<!--For the introduction brief, avoid using story links, as this paragraph is a reflection of how the Doctor lived their life, and thus covers a wider range than goes beyond a single story entry.-->

== Biography ==

=== A day to come ===

<!--This section if for the hints and teases the Doctor finds out about his future regenerations, as well as incidents where he almost regenerates into his next incarnation. Multi-Doctor events do not belong in this section, as such events are removed from the younger Doctor's memory and he forgets the encounter, though trace memories may count.-->

The [[First Doctor]] would occasionally have premonitions of his future incarnations, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Big Hand for the Doctor (short story)|A Big Hand for the Doctor]]'') and there was a rumour that he was able to glimpse as far as his eighth incarnation during a game of [[Eighth Man Bound]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Christmas on a Rational Planet (novel)|Christmas on a Rational Planet]]'', ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'')

The First Doctor was shown footage of the Eighth Doctor, as well as his ten other successors, by the [[Testimony]] when he expressed doubt over the [[Twelfth Doctor]]'s identity. ([[TV]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'')

[[Mawdryn]] attempted to force the [[Fifth Doctor]] to use up his eight remaining [[regeneration]]s to end his follower's cycle of perpetual rebirth, but this was rendered unnecessary when [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]] made physical contact with his younger self and a discharge of temporal energy was released that allowed Mawdryn and his followers to die. ([[TV]]: ''[[Mawdryn Undead (TV story)|Mawdryn Undead]]'')

[[File:8thDoctor relaxing end of TVM.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor relaxes after his first adventure. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'')]]

=== New adventures ===

Leaving San Francisco, the Doctor fell victim to a last trap set by the Master, causing yet another case of amnesia. He found himself travelling to different past points in his own timeline, encountering his previous incarnations to regain his memories via telepathic contact with each past incarnation. During these visits, he also offered the past Doctors advice and assistance, even securing the release of [[Borusa]] from the [[Tomb of Rassilon]] while arranging an inquiry into the trial of his [[sixth incarnation]]. At the end of this journey, [[Rassilon]] revealed that he had been guiding the Doctor's journeys to make some changes to the [[Web of Time|pattern of history]]; the Doctor regained his memories and acquired a new companion, [[Sam Jones]], a young woman from the same [[Shoreditch]] neighbourhood in which he lived in during his first incarnation. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Eight Doctors (novel)|The Eight Doctors]]'') Since the Doctor had inadvertently changed his own timeline by travelling through it, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Alien Bodies (novel)|Alien Bodies]]'') the [[Rassilon|"Great Grey Eminence"]] made a deal with the [[Faction Paradox]] to fold the Doctor's [[timeline]] back on itself and rewrite [[Gallifreyan history]], at least according to the [[Book of Lies]]. The [[boy (Unnatural History)|Boy]] suggested that, as part of the Eminence's plan to re-sterilise Gallifrey, he arranged for the Doctor to travel with Sam rather than [[Grace Holloway|someone]] who would dare to "[[sex|screw]]" him. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Unnatural History (novel)|Unnatural History]]'') However, the Doctor would periodically take several "side trips" between his adventures with Sam. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Seeing I (novel)|Seeing I]]'')

The Doctor and Sam visited [[Stonehenge]] during its construction, where they discovered that it was being built by slave labour. The Doctor was captured after Sam interrupted a human sacrifice and was taken to [[Coyn]], the tribal chieftain obsessed with building the temple, and convinced him to let the slaves go free. He then put an end to the rebellion Sam had inadvertently started. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The People's Temple (short story)|The People's Temple]]'')

The Doctor and Sam landed on [[Eros]], where they were captured by Queen [[Asheya]], fell in love with the Doctor and desired to make him her consort. When the Doctor was challenged to a duel to the death for Asheya's hand, he promised Asheya he would stay if he won. However, Asheya realised that he did not want to stay, and gave him back his freedom. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Queen of Eros (short story)|The Queen of Eros]]'')

While walking through a forest, the Doctor was attacked by [[time flies]], but was saved by his [[twelfth incarnation]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[A Stitch in Time (CC comic story)|A Stitch in Time]]'')

