The Master
A particulary incompetent version of the Master attempted to destroy the Ninth Doctor on the planet Tersurus.
Biography
While spying on the Doctor, the Master inadvertently enabled two way communication and unwittingly revealed his plans to eliminate the Doctor. After the two had arranged to meet on Tersurus, it became apparent the Master had travelled back in time to bribe a Tersuron architect to install traps in the castle they were now in. Unbeknownst to him, the Doctor had also done the same, bribing the architect to change the traps' details. This led to the Master floundering around the sewers of Tersurus for centuries, after which he was forced to ally himself with the Daleks, as they were the only life-forms without noses and hence the only creatures willing to work with him.
As part of this alliance, the Master had himself "augmented" with Dalek technology, resulting in a more youthful appearance and "Dalek bumps" on his chest. Although he remained adamant they were etheric beam locators, the Doctor continually teased the Master because they resembled breasts.
When he believed the Twelfth Doctor to have been killed by the zectronic beam, the Master renounced his evil ways before the Doctor regenerated into a female form. Attracted to each other, the Time Lords walked off, arm in arm. (DW: The Curse of Fatal Death)
Behind the scenes
- Like The Curse of Fatal Death, this version of the Master is not considered canon.
- He has been called "The 17th Master" by some fans, based upon a behind-the-scenes featurette on the making of the spoof. In the special itself he is not referred to as anything but the Master.
