| The '''Fugitive Doctor''' was an incarnation of [[the Doctor]] who, against her will, worked for [[the Division]] on behalf of [[Gallifrey]] until she tried to desert her responsibilities, becoming a [[fugitive]]. Although both the [[Judoon]] and the [[Thirteenth Doctor]]'s own [[The Doctor's sonic screwdriver|sonic screwdriver]] identified her as truly the Doctor, the Thirteenth Doctor was unsure how the Fugitive fit into her biography, though she speculated she may have existed in the Thirteenth Doctor's distant past, as a regeneration of the [[Timeless Child]].
| |
| | |
| At any rate, after slipping away from her superior officer [[Gat]], the Fugitive Doctor hid out on [[Earth]] using a [[Chameleon Arch]], taking on a [[human]] identity as "'''[[Ruth Clayton]]'''". She had [[Fugitive Doctor's TARDIS|her TARDIS]] buried near the [[lighthouse]] where she stored her true identity and trusted [[Lee Clayton]] to protect her, undercover as Ruth's husband. Lee was also tasked with reminding her to ''"Follow the light and break the glass"'' when the time was right, as this would lead Ruth to return to the lighthouse, which she was made to recall from [[childhood]], and finally restore her Time Lord memories. ([[TV]]: ''[[Fugitive of the Judoon (TV story)|Fugitive of the Judoon]]'')

| == Biography ==
| |
| === Working for Gallifrey ===
| |
| For a period of time, having been consigned or recruited, the Doctor worked for the enforcers of [[Gallifrey]]. She tried to flee from them on at least one occasion, but learnt that escape would not prove an easy task after she failed to get away. While working for the Time Lords, the Doctor became acquainted with [[Gat]].
| |
| | |
| After she successfully escaped from Gallifrey, stealing a gun from Gat in the process, the Doctor fled to [[Earth]] in [[Fugitive Doctor's TARDIS|her TARDIS]] and used a [[Chameleon Arch]] to disguise herself as a [[human]] named "Ruth Clayton", with [[Lee Clayton]] acting as her protector in case of trouble. Taking up residence in [[Gloucester]] with Lee posing as her husband, Ruth made a living as a self-employed [[tour guide]]. She believed herself to be a 44-year-old human and remembered being brought up by her parents in a disused [[lighthouse]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Fugitive of the Judoon (TV story)|Fugitive of the Judoon]]'')
| |
| | |
| === As Ruth Clayton ===
| |
| {{Section stub|Information from ''[[The Tourist (short story)|The Tourist]]'' needs to be added.}}
| |
| According to her constructed memories, Ruth moved away from home to Gloucester in mid-[[December]] [[1999]], seeking a life of her own. Her parents died after this point and Ruth inherited the lighthouse from them, though she did not wish to live there. ([[TV]]: ''[[Fugitive of the Judoon (TV story)|Fugitive of the Judoon]]'')
| |
| | |
| By [[2020]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Can You Hear Me? (TV story)|Can You Hear Me?]]'') she was a regular customer at a [[coffee shop]] where she had become friendly with the barista, [[Allan (Fugitive of the Judoon)|Allan]]. Allan tried to convince Ruth that Lee was not good enough for her, even keeping a [[dossier]] which recorded his suspicions regarding him. She also made a friend in elderly resident [[Marcia (Fugitive of the Judoon)|Marcia]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Fugitive of the Judoon (TV story)|Fugitive of the Judoon]]'')
| |
| | |
| ==== Hunted by the Judoon ====
| |
| On Ruth's supposed 44th birthday, the [[Judoon]], under contract with [[the Division]], came to Gloucester to retrieve the Doctor, having pinned down her location due to Lee keeping hold of his old service medal. When another incarnation of the Doctor, the [[Thirteenth Doctor]], haggled a brief reprise from the Judoon to investigate matters herself, Lee distracted the Judoon to allow Ruth to escape with the Doctor. He was ultimately executed by Gat, but not before sending Ruth a cryptic [[text message]] that briefly reawakened her Time Lord persona to defend Ruth from the Judoon. In an act beyond self-defence, Ruth pulled off [[Pol-Kon-Don|Captain Pol-Kon-Don]]'s [[horn]], escalating the Judoon's hostility and causing the Thirteenth Doctor to inquire after her true identity.
