According to one account, the Master, on his final incarnation and possessing a black goatee, was tried and executed by the [[Dalek]]s, making a request for the Doctor to return his remains to Gallifrey, only to use a [[Deathworm Morphant]] to take the Doctor's TARDIS to [[1999]] [[San Francisco]], where he possessed the body of [[Bruce (Doctor Who)|an ambulance driver]].

In contrast to his previous incarnation, | In contrast to his previous incarnation, the "Tzun" Master was calmer, less emotional and flustered, with a proud bearing and an inscrutable demeanour, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[First Frontier (novel)|First Frontier]]'') though he would resort to a panicked state upon confronting the unexpected. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Happy Endings (novel)|Happy Endings]]'') Highly manipulative, the Master would maintain control of a situation, while making others around him think he was not, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[First Frontier (novel)|First Frontier]]'') though would lose this advantage when he knew he was overpowered, such as when at [[Bernice Summerfield]] and [[Jason Kane]]'s wedding. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Happy Endings (novel)|Happy Endings]]'') | ||
Unlike his immediate predecessor, | Unlike his immediate predecessor, the "Tzun" Master was aware that his theatrical plotting could be his undoing, but found amusement in the irony rather than bitterness. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Happy Endings (novel)|Happy Endings]]'') | ||
He thought very highly of his hypnotic skills, finding it amusing when he made two guards believe he was Major Kreer. He looked down at humanity, treating them like children, and believed the concept of regeneration to be beyond them, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[First Frontier (novel)|First Frontier]]'') and showed a disdain for explaining things he did not have interest in. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Happy Endings (novel)|Happy Endings]]'') However, he showed some respect towards [[Ace]], who had killed his previous incarnation, believing she would make a good enforcer and admiring her willpower.

He also enjoyed [[fencing]] with [[Mike Yates]] and [[Sarah Jane Smith]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Housewarming (short story)|Housewarming]]'') | He also enjoyed [[fencing]] with [[Mike Yates]] and [[Sarah Jane Smith]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Housewarming (short story)|Housewarming]]'') | ||
While he agreed with the [[Ice Lord]] [[Savaar]] that he lacked a degree of honour, the Master would only resort to harming others if he found an advantage in the act, opting to perform with "a considerable degree of leniency" when sabotaging Bernice and Jason's wedding until he was forced to take Bernice hostage at gunpoint during the ceremony.

The "Tzun" Master was just as adept at winding the Doctor up as his predecessor was, claiming that the [[Seventh Doctor]]'s pacifism was pure hypocrisy, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[First Frontier (novel)|First Frontier]]'') and taking delight in his apparent inability to protect his friends from [[Bloom (Happy Endings)|Bloom]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Happy Endings (novel)|Happy Endings]]'') However, he did hold the Doctor in some regard, believing the Tzun incapable of overpowering him on their own, and insisting he was a threat to be eliminated, though he felt bittersweet about it, admitting to himself that the Doctor was an inspiring adversary, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[First Frontier (novel)|First Frontier]]'') though reacted with horror when four variants of the Seventh Doctor confronted him at once. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Happy Endings (novel)|Happy Endings]]'') | |||
Nonetheless, the Master pointed out that the Doctor preferred to kill and destroy from a distance, such as with the [[Sea Devil]]s. To prove this point, the Master handed the Doctor a blaster and baited him to shoot him at close range, which the Doctor refused to do.

The Master had a high forehead, glossy moustache, neat beard, aristocratic nose and a lean face, and spoke in a rich cultured voice. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[First Frontier]]'') He wore a Vandyke beard, a dark Italian-designed suit, a silk shirt, and a cravat with a silver bird-of-prey tiepin.
