[[The Eleven]] was captured by the [[Seventh Doctor]] and imprisoned on [[Gallifrey]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Dark Universe (audio story)}}) However, he managed to escape, and so the Eighth Doctor was brought in to find him. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Eleven (audio story)}}) Along with [[Padrac]], [[Caleera]] and [[the Clocksmith]], the Eleven was a member of the [[Doom Coalition]], a secret organisation of Time Lords who sought to bring about the [[end of the universe]].

While running from the [[Ravenous]], the Eleven met his ninth incarnation, who was attempting to get revenge on the Doctor, and learnt that his regenerative dissonance made him immune to being consumed by the Ravenous. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Odds Against (audio story)}}) After entering an alliance with the Ravenous, the Eleven was foiled by the Doctor, Liv Chenka, Helen Sinclair and three different incarnations of [[the Master]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Planet of Dust (audio story)}}) On the [[Crucible of Souls]], he met his comeuppance and was killed by the three Masters while trying to form an alliance. Left for dead, the Eleven regenerated into [[the Twelve]], a female incarnation. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Day of the Master (audio story)}})

During the [[Last Great Time War]], the Twelve was able to stabilise her regenerative dissonance via a [[neural inhibitor]] implanted into her [[brain]] by the Time Lords. After reuniting with the Eighth Doctor, the Twelve travelled with him and [[Bliss (The Starship of Theseus)|Bliss]] to the [[The Planet|Ogron homeworld]] and infiltrated a Dalek base commanded by [[Overseer (Planet of the Ogrons)|the Overseer]], ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Planet of the Ogrons (audio story)}}) before the Daleks imprisoned her with the Doctor and Bliss on [[Sangrey]] for [[interrogation]], disabling her neural inhibitor in the process.

The Twelve then utilised a [[Dreadshade]] and attempted to blackmail the [[High Council]] into granting her a seat on the Council, but ultimately failed, and after causing the Dreadshade to panic and fire a [[Bolt of Frightening]], the Twelve was seemingly buried in a large amount of rubble.

Following [[Fall of Gallifrey|the end]] of the Time War, the [[Ninth Doctor]] believed all the [[Time Lord]]s bar himself to be dead, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Dalek (TV story)}}) and so told Liv that he did not expect to see the Time Lord once known as the Eleven again.
