Originally young and robust, the [[incarnation]] of | Originally young and robust, the [[the Doctor's ninth incarnation|ninth known incarnation]] of [[the Doctor]], christened the '''War Doctor''' by [[Alice Obiefune]] and [[the Curator]], set upon the warrior path in the [[Last Great Time War]] for which he had been intended. Though the [[Time Lord]]s and [[Dalek]]s continued to refer to him as such, he disavowed [[The Doctor (title)|the name of "the Doctor"]], believing he had broken the promise it represented, instead opting not to have a name at all, though he was also referred to as "the Renegade", "the Warrior", the "Doctor of War", and "the Butcher of [[Skull Moon]]". | ||
After emerging from [[Eighth Doctor|his previous incarnation]]'s decision to regenerate into a warrior with the [[Elixir of Life]] after he failed to save [[Cass Fermazzi]] on [[Karn]], the Doctor set about joining the Time War as an independent agent, due to his disagreement on how the Time Lords were handling the conflict, believing he could end the Time War by himself, until the losses of [[Fey Truscott-Sade]] and [[Davros]] awoke him to the severity of the conflict. When he decided to fight alongside the Time Lords, he quickly became regarded as a [[war hero]] who commanded a great deal of respect from the Time Lord [[military]]. [[Gastron]] stated that, during the Time War, the "Doctor of War" was known for going into battle unarmed, but winning nonetheless, with his unarmed state being the last thing his enemies saw before their deaths. | |||
As early as his beginnings, the Doctor had decided not to allow himself [[companion]]s to ensure he was not responsible for the safety of another, but did find recurring comrades-in-arms in the [[Eleventh General]], Commander [[Veklin]] and the [[berserker-class cyborg]] [[Case (Consequences)|Case]] as he fought the monsters forged in the fires of the battlegrounds, and also found himself pestered by the political machinations of the [[Sixth Tamasan]] and the [[War Ollistra]]. As he faced threats from [[the Barber-Surgeon]] and the [[Volatix Cabal]], the Doctor was forced to ally himself with {{Titan}} until he found a way to escape the Time War. | |||
Following a brief respite on [[Keska]], the Doctor found himself drawn more into Cardinal Ollistra's unscrupulous machinations, such as trying to weaponise the [[Neverwhen]], and then rescuing her from the [[Sontaran]]s while also fending off the masterplan of the [[Dalek Time Strategist (The Shadow Vortex)|Dalek Time Strategist]] to utilise [[the Enigma]] and remove the Time Lord from history with [[temporal dissolution]]. Even when reunited with [[Leela]], the Doctor became so disillusioned with the war that he concluded it could only end when both the Time Lords and the Daleks were destroyed. He was ultimately driven to end the war absolutely when a mission against the [[Eternity Circle]] in the [[Tantalus Eye]] resulted in the deaths of his companion, [[Cinder]], and his mentor, [[Borusa]], by the hands of the Time Lords. | |||
When faced with {{Dalton}}'s [[Ultimate Sanction]], the Doctor prepared to use [[the Moment]] to end the Time War by committing [[genocide]] against both the Daleks and the Time Lords. However, the Moment's sentient interface led him down a different path by letting him view his future first-hand. By teaming up with his future incarnations, the Doctor's mind was opened to a peaceful way to end the Time War in lieu of the deadly alternative he was going to enact. Teaming up with past and future incarnations, the War Doctor helped to save Gallifrey from the [[Dalek Fleet]] by placing it in [[Gallifrey's pocket universe|a pocket dimension]]. After departing from his future incarnations' company, and once again embracing the name of "the Doctor", the War Doctor regenerated into [[Ninth Doctor|a younger body]] due to his advanced age. Unfortunately, due to his timeline being taken out of sync by the presence of his future incarnations, the Doctor would not remember saving [[Gallifrey]], and his next incarnations were lead to believe they had destroyed Gallifrey instead of saving it until they experienced the events as the [[Eleventh Doctor]], with the memory of the War Doctor being vilified and banished in the interim until he was vindicated. | |||
