The '''Corsair''' was a [[Time Lord]] known to [[The Doctor]] as "one of the good ones". His signature emblem was a classical depiction of the mtyhological [[Oroborus]]: a snake devouring its tail. According to The Doctor, he had a copy of the emblem tattooed onto his body after each regeneration — even when he regenerated as a female. Without it The Corsair didn't feel like himself. In his last known regneration it appeared on the inside of his right forearm.
