[[File:DustBreedingMaster.jpg|thumb|left|The Master's masked disguise as "Mr. Seta". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Dust Breeding]]'')]] | |||
After having his [[Trakenite]] body stripped from him, and reduced to his previous decaying form, by the [[Warp Core]], the Master collected four [[Krill]] eggs with the intention of awakening the Warp Core from its slumber and exhausting it, so that he could draw it into [[The Master's TARDIS|his TARDIS]] to be his slave. The Master then used a mask to disguise his deformity and followed the Warp Core as it arrived on [[Duchamp 331]]. Under the alias "Mr. Seta", the Master funded Madame [[Salvadori]]'s trip to Duchamp 331. | |||
There, the Master unleashed the Krill upon the passengers, hypnotising Salvadori's aide, [[Klemp]], in the process. Revealing his true identity, the Master kept Salvadori alive, before encountering the [[Seventh Doctor]]. When the Core arrived, the Master tried to ally with it, but it dismissed him, leading him to ordering Klemp to kill Salvadori, but Klemp's loyalty was too strong, so the Master killed him. The Doctor escaped to his TARDIS, and attempted to gain control of the Warp Core through his TARDIS's telepathic circuits, while the Master used his TARDIS to fight of the Doctor's influence, and gain control of it. After it and the planet was destroyed, the Master was flung through time and space. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Dust Breeding (audio story)|Dust Breeding]]'') | |||
===== Living a peaceful life ===== | |||
The Doctor made a deal with [[Death (Timewyrm: Revelation)|Death]] for the Master to have ten years of peace and sanity, at the end of which the Doctor had to kill him. To this end, Death transformed the Master into "[[John Smith (Master)|John Smith]]", an ordinary physician on the colony world of [[Perfugium]] with [[amnesia|no memory of his past]]. Smith was taken in by [[Wolstonecroft]], and inherited his house when Wolstonecroft died, and became emotionally involved with [[Jacqueline Schaeffer]]. The Master remained active in Smith's subconscious, but was unable to influence the world around him. | |||
At the end of the allotted time, the Doctor arrived to kill Smith, but strove to avoid fulfilling his side of the bargain. Death herself was present at these events, disguised as Smith's maid, and manipulated events so that the Master would become dominant once more. Her endgame was for Smith to make a decision that would ensure he remained in control; to kill [[Victor Schaeffer]] or allow Jacqueline to die by her husband's hand, but Smith was unable to kill Victor, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Master (audio story)|Master]]'') and became the Master again as a result.

After possessing [[Tremas]]'s body, the Master became a more flamboyantly [[evil]], bombastic and sophisticated individual, ([[TV]]: ''[[Logopolis (TV story)|Logopolis]]'', ''[[Castrovalva (TV story)|Castrovalva]]'', ''[[Time-Flight]]'', ''[[The King's Demons]]'', ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'', ''[[The Ultimate Foe]]'') who only put trust in himself. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Mark of the Rani]]'') He was prone to laughing maniacally and reciting lengthy and verbose speeches, accompanied by melodramatic gestures and poses. ([[TV]]: ''[[Time-Flight]]'', ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'', ''[[The Mark of the Rani]]'') The [[Seventh Doctor]] even recalled the "Tremas" Master as having "a taste for [[melodrama]]."

When called evil by the Doctor, the Master objected that he "crave[d] power, dominion, [and ] knowledge of the forbidden and the secret". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Master (audio story)|Master]]'') | |||
The "Tremas" Master was unwilling to share any form of power with others, often betraying those he worked with to accomplish his own goals, ([[TV]]: ''[[Logopolis (TV story)|Logopolis]]'', ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'', ''[[The Ultimate Foe]]'', ''[[Survival]]'') even when working with his other incarnations.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Five Masters]]'') | ||
While in Tremas's body, the Master became devoted to killing the Doctor, often employing elaborate gambits and strategies to this end. ([[TV]]: ''[[Castrovalva (TV story)|Castrovalva]]'', ''[[The Mark of the Rani]]''; [[GAME]]: ''[[Destiny of the Doctors]]'') However, he mused that a cosmos without the Doctor "scarcely bear[ed] thinking about", and was willing to join forces with the Doctor if he viewed it as beneficial to himself.

([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Dust Breeding (audio story)|Dust Breeding]]'') | ||
He showed a genuine disregard for life and was often uninterested in how many people died at his hands, ([[TV]]: ''[[Logopolis (TV story)|Logopolis]]'', ''[[Castrovalva (TV story)|Castrovalva]]'', ''[[The King's Demons]]'', ''[[Survival]]'') and had a particular fondness for the [[Tissue Compression Eliminator]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Logopolis (TV story)|Logopolis]]'', ''[[Time-Flight]]'', ''[[Planet of Fire]]'', ''[[The Mark of the Rani]]'') However, he showed an unusual level of moral standards when he apologised to [[Peri Brown]] for involving her in a battle that was originally supposed to be between him and the [[Sixth Doctor]], and was genuinely horrified when the Rani's contraption turned [[Luke Ward]] into a tree, although the Doctor considered it an example of how warped and callous the Master was if he thought that establishing that Luke's death was an accident was any kind of excuse. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Mark of the Rani]]'') He was also horrified upon witnessing the [[Kotturuh]]s' judgement on [[Alexis]].

After he was infected by the [[Cheetah virus]], the Master became more calm and calculating. However, as the virus took its toll, he became more animalistic and sadistic, taking satisfaction in murdering [[Karra]] and attempting to hit the Seventh Doctor's head with a club during their fight.

([[TV]]: ''[[Survival]]'') | ||
After losing his body to the [[Warp Core]], the Master became a far darker person, but was calmer and well spoken, which made him sound more sinister. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Dust Breeding (audio story)|Dust Breeding]]'', ''[[Master (audio story)|Master]]'') He seemed to enjoy being mysterious about his true identity and enjoyed giving his enemies riddles as to who he truly was. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Dust Breeding (audio story)|Dust Breeding]]'') When trapped in John Smith's subconscious, the Master was aware of Smith's activities, but was unable to influence them. He spent his time taunting Smith and trying to get him to indulge in his violent impulses. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Master (audio story)|Master]]'') | |||
The "Tremas" Master had various opinions of the first seven incarnations of the Doctor. He referred to the [[First Doctor]] as a "bore", the [[Second Doctor]] as an "incapable comedian", the [[Third Doctor]] as a "worthy foe", the [[Fourth Doctor]] as "the bohemian, [and] the wanderer", believed that the [[Fifth Doctor]] was "the nice one full of charm, innocence, and naiveté", described the Sixth Doctor as "the blustering one with the stupid coat", and that the [[Seventh Doctor]] was "too busy setting traps" to realise the ones "set for him".

While combating [[the Graak]] in [[the Determinant]], the Master adopted many costume changes to suit the situation he found himself in; wearing an a conductor hat with an "M"-insignia at a platform station, a bowler hat while on a train taunting the Graak, a [[Dalek Trooper]] helmet while commanding a rocker launcher, and a plastic crown at a medieval themed festival.

When the Master was robbed of his [[Trakenite]] body by the [[Warp Core]], he regained his disfigured appearance, which [[Ace]] described as resembling [[Freddy Krueger]] and "a dropped [[pizza]]". To hide his disfigurement, the Master took to wearing a golden mask with diamonds encrusted inside it. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Dust Breeding]]'') After becoming John Smith, the Master did not hide his disfigurement and wore a suit instead. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Master (audio story)|Master]]'') | |||
