend, [[Mickey Smith]]. However, they were able to put their tension aside to foil the [[Slitheen family]]'s [[London UFO crash|attempt]] to destroy the [[Earth]] for profit. | ||
When a distress signal brought him to [[Henry van Statten]]'s [[The Vault (Dalek)|Vault]] in [[2012]] [[Utah]], the Doctor found [[Metaltron|a Dalek]] had survived the Time War, but it destroyed itself after it absorbed the [[human factor]] from Rose. At Rose's request, the Doctor allowed van Statten's [[researcher]], [[Adam Mitchell]], into the TARDIS, but he was swiftly evicted when he tried to filch information from [[Satellite Five]] for his own benefit and refused to take responsibility for his actions. Rose also faced banishment afterwards when she, in a moment of high emotion, prevented [[Pete Tyler|her father]]'s death in [[1987]], but a [[Reaper]]s allowed them to make amends when her father set history back on track. Adam then returned to exact revenge on the Doctor for booting him from the TARDIS by trying to kill all his other companions, but he redeemed himself by sacrificing his live to defeat the [[Tremas Master]]. | |||
After | After they faced the [[Kotturuh crisis]], the Doctor and Rose were accidentally scammed by the ex-[[Time Agent]] Captain [[Jack Harkness]], who helped them resolve the [[Empty Child plague]] he had unleashed, and welcomed him on board the TARDIS after they rescued him from an exploding [[Chula warship]]. As they helped recover Jack's memories that were wiped by the [[Time Agency]], the trio was joined by [[UNIT]] soldier [[Tara Mishra]]. | ||
Eventually, the Doctor, Rose and Jack were drawn back to Satellite Five in [[200,100]], where they learnt that that the [[Dalek Emperor in the Last Great Time War|Dalek Emperor]] had rebuilt the [[Dalek Empire]] by manipulating the [[Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire]] to its advantage. While the Doctor built a [[delta wave generator]] to destroy the Daleks, albeit at the cost of all life on Earth, Jack was killed leading [[Battle of the Game Station|a resistance]] against the Daleks. Despite sending her back to the Powell Estate to ensure her saftery, Rose absorbed the power of the [[Time Vortex]] through the [[heart of the TARDIS]] and became the [[Bad Wolf (entity)|Bad Wolf entity]], allowing her to destroy the Daleks. The Doctor absorbed the energy out of her and into himself to prevent it burning her up, forcing him to [[regenerate]] into a [[Tenth Doctor|new body]] in order to survive. | |||

When the [[Third Doctor]] met [[Jackie Tyler]] while answering a distress call in [[2006]], he learnt that one of his future incarnations would meet and travel with a girl named [[Rose Tyler]], and would also regenerate whilst in her company.

Searching for a place to gather his thoughts on the outcome of the Time War, the Doctor went to [[Galen]], where he found that something was causing the people on the planet to want to kill. Teaming up with news reporter [[Adriana Jarsdel]], he found that it was being caused by a rift in interstitial space, created by [[Rassilon]] and the Time Lords during the Time War to trap a race called the [[Compassionate]]. Setting his war incarnation's sonic screwdriver to explode, the Doctor prepared to throw himself into the rift to seal it, and sacrifice himself in the process, but was intercepted by Adriana, who took the screwdriver and sacrificed herself instead. In doing so, they managed to seal the rift and left the Compassionate trapped on the other side, unable to influence the universe any more.

Finally arriving in [[1925]] to visit the set of [[Metropolis (film)|Metropolis]], the Doctor was surprised to find that [[Gustav Fröhlich]] has not been cast as the film's male lead, and horrified that [[Cyberman (Monsters in Metropolis)|a Cyberman]] was being used in place of the iconic robotic woman, under the guise of a "Machine Man" operated by [[Dieter Jovanovic]]. He intially assumed the Cyberman was controlling Jovanovic, and his suspicions appeared to be confirmed when the Cybermen killed the lead actor of the movie and escaped. He tracked him down together with Jovanovic, but he was surprised and ambushed by him: it was actually Jovanovic who had taken control of a dispersed and alone Cyberman, whose humanity was resurfacing. Jovanovic intended to use him to stop the production of a movie he felt "unpatriotic", because it promoted peace. The Doctor was able to break Jovanovic's grip on the Cyberman, and disabled him out of pity after they watched together the finished film. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Monsters in Metropolis (audio story)|Monsters in Metropolis]]'') | |||
Making good to his promise, the Doctor showed up to Beckett's funeral at Fond Farewell, when an avatar of the Professor's consciousness was also in attendance. He got suspicious when the Professor didn't recognize either him or Sasha, so he investigated into Fond Farewell suspecting foul play from one of his enemies. However, it turned out that the wife of the Professor asked to remove from his husband's mind the memory of their last months in order to forget his cheating, but the discarded memories took hold of the Attendants robots and started attacking people. The Doctor confronted the wife and convinced to let the Professor regain his memory, so they could have a real goodbye. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Fond Farewell (audio story)|Fond Farewell]]'') | |||

