=== Start of darkness ===

Wanting to start afresh without any specific plans of conquest, the Master began calling himself "Koschei" again, and also started taking on [[human]] [[companion]]s like [[the Doctor]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Face of the Enemy (novel)|The Face of the Enemy]]'') However, Koschei had a Time Lady named [[Ailla (The Dark Path)|Ailla]] planted on him by the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]] to monitor his unstable obsession with order; Ailla posed as a [[human]] so Koschei would take her on as his companion during a stopover in the [[28th century]]. Koschei caught up with the [[Second Doctor]] at the [[Darkheart]] colony in the early years of the [[Galactic Federation]]. The temptation posed by the Darkheart device, capable of altering timelines without causing paradoxes or attracting the attention of various "higher beings", proved too much for Koschei, and the revelation that Ailla was a spy killed the last traces of [[good]] in him, and he swore that the Doctor would one day call him "Master". After the Doctor left him to die in a [[black hole]], Koschei swore that he would take revenge. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Dark Path (novel)|The Dark Path]]'') The Master later reflected that this had been the end of Koschei as a person, with the Time Lord that existed afterwards being only "the Master".