=== Fight against the Threshold ===

[[File:End_Game_doctor_fights_relection.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor fights with his own reflection. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Endgame (DWM comic story)|Endgame]]'')]]

On their first adventure, they went to the distant future of Earth in the [[51st century]], where they managed to traverse a pirate-infested wasteland and reach [[the Keep]], a mysterious source of power in the middle of nowhere. Within, they found the genius, [[Crivello]], who had solved the problem of the dwindling energy Earth received from the Sun, by creating a second sun capable of providing enough energy. The Doctor helped Crivello launch the device and a secondary sun was created in the [[Crab Nebula]] to provide humanity with a new home as [[Sol]] went [[supernova]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Keep (comic story)|The Keep]]'')

The Doctor and Izzy materialised on a small satellite orbiting Crivello's sun, and witnessed an attack on it by the [[Dalek]]s. While attempting to stop the Daleks' plans, they found that another of the Doctor's enemies, the megacorp known as the [[Threshold]], had been hired to destroy the Daleks, and already had a plan in motion. This plan failed and Izzy escaped with the Threshold's payment and a portal-generating Threshold ring. She warped to the Doctor's location, and he was told of the Threshold's mission, and knew who hired them, since the box containing their payment was embossed with the [[Seal of Rassilon]]. The Doctor managed to defeat both the Daleks and the Threshold by making Crivello's sun go supernova. As the Doctor and Izzy escaped in the TARDIS, a Threshold agent appeared to remind the Doctor that the Threshold was not destroyed yet. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Fire and Brimstone (comic story)|Fire and Brimstone]]'')

=== Controller of the Glory ===

The Doctor and Izzy arrived in [[17th century]] [[Japan]] and became involved in alien research by the [[Gaijin]]. The Gaijin were working with the locals in Japan and had created the secret to immortality; millions of [[Nanoform]]s that would recreate any damaged tissue within seconds. The Doctor managed to stop the Gaijin from giving the locals immortality with the help of Samurai [[Sato Katsura]], who was injured in the conflict. The Doctor used some of the Nanoforms to heal Sato. However, the Doctor poured too many of the Nanoforms on Sato and made him [[Immortality|immortal]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Road to Hell (comic story)|The Road to Hell]]'')

=== Final adventures with Izzy ===

On the planet [[Jora]], the Doctor and Izzy stooped the [[Joran]]s scientist [[Deezer]] from destroying [[the Syntax]], a sentient language he had accidently created, reasoning that, though the Syntax had overtaken the Jorans, it had not taken away their free will, and the possibility of them being dependent on the Syntax encouraged Deezer to join with it. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Syntax (short story)|Syntax]]'')

=== Time off ===

[[File:Doc and Bish.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor chats with Bish. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Where Nobody Knows Your Name (comic story)|Where Nobody Knows Your Name]]'')]]

Shortly after leaving Izzy, a depressed Doctor went to a bar called [[Bish's]] to drown his sorrows, where he struck up a conversation with the bartender, [[Frobisher|Bish]]. After stopping a drone called [[Zalda]] from blowing herself up, Bish told him that he seemed most at home helping people. Hearing this, the Doctor decided to go on holiday. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Where Nobody Knows Your Name (comic story)|Where Nobody Knows Your Name]]'')

Visiting London in [[1840]], the Doctor met [[Spring-heeled Jack]], a [[Hunter (The Curious Tale of Spring-Heeled Jack)|Hunter]] who was searching for the scientist [[Penny Chapman|Morjanus]]. Although he had tried to steal his mind, the Doctor helped Jack to stop Morjanus from creating an experimental weapon that would wipe out the Hunters. Also succeeding in stopping the [[Pyrodine]], the genetically engineered race Morjanus planned to use as a weapon, from attacking London, the Doctor left Jack on good terms after he witnessed Jack restore Morjanus' fabricated persona to her, allowing her to live out her life as Penny Chapman in Victorian London. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Curious Tale of Spring-Heeled Jack (comic story)|The Curious Tale of Spring-Heeled Jack]]'')

=== Stacy and Ssard ===

=== Revisiting old friends ===

[[File:Dying days001.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor, shortly after destroying an Ice Warrior spaceship. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Dying Days (novel)|The Dying Days]]'')]]

