Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
Trying to stop his future[[edit] | [edit source]]
After regenerating for the first time, the Two found out he suffered from regenerative dissonance. He travelled to Karn to consult the Sisterhood and know if he could avoid his fate. He instead found out that the Doctor would repeatedly thwart his future attempts and be in his way. Determined to stop him before it happened, he tracked him down to Earth, but the Doctor tricked him and took away his TARDIS, before leaving him to UNIT.
Eventually, though, the Two managed to escape. He deceived Harry Sullivan, making him think he was a future version of the Doctor, into studying a piece of desentherium, a mineral which could open a time corridor. Unknown to him, the War Doctor, having reverted to his sixth body due to an attack from a degeneration weapon, had appeared to investigate his condition. The Doctor resolved the experiment for him and Harry, allowing the Two to travel back to 1963 and attempt to blow up the Doctor's TARDIS with a warp bomb, which would have destroyed it, thus avoiding his future from happening. The Doctor, however, managed to reach his TARDIS and stop him in time by connecting himself to the TARDIS's telepathic circuits and confusing the Two into stupor. He then abandoned the Two on a desert planet to give him a chance at redemption. (AUDIO: Two's Company)
At some point after this, the Two came to serve the Union, a future incarnation of his, who placed him in a cybernetic suit which blocked out the One, but gave the Union complete control over his mind and body. Serving the Union, now under the name Operator Zero, he helped her maintain her Diamond Array, a space station which captured stars and planets and condensed them into diamonds. When the station was being sabotaged by River Song and Susan Foreman, River was able to free the Two from his cybernetics and let him use her vortex manipulator to escape. He bore no memory of his service as Operator Zero once he was freed, nor of the Union. (AUDIO: The Union)
