In | In the [[Unbound Universe]], '''an [[incarnation]] of the Doctor''' was [[exile]]d by the [[Time Lord (Unbound Universe)|Time Lords]] at the end of his previous incarnation's [[life]]. However, although he was supposed to be exiled to [[Earth (Unbound Universe)|Earth]] in the [[1970s]], he instead arrived at Earth in [[1997]]. Because of this, the Doctor was not present to help [[UNIT (Unbound Universe)|UNIT]] as their [[scientific advisor]], as the [[Third Doctor]] of [[N-Space]] had been in said [[universe]]. | ||
After the [[Great War ( | After the [[Great War (Unbound Universe)|Great War]] devastated his universe, the Doctor was believed to be the last of his kind and thus held the title "Ruler of the Universe". In a failed attempt to escape to another universe, he brought [[Bernice Summerfield]] from N-Space to his universe, and they began travelling together. The Doctor eventually devised a way to protect the surviving parts of his universe and return Benny to N-Space, becoming stranded in said universe in the process. | ||

After being put on trial by the [[Time Lord ( | After being put on trial by the [[Time Lord (Unbound Universe)|Time Lords]], the Doctor was told that he would be exiled to Earth in the 1970s. However, his [[The Doctor's TARDIS (Unbound Universe)|TARDIS]] instead arrived in [[Hong Kong]] on [[30 June]] [[1997]]. | ||
Immediately after leaving the TARDIS, the Doctor bumped into [[Marcus ( | Immediately after leaving the TARDIS, the Doctor bumped into [[Marcus (Unbound Universe)|Marcus]] and [[Adam (Unbound Universe)|Adam]]. He followed them to ''[[the Little England]]'', a pub run by [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart (Unbound Universe)|Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]]. The Doctor recognised the Brigadier and convinced him that he was the same person with whom Alistair fought [[Robot Yeti]] in the [[London Underground]]. The Doctor was concerned that he had arrived in the wrong time, as he had wanted to meet the Brigadier much earlier. | ||
During their conversation, a Chinese plane disguised with [[chameleon circuit]] technology flew over them and crashed onto a nearby mountain. The Doctor and the Brigadier went to the crash site and helped the [[Pilot (Sympathy for the Devil)|pilot]] get out of the wreckage and recover. UNIT arrived and brought the pilot to a nearby monastery. At the monastery, the Doctor heard that [[Ling]] saw a man [[Regeneration|change his appearance]] and realised that {{Kisgart}} was on the crashed plane. | During their conversation, a Chinese plane disguised with [[chameleon circuit]] technology flew over them and crashed onto a nearby mountain.

The Master revealed himself by releasing an alien parasite which had been kept trapped at the monastery.

The Doctor talked with the Master and made a deal once he'd learnt the Master was just as trapped as he himself was now. The Master agreed to stop his plan in exchange for [[The Doctor's TARDIS (Unbound Universe)|the Doctor's TARDIS]] after the Master had lost [[The Master's TARDIS (Unbound Universe)|his own TARDIS]]. The Doctor tricked the Master by saying that ''the Little England'' was his TARDIS. The Master attempted to cross the Doctor and leave him trapped in Hong Kong with the parasite. Instead, the Doctor took the parasite into his TARDIS while the Master went into the pub. The Brigadier came with the Doctor and they dematerialised to [[Mongolia]]. The Doctor dropped the parasite into a test area seconds before it was hit by a nuclear bomb and it was killed. | ||
Instead of returning to Hong Kong, the Doctor and Alistair decided to travel through time and space, the sheer power of the nuclear explosion disrupting the inhibitor the Time Lords had placed on the TARDIS so that the ship could once again freely move in time and space as the Doctor wished.

Upon visiting [[Skaro (Unbound Universe)|Skaro]], he helped [[Gillen]] and the other [[Thal (Unbound Universe)|Thals]] to stop the [[Dalek (Unbound Universe)|Daleks]]. He created a neutraliser which altered a Dalek's mind so that it would believe that it was the returned [[Davros (Unbound Universe)|Davros]]. This created some dissidence among the Daleks. However, when the new threat of the [[Quatch]] attacked Skaro, the Doctor suggested an alliance between the Daleks and Thals so that they could stop the Quatch, he and Alistair acting as the alliance's military leaders so that the Quatch could not predict what their opponents would do. With the Quatch defeated after the returned Davros sacrificed himself to destroy the equipment keeping them in this reality, the Doctor departed, although Alistair remained to help mediate the new Dalek/Thal alliance.

At some point, the [[Great War ( | At some point, the [[Great War (Unbound Universe)|Great War]] was waged across the universe. The Doctor later claimed he’d tried to stay out of the conflict and tried to help from the sidelines, but had been unable to stop the devastation. [[Mandeville]] claimed that the Doctor was actually a participant, being known as the “Cautious Warrior” for his tactic of sidling up to his enemies and stabbing them in the back. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Library in the Body (audio story)|The Library in the Body]]'') At one point during the War the Doctor tried to offer the Time Lords advice, but found they would not listen to him. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Asking for a Friend (audio story)|Asking for a Friend]]'') | ||
The Doctor worked with the Master during the conflict. Towards the end of the War, the Master had acquired a weapon that would destroy the enemy at the cost of essentially destroying the universe as well. The Doctor abandoned him in the hope that the Master would be unable to activate the weapon without him.

