Beard

Tremas, a Trakenite, sported a long grey beard when he was killed as his body was possessed by the Master. During this process, his hair shortened and changed to brown.

(TV: Time Crash)

The Tzun incarnation wore a Van Dyke beard. (PROSE: Housewarming)

Following his regeneration, (COMIC: Fast Asleep) the War Master grew a scruffy, white goatee which he wore up to the point he transformed himself into an infant human, (AUDIO: Beneath the Viscoid, The Heavenly Paradigm) who would be named "Yana". Unlike his Time Lord self, Yana remained clean-shaven after he matured, and it was in this form that the Master returned before regenerating into a brown-haired incarnation, (TV: Utopia) who would adopt the alias of "Harold Saxon". (TV: The Sound of Drums) The Saxon Master recalled his twelfth and Tremas incarnations as "Beardy One" and "Beardy Two" respectively. (PROSE: The Secret Diary of the Master) When the Twelfth Doctor later reencountered the Saxon Master, he had grown a goatee. (TV: World Enough and Time)
