 {{Roberts|n=The Bruce Master}} claimed to [[Chang Lee]] that the Doctor had taken most of his [[regeneration]]s whilst the Doctor told [[Grace Holloway]] that the Master was both "on his last life" and had "[ran] out of all his lives". In their ensuing [[Regeneration Operation|confrontation]], the Master claimed that it was because of the Doctor that he had "wasted all [his] lives". The Doctor challenged this, reminding Lee that the Master claimed that he had stolen those lives when the reality was that the Master sought the Doctor's remaining lives after having "used all his lives", noting that the Master himself had just admitted to wasting "all of them". ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'') In any case, the bodily theft was followed by the Master's fourteenth death. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Girl Power! (short story)|Girl Power!]]'')

+According to the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]]'s research, the Master's sixth incarnation had yet to take on the name of "the Master". He was a short, clean-shaven man, quite different from how the Master had looked on Gallifrey. He decided to begin experimenting with [[Fixed point in time|temporal nexuses]] in the hope of manipulating them to take control of all History, altering it for the better so as to favour [[civilisation]]. Calling himself a "Monk", the Master's first experiment had him aiming [[Nuclear weapon|atomic]] [[bazooka]]s at the [[Viking]] [[Boat|ships]] of [[Harald Hardrada]] to see if he could alter the history of [[England]]. However, the Doctor intervened and damaged the Master's TARDIS. The two again crossed paths after the Master had made his way to the planet [[Tigus]], where he forged an uneasy alliance with the [[Dalek]]s. Though the Master fulfilled his part of the bargain by leading the Doctor to the Daleks, the Daleks, having no further use for him, turned on him. The Master [[regeneration|regenerated]] into a new incarnation with different features, who was more ruthless and began to use the name of "the Master". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[CIA File Extracts (novel)|CIA File Extracts]]'')
+The [[Seventh Doctor]] once made a statement which may have placed the Monk as an earlier incarnation of the Master:
+{{Simplequote|I can’t rewrite the script... Do you think I would have let the Master grow into the twisted megalomaniac he is if I could have prevented it? It’s not as simple as that. [I can't unmake a real piece of space-time]. I wish I'd understood that when I had to deal with that meddling Monk.|[[Seventh Doctor]]|Deceit (novel)}}
+Similarly, the [[Eighth Doctor]] once reflected that if he crossed his personal "line in the sand" of not upending [[Earth]]'s history, even though he sometimes interfered in other planets', he would "end up just like the Master. Meddling for [his] own purposes". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Interference - Book One (novel)|Interference - Book One]]'')
+However, other accounts of the Doctor's early life treated "[[the Monk]]" as a different childhood associate of the Doctor's, previously known as Mortimus. According to these accounts, no known connection existed between the Monk's and the Master's respective incarnations.
