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.

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. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Emporium | The Doctor worked with the Master during the conflict.

After the War had ended, believed to be simply due to the combatants running out of weapons and galaxies, the universe itself was dying. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Library in the Body (audio story)|The Library in the Body]]'') However, the Doctor made a deal to buy it a few more centuries, sacrificing some of his memories in the process.

([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Emporium at the End (audio story)|The Emporium at the End]]'') The Doctor became ruler of the universe due to the rest of his people being dead, leaving him the only one left in the line of succession, much to the anger and displeasure of many races and people, many of whom didn't trust him. Whenever he met any of these individuals, they would mock or deride him for his actions during the Great War. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Library in the Body (audio story)|The Library in the Body]]'') | ||

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 (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.

The Doctor was known for appearing a coward, though he insisted he was simply cautious.
