<!--For the introduction brief, avoid using story links, as this paragraph is a reflection of how the Doctor lived their life, and thus covers a wider range than goes beyond a single story entry.-->

Unique amongst his incarnations, the Twelfth Doctor would not travel full time with the large majority of his companions, with some like [[Clara Oswald]] and [[Bill Potts]] taking breaks from the TARDIS between travels, some like [[Hattie Munroe]] taking the occasional trip, and some like [[Jata]] being involved in various side quests during a longer trip. He was also known to go long periods of time in one location, such as the town of [[Краснодар]], his [[confession dial]], 1970s [[Brixton]], [[Darillium]] and [[St Luke's University]].

== Biography ==

=== A day to come ===

<!--This section if for the hints and teases the Doctor finds out about his future regenerations. Unlike other examples, instances where the Eleventh Doctor talks about regenerating do not count here, as the Eleventh Doctor was bluffing on those occasions. Multi-Doctor events do not belong in this section, as such events are removed from the younger Doctor's memory and he forgets the encounter, though trace memories may count.-->

After sealing [[Gallifrey]] away in a [[pocket dimension]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') the [[Seventh Doctor]] was able to recall teaming up with his other twelve incarnations to save Gallifrey. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Cold Fusion (audio story)|Cold Fusion]]'')

Seeing an ad in a newspaper placed by {{Gomez}}, ([[TV]]: ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'') which seemed to be a message from Clara, the Doctor infiltrated a suspicious restaurant, where he and Clara learned that time travelling [[Clockwork Droid]]s, under the leadership of the [[Half-Face Man]], had been harvesting [[human]]s to repair themselves and reach the [[Promised Land]]. Trying to speak on peaceful terms, the Doctor snapped the Control Node out of his illusion of the Promised Land by revealing the true state of his existence. Conflicted and unsure, the Half-Face Man fell out of his [[escape pod]], either jumping or having been pushed by the Doctor.

Returning for Clara, the Doctor spoke of the suspicious way Clara had met him in his previous incarnation, only for Clara to likewise voice her uncertainty of the Doctor's identity and asked to be returned home. Attempting to return Clara home, the Doctor ended up in [[Glasgow]] by mistake. However, Clara decided to go out for coffee with the Doctor after the Eleventh Doctor called her and encouraged her to help the Doctor through his regeneration. ([[TV]]: ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'')

=== New adventures with Clara ===

After he was forced to disguise himself as a [[nun]] to escape the [[Church of Vindication's Inquisitors]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Swords of Kali (comic story)|The Swords of Kali]]'') the Doctor became alerted to a creature that disguised itself as a motorway to consume planets into other dimensions. Summoning Clara to assist him, the Doctor was surprised when the creature disappeared, unaware that Clara had tricked the creature into consuming itself. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Road Rage (Twelfth Doctor comic story)|Road Rage]]'')

=== Resumed travels with Clara ===

Picking up a signal, the TARDIS arrived on the [[Quartz Wastes]] of [[Asmoray]]. Although the Doctor believed it was an uninhabited wasteland, Clara pointed out there was a harvester nearby extracting [[electricity]] from the quartz. The Doctor and Clara were brought aboard the harvester by two workers, where beings within the electricity had broken through and killed four workers. Their leader, [[Luther (The Body Electric)|Luther]], was insistent on continuing their work regardless. Investigating, the Doctor and Clara found the creatures were only attacking because they were being sucked into the harvester's storage batteries. With Clara's help, the Doctor was able to free the electricity beings back into the quartz. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Body Electric (comic story)|The Body Electric]]'')

After discovering that Clara had lied to him about Danny's approval, the Doctor realised that a mural dedicated to local missing people was the missing people, killed and worn by the creatures as camouflage. With Clara leading a gang of surviving community servers, the Doctor theorised that the creatures were trying to communicate, and that the deaths were but a mere misunderstanding. When the theory was proved wrong, the Doctor invented a device that could reverse the creatures' flattening abilities, which he called a [[2Dis]], as Clara and her gang retreated to an underground tunnel.

The Doctor landed on the ''[[Pollyanna]]'', the first of the [[Ninth Era]] [[sunship]]s, which had been on an expedition to circumnavigate [[Sol|the Sun]]. Seeing one of the [[Umbra (The Eye of Torment)|Umbra]] come out of the Sun and enter a [[plasma intake]], the Doctor rushed to the [[plasma lab]] and carried the injured [[Professor]] [[Alice Dubrovnik]] to safety. The Umbra, who had been trapped in the [[chromosphere]] for millions of years, began swarming the ''Pollyanna'', anchoring the ship to the Sun to try and hijack it and use it as a way of reaching Earth. As the Umbra on board took on more humans as vehicles, the Doctor was ejected out of a plasma intake to attract the Umbra to his regret. He set up the final link to Alice's [[graviton inverter]] on the hull of the ship, allowing Alice to briefly boost the inverter and create a secondary [[gravity]] envelope, which inverted the gravity and the heat, freezing the Umbra on the ship to death. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Eye of Torment (comic story)|The Eye of Torment]]'')

=== Second chance with Clara ===

[[File:Clara Birthday Comic Back Up Story.jpg|thumb|The Doctor reveals the alien duplicates of Clara. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Partying of the Ways (comic story)|The Partying of the Ways]]'')]]

The Doctor, Clara and Sam bypassed the Sussex firewall with the TARDIS and found that captured humans were being enslaved by the Hyperions to build a fusion web. Clara tried to intervene, but in doing so caused Hyperion "angels" to appear. Fleeing back to the TARDIS, an angel got on board, but Sam knocked her out by spraying her with a fire extinguisher. Deducing that the angel had been transmogrified by the Hyperions, the Doctor bio-linked her to the TARDIS telepathic circuits to restore her human consciousness. The TARDIS materialised by the sun, where the Hyperions were building the fusion web to consume its energy. Although the Doctor believed they were out of range, the web was already powerful enough to attack the TARDIS.

Arriving on the ''[[SS Berry Gordy]]'' in the [[53rd century]], the Doctor and Clara saved pop-star [[India Summer]] from being kidnaped by a band of [[Skink]]s hired by her manager, [[Gavor Vek-Haart]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Hyperballad (comic story)|Hyperballad]]'')

=== Final adventures with Clara ===

The Doctor and Clara arrived in [[Highgate Cemetery]] in [[1972]], where, intruding upon a cult meeting, they were attacked by vampire-like creatures called the [[Corvid]]s, which petrified the TARDIS and fed on people's psychic essence, but were trapped inside the cemetery. The Doctor discovered that Clara's exposure to his time stream had rendered her toxic to the Corvids' powers, and that exposing themselves to her left a psychic corridor open. Using the psychic signature of the dead amplified by the ley line the cemetery was built on, the Doctor banished the Corvids back to the Time Vortex with the aid of [[Jess Collins]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Highgate Horror (comic story)|The Highgate Horror]]'')

The Doctor and Clara landed on the space station ''[[Le Verrier]]'' in the [[38th century]], and joined a rescue crew that were looking for the station's crew. Attacked by [[Sandman (Sleep No More)|Sandmen]], the group ran into a laboratory housing [[Morpheus pod]]s and, after rescuing Clara from one, found Professor [[Gagan Rassmussen]] hiding in a pod. After questioning Rassmussen on his pods, the Doctor concluded that the Sandmen were made up of [[sleep dust]], and a direct result from use of the pods. As they made their way to destroy the pods, the station's [[gravity shield]]s failed, Rassmussen was killed by a Sandman, and the Doctor, Clara and Chief [[Jagganth Daiki-Nagata|Nagata]] became separated from the group after the Doctor rebooted the gravity shield. Re-evaluating the situation, the Doctor hacked into what he believed to be the rescue crew's helmet cams to review the footage, only for Nagata to reveal that none of them were wearing cameras. The Doctor then realised that the sleep dust in the air was being used as cameras to store images of the rescue mission, and that Rassmussen was behind the entire thing. Going to the crew's rescue ship, the Doctor, Clara and Nagata found Rassmussen had plans to spread the Sandmen to other planets. Surviving Rassmussen's attempt to kill them with his [[Patient Zero (Sleep No More)|Patient Zero]], Nagata killed Rassmussen, and the trio fled the station in the TARDIS, intending to destroy all Morpheus machines to prevent any more Sandman conversions. The Doctor, however, was confounded by the loose ends and how choreographed the event had been. ([[TV]]: ''[[Sleep No More (TV story)|Sleep No More]]'')

While Clara attended an end-of-term Christmas party, the Doctor met a young [[Clive Finch]] on [[24 December|Christmas Eve]] [[1979]], and took him to see the [[Loch Ness Monster]], during which the Doctor encountered [[the Monk]] and thwarted his latest scheme. The Doctor partially wiped Clive's memory of the event, but left just enough of a recollection that would kick-start the boy's life of trying to find the Doctor again. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Persistence of Memory (short story)|The Persistence of Memory]]'')

[[File:Twelve Clara diner.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor tells his story to Clara in the diner. ([[TV]]: ''[[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]]'')]]

=== Moving on ===

While thinking of Clara as a "friend [he'd] lost", the Doctor also reminded himself of what it meant to be a good man. ([[POEM]]: ''[[A Good Man (poem)|A Good Man]]'')

