The First Doctor was the first incarnation of the Time Lord who became known as the Doctor. He held himself of high regard, and was prone to criticise those who he felt were naive or primitive compared to his intellect. However, he possessed compassion, warmth, and wit that made up for his egocentric nature, serving to act as a mentor and guardian figure in his elderly years.
Beginning after he fled his homeworld of Gallifrey, his travels through time space were mostly random owing to faulty components in his TARDIS. Initially, he travelled with his granddaughter Susan Foreman, but, after spending five months on 1963 Earth, where Susan was a student at Coal Hill School, he was forced to abruptly depart from Earth with Susan's teachers Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright, kidnapping them from their own time. After much travel with Ian and Barbara, he bade Susan farewell to allow her to live with a man with whom she had fallen in love. Free from any familial responsibilities, and altogether more comfortable with humans after Barbara's influence, he then went through a series of new companions until accidentally happening on Ben Jackson and Polly Wright in 1960s London. They, and in particular Polly, would help him through the final adventure of his life: his first regeneration...
