The Master encountered the Warp Core, which changed his form back to that of his previous, corpse-like self.

Biography

The Master with his mask. (BFA: Dust Breeding)

The Master learned of a device known as the Warp Core, a sentient powerhouse of mental energy designed as a weapon to safeguard the planet Duchamp 331. The Master tracked the Warp Core to Earth, intending to use it to power his TARDIS. Unprepared for its power and underestimating its outside awareness, he was attacked by the Warp Core, having the body which he stole from Tremas stripped from him, reducing him to his previous, decaying form. The Master then followed the Warp Core as it arrived on Duchamp 331. (BFA: Dust Breeding)

The Seventh Doctor made a deal with Death whereby the Master would have ten years of peace and sanity, at the end of which the Doctor must kill him. The still-scarred Master had become a physician with no memory of his past, and took the name Doctor John Smith. The Master was taken in by Wilston-Croft, and inherited his house when Wilston-Croft died. During his ten years as John Smith, the Master had become emotionally involved with a woman named Jaqueline Schaeffer.

At the end of the allotted time, the Doctor duly arrived but strove to avoid fulfilling his side of the bargain. The Master became aware of the Doctor's role in pledging him to Death as her servant but forgave him for it. Death herself was present, disguised as the Master's maid and manipulated events so that the John Smith persona would crumble and the true Master become dominant once more. (BFA: Master)

Appearance

After being attacked by the Warp Core, the Master wore a golden mask and gloves to hide his disfigurement. (BFA: Dust Breeding) After becoming John Smith, the Master did not hide his disfigurement and wore a suit instead. (BFA: Master)

Personality

As John Smith, the Master was still somehow deeply aware of his dark nature and troubled by it. As his true self, this incarnation had a far more darker and evil side to him than most of his other selves. He seemed to enjoy being mysterious about his true identity and enjoyed giving his enemies riddles as to who he truly was. Also compared to his other selves, this incarnation was far calmer and well spoken, which made him sound more sinister. (BFA: Master)

Habits and Quirks

As John Smith, the Master's favourite dessert was marinated figs with a raspberry coulis. He grew tomatoes, made his own wine, enjoyed theatre, books, and the company of friends. The Master was not fond of dogs or people with shifty eyes. (BFA: Master)