=== Solo travels ===

Tracking a probe to [[Fort Casey]] in the [[Nevada]] [[desert]], the Doctor found that the town had fallen victim to the [[von Neumann seeding probe]]'s pathogen. Using his connections at UNIT to gain access past the quarantine, the Doctor ventured into Fort Casey to stop the virus at its source. Inside the town, the Doctor discovered Captain [[Evelyn Chan]], a survivor from a platoon sent in to investigate the town, and learnt from her that the probe had already begun building defensive constructs as it was entering the second stage of its infection. Realising that the third stage would result in the construction of an intelligence matrix, thereby making communication a possibility, the Doctor established communication with the probe, and tricked it into allowing him to destroy it. Returning Chan to the military roadblock, the Doctor promised to look in on her in the future. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Spore (short story)|Spore]]'')

=== The War with the Enemy ===

After picking Sam up from the rally, the Doctor went to [[1997]] San Francisco after being summoned by [[Carolyn McConnell]], where they encountered a rogue group of Vampires. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Vampire Science (novel)|Vampire Science]]'') They then visited [[Victorian era]] [[London]] where they, with the help of [[George Litefoot]], stopped a [[Zygon]] plot to conquer the Earth with [[Skarasen]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Bodysnatchers (novel)|The Bodysnatchers]]'')

=== Adventures with Fitz and Anji ===

By [[2001]], the TARDIS had regained its original appearance, with the Doctor reuniting with Fitz, just as the note had said, on February 8 2001, in the [[St Louis Bar and Restaurant|St Louis Bar & Grill]]. Initially distracted helping Fitz's new acquaintance, [[Anji Kapoor]], rescue her boyfriend, [[Dave Young]], when he became caught up in a planned [[Kulan]] invasion of Earth. After Dave was killed and Fitz was captured by the Kulan, the TARDIS completed its interior regeneration, allowing the Doctor and Anji to travel up to their fleet. Unfortunately, the invasion was only defeated when Anji accidentally tricked the entire fleet into firing on each other as she didn't realise that the mothership had full control of all weapons in the fleet, forcing the Doctor, Fitz and Anji to flee into the TARDIS as the Kulan destroyed themselves. With the Doctor's control of the TARDIS still awkward and his arrival in the Kulan fleet more luck than judgement, the Doctor and Fitz were left to accept the reluctant Anji as their new companion. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Escape Velocity (novel)|Escape Velocity]]'')

=== Combating the Council of Eight ===

While on Earth in the [[18th century]], the Doctor's heart was removed by [[Sabbath]], ostensibly to save the Doctor's life as it seemingly began to poison him by trying to link to a home world that no longer existed, but also to allow Sabbath to travel through time by planting it in himself. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Adventuress of Henrietta Street (novel)|The Adventuress of Henrietta Street]]'') This caused the Doctor to lose many of his Time Lord abilities, such as his [[respiratory bypass system]], although he eventually came to adapt to this loss and recognise that he was defined by what he did rather than his physical limitations. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Hope (novel)|Hope]]'')

=== Final adventures with Fitz and Trix ===

After defeating the Council, the Doctor, Fitz and Trix went to [[Espero]]. While there, the Doctor was offered to have his memories restored by Madam [[Xing]], which he refused. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Halflife (novel)|Halflife]]'')

=== Adventuring alone ===

The Doctor listened to [[Brad Travers]]'s story of when he encountered the Seventh Doctor, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Inmate 280 (short story)|Inmate 280]]'') and met [[Fey Truscott-Sade]] in an adventure involving [[psychic weasel]]s in [[Russell Square]]. The Doctor gave her a [[Stattenheim Summoner]] – a device, disguised as a tin whistle, that could contact [[the Doctor's TARDIS]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Tooth and Claw (comic story)|Tooth and Claw]]'')

=== Temporary companions ===

The Doctor spent a Christmas with Bernice Summerfield and his brother, [[Irving Braxiatel]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[...Be Forgot (short story)|...Be Forgot]]'')

