The 17th Master was a particularly incompetent incarnation of the Master who attempted to destroy the Doctor on the planet Tersurus.
Profile
When spying on the Doctor, the Master had inadvertently enabled two way communication between the two, and unwittingly revealed several of his plans to eliminate the Doctor. After the two had arranged to meet on Tersurus, it became apparent that the Master had travelled back in time to bribe a tersuran architect to install several traps in the castle they were now meeting. Unbeknownst to him however, the Doctor had also done the same, bribing the same architect to change the details of the traps. This eventually led to the Master floundering around in the sewers of Tersurus for centuries, after with the Daleks.
As part of this alliance, the Master had himself "augmented" with Dalek technology, resulting in not only a more youthful appearance, but also "Dalek bumps" installed on his chest. Although he remained adamant they were Etheric beam locators, the Doctor contiually teased the Master due to the fact that they resembled breasts.
When he believed the Doctor to be dead, the Master renounced his evil ways, before the Doctor regenerated into a female form. With both timelords finding themselves attracted to each other, they walked off, arm in arm. (DW: The Curse of Fatal Death)
Behind the Scenes
Like the rest of The Curse of Fatal Death, this version of the Master is not considered canon. The name "The 17th Master" is based upon fan speculation stemming from a behind-the-scenes featurette on the making of the spoof; in the special itself he is not referred to as anything else but The Master.
