I'm going to create a page for "The Man with the Rosette", he was an incarnation of the Master alive after the Second War in Heaven and appeared in The Adventuress of Henrietta Street. The reason i created this topic thread was because i was unsure what to name the article, the book names the characters in script from as "The Man with the Rosette" but he could also be called "The Master (The Adventuress of Henrietta Street)" which is also a bit of a mouthful.

Ideas?

Well...it's implied he's the Master, but unless there's really suggestive proof I think Man with the Rosette would be the best bet.

I can't remember if there's something mentioned in The Book of the War about him / the Master that would give more proof towards suggesting that he's the Master. --Tangerineduel 15:52, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

He was seen in a vision by the Doctor and Marnal during the Gallifrey Chronicles where he got his beard back. Revanvolatrelundar 16:09, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure a beard is enough of an identifyer of the Master. But the article is good, interesting and informative! --Tangerineduel 13:17, October 27, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, the rosette guy was the whole reason for me to read the book in the first place. but on te subject of identifying him as the Master, AHistory claims that Lawrence Miles intended the character to be the Master, although it was never explicitly stated in the book.

As you've done, noted it in the behind the scenes section, but for in-universe stuff we need in-universe sourcing. Even with Henrietta Street we need to take into account the altered method of story telling the book takes. --Tangerineduel 15:37, October 27, 2010 (UTC)
