The Master (eng.
The Master is a character in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who.
The Master comes from the planet Gallifrey and is the antagonist and former best friend of the Doctor, with whom they studied together at the Time Lords Academy.
The first actor to play the Master was Roger Delgado, who played this role from 1971 until his death in 1973.
After that, Peter Pratt and Jeffrey Beevers took over the role as a physically decomposed version of the Time Lord, until Anthony Ainley took over the role in 1981.
He remained the Master until the TV series was canceled in 1989.
In 1996, in the movie "Doctor Who", the Masters were played by Gordon Tipple (in one scene) and Eric Roberts.
In the revived TV series, the character's return was introduced by actor Derek Jacobi, before passing the baton to John Simm, who played the character in the 2007 episodes, as well as in the Christmas special episode "The End of Time".
In season 8, the Master is reborn in a female form, played by Michelle Gomez.

Creating[edit / edit wiki text]
The creators of the series came up with the Master as a returning villain, so that he would be for the Doctor what Professor Moriarty was for Sherlock Holmes.
This character first appeared in the series "Terror of the Autons" (1971).
The title of the Master was specially chosen by producer Barry Letts and script editor Terrence Dix as a memorable name for the supervillain.
But this title, like "Doctor", is also associated with an academic degree master (English master).
The story of a character in the series[edit / edit wiki text]
Early life[edit / edit wiki text]
In the series "Drum Roll", an eight year old Master is shown during the ceremony of joining the ranks of the Time Lords.
He appears before a split in space time called the Indomitable Gap, in which the entire Vortex can be seen.
The doctor claims that looking into the vortex of time inspires some, scares others away and drives others crazy.
He assumes that it was the latter that happened to the Master[2].
It was predicted to the president of the Time Lords that Gallifrey would fall.
The only way to get out of the Time Trap was to move to the Lord who was not locked in it.
There were two of them: Doctor and Master, Rassilon chose the Master.
He placed a signal from Gallifrey in his head 4 beats, the heartbeat of a Time Lord — and launched a diamond from his scepter to the Earth, so that the connection with the present and the past was physical.
The Master, as planned, returned the time lords, but after learning about the reason for his madness, he helped the Doctor send them back and killed the president himself.
The first appearances of the Wizard[edit / edit wiki text]
In season 8, starting with the series "Terror of the Autons", the Master (played by Delgado) appeared in eight of the fifteen episodes.
He preferred to disguise himself in society and control others, making insidious plans.
He also repeatedly tried to use other races to capture planets, including Autons and Daemons.
Delgado's last on screen appearance as a Master was in the series "Space Frontier", where he worked with the Daleks and Ogrons, trying to provoke a war between the empires of humans and Draconians.
His final scene ended with a shot at the Doctor and the disappearance of the Master.
Delgado was going to play the Master one more time in the series "The Final Game", in which his character had to die (and then regenerate), saving the Doctor, and where the fact that the Master and the Doctor are brothers would be revealed, which would explain in turn why the Master, with his capabilities, did not kill the Doctor.
But Delgado died in a car accident in Turkey on June 18, 1973, on his way to the shooting of the French comedy "The Tibetan Bell".
This series was replaced by the series "Planet of the Spiders" (1974), and the idea was rejected.
In search of a new life[edit / edit wiki text]
With the death of Delgado, the Master disappeared from the screen for several years.
His next appearance was in the series "The Merciless Killer" (1976), where actor Peter Pratt appears in a thick layer of makeup as a decaying creature at the end of his thirteenth and last life.
Since the situation is much more serious, the Master is much darker than his version performed by Delgado.
Here, the evil Time Lord almost managed to restore his full life with the symbols in the office of the President of the Council of Time Lords, the artifacts of Rassilon.
The Doctor stops him, as it would destroy Gallifrey.
After this story, the Master disappears from the screen again, returning only to 1981.
In the series "The Guardian of Thrackan", he (Jeffrey Beevers, also heavily disguised) manages to renew himself by capturing the body of a Thrackan named Tremas (an anagram of the word "Master"), destroying the original identity.
In the body of Tremas, he was played by Anthony Ainley, and he appeared in the series only occasionally, still in search of eternal life.
In his first appearance in the Logopolis series, his plan to kill the Doctor and capture Logopolis inadvertently causes advanced entropy to destroy most of the known universe (including Thrackan).
In many of his appearances with the Fifth Doctor, the Master again prefers disguise, sometimes even for no apparent reason.
When the creators of the series wanted to hide the influence of the Master in the story, his character was called in the credits with an anagrammatic pseudonym like " Neil Toinay "(Tony Ainley) or" James Stoker " (Eng.
