Tenth Doctor
The Tenth Doctor is the last and latest known incarnation of the Time Lord known as the Doctor.
Profile
When the Doctor absorbed the Time Vortex from his companion, Rose Tyler, it began to destroy every cell in his body, causing him to resort to regeneration to save his life. (DW: The Parting of the Ways) He piloted his TARDIS back to Powell Estate on Christmas Eve and, as he had after some of his other regenerations, fell into a coma, watched over by Rose and her mother, Jackie. He sprang into action again to save Rose from the robotic Christmas tree before lapsing into the coma again and re-awoken onboard the Sycorax ship where he defeated their leader and deposed the regime of Harriet Jones, his former ally. He then spent Christmas Day with Mickey Smith and the Tylers. (DW: The Christmas Invasion)
Back in time and space again with Rose, in 1879 Scotland, he and Rose met Queen Victoria and inadvertantly inspired the Queen to create the Torchwood Institute, an organisation unfriendly to the Doctor. (DW: Tooth and Claw)
Under cover as John Smith, a physics teacher at a high school which the Krillitanes had infilitrated, the Doctor re-united with his old friends Sarah Jane Smith and K-9. He also took on Mickey Smith as his companion. (DW: School Reunion) He fell in love with Reinette, a beautiful noblewoman in 18th century Versailles. (DW: The Girl in the Fireplace) On a paralell Earth, he witnessed the birth of that universe's Cybermen and saw off Mickey, who decided to stay on the other world. (DW: Rise of the Cybermen/The Age of Steel)

Habits and Quirks
The Doctor made frequent reference to twentieth century pop culture, from the Ghostbusters theme (DW: Army of Ghosts) to the "Circle of Life Song" from The Lion King (DW: The Christmas Invasion) He's fond of rock and roll, trying to take Rose to see concerts by both Elvis Presley (DW: The Idiot's Lantern) and Ian Drury (DW: Tooth and Claw), and dresses in the manner of an indie Brit-pop musician. He wore reading glasses and trainers. He often remarked that exotic technology or life is "beautiful" and is genuinely enthralled by such discoveries, sometimes to the extent that he places himself or his companions in danger.
Until they left his life, he continued his previous incarnation's habit of mildy abusing both Mickey and Jackie, though generally in a more obviously playful fashion.
