Prior to his sixth regeneration, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Quantum Archangel (novel)|The Quantum Archangel]]'') [[the Doctor]]'s first known encounter with Fenric was in [[Constantinople]] in the middle of the [[3rd century]]. Fenric (then known as Aboo-Fenrán) had been terrorising the area, when the prince [[El-Amjad]] tried to force him to leave. Fenric agreed, provided the prince gave him the first thing he named when he returned to his castle. El-Amjad agreed to this, but when the first thing El-Amjad named was his youngest daughter (due to the meddling of Fenric), he instead sent a chest of [[gold]]. When Fenric learned that El-Amjad would not give up his daughter, he continued to ravage the countryside. | Prior to his sixth regeneration, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Quantum Archangel (novel)|The Quantum Archangel]]'') [[the Doctor]]'s first known encounter with Fenric was in [[Constantinople]] in the middle of the [[3rd century]].

The Doctor went out to Fenric and challenged him to a game of [[chess]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Curse of Fenric (novelisation)|The Curse of Fenric]]'') with Fenric carving pieces from the bones in the desert to play against the "lonely old man". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Runes of Fenric (short story)|The Runes of Fenric]]'') After forty days of stalemates, the Doctor was able to convince Fenric that with one move, he would win. Fenric spent another 40 days trying to figure out what this one move was, growing weaker all the time. Eventually, he became so weak that the Doctor was able to trap Fenric in a [[flask]] and banish him to the [[Shadow Dimensions]].
