[[File:Nine Contact Clive.jpg|thumb|The Doctor at the Kennedy Assassination. ([[TV]]: ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'')]]

Searching for a place to gather his thoughts on the outcome of the Time War, the Doctor went to [[Galen]], where he found that something was causing the people on the planet to want to kill. Teaming up with news reporter [[Adriana Jarsdel]], he found that it was being caused by a rift in interstitial space, created by [[Rassilon]] and the Time Lords during the Time War to trap a race called the [[Compassionate]]. Setting his war incarnation's sonic screwdriver to explode, the Doctor prepared to throw himself into the rift to seal it, and sacrifice himself in the process, but was intercepted by Adriana, who took the screwdriver and sacrificed herself instead. In doing so, they managed to seal the rift and left the Compassionate trapped on the other side, unable to influence the universe any more. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Bleeding Heart (audio story)|The Bleeding Heart]]'') The Doctor later made a new [[the Doctor's sonic screwdriver|sonic screwdriver]] to replace his old one, ([[TV]]: ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'') adding an extension feature to the emitter to make it less "grown-up". ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'')

After the TARDIS fell through a [[Time Fracture]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Tales of the Dark Times (comic story)|Tales of the Dark Times]]'') the Doctor and Rose arrived on a shadow planetoid during the [[Eternal War]], where they were captured by [[Space Lord]] forces led by [[Rassilon]]. Upon realising he had arrived in the [[Dark Times]], the Doctor attempted to flee with Rose during an attack from the [[Cucurbite]]s, but Rose was snatched by a [[primordial class]] [[vampire]], so the Doctor instead assisted the Gallifreyan forces in neutralising the Cucurbites. Making an ally of the scientist [[Medicus Androkan|Androkan]], he and the Doctor stole Rassilon's flier to pursuit Rose, and found her on a [[coffin ship]], but were quickly captured by the [[vampire]]s, who kept the Doctor alive for information, while Androkan was killed by an acolyte of the [[Three Mad Sisters]], [[Friar Grystok]].

Aboard the coffin ship, the Ninth Doctor, alongside the [[Eighth Doctor]], confronted his [[Tenth Doctor|next incarnation's]] [[Victis Fleet|mercenary fleet]]. They attempted to persuade him to stop his attack on the [[Kotturuh]], but he dismissed them as illusions and ordered his fleet to fire, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Knight, The Fool and The Dead (novel)|The Knight, The Fool and The Dead]]'') destroying Mordeela. In the ensuing [[Battle of Mordeela]], the Ninth Doctor watched as the Vampires ineffectively fired on the mercenary ships, and eventually asked [[Ikalla]] if they could "pitch in" more after the Daleks were forced back by [[Brian (The Guide to the Dark Times)|Brian]] the [[Ood]], but was horrified when the [[Bloodsmen]] she unleashed killed the fleet's crew and brought them back to feed on. While he was able to negotiate a cease fire with his other incarnations in a telepathic contact, the Ninth Doctor was unable to make his forces stand down, and the Tenth Doctor escaped in his flagship, the only surviving ship of his fleet, in the confusion.

* The Ninth Doctor is one of four incarnations whose main attire does not include any form of neck wear, alongside the Fifth, Twelfth, and Thirteenth Doctors. The Ninth is also the first Doctor whose main attire excludes collared shirts as well, opting instead for long sleeve V-neck jumpers exclusively.

* The Ninth Doctor was the first never to face another [[Time Lord]] as an opponent on screen. As of 2013, the only other incarnation to share this distinction is the [[Eleventh Doctor]], unless the [[Dream Lord]] or [[Mr Clever]] are technically considered to be Time Lords, each being an amalgam of the Doctor; or [[Melody Pond]], who had Time Lord traits and served as the antagonist in ''[[Let's Kill Hitler (TV story)|Let's Kill Hitler]]'', is counted. However, both face off against {{Ainley}} in ''[[Endgame (POT comic story)|Endgame]]'', meaning every incarnation has had a Time Lord opponent in some form of media.

* The Ninth Doctor's era, due to its short length, stands as the first incarnation's era to be completely released to DVD in Australia, North America and the UK. The single film that made up the eighth incarnation's era was not available in North America and Australia at the point when Series One was released.

* As of 2015, the Ninth Doctor is the only incarnation who has yet to be seen on [[Gallifrey]] in any chronicled adventure. Every incarnation before him has visited Gallifrey multiple times, the [[Tenth Doctor|Tenth]] and [[Eleventh Doctor|Eleventh]] Doctors find themselves there in ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'', and the [[Twelfth Doctor]] finally made his way back to his home planet in ''[[Heaven Sent (TV story)|Heaven Sent]]''. The [[Tenth Doctor]]'s comment in ''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]'' of his predecessor being "born in battle", however, suggests that this incarnation has false memories of being present on Gallifrey (due to suppressing the memories of being the [[War Doctor]]), and he is alongside his other incarnations in ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'' to save Gallifrey, confirming he's at least been in the planet's orbit.
