[[The Valeyard]] was introduced to the Sixth Doctor by {{Ainley}} as "an amalgamation of the darker sides of [his] nature, somewhere between [his] twelfth and final incarnation." ([[TV]]: ''[[The Ultimate Foe (TV story)|The Ultimate Foe]]'') In a story related by the Valeyard, the thirteenth and final incarnation of the Doctor supposedly composed a [[The Doctor's Black Scrolls|set of scrolls]] which detailed his work to bypass the limit of twelve regenerations and that the Valeyard himself was created as a [[Time Tot]] on a mud planet orbiting [[Etarho]] as a result of the Doctor's experiments.

Following [[War Doctor|their forgotten ninth incarnation]] and an incident which saw the [[Tenth Doctor]] regenerate but keep the same [[face]], the [[incarnation]] who identified as the [[Eleventh Doctor]] emerged as the product of the Doctor's twelfth regeneration, the last of their original [[life cycle]], and so believed himself to be "the last Doctor" until the Time Lords enabled him to regenerate again.
