He though of himself as being "elegant and charming", with humans not to be "worthy" of hosting his mind, and hated being called [[insane]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[I Am The Master (audio story)|I Am The Master]]'') However, the "Decaying" Master was very open with his satisfaction in killing innocents, even claiming that mere petty vengeance was enough motivation to do so, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Mastermind (audio story)|Mastermind]]'') as well as his own amusement. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[I Am The Master (audio story)|I Am The Master]]'') He was also petty, turning Earth into a religious dictatorship to spite the Doctor, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Glorious Dead]]'') and killing [[Violet (Prologue to The Centenarian)|Violet]] solely because she foiled his attempt to kill [[Edward Grainger]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Mastermind (audio story)|Mastermind]]'') | |||
When angered, the Master would use "real power" to "smash everything up" for "fun", as he deemed scarring people for amusement as being "for children". However, her found it a comforting thought how "[[evil]] always originates in the attempt to eliminate evil in others", and found the concept of [[morality]] to be pure hypocrisy due to how people always viewed themselves as the "goodies". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[I Am The Master (audio story)|I Am The Master]]'') | |||
He was more respectful to the [[Web of Time]] than his other incarnations, being particularly careful to avoid [[paradox]]es. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Masterful (audio story)|Masterful]]'') He would live for the moment, as found that [[time travel]] removed the interest from the present, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[I Am The Master (audio story)|I Am The Master]]'') and preferred to "pick [him]self up and move on" when he failed. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Masterful (audio story)|Masterful]]'') | |||
During the period of his life when he was forced to possess various human bodies to survive, the Master would take on minor personality traits and quirks from the bodies he possessed, and, as a result, he started to fear that his "essence" would eventually become too diluted if he were to jump to another body too frequently, and began to go to great pains to make sure his bodies lasted as long as possible by only possessing members of the same bloodline. However, as he would later admit to [[Charlie Sato]], the Master began to somewhat enjoy the experience of being human as the years went by, and even toyed with the idea of dropping his plans of restoring his Time Lord body and just remain in a human body. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Mastermind (audio story)|Mastermind]]'') Whilst a [[perception filter]] disguised his decayed appearance, the Master became genuinely happy in the company of [[Kitty (Masterful)|Kitty]], and was distressed when she rejected him upon seeing his true form, acting solemn afterwards. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Masterful (audio story)|Masterful]]'') | |||
As his body began to shut down, the Master gained a sense of calm, due to the constant pain he felt in his decaying body being reduced by his body parts shutting down as he died. As he was being consumed by the [[Ravenous]], the Master commanded the [[Eighth Doctor]] to save himself and ensure his death was avenged as he threw the Doctor his [[TARDIS key]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Planet of Dust (audio story)|Planet of Dust]]'') | |||

The Decaying Master was effectively cunning, using his link to the TARDIS to send the Doctor to specific locations to later show him the folly of his worth, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Glorious Dead]]'') and acquiring a casino in [[Las Vegas]] to accumulate the money needed to fund the experiments to elongate the lifespan of his host bodies, while also becoming head of the [[Hudson Dusters]], and controlling part of the [[mafia]].

A patient incarnation, the Decaying Master simultaneously juggled a grand plan to achieve divine power with a pettier plan to morally humiliate the Doctor during the fight for [[the Glory]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Glorious Dead]]'') and also, while trying to remain undetected in the history books, possessed a line of men from the Maestro family to ensure he had a succession of bodies that he could adjust well to, passing from father to son once there was a grandson alive to inhabit later on.