| |
| | |
| As memories began surfacing unexpectedly, she and the Thirteenth Doctor then travelled to the lighthouse, where Ruth followed her imperative to "break the glass". After shattering the [[biodata module]] with the push of a [[button]], Ruth's Time Lord personality was reactivated and she became "the Doctor" again. ([[TV]]: ''[[Fugitive of the Judoon (TV story)|Fugitive of the Judoon]]'')
| |
| | |
| ==== Memories restored ====
| |
| With her true self restored, the Fugitive Doctor retrieved the [[rifle]] she had stolen from Gat, quickly changed into her old clothes, and went outside to introduce herself to the Thirteenth Doctor, who had dug up [[Fugitive Doctor's TARDIS|her TARDIS]]. The Fugitive Doctor then teleported the two of them onboard, where she learnt of the Thirteenth Doctor's identity. Since she didn't recognise the Thirteenth Doctor, she assumed she was encountering a future incarnation of herself, only to learn that the Thirteenth Doctor had no memory of ever being her either.
| |
| | |
| Before either Doctor could figure out what was going on, the Fugitive Doctor's TARDIS was captured by the [[Judoon]]. Onboard the Judoon ship, the two Doctors encountered Gat and the Fugitive Doctor returned her rifle to her. She attempted to pass off her thirteenth incarnation as "nobody", but the Thirteenth Doctor ultimately revealed who she was. To the Fugitive Doctor's surprise, the Thirteenth Doctor also claimed that [[Gallifrey]] had been destroyed by "[[Spy Master|a lunatic]]", sharing her memories of this with Gat as proof that she was not lying.
| |
| | |
| Gat tried to execute both Doctors, despite the Fugitive Doctor's pleas for her to stand down. The rifle had previously been sabotaged and it backfired on Gat, killing her. Setting aside the Thirteenth Doctor's horror at her actions, the Fugitive Doctor retrieved the firearm and reversed her alterations. Using the weapon, she threatened the Judoon with it, pointing out that, now that they were in [[interstellar space]], [[crime]] was not defined, and they had no [[jurisdiction]]. After the Judoon let them leave, the Fugitive Doctor returned her thirteenth incarnation to Earth, noting that they couldn't both be right about each other's place in their chronology. ([[TV]]: ''[[Fugitive of the Judoon (TV story)|Fugitive of the Judoon]]'')
| |
| | |
| At some point later in her timeline, this Doctor returned to Gloucester, claiming that she "like[d] to check back from time to time, whisper in the right ears, help out some lost souls". On one such occasion she encountered [[George (The Tourist)|George]] in a cat home, and declared that she couldn't take a cat on board the TARDIS because "she'd get all over the place". On asking George where he was from, he replied that he was from "around here" and the Doctor smiled a smile that reassured him that "everything would be OK". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Tourist (short story)|The Tourist]]'')

| === Matrix projection ===
| |
| [[File:Ruth Doctor in the Matrix (TTC).jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor appears in the Matrix. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Timeless Children (TV story)|The Timeless Children]]'')]]
| |
| After being trapped in [[the Matrix]] by the [[Spy Master]], the Thirteenth Doctor encountered a projection of the Fugitive Doctor, whom she speculated was the Matrix playing more games with her. The Fugitive Doctor reminded her that she had never been limited by who she was before, telling her that the universe needed the Doctor too much for her to be tired. She mentioned how [[Ashad]] had said something that was nagging her, hinting at the [[death particle]], and told her to "blow the mind" of the Matrix before disappearing. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Timeless Children (TV story)|The Timeless Children]]'')
| |
| | |
| === Legacy ===
| |
| The Fugitive Doctor's actions against Gat and the Judoon got her marked for arrest. However, it became a cold case. The Judoon eventually found the Thirteenth Doctor and imprisoned her. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Timeless Children (TV story)|The Timeless Children]]'')

| == Psychological profile ==
| |
| === Personality ===
| |
| <!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's likes, dislikes and beliefs-->
| |
| The Fugitive Doctor had a low opinion on the [[Thirteenth Doctor]]'s [[the Doctor's sonic screwdriver|sonic screwdriver]], terming it a "gizmo", and arrogantly claimed she was too smart to use one for herself.