James Stoker - Master's joke, the joke of the Master).
In the series "Five Doctors", the Time Lords offered the Master a new life in return for his help.
Also in this series, the Third Doctor under Sarah Jane addresses the Master by the name of Jahopashat, which puts him in a stupor.
Ainley's final appearance as the Master was in the series "Survival".
Life after death[edit / edit wiki text]
The Master appeared again in the film "Doctor Who" (1996).
In the preface, the Master (played by Gordon Tipple) was executed by the Daleks for his "evil crimes".
The master survives the execution, turning into a small snake like creature.
This creature escapes from the container and climbs into the console of the Doctor's TARDIS, after which the ship has to land in San Francisco at the end of 1999.
This form is unstable and requires a human body.
The master takes over the paramedic Bruce (Eric Roberts).
But the body of Bruce also can not last long with the consciousness of the Master, however, in the human body, the Master can spit acidic liquid at the target.
In an attempt to gain access to the Eye of Harmony to steal the Doctor's regeneration, his new body is dragged into the Eye.
After receiving the body of a paramedic, the Master first puts on a leather raincoat and sunglasses, but then changes into the ceremonial outfit of a Time Lord.
Shalka Master[edit / edit wiki text]
In the web cartoon "The Scream of the Shalka" (2003), the Master, voiced by Derek Jacobi, traveled to the TARDIS as a companion.
More precisely, it was an android with the appearance and character of a Master, which the Doctor designed.
Return[edit / edit wiki text]
When the TV series returned in 2005, in the episode "Dalek" it is reported that all the Time Lords, except the Doctor, died in the Time War.
The doctor said that if anyone else had survived, he would have felt it telepathically.
But the return of the Master is foreshadowed in the series "Traffic Jam", when Bo's Face informs the Tenth Doctor before his death: "You are not alone "("You are not alone").
In the series "Drum Roll" it is revealed that the Time Lords revived the Master to serve at the front during the Time War.
But when he saw the Dalek emperor taking control of the Cruciform, he ran away from the battlefield, never knowing the truth about the fate of his people.
He took the form of a human in the same way as the Doctor in the series "Human Nature", and hid at the end of the universe in the guise of Professor Yana (English Professor Yana; Derek Jacobi).
The letters of the name Yana are an abbreviation of the deathbed revelation of the Face of Bo to the Doctor "You are not alone "("You are not alone").
The wizard regenerates
The doctor meets the professor in the episode "Utopia" , and Martha Jones inadvertently forces the professor to focus on the"onion" clock containing the Master's identity, after which he becomes a Master.
At the same time, the Doctor understands what the name of the professor means — Yana - "Hope will appear to the archiodinokom" (English YANA — "You are not alone").
In a battle with his assistant, the Master is mortally wounded by a shot from a laser pistol, but regenerates into a young version, played by John Simm.
The Master then steals the Doctor's TARDIS and tries to escape, but at the last moment the Doctor blocks the TARDIS with his sonic screwdriver so that the Master can only travel to 100,000,000,000,000 a year and to 2007.
Mr. Saxon[edit / edit wiki text]
Having escaped from the end of the universe, the Master arrives in the UK 18 months before the 2008 election, before the" fall " of Harriet Jones.
The master assumes the guise of Harold Saxon — a high ranking minister in the Ministry of Defense.
During this time, he establishes a network of communication satellites "Archangel", which allows him to influence people with a telepathic field.
With the help of the "Archangel", he inspires confidence in the country and becomes prime minister.
In all this, he is helped by his earthly wife Lucy.
The Master enters into an alliance with the invading Toclafans (actually people from the end of the universe), becoming the ruler of the Earth and turning nations into factories and spaceports for an armada of warships.
With the help of his new weapon (a laser screwdriver), he ages the Doctor to the point that he becomes a tiny old man who fits in a bird cage.
While the Master is preparing to fight the universe, the Doctor returns the force with the help of Martha Jones and the "Archangel".
He wants to keep the Master in his TARDIS, but Lucy kills him with a pistol shot.
However, the Master returns in the Christmas special "The End of Time".
A certain cult is trying to revive it, but the process is disrupted by Lucy Saxon.
Because of this, the Master loses his mind even more, his hair becomes light, non canonical abilities appear, such as lightning from his hands and jumping over huge distances.
He uses the Gates of Immortality to turn all the people on Earth into his own clones.
Then the Master discovers the source of the "drumming" in his head, which has been bothering him since childhood and has driven him crazy.
This source turned out to be the Time Lords, or rather, the ancient Lord Rassilon (Timothy Dalton), who learned from the prophet about the death of the race at the hands of the Doctor.