After going too close to a temporal contusion, something got past the TARDIS's defences, causing it to misbehave. The Doctor decided to chase after it, leading him to an abandoned train station. There, he met [[Saffron Windrose]], who had been trapped there by [[the Grimminy-Grew]], which also trapped the Doctor by altering space so that the TARDIS was not where the Doctor had left it. Both the Doctor and Saffron experienced strange temporal dislocations, seeing people taken from different time periods who were unable to see or hear them. The Doctor and Saffron were able to reach the other people trapped by the Grew and, by speaking to them, were able to deduce that the Grew had been able to trap them because they were unable to make an important choice in their lives or were making a choice that they knew they would regret. [[Hodkin|Mrs Hodkin]], one of the people trapped by the Grew, told the Doctor that she heard its song about the Sileroon which helped him to identify who the Grew was. The Doctor challenged the Grew to a thought battle in which each took turns guessing the other's true name, with the loser to be cast into oblivion. The Doctor correctly guessed the Grew's real name on his third attempt, defeating the creature. The power the Grew had over the station dissipated, sending all of the trapped people back to the points they had been taken from. The Doctor and Saffron then said their goodbyes as they parted ways, with the Doctor leaving in his TARDIS. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Station to Station (audio story)}}) | |||
The TARDIS picked up a strange signal leading to the [[Kremlin]] in [[1605]] just after the murder of [[Boris Fyodorovich Godunov]]. The Doctor examined Boris's body after [[Oksana Vladimirovna Kuznetsova]] told him how the murder happened. He then saw how [[Grishka]] killed Boris's heir and [[Aleksander Petrovich Kuznetsov]] told him what he knew of Grishka, including the relics he had stolen. He realised following the description of the orb in Grishka's chest that it was an alien control orb. After learning about Grishka's humanity still being inside the body, he wanted to save him. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The False Dimitry (audio story)}}) | |||
The Doctor landed on a space station orbiting [[Venus]] and met [[Lenni Fisk]] shortly before [[Pal Andrews]] froze [[Kenton (Break the Ice)|Kenton]]. He became worried when he realised that Kenton was technically dead. He tried to isolate the rest of the crew and set the TARDIS adrift. He realised that the creature was the entity known on Earth as [[Jack Frost]]. Lenni and the Doctor devised a plan to stop Frost using an exothermic reaction of Venus's sulphuric acid and water. He told Frost that he witnessed the [[Winter Lord]]s' destruction during the Time War. He and Lenni jumped out of the space station without space suits to jump into the TARDIS. He took her to [[Jeanie (Break the Ice)|Jeanie]] and to her son to get him the treatment he needed. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Break the Ice (audio story)}}) | |||
He posed as the caretaker for a country estate in the North of England. He tried to convince [[Mandy Litherland]] not to investigate the house. He had organised for fireworks to be set off at midnight. After learning that Mandy wanted to travel and gave her a baton to return a year later.{{What?}} On this second visit, he protected her from the antibodies and showed her that the house was temporarily unstable and that he needed her help to stop it, so he kept inviting her back to the house. He missed a year which caused a problem with his plans. He realised that the house was merged with a damaged time ship. He helped [[Frank (Auld Lang Syne)|Frank]] become a real person and not a manifestation of the broken time machine. The Doctor wanted to invite Mandy to travel with her but knew that she would not accept if she knew she could not return to the house. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Auld Lang Syne (audio story)}}) | |||
He went to [[Salvation Nine (moon)|Salvation Nine]] for relaxation but discovered a peaceful community of a race descended from [[Sontaran]]s called the [[Niner]]s. He was impressed at how they had evolved, having forgotten anything of battle and developed agriculture and music among other things. He then learnt that the moon was going to be destroyed by the [[Free Galactic Alliance]] to wipe out the population of what they believed to be Sontarans. He tried to convince them that the Niners were peaceful and should not be destroyed, but was unable to convince them, only being able to buy time. He discovered that the moon was originally inhabited by another race, but they were wiped out by the Sontarans when they first crashed. He was about to allow the Niners to be destroyed until he discovered their birthing grounds and realised that they had truly become a new species. He presented this to the Alliance, but they were unconvinced. As a last resort, he abducted a Sontaran Field Marshal so that he would disown the Niners as Sontarans. He was able to do so by showing him the process the Niner birthing grounds, saving the Niners at the last minute. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Salvation Nine (audio story)}}) | |||
He went to [[Delius]]' shop to get a part for his TARDIS, but was mistaken for a vet by [[Selo]], to look at the last Zetacene Swine.{{What?}} He wanted to save it and repopulate the species. After helping [[Nel]] with her [[asthma]] attack, she told him about what Selo was doing. He devised a plan with Nel to win the Swine to save it. He became worried when the Zetacene was let out. He worked out a way to pacify the Zetacene. He realised that Sela was using the Zetacene to kill her friends to gain their wealth. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Last of the Zetacene (audio story)}}) | |||
The Doctor landed in a submarine in a sea on [[Titan]]. He helped [[Rachel Bates]] and [[Diana Hendry]] improve the submarine to allow a deeper dive into the seas. Taking a trip with Diana, they encountered a massive living creature and then a colony of [[Sea Devil]]s. He learnt that the humans' pollution from mining was causing illness amongst the Sea Devils and their retaliation was the illness spreading through the human colony. He recognised it as a derivative of the [[Silurian plague]]. He tried to encourage a peace between the two species and, after some difficulty, managed to succeed. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Seas of Titan (audio story)}}) | |||
He stayed at the [[Bad Homburg Spa]] and was employed by [[Bertha Kinzky]] to teach her opera. After helping Bertha save the life of a drowning victim,{{What?}} he was intrigued at the burnt cabbage smell of the bathing salts. He learnt that [[Trinity (Lay Down Your Arms)|Trinity]] had been using Ignus Furite to create soldiers from the guests of the hotel. He saw that they were getting them to fight each other, as proxies for their own war as they could risk being fined by the Shadow Proclamation. He used the Emerald Pacifite byproduct to counteract the effect. He then told the Shadow Proclamation what had happened. He tried to convice Bertha to become a novelist. He watched her acceptance speech for her Nobel prize. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Lay Down Your Arms (audio story)}}) | |||
He was investigating [[Flatpack (store)]] when he encountered [[Liv Chenka]] and [[Tania Bell]]. He immediately told them to leave. They couldn't find the exit despite many attempts. They decided to go back to the TARDIS but discovered it had been displaced.{{What?}} He was intrigued by how the store was anomalous. He theorised that everyone in the world had come to Flatpack, and that they were still in there. He theorised that the building was [[Dimensional transcendentalism|dimensionally transcendental]]. He asked to see the Manager and was taken to [[Colleague One]]. After seeing the future version of Liv he worked out the shop came from the future and that it was a system to keep people shopping. He nearly became a permanent part of Flatpack until Liv was able to destroy Flatpack and free everyone in it. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Flatpack (audio story)}}) | |||

