Now in his eighteenth incarnation, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Girl Power!

Arfter reverting to his true personality, the Master was shot by Chanto after he fatally wounded her, forcing him to [[regenerate]] inside [[the Doctor's TARDIS]].

Now in his eighteenth incarnation, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Girl Power! (short story)|Girl Power!]]'') the Master left the Doctor, Martha and Jack on the [[planet]] [[Malcassairo]] with [[Futurekind]] about to burst in the laboratory door, taking the TARDIS and the Doctor's DNA template via [[the Doctor's hand]], which Jack had taken with him to Malcassairo. ([[TV]]: ''[[Utopia (TV story)|Utopia]]'') Because of the Doctor's last-minute intervention, the TARDIS would only take the Master to [[Earth]] in the [[2000s]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sound of Drums]]'') with his first stop being to the [[Scoundrels Club]] to recover from the regeneration process.

The Master took on the alias "Harold Saxon" and set about fabricating "Saxon's" past to gain political support, making his first public appearance shortly after the downfall of [[Harriet Jones]] on [[Christmas Day]] [[2006]]. "Harold Saxon" released his autobiography, ''[[Kiss Me, Kill Me]]'', and, while writing the book, met the Honourable [[Lucy Saxon|Lucy Cole]], who was working in publishing; they were married in 2007. He also cannibalised and converted the Doctor's TARDIS into a [[paradox machine]] to change history, and took Lucy to see the universe.

The Master visited "Saxon's" old high school during the campaign, using the [[Archangel Network]] to brainwash the staff into having false memories of "Saxon" to gain political support.

Before the Doctor, Martha and Captain Jack arrived back from the end of the universe, the Master had sent [[Torchwood Three]] on a wild-goose chase to the [[Himalayas]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sound of Drums]]'') and, along with all other incarnations of the Master, was kidnapped by the [[Sild]].

He gathered his Cabinet for a meeting in the re-built [[10 Downing Street]] and accused them of being traitors for abandoning their political parties to jump on his political ticket.

The Master moved to the ''Valiant'', which the governments of Earth considered neutral territory and therefore fitting for formal first contact with alien life.

Using the results from Professor Lazarus's experiment, along with the DNA in the Doctor's hand, the Master used his laser screwdriver to age the Doctor into an old man, and then ordered the Toclafane to kill one tenth of humanity and commence [[Toclafane invasion|their invasion]] as Martha escaped.

Encountering the | Encountering the Doctor soon after, the Master and the Doctor discovered the drumming in the Master's head was real, not just a symptom of insanity. The Doctor also told him of the [[prophecy]] told to him by the [[Ood]], but the Master quickly dismissed it, assuming that it was referring to him. Billionaire [[Joshua Naismith]] then captured the Master and enlisted his assistance to mend the malfunctioning [[Vinvocci]] medical machine, which he had christened the "[[Immortality Gate]]". The Master co-operated for his own purposes. He broke out of a straitjacket and flew into the gateway, which he had working a billion fold on the human template. The gateway sent out an energy pulse that transformed every human on Earth, except Wilf, whom the Doctor protected with a radiation shield, and his granddaughter, [[Donna Noble]], who was unaffected due to her part-Time Lord physiology, into [[the Master Race]] — identical copies of the Master subservient to him. | ||
After the Doctor and Wilf were rescued from the Master by two [[Vinvocci]], the Master used the combined mental powers of the Master Race and a [[White-Point Star]] that had fallen on Earth to trace the origin of the drumbeat in his head. Receiving contact from the [[Time Lord]] [[High Council]] on the last day of the Time War, the Master tore open the [[time lock]] on the war, bringing back the Time Lords. | After the Doctor and Wilf were rescued from the Master by two [[Vinvocci]], the Master used the combined mental powers of the Master Race and a [[White-Point Star]] that had fallen on Earth to trace the origin of the drumbeat in his head.

Rassilon revealed his plans for the [[Ultimate Sanction]]; the Master asked if he could also "ascend into glory", but Rassilon rebuffed him, calling him "diseased" and revealed that he was responsible for the drumming that the Master had experienced all of his life, and prepared to execute him, but the Doctor stepped in with Wilfred's pistol. After some hesitation on whether to shoot Rassilon or the Master, he shot the White-Point Star, destroying the link. Enraged, Rassilon prepared to kill the Doctor, but the Master unleashed his bio-electric blasts at the President, roaring that the Time Lords had manipulated him and made him the monster he had become, counting the beat of the rhythm that had resounded in his head and tormenting him all his life. The Time Lords, Gallifrey, and the Master then vanished in a burst of white light, and were sent "back into [the] hell" of the final day of the Time War.