He sent a signal to the young Master's head so that in the future he could open a portal to Earth.
But along with the Lords, the entire planet Gallifrey appeared, and all the other participants in the Time War also threatened to get out of the trap.
After learning that the Lords were going to destroy time and become disembodied beings, the Master asked Rassilon to take him with him.
But the Doctor managed to send Gallifrey and the Time Lords back to the war.
The Master helped the Doctor at the last moment, but he himself was dragged into a trap with the Time Lords.
Missy[edit / edit wiki text]
In the series "Dark Water" it becomes clear that the main antagonist of the 8th season, Missy (abbreviated from "Mistress") is a new incarnation of the Master, who has already appeared in the series "Deep Breath", "Inside the Dalek", "Caretaker", "Plane", "In the forest at night".
The plot does not explain how the Master escaped from Gallifrey and why he regenerated.
Missy planned to revive the dead people, making them cybermen, and use them to attack the Earth.
In the episode "Death in Heaven", it becomes clear that Missy is the same woman who gave the Doctor's phone number to Clara and she also placed an ad in the newspaper for a meeting between the Doctor and Clara at a restaurant in the episode "Deep Breath".
With the help of explosions of cybermen over the earth, she was going to kill all life on Earth with the help of a certain cataclysm, which she failed to provoke.
At the end of the series, the cybermen, controlled by Danny Pink, destroy the storm clouds by blowing themselves up in them, thereby destroying Missy's plans.
Clara wants to personally kill the Master, but the Doctor does not let her do it.
A second before the cyberman, who later turns out to be Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart, shoots, Missy manages to teleport.
Character and abilities[edit / edit wiki text]
The Master is the classic archetype of a supervillain.
The constant goal of the Master is to manage everything and everything, which is why he chose the name " Master "for himself (English Master — "master").
His main character traits are genius, sociopathy, a cynical attitude to human life and a fantastic conceit along with megalomania.
In the series "Utopia", the Doctor calls the masked Master a genius and highly evaluates his intelligence before finding out who he really is.
He possesses hypnosis, caused by a gaze and the phrase "I am a Master, and you will obey me", telepathy and the possibility of regeneration inherent in all Time Lords.
Having exhausted all my regenerations, I tried to restore them many times.
Usually Time Lords can regenerate 12 times, but there are mentions that the Master has a large number of regenerations.
In the series "The End of Time", he managed to be reborn with an unknown number of new regenerations.
In many ways, the Master shows himself as a" reflection " of the Doctor.
The Master and the Doctor were in the same class on Gallifrey.
After their first meeting on the screen, the Doctor admits that he "very much hopes" to meet the Master again.
In the series "Five Doctors", the Master says that " you should not even think about space without a Doctor."
The Third Doctor called the Master his best enemy.
When the Master dies in the hands of the Tenth Doctor, the Doctor was broken.
In the special issue "The Last Time Lord", the Doctor says to the Master: "I donot know who I would be without you."
In the series "Logopolis", the Doctor says about the Master: "He is a Time Lord.
In many ways, we have the same thoughts."
In the series "Merciless Killer", the Master manages to send a false telepathic prediction to the Doctor, but it is unknown whether he did it himself or with the help of some technology.
In the series "The End of Time", during a telepathic communication with the Master, the Doctor learned that there is actually a knock in the Master's head.
Equipment[edit / edit wiki text]
In the classic series, the Master possessed a TARDIS with fully functional chameleon chains, which helped her to take the form of many things, including a horse carriage, a fir tree, a computer, a grandfather clock, an architectural column, an iron maiden and a fireplace.
In the new series, it is unknown whether the Master's TARDIS still exists.
In the episode "Rise of the Cybermen", the Doctor claims that his TARDIS is the last, although at the time he also believed that he was the last Time Lord.
In the series "Utopia", the Master has to steal the Doctor's TARDIS, although it is not known exactly how he got to the end of the universe in the first place.
The Master's original favorite weapon is the fabric shredder compressor, which reduces the target to the size of a doll, killing it.
Externally, the compressor resembles a Doctor's favorite device — a sonic screwdriver.
In the later images, the compressor shot a red beam.
In the series "Drum Roll", the Master shows the Doctor his new weapon — a laser screwdriver that kills with one shot.
It can also cause the target to age quickly, using a technology developed by Professor Lazarus ("The Lazarus Experiment").
The screwdriver itself is equipped with a biometric system that allows only the Master to use it.
Missy uses a device the size of a smartphone, with which she can receive information, as well as kill.
She uses a special bracelet to control the cybermen.
