Behind the Scenes
I think we should have a section on how The BBC hid spoilers on The Return(s) of the Master, such as when Anthony Ainley was Credited as Neil Tonay. OttselSpy25 talk to me 20:17, October 21, 2011 (UTC)
Should these get their own articles?
Why do some of the Master's aliases/disguises, like Emil Keller and Razor, get their own pages, but others, such as The Portreeve and Kalid, just redirect to this page? NightmareofEden ☎ 11:29, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
Oh and they're also double redirects, which probably should be fixed, if they're going to remain as redirects at all rather being expanded into their own pages. NightmareofEden ☎
- Mere assumed names shouldn't get pages, but I see no objection to expanding fully-developed personas like the Portreeve to their own pages. I suppose a good way to think about it is, "are those in essence fictional characters as whom the Master 'acts', with a constructed personality or even a fake backstory, or simply the equivalent of the Doctor flashing the psychic paper in people's faces?".

New Find! Frontier in Space
Some new production photos from rehearsals of Frontier in Space have been unearthed here.
- "One small but intriguing detail is revealed for the first time by the pictures. The Master often used aliases (Emil Keller, Reverend Magister, Professor Thascales etc), but in Frontier in Space he was posing as the unnamed Commissioner for Sirius Four."
- "However, although never spoken or seen on screen, a specific name was dreamt up by the production team. And that name was G R Xsathos – legible in this close-up detail of a document bearing the Master’s fake credentials, held by actor Michael Hawkins."
Do we think this could be added into the list of the Master's alias/fake names, or not, based on this? (Cross-posted to the Frontier in Space talk page too.) Fractal Doctor ☎ 11:13, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