The Doctor and Rose travelled to the site of Rose's estate before it was built in [[1966]] London. They discovered someone had been changing history, and a housing development called [[Brandon Mews]] had been built on the estate's future, even though there should have been nothing there except fields. The Doctor went to a pub to check ''[[The Daily Mirror]]'' for any other alterations to history, and discovered the [[football]] score in the [[1966 World Cup|World Cup]] had [[England]] scoring an extra goal against [[West Germany]]. | The Doctor and Rose travelled to the site of Rose's estate before it was built in [[1966]] London.

After the TARDIS fell through a [[Time Fracture]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Tales of the Dark Times (comic story)|Tales of the Dark Times]]'') the Doctor and Rose arrived on a shadow planetoid during the [[Eternal War]], where they were captured by [[Space Lord]] forces led by [[Rassilon]].

Grystock took the Doctor before the Sisters, who had turned Rose into a vampire, but she had also beaten them and then made to attack the Doctor as an attack of Gallifreyan forces enabled him to gain the upper hand and send her to sleep.

Investigating further, he followed [[Nancy (The Empty Child)|Nancy]], a [[homeless]] young woman who was feeding homeless children by stealing from people's meals that were left fresh on their tables, as they hid during air raids. She was being chased by a child in a gas mask who was terrifying her, and seemed to be endangering people. Nancy told the Doctor the "bomb that wasn't a bomb" landed near [[Limehouse Green station]]. Following Nancy's advice, the Doctor went to the nearby Albion Hospital. There, he found living dead creatures, with gas masks fused to their face, and identical symptoms, including a scar on the hand in the same place as the child that pursued Nancy. | ||

When an [[Twelfth Doctor (Four Doctors)|alternate version]] of the [[Twelfth Doctor]] attempted to trap his post-Time War incarnations in various [[Alternate timelines (Four Doctors)|alternate timelines]] so that he could manipulate their minds to ensure his existence, he was unable to target the Ninth Doctor.

Behind his war-torn demeanour, however, he was one of the nobler incarnations, with not even a [[continuity bomb]] able to find a timeline where he was "anything less than fantastic", ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Four Doctors (comic story)|Four Doctors]]'') and him willingly returning the power of the [[Time Vortex]] to the [[heart of the TARDIS]] after saving Rose from burning up by absorbing the power into himself, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Parting of the Ways (TV story)|The Parting of the Ways]]'') despite the [[Tenth Doctor]] claiming that a Time Lord would become a "vengeful god" if they absorbed such powers.

Preferring to be in the present, ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of the World (TV story)|The End of the World]]'') the Ninth Doctor would make decision in the heat of the moment, focusing more on emotion rather than logic.
