Ninth Corsair

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Revision as of 02:13, 16 July 2021 by OncomingStorm12th (talk | contribs) (Going by-the-book, this should be The Corsair (One Virtue, and a Thousand Crimes), because he has a small cameo in that story. However, as I said, he only has a small cameo, while another Corsair incarnation is the main character of that story. On this technicality, I'm dabbing him by first mention until (if) he fully appears in another story)

An incarnation of the Corsair was often described as a being "strapping big fellow".

Biography

This incarnation of the Corsair, who had a "trustworthy face", visited the Supreme Leader to collect the feather left behind by his Parrot companion. He also collected a reward for supplying information on the mysterious woman and bird whom had escaped the Supreme Leader. He disappeared, and was never heard from again. (PROSE: One Virtue, and a Thousand Crimes)

The final incarnation of the Corsair was described by Auntie, a composite humanoid servant of House, as "a strapping big bloke". She was a good authority on the matter; after all, she had the Corsair's left arm stitched onto her torso in place of her own, while the other composite humanoid slave, "Uncle", received "the spine and the kidneys". The Corsair went the way of House's numerous other Time Lord victims who had fallen into House's bubble universe and was marooned when his TARDIS was drained of energy. The Corsair had only just enough time to get a message together before he was finally killed.

The Eleventh Doctor discovered the Corsair's fate after being contacted by a hypercube with their peculiar Ouroboros symbol and following its psychically encoded distress message to House. He eventually discovered the Corsair's remains in Auntie and Uncle; this and the stockpile of hypercubes House used as bait cemented his fury in confronting and defeating House with Idris.

Behind the scenes

According to The Brilliant Book 2012 the Corsair died in their ninth incarnation. He was trapped by House during the Fourth Universal Survey Expedition, and was a "strapping big bloke" with his Oroborus tattoo on his inner left wrist.
