When not clean-shaven, his appearance matched that of [[the Magistrate]] in an [[alternate timeline (The Infinity Doctors)|alternate timeline]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Gallifrey Chronicles (novel)|The Gallifrey Chronicles]]'', ''[[The Infinity Doctors (novel)|The Infinity Doctors]]'') and indeed one account suggested he also used the name of "Magistrate" while ruling history with the other three surviving elementals. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Story So Far... (short story)|The Story So Far...]]'') According to the ''[[Primer for the Spiral Politic]]'', some believed that the "Rosette-wearing man" was [[the War King]] after his mysterious disappearance from [[the Homeworld]], but most scholars instead held that the Man with the Rosette, while indeed the same individual as the War King, was a younger rather than older version of him.
