 '''Harold Saxon''', or '''Harry''', was a fictional [[human]] [[politician]]. Using this constructed persona as an [[alias]], [[The Master (Utopia)|an incarnation]] of the [[Renegade Time Lord]] known as [[Saxon Master|the Master]] infiltrated the [[British government]], even being elected as [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom]], before using this position to effect a takeover of [[Earth]]. Though he then dropped the façade and openly presented himself as "the Master," some continued to refer to him by the name of "Saxon", including a [[Disciples of Saxon|cult of disciples]] he had founded.

-=== Background ===
 In the [[year]] [[100,000,000,000,000]], {{Jacobi}}, shortly after asserting himself back over his [[human]] [[Professor]] [[Yana]] [[disguise]], which he created to hide from the [[Last Great Time War]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sound of Drums (TV story)|The Sound of Drums]]'') was fatally shot by [[Chantho]]. This forced him to [[regenerate]] into his next [[incarnation]] but not before he shut himself inside [[the Doctor's TARDIS]]. From within the TARDIS, the [[voice]] of {{Simm}} was recognised by [[Martha Jones]] before he took his leave, stranding the [[Tenth Doctor]] and his [[companion]]s ([[TV]]: ''[[Utopia (TV story)|Utopia]]'') but not before the Doctor used his [[sonic screwdriver]] to fuse the TARDIS' [[coordinate]]s, ostensibly restricting the Master to travel between the year 100,000,000,000,000 and the last place the TARDIS landed in [[2008]], though a "little [[leeway]]" of eighteen [[month]]s existed. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sound of Drums (TV story)|The Sound of Drums]]'')
-As discovered by [[Vivien Rook]], the recorded life of the [[human]] Harold Saxon had been fabricated by the Master. [[Born]] to a [[Harold Saxon's mother|mother]] and [[Harold Saxon's father|father]] who did not exist, Saxon went through [[school]], earnt a [[degree]], and attended [[Cambridge University]]. In reality, Saxon never went to the [[university]]. As [[Martha Jones]] recalled, Saxon "[gone] back [[year]]s", was recognised for the "[[rugby]] [[blue]]", winning "the [[athletics]] thing", writing a [[novel]] and going into [[business]].

+During eighteen months, as discovered by [[Vivien Rook]], the Master fabricated the recorded life of Harold Saxon, making his first true physical appearance just after the [[downfall]] of [[British Prime Minister]] [[Harriet Jones]].

+[[Born]] to a [[Harold Saxon's mother|mother]] and [[Harold Saxon's father|father]], Saxon went through [[school]], earnt a [[degree]], and graduated from [[Cambridge University]].

 As recorded by [[Vivien Rook]], Harold Saxon made his first true appearance just after the [[downfall]] of [[British Prime Minister]] [[Harriet Jones]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sound of Drums (TV story)|The Sound of Drums]]'') which was brought about the [[Tenth Doctor]] on [[25 December]] [[2006]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Christmas Invasion (TV story)|The Christmas Invasion]]'') At the same time, the [[Archangel Network]] of fifteen [[satellite]]s was launched by Saxon, already a [[minister]] in the [[British government]]. Ostensibly a [[mobile phone]] network, Archangel was used by the Master to influence the [[human]] [[population]] of Earth, first to believe the story of "Harold Saxon", then to "[[Vote Saxon]]", as well as preventing [[the Doctor]] from sensing him as another [[Time Lord]] on Earth. However, the Master later conceded that only "99" or "98" [[percent]] of [[people]] were successfully influenced. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sound of Drums (TV story)|The Sound of Drums]]'', ''[[The Christmas Invasion (TV story)|The Christmas Invasion]]'') Among those who were affected was [[Martha Jones]], who had intended to [[vote]] for Saxon despite being ignorant of his [[policy|policies]] and what he stood for. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sound of Drums (TV story)|The Sound of Drums]]'')
-Harold [[marriage|married]] a woman named [[Lucy Saxon]] who, as Rook observed, came from a "not especially bright but essentially harmless" [[family]]. As Lucy recalled, Harold was "so very good" to [[Lucy Saxon's father|her father]]. In reality, Lucy ultimately understood who Harold really was, and chose to become his [[companion]] and [[wife]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sound of Drums (TV story)|The Sound of Drums]]'') Using [[the Doctor's TARDIS]], the two visited the [[end of the universe]] and gained the [[allegiance]] of the [[Toclafane]], the [[cyborg]] descendants of [[human]]ity. ([[TV]]: ''[[Last of the Time Lords (TV story)|Last of the Time Lords]]'')

 While on Earth, he formed the [[Disciples of Saxon]], a group of humans who worshipped Harold Saxon, while realising that his true name was the Master. Composing the [[Secret Books of Saxon]], he prepared [[Potion of Life|Potions of Life]] that would be used to [[resurrect]] him in the event of his death.
