This page lists appearances of the War Master 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.
Limiting factors
Timeline
- Previous known page: "Reborn" Master
Working for the CIA
- Recounts the closing events of Sins of the Father, from Martine's perspective.
- The Master is using his laser screwdriver, and receives a Chameleon Arch from Narvin. The Time War has yet to be formally declared, but tensions are rising between the Time Lords and Daleks.
- The Master claims to hail from a time where paradoxes occur "almost daily", though admits there are no "recognisable days anymore", implying that he came from the Time War. He is working for the CIA, suggesting a setting before he started working against the Time Lords.
- The Master collects Alice Pritchard, the first of a part of his genetic experiments.
- The Master collects Giuseppe Sabatini as part of his genetic experiments.
- Authorial intent places this between The Coney Island Chameleon and The Missing Link.[1] The Master is collecting genetic material for experiments, to rival the ones being conducted by the Time Lords and the Daleks.
- Follows on from The Missing Link. The Master is still working for the Time Lords, and has spent "years" creating the "ultimate biological weapon" on Xenotopia.

- Ending leads directly into He Who Wins.
- The Master recalls the events of Day of the Master. Having conquered the universe, the Master is convinced that his Dalek allies will betray him by the Unbound Master from a parallel universe. Working with the Dalek Time Strategist, the Master contacts himself shortly after he set up the mental link with Crazlus, whom he has exterminated, reverting the timeline to before From the Flames. In an attempt to escape the Daleks, the Master sets his TARDIS to dematerialise to a random location, though he is separated from it via a transmat beam, leading directly into Beneath the Viscoid.
Recovering his TARDIS
- After retrieving his TARDIS from Gardezza, the Master is summoned to Gallifrey.
- Follows on from Beneath the Viscoid, with the Master arriving on Gallifrey, and referring to having gone to "a great deal of trouble" to recover his TARDIS. Once he throws Leela into the Time Vortex after a mission to recover vital information that might end the Time War, the Master decides to head for Arcking based on intelligence from Finnian Valentine, leading directly into The Good Master.
- The Master begins traveling with Cole Jarnish after meeting him on Arcking.
Based at a vineyard
- (SEGMENT)
- The Master brings Cole to an unnamed planet where Cole intends to make a difference. While Cole begins helping a local village develop, the Master decides to start his own vineyard, something he has always wanted to do. (AUDIO: The Sky Man)
- Set during the events of The Sky Man, while the Master and Cole are settled down on a planet and the Master is working on his vineyard. They have been on the planet for a few weeks and the Master has yet to harvest any grapes from his vineyard.
- Set during The Sky Man, while the Master is tending to his vineyard and is separated from Cole. The Master attempts to subjugate the Stagnant Protocol, but is out-manipulated by Calantha, who takes control instead. The Master sets a plan in motion to get his revenge, but first intends to pick up a few things, leading directly into A Quiet Night In.
- The Master manipulates Jo Jones into recovering a plague vial for him. The Master plans to return to Calantha after one final stop off to meet another old acquaintance, leading directly into The Orphan.
- The Master spends some time with Nyssa in the Stagnant Protocol and retrieves a plague variant from her.
- Following on from The Orphan, the Master returns to the Stagnant Protocol homeworld. He spends several months in captivity before finally escaping and finalising his plan to take control of the stagnant protocol.
- The Master is kidnapped and placed in the Forest of penitence. The Master is put on trial.
- (FRAMING DEVICE)
- During his trial, the Master recounts his experiences on the planet Trabus, (AUDIO: The Players) and the time he saved a planet with Cole Jarnish. (AUDIO: Boundaries)
- The Master escapes his trial with the help of the Tenth Doctor and recovers his TARDIS.
- The Master and Cole flee the planet after Cole's plan to cure the villagers of a plague goes wrong, resulting in the creation of a new cybernetic species.
Under the Chameleon Arch
- The Master kills Cole in order to power up the Heavenly Paradigm, a weapon that can end the Time War, only for his use of it to backfire. After watching the Dalek Emperor take control of the Cruciform, the Master flees from the War and the Time Lords, going to the end of the universe, where he uses his Chameleon Arch to turn himself into a human baby. He has his TARDIS dematerialise to parts unknown after he exits it.
- Yana spends five years volunteering with his friend Rafe, who becomes like a son to him. He has yet to settle on Malcassairo or meet Chantho. Yana gifts his fobwatch to Rafe, which causes him to see visions of the Master's past and hear the voice of the Master who tries to convince him to help make Yana open the watch. Yana receives a signal summoning him to the Utopia Project.
- Upon the arrival of the Tenth Doctor, Jack Harkness and Martha Jones, Yana is spurred to open the Chameleon Arch and return to his true identity. The Master is shot by Chantho when he kills her, but he is able to commandeer the Doctor's TARDIS before he regenerates.
- Next page: "Saxon" Master
Currently unplaced
- These entries are placed here due to being part of ongoing storylines that have yet to offer sufficient enough evidence to be placed in a specific part of this Master's timeline, unless further evidence arises in the stories to come.
Degeneration crisis
- At some point in the Last Great Time War, the Master is struck by a degeneration weapon that causes him to fluctuate between his other incarnations. He manages to stabilise himself in his Missy incarnation on Planetoid 50, albeit temporarily.
- Follows on from The Martian Invasion of Planetoid 50, with Missy having degenerated into the Lumiat.
Awaiting placement
- These entries are placed here until a suitable position in the timeline can be determined based on the available evidence.