| |
| | |
| <!--Examples following this point focus on the Doctor's attitude towards time travel and the Web of Time-->
| |
| <!--Examples following this point focus on the Doctor's attitude towards violence and death-->
| |
| She exhibited a more violent persona than many of her other incarnations, threatening to kill a Judoon platoon, and arming herself with a gun as well as programming Gat's gun to blow its user up. She did however give Gat repeated warnings about using the gun, practically begging Gat not to do it. The Fugitive Doctor also agreed with the Thirteenth Doctor's statement that the Doctor never used weapons, suggesting that she might have been bluffing when she threatened the Judoon.

| |
| <!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's opinion of his other selves, and how the other Doctors felt about this particular incarnation, both in chronological order-->
| |
| | |
| She also showed dislike for the Thirteenth Doctor. After instructing her to keep quiet and let her do all the talking, the Fugitive Doctor was furious with her for interfering in her plans for Gat. She showed her contempt by adopting a cold manner, such as when she coldly told the Thirteenth Doctor to leave her TARDIS after the pair debated about the mystery of how they didn't recognise one another.
| |
| | |
| However, she also had an excitable streak, proclaiming, "You're gonna love this," to the Thirteenth Doctor before showing her TARDIS. ([[TV]]: ''[[Fugitive of the Judoon (TV story)|Fugitive of the Judoon]]'')

| == Appearance ==
| |
| The Fugitive Doctor resembled a dark-skinned middle-aged woman. She had black hair, which she wore in braids. ([[TV]]: ''[[Fugitive of the Judoon (TV story)|Fugitive of the Judoon]]'') While potentially describing her, her smile was described by George as "a smile that let you know everything would be OK"; he further observed that she seemed to know how to smile "better than anyone [he] had ever known". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Tourist (short story)|The Tourist]]'')
| |
| | |
| === Clothing ===
| |
| The Fugitive Doctor wore a [[frock coat]] of [[Navy (colour)|navy]] [[tweed]] with seven silver buttons on the left side and one on the right. She wore a [[kente]] [[shirt]] with frilled stand collar and cuffs under a double-breasted [[waistcoat]] of Prussian blue tweed with sixteen bronze buttons. She also wore [[black]] combat trousers tucked into black [[Doc Martens|Doc Marten]] shoes.
| |
| | |
| The Fugitive Doctor also wore [[yellow]] sunglasses with gold branches and two gold hoops with complicated design. ([[TV]]: ''[[Fugitive of the Judoon (TV story)|Fugitive of the Judoon]]'')
| |
| | |
| == Behind the scenes ==
| |
| While ''[[Fugitive of the Judoon (TV story)|Fugitive of the Judoon]]'' and ''[[The Timeless Children (TV story)|The Timeless Children]]'' both left it unclear where the Fugitive Doctor fits into the Doctor's life, [[Chris Chibnall]] confirmed to ''The Mirror'' that, as stated in the episode, ''"She is definitively the Doctor."'' He went on to say that ''"There's not a sort of parallel universe going on; there's no tricks."''<ref>[https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/jo-martin-first-black-doctor-21373790 First black Doctor Who Jo Martin is 'definitely the Doctor', confirms show boss - Mirror Online]</ref> ''[[Meet the Doctor]]'', a piece of prose from ''[[Doctor Who The Official Annual 2021]]'', suggested strongly that this Doctor was one of the [[Timeless Child]]'s regenerations from before the Doctor was mind-wiped and forcibly regressed into [[The Doctor's early life|a child]]. However, it was a fourth-wall-breaking and non-narrative effort, and is as a result not considered a [[Tardis:Valid sources|valid source]] by this Wiki.
