The Seventh Corsair was a female incarnation of the Renegade Time Lord known as the Corsair, who travelled with a parrot as her companion. On at least two occasions, she opposed the Daleks, something the Corsair did rarely, although on neither occasion did she face them directly.

Biography

This incarnation of the Corsair was "spotted" on Clarkor Nine on the night a Dalek scout ship landed there. Sneaking aboard, she detached the nine Dalek occupants' manipulator arms and gunsticks and then welded them together into "a shape that meant something very rude in Skarosian".

As a favour for the First Doctor, the Corsair travelled to the City Obsidian in the Imperial Edifice of Infinite Steps to steal the Hand of Omega. Although pursued by troop ships belonging to the Supreme Leader, she escaped with the Hand of Omega and managed to deliver it to the First Doctor prior to him leaving Gallifrey as instructed. However, her Parrot companion did leave a single blue feather behind, which was discovered by the Supreme Leader. (PROSE: One Virtue, and a Thousand Crimes) The Doctor subsequently buried the Hand of Omega on 1963 Earth, setting in motion a centuries-long plan to destroy the Daleks.

Appearance

This Corsair was a dark-skinned woman with scarlet hair. She wore a viridian coat, with tan leather and dark cherry coloured clothes which were patched and bartered. She also wore a tricorn hat with hyacinth blue plumes that were donated by her Parrot companion after a moult. (PROSE: One Virtue, and a Thousand Crimes)
