 {{Roberts|n=The Bruce Master}} claimed to [[Chang Lee]] that the Doctor had taken most of his [[regeneration]]s whilst the Doctor told [[Grace Holloway]] that the Master was both "on his last life" and had "[ran] out of all his lives". In their ensuing [[Regeneration Operation|confrontation]], the Master claimed that it was because of the Doctor that he had "wasted all [his] lives". The Doctor challenged this, reminding Lee that the Master claimed that he had stolen those lives when the reality was that the Master sought the Doctor's remaining lives after having "used all his lives", noting that the Master himself had just admitted to wasting "all of them". ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'') In any case, the bodily theft was followed by the Master's fourteenth death. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Girl Power! (short story)|Girl Power!]]'')

+''[[The Doctor Who Role Playing Game]]'' by [[FASA]], which admits to taking liberties with the source material in its opening pages, gives a rundown of the Master's first thirteen [[incarnation]]s in "[[The Master (reference book)|The Master]]" supplement book, which was similar to (but not entirely consistent with) the in-universe biography given for [[the Master]] in FASA's own ''[[CIA File Extracts (novel)|CIA File Extracts]]''.
+According to the book, the Master could control the form of his incarnations, and frequently used the same face. In a constant, [[beard]]ed [[aristocrat]] form, the Master worked as a [[researcher]] on [[Gallifrey]] until his fifth incarnation attempted to lead a [[rebellion]] on Gallifrey, with [[the War Chief]] among his followers, which ended in failure and forced the now [[renegade Time Lord|renegade]] to regenerate into an "average" clean-shaven form, becoming known as [[First Monk|the Monk]] in his sixth and seventh incarnations. When the Master's activities as the Monk became known, he chose a new [[disguise]] when a crisis triggered his next regeneration, assuming {{Delgado|n=a bearded appearance similar but distinct to his initial form}}. The appearance by which he would become best known, the Master was a dark, strikingly handsome and apparently middle-aged man, whilst in reality he was [[The Master's age|over 800 years old]]. He had an average height and build with distinguishing features including a "[[satan]]ic" [[beard]] and piercing [[grey]] [[eye]]s whilst he was generally dressed in a [[black]] [[tunic]] with [[glove]]s.
+At the start of his twelfth incarnation, the Master's fine, greying hair was brushed straight back from a high [[forehead]] and his black "devil's beard" was always "immaculately" groomed. His eyes remained a piercing grey, while his [[nose]] would be "best described as [[hawk]]like".
