One more lost soul dreaming of Utopia.
Professor Yana appeared to be a Human scientist, who was in reality an incarnation of the renegade Time Lord known as the Master.
Profile
Biography
Origins
- The circumstances of the transformation of Master from Time Lord into Yana remain unknown, though, as he had the same kind of fob watch, he had presumably a chameleon arch as the Doctor had done to change himself into John Smith. Based on the Master's statements, he must have gone through the transformation during the Last Great Time War. Therefore, when the Doctor found himself the only Time Lord to survive the war, he could not sense any other Time Lords in his mind.
- The name Yana was an acronym of "You Are Not Alone", which had been the Face of Boe's dying words to the Doctor. (DW: Gridlock)
Just as John Smith had false memories concerning his early life, Yana might have false memories created when Yana came to existence. It can be said with some degree of certainty that at least seventeen years of Yana's memories prior to meeting the Doctor were real, as that is how long he had been with Chantho.
Physically Human, Yana was an orphan found on the coast of the Silver Devastation with only a "heirloom" fob watch. 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.
- The Master had heard this drumbeat ever since he had stared in the Untempered Schism as a boy. (DW: The Sound of Drums)
Career as scientist
Yana retained the Master's brilliant intellect and ultimately became responsible for sending the remnants of Humanity to Utopia. He eventually became friends with another scientist Chantho, the last of the Malmooth race, thought to be the last of her kind. Together, they worked on the Utopia Project to convey the surviving HUmans from the planet Malcassairo to Utopia.
Meeting with the Doctor and transformation into the Master
Yana met the Doctor and Martha Jones who said phrases curiously familiar to him, phrases such as Time Vortex, "extermination", Time War, Daleks and regeneration. Martha made the Professor suspicious of a watch in his possession, so that, hearing voices in his mind that commanded and entreated him; he activated the device and returned to his true identity.
As the Master, he let down the defences so as to allow in the Futurekind in and dismantled the components, which allowed the system for the rocket to start up in the first place. Chantho held him at gunpoint. The Master grabbed the loose end of the live electrical cable and first threatened and then fatally attacked her, incidentally killing the last of the Malmooth.
As the Master grabbed the Doctor's hand, which Jack Harkness had brought to 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 into a a new and younger incarnation. (DW: Utopia)
Personality
In his human form, Yana was a benign old man who had nevertheless lost some faith in the Utopia project. His spirit was revitalised by the Doctor, and the two shared a mutual admiration. He was also somewhat scatterbrained and slightly lacking in self-confidence, at one point referring to himself as "a stupid old man." Once transformed into the Master, he regained his previous malicious and vindictive streak. (DW: Utopia)
