One more lost soul dreaming of Utopia.Yana

Professor Yana appeared to be a Human scientist, who was in reality an incarnation of the renegade Time Lord known as the Master.

Profile

Just as John Smith had false memories concerning his early life, Yana's might have remembered false memories created when Yana came to existence.

Physically and mentally Human, Yana was an orphan found on the coast of the Silver Devastation with only a fob watch, which in reality held the Time Lord self of the Master. He could never keep time and was always late for things. He spent his life moving from one refugee ship to another and all his life he heard the sound of drums every waking hour as if they were getting closer. In actuality, as the Doctor had done, he had subsumed his identity into that of a Human form and locked his actual Time Lord identity into the fob watch.

Presumably, like the Doctor, he had also used a Chameleon Arch.

He eventually became friends with the Malmooth scientist Chantho, thought to be the last of her kind. Together, they worked on the Utopia Project to get the humans from the planet Malcassairo to Utopia.

Eventually, when he met the Doctor and Martha Jones, he thought more about the watch because of their talk, saying things like "Time Vortex", "Time War", and "regeneration", which clicked in his mind and he heard the voice of the Master within. He obeyed the voices and opened the watch and became the Master.

As the Master, he let down the defences allowing the Futurekind in and began disabling the components, which allowed the system for the rocket to start up in the first place. Chantho held him at gunpoint. "Yana" grabbed the loose end of the live electrical cable and first threatened and then fatally attacked her. The Master removed the navigational computer chip from the rocket so that it could not arrive in Utopia and took the Doctor's hand, which Jack Harkness had brough tot Malcassario. The dying Chantho managed to shoot him before she died herself. The Master stumbled into the Doctor's TARDIS with the hand, locked the door with a deadlock seal and regenerated.

Yana's name was an acronym for the Face of Boe's last words to the the Doctor, namely, "You Are Not Alone" How the connection was made is unknown.:
