Lazarus' main desire was to obtain immortality. This was motivated by his traumatic experiences as a child during World War II, which left him with an intense case of thanatophobia. He was willing to go to any lengths to obtain his ultimate goal, having worked his whole life on his machine. Once he mutated, this trait of his character only worsened, as he was more than willing to succumb to his hunger and feed off innocent people, even those closest to him, just to prolong his own life.

He was willing to go to any lengths to obtain his ultimate goal, having worked his whole life on his machine. Once he mutated, this trait of his character only worsened, as he was more than willing to succumb to his hunger and feed off innocent people, even those closest to him, just to prolong his own life. When the Doctor told Lazarus about the burdens of a long lifespan such as a [[Time Lord]]'s and the horror of seeing everyone he cared about die around him, Lazarus simply brushed it off and called it "a price worth paying". | ||
Another prominent aspect of his personality was his womanising tendencies. Even when he was 76 years old, he flirted with Tish Jones, who originally viewed him as a repulsive man when he made such advances and made her disgust obvious. It should be noted that all members of his staff appeared to be young women in their twenties. Once he was rejuvenated, he became more openly flirtatious and was seen having his picture taken with numerous young women around him. He would resort to womanising on two occasions before his death, the first with Lady Thaw (where he utilised it in an argument they were having though he stopped kissing her because of her age) and Tish Jones (only minutes later, showing he had essentially discarded Lady Thaw after killing her). However, in his mutated form, Lazarus outright discarded any adoration for women (or, indeed, human beings), citing their slaughter to be a necessary sacrifice, even though their deaths achieved nothing but showing him to be so much of a monster. | Another prominent aspect of his personality was his womanising tendencies.
