According to one account, {{Delgado}} who fought the [[Third Doctor]] during the latter's [[exile on Earth]] ([[TV]]: ''[[Terror of the Autons (TV story)|Terror of the Autons]]'') was forced to [[regenerate]] after being injured in a temporal storm after an encounter with the [[Twelfth Doctor]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Doorway to Hell (comic story)|Doorway to Hell]]'') Because he was suffering from an [[artron energy]] deficiency ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Dead Travel Fast (short story)|The Dead Travel Fast]]'') as a result of the storm, his regeneration went wrong ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Doorway to Hell (comic story)|Doorway to Hell]]'') and his new incarnation was brought into existence already horribly scarred. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Dead Travel Fast (short story)|The Dead Travel Fast]]'') This {{Pratt|n=Decayed Master}} was believed by his fellow [[Time Lord]]s to be at the end of his [[regeneration cycle]] following a twelfth regeneration. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Deadly Assassin (TV story)|The Deadly Assassin]]'') | |||
According to one account, the Decayed Master emerged as a result of [[Susan Foreman]] forcing the "UNIT era" Master out onto [[Tersurus]] and attacking him with the [[Tissue Compression Eliminator]] while he was holding the [[Dalek]]s' [[matter transmuter]].