Alone again, the Doctor returned to Earth and gained two companions: brother and sister [[Gemma Griffin|Gemma]] and [[Samson Griffin]], whom he met in [[Folkestone Library|a library]] in [[Folkestone]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Terror Firma (audio story)|Terror Firma]]'') While in the company of the siblings, the Doctor received a distress signal from another Time Lord and left the two behind in [[Vienna]] to investigate. He arrived in [[1816]] where he found [[Mary Shelley]] and a future version of himself that had been badly hurt and mutated as a result of a [[temporal storm]]. After saving his future self, the Doctor invited Mary to travel with him. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Mary's Story (audio story)|Mary's Story]]'')

Skagra stole the Doctor's TARDIS, taking Romana with him to his command ship elsewhere. Creating a primitive form of [[dimensional stabiliser]] for Skagra's other ship and giving it the ability to dematerialise, the Doctor followed Skagra. Using ''The Worshipful and Ancient Law of Gallifrey'' as a "key", Skagra left for the Time Lord [[prison planet]], [[Shada]], to take the mind of the criminal, [[Salyavin]], to make all inhabitants of the universe share Skagra's mind. Discovering [[Chronotis' TARDIS]] on board the command ship, the Doctor chased after him. After arriving, Skagra stole the mind of the Professor, who was actually Salyavin. Skagra began placing fragments of the minds he had stolen into his [[Krarg]] servants.

Samson and Gemma continued to travel with the Doctor for a time, visiting [[Porteus]] and [[Murgatroyd]], the ice caves of [[Shabadabadon]], the court of Queen [[Elizabeth I]], prehistoric Earth and [[Studio 54]]. After visiting [[Valuensis]], they encountered a [[Nekkistani]] time vessel in the vortex. Whilst aboard, Gemma was captured by [[Davros]] and forced to do his bidding. Aboard the TARDIS, she altered the Doctor's memories under Davros' instruction and forced him to take Davros to Earth. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Terror Firma (audio story)|Terror Firma]]'')

=== A broken web of time ===

Still within the vortex, without any memory of Samson and Gemma, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Terror Firma (audio story)|Terror Firma]]'') the Doctor noticed the exploding ship stuck in a time loop and beset by a horde of [[Vortisaur]]s feeding off its temporal energy. He attempted to nudge the ship out of the loop, only to draw the attention of the predators to his TARDIS, forcing him to make an emergency materialisation. Landing within the ballast tanks of the British [[airship]], he discovered that he was on board the ''[[R101]]'' during its maiden voyage on [[5 October]] [[1930]]. Exploring further, he encountered [[Charlotte Pollard]], a self-described "Edwardian adventuress." The Doctor knew the fate of the airship and that everyone on it was supposed to die in its crash, but decided he didn't have it in him to leave Charley to her fate after she helped him get to the bottom of a conspiracy aboard the ship involving the [[Triskele]] race and the British government. Escaping the crash together, he invited her to become his companion. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Storm Warning (audio story)|Storm Warning]]'')

=== Return to the main universe ===

Back in the main universe, Davros had laid a trap for the Doctor on Earth. Davros, however, was sharing his mind with the Dalek Emperor and had become mentally unstable; the Doctor managed to exploit this instability and made the Dalek Emperor side of Davros' mind dominant. The Daleks then agreed to leave Earth rather than be defeated by the Doctor. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Terror Firma (audio story)|Terror Firma]]'')

On the American frontier, the Doctor played poker with a future version of himself that was travelling with [[Lucie Miller]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The 100 Days of the Doctor (audio story)|The 100 Days of the Doctor]]'')

C'rizz faced many challenges in the new universe that challenged his mental state. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Something Inside (audio story)|Something Inside]]'') This eventually led to C'rizz sacrificing his life to save the Doctor from the [[Absolver]]. C'rizz's death had a negative impact on Charley and she asked the Doctor to take her home. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Absolution (BFM audio story)|Absolution]]'')

=== Alone again ===

The Doctor decided to drown his sorrows in [[Vienna]]. There, he encountered a [[Bacchanite]] who taunted him over the loss of Charley and C'rizz. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Sorrows of Vienna (short story)|The Sorrows of Vienna]]'')

=== Entrusted with Lucie Miller ===

Travelling alone, the Doctor was taken by surprise when [[Lucie Miller]] suddenly appeared in his TARDIS as part of a "witness protection scheme," much to his consternation. Immediately, he tried to return her home, but found he was unable to do so. He instead arrived on the planet [[Red Rocket Rising]]. Lucie told him that she had witnessed something, but couldn't recall what it was. Located and imprisoned by the Daleks on board their [[Dalek command ship (Blood of the Daleks)|command ship]], the Doctor agreed to help the Daleks target a factory of "[[Mutant Dalek]]s" created from humans by Professor [[Martez]].

