The Monk was deeply affected by the death of Tamsin Drew. In his despair, he formulated a plan to remove the Doctor from history so that Tamsin's death would never come to pass, convincing himself that the Doctor alone was responsible. He located [[Sophia (The Secret History)|Sophia]], a time-sensitive Human/[[Hetrodon]] hybrid in ancient [[Greece]] and used her abilities to create a hole in space-time, which the Monk planned to use to take the Doctor's place in history.

([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Last of the Cybermen (audio story)|Last of the Cybermen]]'') However, with the aid of their companions, the displaced Doctors were able to realise how their past selves would have dealt with the crisis and act accordingly before the Monk's influence was undone and the original Doctors returned.

Finally, the Monk lured the [[Fifth Doctor]] to [[Constantinople]] in the year [[540]] in the place of the [[First Doctor]], where he successfully replaced the Doctor's timeline with his own after putting the Doctor in a position where he would have to let alien healers take action on Earth or preserve history and let innocent people die. However, Sophia was able to sense the distortion to history as the Monk's casual interference made things worse, and used her abilities to bring the Doctor back into existence. The Doctor brought a group of [[Antoim]] warriors to [[Earth]] in order to blackmail the Monk into restoring the Doctor's timeline, the Monk faced with being killed by the Antoene for the Doctor's actions and the Doctor only willing to share his plan to stop them if the Monk restored his timeline. Lost for any better options, the Monk obliged before fleeing once again, informing the Doctor that he would return again, although the Doctor dismissed that plan as unimportant.

[[The Monk's TARDIS|His TARDIS]] was his "pride and joy," ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Resurrection of Mars (audio story)|The Resurrection of Mars]]'') and he would boast both about his plans and his TARDIS, and he enjoyed mocking the Doctor whenever they met.

During a later encounter with the Monk when he discovered the other Time Lord was helping the [[Dalek]]s re-conquer [[Earth]] in the [[22nd century]], the Doctor stated the Monk was "like a child, a dangerously powerful child," and he "needed to grow up. Fast." Tamsin Drew also claimed the Monk was a child before she learnt the truth of the Daleks' presence on Earth. The Doctor also claimed the Monk to be "out of his depth."

The Monk often came across as a wannabe rather than a true villain or hero, with his greater plans and objectives fundamentally undermined by his own inability to recognise his limitations, such as participating in an alliance with the Daleks to conquer Earth because he believed that the Daleks would be defeated eventually. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[To the Death (audio story)|To the Death]]'') The consequences of his attitude were most clearly demonstrated when he was able to implement a complex plan that saw him taking the Doctor's place in the belief that he could be better than the Doctor, only for his former ally to see the future he would create and recognise that the Monk's active interference in history were making things worse than they would have been if the Doctor had been allowed to continue existing and adopting his usual pattern of stepping in during great danger but otherwise allowing people to make their own mistakes.