| |
| | |
| When designing the costume, [[Ray Holman]] initially went in with how it should have references to previous Doctors, such as tweed and a waistcoat from the [[Eleventh Doctor]], a period cut in reference to classic Doctors, and having boots and trousers reminiscent of the [[Twelfth Doctor]]. There was also a plan to put the whole attire together with a seventeenth century linen shirt with frill stand collar and frill cuffs. When Jo Martin was cast, she and Ray conversed with each other and it was decided that the shirt should be a more vibrant Kente with [[Africa]]n wax-print fabric, rather than cream, to be more reflective of Martin. The yellow sunglasses were picked out by Martin herself, from an opticians in [[Covent Garden]]. ([[DWM 549]])
| |
| | |
| === First BAME to play the Doctor? ===
| |
| The Fugitive Doctor was the first mainstream televised incarnation of the Doctor to be played by a [[person of colour|non-white actor]], namely [[Jo Martin]]. However, this widely-hailed status of the Fugitive incarnation as the first Person of Colour (POC) Doctor is not ''quite'' accurate.
| |
| | |
| Firstly, some stories had previously shown the Doctor briefly taking over the bodies of non-white [[human]]s, and so getting played by those who were cast for those characters. [[Daniel Anthony]] briefly played the [[Eleventh Doctor]] in ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]'' story ''[[Death of the Doctor (TV story)|Death of the Doctor]]'' while he occupied the body of [[Clyde Langer]], and [[Damian Lynch]] played the [[Third Doctor]] in the audio story ''[[Ghost in the Machine (audio story)|Ghost in the Machine]]'' while he was using the body of [[Benjamin Chikoto]] to communicate.
| |
| | |
| More concretely, [[Russell T Davies]]' [[Rose (novelisation)|''Rose'' novelisation]], released some time before ''[[Fugitive of the Judoon (TV story)|Fugitive of the Judoon]]'', showed that [[Clive Finch]] possessed a [[photograph]] of, among other known incarnations, [[The Doctor 1 (Rose)|a tall, bald, black female Doctor]] who wields a flaming sword.
| |
| | |
| Within [[Series 12 (Doctor Who)|the same televised season]] to debut the Fugitive Doctor, an exploration of [[Timeless Child|an era]] of [[the Doctor's early life]] before the [[First Doctor]] showed several of this [[Timeless Child]]'s lives, including the first one, to be played by non-white actors, [[male]] and [[female]]. This child first appeared in visions in ''[[Spyfall (TV story)|Spyfall]]'' and ''[[Can You Hear Me? (TV story)|Can You Hear Me?]]'', though she was not revealed to be an earlier version of the Doctor (and shown in further regenerations) until ''[[The Timeless Children (TV story)|The Timeless Children]]''. Furthermore, at this time of their lives, they weren’t known as “the Doctor”.
| |
| | |
| At the time of production for ''[[Silence in the Library (TV story)|Silence in the Library]]'' and ''[[Forest of the Dead (TV story)|Forest of the Dead]]'', [[Steven Moffat]] privately intended [[Doctor Moon]] to be a future Doctor. This would have made [[Colin Salmon]] the first POC to play the Doctor, though the storyline never came to pass on-screen. In ''[[Showrunner Showdown]]'' in [[2020 (releases)|2020]], Moffat commented that he thought a version of this idea could still work and [[Russell T Davies]] revealed that he always thought of the character as the Doctor while watching the episode.

| | |
| === Forgotten Lives ===
| |
| The [[charity publication]] ''Forgotten Lives'' featured fleshed out backstories for each of [[The Doctor (The Brain of Morbius)|the Morbius Doctors]] with various known ''[[Doctor Who]]'' writers contributing. The Morbius Doctor's costumes were designed by artist [[Paul Hanley]] who posted a promotional picture of all the Morbius Doctors - this promotional picture featured [[Jo Martin]]'s incarnation.
