Visiting the [[Garden of Fond Memories]] on [[Necros]], the [[Sixth Doctor]] was shocked to find a [[statue]] made in his [[likeness]], which he took as evidence that he would die without regenerating. He noted to [[Peri Brown]] that, being a [[time travel]]ler, it was possible for them both to travel to a point after they had died. Peri, however, believed that the statue was a "[[joke]]" and a "[[gag]]", that someone was "having [him] on". To their shock, the statue fell on top of the Doctor, apparently crushing him, only for the Doctor to push aside the statue, finding that it was not genuine [[stone]] rather "an elaborate theatrical effect." The Doctor later determined that [[Davros]], who had masqueraded as the [[Great Healer]] of [[Necros]], was responsible for the statue; he complimented Davros on its "very good likeness" but added that "[he] really shouldn't have bothered."

[[The Valeyard]] was introduced to the Sixth Doctor by {{Ainley}} as "an amalgamation of the darker sides of [his] nature, somewhere between [his] twelfth and final incarnation." ([[TV]]: ''[[The Ultimate Foe (TV story)|The Ultimate Foe]]'') In a story related by the Valeyard, the thirteenth and final incarnation of the Doctor supposedly composed a [[The Doctor's Black Scrolls|set of scrolls]] which detailed his work to bypass the limit of twelve regenerations and that the Valeyard himself was created as a [[Time Tot]] on a mud planet orbiting [[Etarho]] as a result of the Doctor's experiments. The Valeyard's claim, however, was doubted by the Sixth Doctor. Indeed, the Doctor found what appeared to be his final incarnation on Etarho to have been the Valeyard masquerading as him.

When the [[Thirteenth Doctor]] visited [[Daughter of Mine]] to free her from the [[mirror]] in which she was imprisoned, Daughter of Mine mentioned a [[The Doctor (Battlefield)|redheaded Doctor]] who "thought he was the last", which the present Doctor did not recognise.
