The father of the Doctor was a figure steeped in mystery, in no small part due to the varying accounts of his life.
Accounts[[edit] | [edit source]]
Ulysses[[edit] | [edit source]]
Ulysses once watched a meteor storm with his son on Gallifrey, which the latter would remember shortly after his seventh regeneration. (TV: Doctor Who) The Seventh Doctor had a flashback to a time when his father had his arm across the Doctor's shoulders as together they watched a Gallifreyan dawn. (PROSE: Matrix) The Eighth Doctor relived a memory from his first incarnation where Ulysses held him up as a child to see the stars. (PROSE: The Eight Doctors)
