{{Roberts|n=The Bruce Master}} claimed to [[Chang Lee]] that the Doctor had taken most of his [[regeneration]]s whilst the Doctor told [[Grace Holloway]] that the Master was both "on his last life" and had "[ran] out of all his lives". In their ensuing [[Regeneration Operation|confrontation]], the Master claimed that it was because of the Doctor that he had "wasted all [his] lives". The Doctor challenged this, reminding Lee that the Master claimed that he had stolen those lives when the reality was that the Master sought the Doctor's remaining lives after having "used all his lives", noting that the Master himself had just admitted to wasting "all of them".

''[[The Doctor Who Role Playing Game]]'' by [[FASA]], which admits to taking liberties with the source material in its opening pages, gives a rundown of the Master's first thirteen [[incarnation]]s in "[[The Master (reference book)|The Master]]" supplement book, which was similar to (but not entirely consistent with) the in-universe biography given for [[the Master]] in FASA's own ''[[CIA File Extracts (novel)|CIA File Extracts]]''. | |||
According to the book, the Master could control the form of his incarnations, and frequently used the same face. In a constant, [[beard]]ed [[aristocrat]] form, the Master worked as a [[researcher]] on [[Gallifrey]] until his fifth incarnation, aged [[The Master's age|over 700-years-old]], attempted to lead a [[rebellion]] on Gallifrey, with [[the War Chief]] among his followers, which ended in failure with the Master himself being gravely [[wound]]ed, forcing him to flee and regenerate. The now [[renegade Time Lord]] decided to completely abandon his familiar form with his sixth incarnation assuming a shorter, heavier and younger but still apparently middle-aged "average" appearance, wearing his [[brown]] [[hair]] short with [[bang]]s hanging straight across a high [[forehead]] above a broad [[face]], with only his piercing [[eye]]s remaining much as before. Adopting the hooded robes worn by [[religious]] orders during [[Earth]]'s [[11th century]], this incarnation became known as [[First Monk|the Monk]]. He regenerated after an accident with [[the Monk's TARDIS]] freed him from Earth, his new incarnation being identical to the last. When the Master's activities as the Monk became known, he chose a new [[disguise]] when a crisis triggered his next regeneration, assuming {{Delgado|n=a more familiar bearded appearance}} in his next six incarnations. | |||