=== Travelling alone ===

The Doctor visited [[Shivani Bajwa]] at her flower garden at [[Coal Hill School]], and learnt that {{Gomez}} had secretly assisted him when his [[first incarnation]] fought off the [[Space Wolf|Space wolves]] with Shivani in [[1963]]. When he saw Missy across the street from him, the Doctor bade his farewells to Shivani has he ran after her. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Horror of Coal Hill (short story)|Doctor Who and the Horror of Coal Hill]]'')

Wanting to visit a music performance in [[1972]] [[London]], the Doctor was playing his [[guitar]] on the streets when he was sighted by [[Jess Collins]], who followed him to the TARDIS, despite his attempts to avoid her. When the TARDIS picked up an alien distress signal in the [[London Underground]], where Jess' father, [[Lloyd Collins|Lloyd]], worked, Jess followed him to investigate the signal. In the tunnels, they were caught by Lloyd and then attacked by a skeletal [[Hakuai|bird creature]], but the Doctor disabled the creature with [[electricity]] from the Underground, noting it was an animated cadaver. Lloyd, injured by the creature, was taken to hospital, where the Doctor scanned him and realised he had an unidentifiable bacterial infection. Returning to the Underground with Jess, the Doctor found a telepathic node on the creature's body, which explained that the creature was an alien called [[Moan'na]], who had fled his kind and disguised himself as a human in [[17th century]] London. The Doctor determined that Moan'na had died of the [[bubonic plague]] as a human in [[1665]], but his alien body had enhanced the illness and caused Lloyd to fall under it.

The Doctor took Jess and Maxwell to the [[National Gallery]] to show them a [[John Constable]] painting, when an alien creature was released by hunters from [[Kolothos]], where hunting was outlawed, who sent [[Hound (Bloodsport)|hounds]] to chase it into the gallery. The Doctor, Jess and Maxwell followed the creature outside into [[Trafalgar Square]], and witnessed the hunter [[Skadi]] murder a policeman. The Doctor used a dog whistle to incapacitate the hounds, and when Skadi's husband, [[Broteas]], killed another policeman, the Doctor knocked him out by pulling his electric whip into a fountain. Skadi murdered the small creature she was hunting, and she and her son, [[Tarquel]], took Jess and Maxwell aboard their spaceship.

=== A return to travelling ===

The Doctor visited the planet [[Lahn]] to travel the Spice Route of Shalabar Stone. However, his party was ambushed by alien scavengers led by the Lord [[Boabdil]], who kidnapped the Doctor's fellow traveller, [[Estrella]], sentencing her to be executed the following day by a monster. The Doctor gatecrashed the execution and disorientated the monster, freeing Estrella. Chased into the city, Estrella bought a flying carpet, allowing her and the Doctor to escape their pursuers. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Spice Route (comic story)|The Spice Route]]'')

=== Returning Jata home ===

During the trip to Osumare, Jata mentioned he was interested in educational systems, which prompted the Doctor to show him an [[England|English]] school in the [[21st century]]. Much to the Doctor's surprise, the school they landed in was filled with students put into a violent trance by their [[ear bud]]s. The Doctor and Jata hid in the school's chapel with three teachers and [[Ralph (Fear Buds)|a student]]. The Doctor knew about a secret room in the chapel and guided the student, Jata, and [[Swain|one of the teachers]] to it when the mind-controlled students broke through the chapel's doors. In the hidden room, the Doctor realised that the student was a [[Mkali]]. He confronted the Mkali and asked him to reverse what he had done to the other students. When that didn't work, the Doctor called the Mkali's mother, who became very angry at her son and fixed everything he did. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Fear Buds (comic story)|Fear Buds]]'')

=== Temporary companions ===

After seeing an [[opera]] in [[1695]] [[Paris]], the Doctor was confronted by [[Julie d'Aubigny]] after the show when he refused to take part in the standing ovation, with the Doctor escalating the situation by insulting her singing and having Julie challenge him to a sword duel. The duel was interrupted by [[Lord Cardinal|Cardinal]] [[Richelieu]], who wanted to question the Doctor, but was stabbed by Julie and exposed as being possessed by dark forces. The Doctor fled to the TARDIS and took Julie with him, knowing that there were mysterious forces at work. The Doctor and Julie went to the Bibliotheque Mazarine library to find information on the forces, with the Doctor using his psychic paper to get the library's curator, Bishop Mazarin, to tell him that Richelieu had created an intelligence network called the Cabinet Noir to intercept the mail of Paris and instructed Mazarin to build a secret library to store confiscated mail, and that Richelieu had experimented with magic and opened a realm of beings, which granted him the ability to not age. Mazarin gave the Doctor the keys to the secret library and told him that Richelieu was plotting to create another portal to plunge the entire world into darkness, but he was suddenly killed by gargoyles before he could say anymore. The gargoyles attacked the Doctor, but Julie managed to destroy the head of one, revealing them to be robots, as the Doctor looked at a chart in the secret library and found an astrological prediction that predicted an eclipse, which the darkness planned to use for their invasion.

