This page lists appearances of the Tremas Master played by Eric Roberts in the order in which he experienced them. It relies on much speculation to fit semi-contradictory sources together, and should absolutely not be seen as representative of this wiki's general policy.

Opening the Eye of Harmony

• TV: Doctor Who

Having survived his execution on Skaro by using a Deathworm Morphant, the Master forces the Doctor's TARDIS to land in 1999 San Francisco, where, after the Doctor is critically injured, the Master possesses the body of Bruce Gerhardt. Bribing Chang Lee, the Master hunts down the Eighth Doctor to steal his body and remaining regenerations. During a final fight with the Doctor in his TARDIS, the Master is sucked into the Eye of Harmony.

After falling into the Eye of Harmony, the Eye attempts to convert the Master into pure energy, but he is able to escape into a spare room in the Doctor's TARDIS, which is then jettisoned into the Time Vortex. (AUDIO: The Lifeboat and the Deathboat)

• PROSE: The Eight Doctors

Directly after Doctor Who, the Master's voice can be heard mocking the Doctor after he springs "one final trap" left in the TARDIS.

After boarding a ship and drifting through the Time Vortex for "a while", the Master arrives on Kolstan. He encounters the Eighth Doctor for the first time since Doctor Who. Missy and the "War" Master plan to wipe his memory and throw him back into the Time Vortex after they give a future version of the "Deathworm" Master a new regeneration cycle.

The Master is Time Scooped by a future incarnation. His hair is still brown, setting this before Faustian, and he is wearing his clothes from The Lifeboat and the Deathboat and Day of the Master.

• AUDIO: Vengeance

Months have passed since Faustian. The Master is forced back into the time vortex by Lila after he attempts to destroy Earth.

Rescued by Esterath
