As recorded by [[Vivien Rook]], Harold Saxon made his first true appearance just after the [[downfall]] of [[British Prime Minister]] [[Harriet Jones]], which was brought about the [[Tenth Doctor]] on [[25 December]] [[2006]]. ([[TV]]: | As recorded by [[Vivien Rook]], Harold Saxon made his first true appearance just after the [[downfall]] of [[British Prime Minister]] [[Harriet Jones]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sound of Drums (TV story)|The Sound of Drums]]'') which was brought about the [[Tenth Doctor]] on [[25 December]] [[2006]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Christmas Invasion (TV story)|The Christmas Invasion]]'') At the same time, the [[Archangel Network]] of fifteen [[satellite]]s was launched by Saxon, already a [[minister]] in the [[British government]]. Ostensibly a [[mobile phone]] network, Archangel was used by the Master to influence the [[human]] [[population]] of Earth, first to believe the story of "Harold Saxon", then to "[[Vote Saxon]]", as well as preventing [[the Doctor]] from sensing him as another [[Time Lord]] on Earth. However, the Master later conceded that only "99" or "98" [[percent]] of [[people]] were successfully influenced. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sound of Drums (TV story)|The Sound of Drums]]'', ''[[The Christmas Invasion (TV story)|The Christmas Invasion]]'') Among those who were affected was [[Martha Jones]], who had intended to [[vote]] for Saxon despite being ignorant of his [[policy|policies]] and what he stood for.

Harold [[marriage|married]] a woman named [[Lucy Saxon]] who, as Rook observed, came from a "not especially bright but essentially harmless" [[family]]. As Lucy recalled, Harold was "so very good" to [[Lucy Saxon's father|her father]]. In reality, Lucy ultimately understood who Harold really was, and chose to become his [[companion]] and [[wife]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sound of Drums (TV story)|The Sound of Drums]]'') Using [[the Doctor's TARDIS]], the two visited the [[end of the universe]] and gained the [[allegiance]] of the [[Toclafane]], the [[cyborg]] descendants of [[human]]ity.

While on Earth, he formed the [[Disciples of Saxon]], a group of humans who worshipped Harold Saxon, while realising that his true name was the Master. Composing the [[Secret Books of Saxon]], he prepared [[Potion of Life|Potions of Life]] that would be used to [[resurrect]] him in the event of his death.

On [[27 March]] [[2007]], Saxon sparred with [[Jeremy Paxman|Paxman]] on ''[[Newsnight]]'', which Martha Jones watched. She believed Saxon was responsible for shooting down the [[Sycorax ship]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Martha Jones' MySpace blog (short story)|Martha Jones' MySpace blog]]'') which in reality had been Harriet Jones' decision.

After [[March]] 2007, Saxon was reported by ''[[The Daily Telegraph]]'' [[newspaper]] as leading polls with 64[[%]] during a state of "[[government paralysis]]". ([[TV]]: ''[[Love & Monsters (TV story)|Love & Monsters]]'') In light of the downfall of Harriet Jones, an [[election]] was called to decide the next Prime Minister. Harold Saxon put forward his bid for Prime Minister, beginning the "[[Vote Saxon]]" campaign, with posters appearing from [[London]] to [[Cardiff]] ([[TV]]: ''[[Smith and Jones (TV story)|Smith and Jones]]'', ''[[Captain Jack Harkness (TV story)|Captain Jack Harkness]]'') while [[website]]s were established to cover Harold Saxon. Among the people who backed Saxon were [[Ann Widdecombe]], [[Sharon Osbourne]] and the [[band]] [[McFly]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sound of Drums (TV story)|The Sound of Drums]]'') | |||
In the meantime, Saxon served as [[Minister of Defence]]. While a member of the [[Ministry of Defence]], the Master helped design "every detail" of the [[UNIT]] [[aircraft carrier]] ''[[Valiant (aircraft carrier)|Valiant]]'', which he would describe as "some of [his] best work".