=== Further travels with Lucie ===

The Doctor played poker with a younger version of himself travelling with Charley and C'rizz on the American frontier. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The 100 Days of the Doctor (audio story)|The 100 Days of the Doctor]]'')

=== Lying to Lucie ===

The Doctor and Luci encountered Lucie's aunt, [[Patricia Ryder]], ten years later in her personal timeline. By this time, Pat owned a lake-side hotel and was married to [[Haygoth]]. The two of them helped the Doctor defeat [[Zygon]]s who were trying to make Earth's climate closer to [[Zygor]]'s. The Zygons were defeated, but Pat died, and the Doctor and Haygoth decided to keep Lucie from the truth by having Haygoth live the rest of his life as Patricia. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Zygon Who Fell to Earth (audio story)|The Zygon Who Fell to Earth]]'')

=== Searching for a friend ===

After leaving Lucie, the Doctor decided to travel to Earth in the [[22nd century]], after the Dalek invasion, to visit his granddaughter [[Susan Foreman]] and check on her progress. When he arrived, he found that Susan had given birth to a child named [[Alex Campbell|Alex]], who was now in his late teens. The Doctor wanted Alex to have an education on Gallifrey where it would be much more beneficial to him than on Earth. Alex didn't want to go to Gallifrey, as he saw Earth as his home. After leaving Alex to continue his life on Earth, the Doctor made an attempt to get Susan to come travelling with him, to which she too declined. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[An Earthly Child (audio story)|An Earthly Child]]'')

=== Fighting the Eminence ===

The Doctor encountered Molly again in [[1918]] London, where they came across the [[Viyran]]s trying to solve a problem caused by one of their viruses. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The White Room (audio story)|The White Room]]'') They then went to the [[edge of the universe]], where they encountered [[Liv Chenka]] and [[the Eminence]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Time's Horizon (audio story)|Time's Horizon]]'') This encounter with the Eminence brought the Doctor, Liv and Molly to London in the [[1970s]], where the Doctor once again came face to face with {{Macqueen}}. The Master was working with the Time Lords to use the Eminence to fight the Daleks.

=== The Last Great Time War ===

==== Early skirmishes ====

As early as the first two months from the start of the [[Last Great Time War]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Desperate Measures (audio story)|Desperate Measures]]'') the Doctor was noted as being unwilling to assist the Time Lords in the war. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Soldier Obscura (audio story)|Soldier Obscura]]'') Eventually, the Doctor became fearful that he would lose everything he held dear in joining the war. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Museum Peace (short story)|Museum Peace]]'')

==== Travels with Bliss ====

The Doctor began travelling with [[Sheena (The Starship of Theseus)|Sheena]], eventually taking her for a luxury cruiser aboard the starship ''[[Theseus (ship)|Theseus]]''. They investigated mysterious disappearances, discovering the crew were using quicker lanes through hyperspace and appeasing the trolls that lurked there with sacrifices. Due to damage to time caused by the Time War, the ''Theseus''{{'}} purpose from being a luxury cruise liner was changed into a ship housing refugees running from the Time War. The Doctor and Sheena now discovered that members of the crew and refugees were willingly sacrificing themselves to trolls that lived in hyperspace to allow the ''Theseus'' to travel through that section of hyperspace without being attacked by the creatures. Damage to the timeline caused by the Time War continued, and Sheena's personal history changed numerous times, before she was wiped from history altogether, causing the Doctor and everyone else to completely forget about her.

The Doctor, against his will, was trained by [[Harlan (The Conscript)|Harlan]]. He spent his time trying to decrypt the gate to reach Bliss. He wanted to convince the Time Lords to stop the war as he saw it was pointless. When the Daleks attacked, he tried to convince the recruits to escape. Ollistra threatened to kill him as she thought his successor would help in the war. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Conscript (audio story)|The Conscript]]'') The Daleks intervened, having gained access to the compound. Seizing the chance, the Doctor escaped in the TARDIS with Ollistra and the ''Theseus'' survivors.

