The '''Third Doctor,''' who was [[Exile on Earth|exiled by the Time Lords]] to [[Earth]] in the [[20th century]] for a significant period of his life, was a distinguished man of high class and gadgetry, often tinkering away and privy with machines. He also liked to share his wisdom with those who had open minds, but his patience would quickly dissolve if something annoyed him. Those who got on his good side soon found him to be a friendly fellow, while those who were against him soon found that this gentleman could actually get physical and hold his own in a fight. | The '''Third Doctor,''' who was [[Exile on Earth|exiled by the Time Lords]] to [[Earth]] in the [[20th century]] for a significant period of his life, was a distinguished man of high class and gadgetry, often tinkering away and privy with machines.

The technological limits of the time period, and the constraints of his exile, often made this incarnation of '''[[the Doctor]]''' frustrated and bitter. However, he retained his endearing compassion toward his [[human]] [[companion]]s, and he finally began to gain some mastery over [[The Doctor's TARDIS|his TARDIS]] as he dissected its inner workings while it was rendered inoperable, as the approximately three years of time he spent in exile gave him the opportunity to learn more about his ship than he had ever known before, since he was no longer constantly on the move from his people. At the same time, he continued trying to regain his freedom. | The technological limits of the time period, and the constraints of his exile, often made this [[incarnation]] of '''[[the Doctor]]''' frustrated and bitter.

This | This Doctor worked for [[UNIT]] as their scientific advisor, and indeed, he even remained in their service after his exile was ended. Unlike his earlier incarnations, he was quite willing to engage others physically, and cut a more dashing figure. | ||
His foremost enemy was a fellow [[Time Lord]], {{Delgado}}. Although appalled by the disregard for life inherent in the Master's schemes, the Doctor treated their relationship as somewhat of a friendly rivalry, even enjoying their battle of wits. The Master reflected an equally casual attitude back at him. The Doctor also held out hope that he could rehabilitate the Master, whom he had once considered a friend. Though the Master sometimes teamed up with the Doctor to deal with foes who threatened them, he always bent to dark and malicious desires, which kept their mutual antagonism alive. Indeed, when they did work together, they showed a mutual respect of each other's abilities. More than once, the Master did offer to share his power, but the Doctor always refused. | His foremost enemy was a fellow [[Time Lord]], {{Delgado}}.