With [[Great War ( | With [[Great War (Unbound Universe)|the war]]'s aftermath causing [[Parallel universe (Unbound Universe)|the universe]] to face collapse, the Doctor travelled to the prime universe to find Professor [[Bernice Summerfield]], hoping that he could latch onto her unique [[artron energy]] signature to anchor him to that universe so he could escape. Instead, it dragged her back into his own. Returned to his dying universe, they visited to [[The Library (Unbound Universe)|the Library]] to find [[knowledge]]. He wanted to protect the Library from the [[Kareem]], until he realised the Library was a parasite after reading one of its books.

Despite the Doctor's protestations that [[Planet X ( | Despite the Doctor's protestations that [[Planet X (Unbound Universe)|Planet X]] was boring, Bernice managed to persuade him. He was arrested upon arrival for being too interesting. He discovered that the populace was decreasing due to the population being processed to be boring, believing that they would be protected from the wider universe if nobody was interested in them. He was to be processed but the gas they used didn't affect him. He worked out that 20 million people were killed in 5 years. He escaped and met [[Ego (Unbound Universe)|Ego]] where he was invited to a suicide party and re-arrested. In the final confrontation with [[Prime Minister 470]], he exposed the truth about her reign while she was trying to torture him whilst broadcasting to the entire planet, encouraging the rest of the population to explore possibilities rather than being boring all the time. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Planet X (audio story)|Planet X]]'') | ||
The two of them then visited Tramatz to stop an imminent attack but he got distracted by the singing river, wandering off until Benny finally found him again. [[Megatz]] inquired into why they were there but he had forgotton why after a couple of weeks on the planet. When Benny saw a unicorn he told her to talk to it to calm it down. He spent his time listening to the world. He wouldn't allow Benny to keep the unicorn. It became glaringly obvious that a weapon that had ended the war was warping reality and making people unaware of their impending doom. After the weapon was disabled, he decided to visit Admiral [[Effenish]] in order to try and stop the war from restarting.

The TARDIS then received a distress call from the [[Mother Superior ( | The TARDIS then received a distress call from the [[Mother Superior (Unbound Universe)|Mother Superior]] to take a crowd of refugees to the Emporium, as the end of the universe appeared to be nigh. There he met the Manager, the Master in disguise, and found him familiar. He was escorted out of the building for trying to sneak around the Master's offices. He later decided to sell his memories to help people escape this universe, only to learn that he had already sold them to keep this universe alive. With this revelation, and his subconscious recognition of the Master, the Doctor realised that the Master's portal, which was allegedly sending lucky people to an alternate universe, was actually disintegrating them and creating the illusion of accelerated universal destruction so that the Master could guarantee his own escape. The Master was subsequently thrown into the portal by the angry sisters and seemingly disintegrated, leaving the Doctor and Benny to explore this universe and find another way to save it.

Benny eventually asked him to come and look at her dig. He did but their friendship soured as he was grumpy at his job, due to the amount of paper work and the remedial talks he had to do. He became stuck on Merin as he hadn’t negotiated a settlement to prevent strikes of the spaceport staff, due to being busy. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The City and the Clock (audio story)|The City and the Clock]]'') | ||

Troubled by his inability to help others due to the bureaucracy of his position as president, he attended regular appointments with the therapist [[Guilana ( | The Doctor began working to create a “safe zone” with the Clock and oversaw the evacuation of planets to move their populations to safety. Troubled by his inability to help others due to the bureaucracy of his position as president, he attended regular appointments with the therapist [[Guilana (Unbound Universe)|Guilana]]. He discussed such issues as his perception of other people as tools to help him or his frustration at the bureaucracy that prevented him helping certain planets as he tried to "punish" troublesome rulers who were exploiting the situation. She helped him to remember portions of the Great War. However, his appointments ended when he was revealed to have manipulated Guilana's timeline to save her former fiancé from the shuttle accident that killed him. He did this because he wanted to make someone happy when he lost a planet and a friend. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Asking for a Friend (audio story)|Asking for a Friend]]'') | ||
The Doctor plotted to step down from running the universe, and concocted a grand scheme to make the change seem natural. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The True Saviour of the Universe (audio story)|The True Saviour of the Universe]]'') He absconded from his duties and went off in the TARDIS for adventures to try and find some random alien invasion to deal with, but his efforts failed as his new reputation meant that every alien he encountered immediately backed down when they recognised him. Benny eventually caught up with him and together investigated his only discovery of an actual invasion. However this proved much more morally complex than he’d hoped as the "invasion" had occurred sixty years earlier and aside from the children of the original invaders, the only member of the planet's original inhabitants left was one old woman who liked her isolation, forcing the Doctor to accept things as they were.

He appeared before the Parliament, deliberately antagonising them, and explained the Clock was ready but he couldn’t take the risk of activating it due to an unknown release of energy. This confession allowed the Master to take his place as he promised to activate it regardless, which won over the angry Parliament. The Doctor appeared to take the rejection badly and disappeared, however was actually reconfiguring the TARDIS. When the Master activated the Clock the energy discharge began to awaken the [[Great Old Ones]], as the Master had anticipated, however the Doctor used the TARDIS to steal the energy, materialising in front of Benny in the midst of a panicking crowd. In the “downsized” TARDIS, he used the energy to return Benny to her home universe. He explained that, without the Great Old Ones, the Master would be constrained by the bureaucracy and Parliament, so may end up actually being a good ruler of the safe zone in his place. He and Benny set out together to explore her universe. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The True Saviour of the Universe (audio story)|The True Saviour of the Universe]]'') | ||

He later became of professor at a university. He told Benny to remember her real memories. From time to time he appeared to her at key points and to influence her decisions. He hoped that her memories would come back soon. Benny asked the Doctor about him and this Summerfield person, and how they came to this planet and stayed because they thought there was a mystery to solve.
