=== Final adventures ===
In [[The Corsair (The Doctor's Wife)|his final incarnation]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Wife (TV story)|The Doctor's Wife]]'') he was described as a "strapping big fellow" with "a trustworthy face". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[One Virtue, and a Thousand Crimes (short story)|One Virtue, and a Thousand Crimes]]'') The Corsair went the way of [[House (The Doctor's Wife)|House]]'s numerous other Time Lord victims who had fallen into House's [[bubble universe]] and was marooned when [[The Corsair's TARDIS|his TARDIS]] was drained of energy. The Corsair had only just enough time to get a message together before he was finally killed. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Wife (TV story)|The Doctor's Wife]]'')
An incarnation of the Corsair, described as a "strapping big fellow" with "a trustworthy face" visited the Supreme Leader to collect the feather left behind by his Parrot companion. He also collected a reward for supplying information on the mysterious woman and bird whom had escaped the Supreme Leader. He disappeared, and was never heard from again. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[One Virtue, and a Thousand Crimes (short story)|One Virtue, and a Thousand Crimes]]'')

The final incarnation of the Corsair was described by [[Auntie (The Doctor's Wife)|Auntie]], a composite [[humanoid]] servant of [[House (The Doctor's Wife)|House]], as "a strapping big bloke". She was a good authority on the matter; after all, she had the Corsair's left [[arm]] stitched onto her torso in place of her own, while the other composite humanoid slave, "[[Uncle (The Doctor's Wife)|Uncle]]", received "the [[spine]] and the [[kidney]]s". The Corsair went the way of House's numerous other Time Lord victims who had fallen into House's [[bubble universe]] and was marooned when [[The Corsair's TARDIS|his TARDIS]] was drained of energy. The Corsair had only just enough time to get a message together before he was finally killed.
 
The Eleventh Doctor discovered the Corsair's fate after being contacted by a [[hypercube]] with their peculiar Ouroboros symbol and following its [[psychic]]ally encoded distress message to House. He eventually discovered the Corsair's remains in Auntie and Uncle; this and the stockpile of hypercubes House used as bait cemented his fury in confronting and defeating House with [[Idris]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Wife (TV story)|The Doctor's Wife]]'')
