M is for...
The Master
A Time Lord, who knew the Doctor well when they were children - in fact, there are rumours that they may have been brothers. At the age of eight, he was exposed to the Untempered Schism, which drove him mad, but he was a brilliant student at the Academy, and had almost irresistible hypnotic powers. Like the Doctor, he fled from Gallifrey, but in order to gain power over the universe, rather than to see it.
During the 1970s, the Master made repeated attempts to destroy the Doctor and subjugate the Earth (and sometimes the Universe) but always failed. Having used up all his regenerations, he attempted to restore himself and destroy Gallifrey in the process, but finally gained a new body by taking over a man called Tremas on the planet Traken.
Resuming his campaign to destroy the Doctor and conquer the universe, he was finally exterminated by the Daleks, but his essence survived and found a new host, but was pulled into the Eye of Harmony of the Doctor's TARDIS.
When the Time War broke out, the Time Lords resurrected the Master, recognising both his genius and aggression, but he fled the war and, using a chameleon ark, disguised himself as the human Yana, who worked for the good of everyone. He recovered his own identity, but was shot and regenerated.
Returning to present-day Earth, he adopted the alias of Harold Saxon and became prime minister of the UK as part of his scheme to destroy Earth and conquer the universe. When this was thwarted by the Doctor, he was shot by his human wife Lucy and refused to regenerate, but was later restored to life by his followers. He temporarily turned the entire human race into copies of himself, but when the Time Lords threatened to put an end to time itself, he helped the Doctor to destroy the threat and was pulled back to the time-locked war.
It seems impossible that the Master will ever return from this... or is it?