=== Solo adventures ===

The Doctor chased Missy across Earth in different times and places as she stole numerous valuables, from the [[British Crown Jewels]] to [[diamond]] rings. The Doctor retraced his steps and discovered Missy had left [[Cybermat]]s as she went. Missy was disappointed that the Doctor had foiled her plan despite not even knowing what the plan was. The Doctor then went off in his TARDIS to have lunch, not even bothering to let Missy explain her plan to him. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dr. Twelfth (novel)|Dr. Twelfth]]'')

==== Adventures from St Luke's University ====

In [[1996]], the Doctor was contacted by [[James Stevens]], who convinced him to alter the coordinates of a [[Time Ring]] he had acquired from {{Delgado}}, so that Stevens could travel to [[11 August]] [[1971]] and prevent [[Francis Cleary]] from killing [[Dodo Chaplet]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Who Killed Kennedy (novel)|Who Killed Kennedy epilogue]]'')

=== Early adventures with Bill ===

After Bill asked him to help her move into a student house, the Doctor grew suspicious of the fact that an old, large house was being rented to Bill and five other students for so little. Investigating, the Doctor found that the house was eating the students, eventually leaving only him and Bill. They discovered that [[John (Knock Knock)|the Landlord]] was using [[Dryad|strange insects]] to keep his mother alive in a wooden form by feeding people to them every twenty years. Convincing the mother that her son was wrong to keep her alive this way, the Doctor was able to free the house's recent victims, while the Landlord and his mother were consumed by the insects and the house collapsed. ([[TV]]: ''[[Knock Knock (TV story)|Knock Knock]]'')

=== Threats from the Dreamspace ===

The Doctor took Bill to [[Plex]]'s [[Planet (The Promise)|adopted home planet]] to see the first generation born independently, only to find them to be hostile. With the [[Chameleon Arch]] [[biodata module]] having broken since he last used it, the Doctor instead brought the planet to peace by telling the clones a glamourised version of their history. As they flew away in the TARDIS, the Doctor told Bill about his history with Plex. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Promise (FCBD comic story)|The Promise]]'') The Doctor then took Bill to see the [[coronation]] of Queen [[Elizabeth II]] in [[1953]]. When he asked her what she thought, Bill stated that she preferred [[Victoria]]'s coronation. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Where's the Doctor? (comic story)|Where's the Doctor?]]'')

=== Final adventures ===

The Doctor was tricked by [[Ziggy (Bill and the Three Jackets)|Ziggy]] when she swapped bodies with Bill, but her plan was foiled by Bill and [[Lou (Bill and the Three Jackets)|Lou]], who were able to reverse the body swap. Ziggy then explained that she had wanted them return her to her home planet, [[Onhwhie]], as she had been exiled for speaking up against the unjust government. After some persuading from Bill and Lou, the Doctor agreed to return Ziggy to Onhwhie. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Bill and the Three Jackets (short story)|Bill and the Three Jackets]]'')

[[File:Twelfth Doctor in Black Archive The Zygon Inversion.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor defends peace in the [[Black Archive]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Zygon Inversion (TV story)|The Zygon Inversion]]'')]]

The Twelfth Doctor's hair was a silvery shade of grey, kept short and combed down, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]'', ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'') though occasionally styled into a coif. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Caretaker (TV story)|The Caretaker]]'') However, he later let his hair grow out, and become curlier, ([[TV]]: ''[[Last Christmas (TV story)|Last Christmas]]'', ''[[The Doctor's Meditation (TV story)|The Doctor's Meditation]]'', ''[[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]]'', ''[[For Tonight We Might Die (TV story)|For Tonight We Might Die]]'') but had it cut down by the time he met River on [[Mendorax Dellora]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Husbands of River Song (TV story)|The Husbands of River Song]]'') After he left Darillium, ([[TV]]: ''[[Extremis (TV story)|Extremis]]'') his hair had grown back to its old length. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Return of Doctor Mysterio (TV story)|The Return of Doctor Mysterio]]'', ''[[The Pilot (TV story)|The Pilot]]'') When his body began to [[Regeneration|regenerate]], his [[regeneration energy]] caused his hair length to grow out immensely.