Attempting to return Bliss to the planet [[Derilobia]], the Doctor discovered that the planet's history had been changed so that it was now "dedicated" to manufacturing weapons for the Time Lords, Bliss only protected from the change because she was in the TARDIS. The Doctor soon discovered that the apparent Dalek attack on Derilobia had been faked by the Time Lord soldier [[Carvil]], so dedicated to destroying the Daleks that he could even justify destroying an innocent planet, even if he argued that the Daleks would have attacked it eventually. The Doctor destroyed the weapons factory, feeling that the moral cost of such a victory wouldn't be worth it, but was unable to restore its history. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Lords of Terror (audio story)|The Lords of Terror]]'')

After the events on [[the Planet]], the Doctor, Bliss and the Twelve were transported to a [[prison camp]] on [[Sangrey]], where they had their memories removed and were interrogated regularly. They eventually escaped after the Twelve cannibalised the technology that allowed Borton, a fellow prisoner, to live. ([[AUDIO]]: '' [[In the Garden of Death (audio story)|In the Garden of Death]]'')

The Doctor and Bliss continued travelling in the peacetime caused by the Daleks' sudden disappearance, the cause of which they could not find. Eventually, the Doctor had a vivid vision of [[the Valeyard]] fighting the Time War and went to confront Tamasan as to its meaning. She explained the Valeyard had been used by the Time Lords against the Daleks and had erased them from existence by turning a superweapon against them on [[Grahv]], only for the Time Lords to confine him to the planet in a [[time lock]]. The Doctor and Bliss stole [[Tamasan's TARDIS]] to breach the time lock and reach Grahv, discovering the Valeyard was caught in a loop in which he kept fighting recreations of Daleks, created by the effects of the superweapon, in order to fire the superweapon as per his mission, damaging his memory and restarting the loop. Discovering the [[Dalek Time Strategist (The Shadow Vortex)|Dalek Time Strategist]] had escaped erasure via a dimensional portal, the Doctor and Bliss decided to follow it, however the Valeyard chose to stay behind, as due to his altered memories within the loop, he'd become the Doctor. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The War Valeyard (audio story)|The War Valeyard]]'')

[[File:FourEightThreeForgotten.jpg|thumb|The Eighth Doctor helps face [[Es'Cartrss]] . ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Forgotten (comic story)|The Forgotten]]'')]]

During many failed attempts to duplicate the [[Tenth Doctor]], defective copies of all his past incarnations, including the Eighth Doctor, were created instead. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Breakfast at Tyranny's (comic story)|Breakfast at Tyranny's]]'')

* The Eighth Doctor rang [[Anke Von Grisel]], curator of the [[Verbier Museum of the Impossible]], warning her that the artefacts she'd collected meant that "dark times [were] coming", but she hung up on him. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Canaries (short story)|Canaries]]'')

In another alternative timeline, the Eighth Doctor settled down in San Francisco and eventually got married. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[So Vile a Sin (novel)|So Vile a Sin]]'')

In a different version of the [[Last Great Time War]], the Eighth Doctor fought to the very end, though he was aged forwards and backwards millions of years on various occasions within it. In the end, he turned to [[the Moment]], his mind made up to use it to wipe out the [[Time Lord]]s and [[Dalek]]s to put an end to the War. As [[Gallifrey|Gallifrey Original]] and the [[Dalek Fleet]] were destroyed around him, the Doctor fell through space and into the open doors of [[the Doctor's TARDIS|his TARDIS]], breaking his bones in the impact. He believed that using the Moment had made his existence fixed, preventing him from [[regenerating]], only for [[regeneration energy]] to begin engulfing him; he belatedly realised that [[the Doctor's saviour|a woman who had died saving him]] had passed on [[the Restoration]] to him, resetting his life-cycle. Shocked and exhilarated, the Eighth Doctor regenerated into the [[Ninth Doctor (Doctor Who and the Time War)|Ninth Doctor]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Time War (short story)|Doctor Who and the Time War]]'')
