A renegade Time Lord criminal suffers from a rare mental illness seen in Time Lords called regenerative dissonance. In this condition, each time they regenerate, their previous incarnations continue to exist, coexisting in the current incarnation's head as other personalities. These personalities bicker, argue, plot, and vie for control of the body.
Using the alias The Eleven in their eleventh incarnation, they serve as a supporting antagonist in Big Finish Productions' Doctor Who audio stories, especially those associated with the Seventh and Eighth Doctor.
The Eleven is the the secondary antagonist of the Doom Coalition anthology series and a supporting antagonist in Ravenous and The Time War, all featuring the Eighth Doctor as the protagonist. The Eleven is their most recurring and well-known incarnation so far.
So far, six actors and actresses have voiced the different incarnations of this Time Lord. Mark Bonnar voiced the Eleven, John Heffernan voiced the Nine, Tim McMullan voiced the Eight, Julia McKenzie, known for portraying Jane Marple in Agatha Christie's Marple, voiced the Twelve, Michael Maloney voiced the Two, and Maureen O'Brien voiced the Union.
Personality[]
They change their personality when they regenerate; each incarnation has different characteristics. However, as a whole, they have a few things in common. They don’t like staying in one place, and each incarnation hates each other like bratty siblings, constantly fighting. When they were in their own bodies, they tried to find a way to suppress the other personas.
The Doctor considers the renegade Time Lord more dangerous than the Master or the Rani. Even at their worst, they exhibit restraint and realize when they have gone too far. In contrast, the Eleven lacks this self-awareness, as evidenced by the Nine's claim that there is no such thing as "going too far," but merely going further than others. The Renegade Time Lord changes their title which went by a sequential number in each of their incarnations.
Incarnations[]
- the One - a fussy old archivist, pedantic, logical, bookish and knowledgeable on many Gallifreyan secrets
- the Two - calm, charming, reasonable, convincing, a liar, and a manipulator. He claims to have an all-powerful nose that can sniff out treachery.
- the Three - childlike, sadistic, playful, and self-centered, prone to petulant tantrums if crossed. He is more willing to kill.
- the Four - an arrogant and sophisticated game-player, convinced of his own intellectual superiority.
- the Five - cocky, conceited, wise-cracking, confident trickster and a jokester.
- the Six - a crazed psychopath, maniacal, violent, unstable. Prone to arbitrary acts of murder.
- the Seven - a rude and abrasive scientist, precise, and clinically analytical. He prefers elegant solutions.
- the Eight - thoroughly decent and honest, trying to be a good man. He lives in torment over what his other selves have done.
- the Nine - a full-fledged kleptomaniac, wanting to steal everything and unable to let anything go.
- the Ten - a deceitful mesmerist, capable of hypnotic control.
- the Eleven - a cold-as-steel gentleman, uptight and utterly ruthless. He is a deadly corrupter, short-tempered, argumentative, and a grand schemer.
- the Twelve - a clever, well-mannered, grandmotherly, and headstrong woman who believes that with manners and firm discipline her previous incarnations can be controlled.
- the Union - No longer identifying as a number, she seeks zen and peace above all else, as well as the desire for things not to change. She created a multi-dimensional space station known as "the Diamond Array" to silence her previous selves. However, key aspects of her previous selves merged with her, containing attributes like the arrogance of the Four, the technical know-how of the Seven, the total insanity of the Six, and the obsessive collecting of the Nine, which fueled her obsession for diamonds
This Time Lord's most famous incarnation, the Eleven, is a cunning and deadly corrupter. He slips into his previous incarnations when he's riled up. His previous incarnations had methods of dealing with these conflict, but the Eight was the best at it. Nearly all of their incarnations (Except the Eight), in spite of their disgust and despise towards each other in the Eleven's mind, show a particular hatred towards the Doctor, since it was the Seventh Doctor who sent the Eleven back into prison.
Biography[]
the One[]
The Renegade Time Lord, hailing from Gallifrey, came from a non-ranking family and had minimal interactions with his parents, as such relationships were discouraged in Time Lord society, especially for those aspiring to rise above their social status. His humble beginnings resulted in the Time Lords paying him little attention.
At the Gallifreyan Academy, he was part of the Arcalian Chapter. His first incarnation studied the Doctor's story and found inspiration in it. He graduated from the Time Lord Academy with a quintuple first in a variety of subjects and subsequently worked at the Panopticon Archive, where he discovered information about a prototype stellar manipulator.
During a period when several members of the High Council of the Time Lords were away on business, and a specific number of votes were needed to pass certain motions, he was granted a temporary seat. After being humiliated by a Prydonian, he realized that his people were merely "belligerent children." Disillusioned, he left Gallifrey and turned to a life of crime. Eventually, he underwent a regeneration into the Two, living with the ongoing internal conflict caused by regenerative dissonance.
the Two[]
After discovering he had regenerative dissonance, the Two sought the Sisterhood of Karn to understand his future condition and whether he could avoid his fate. Instead, he learned that the Doctor would repeatedly foil his future schemes. Resolved to preemptively stop the Doctor, he tracked him to Earth. However, the Doctor outsmarted him, seizing his TARDIS and leaving him in the custody of UNIT.
Eventually, the Two escaped. He duped Harry Sullivan, convincing him he was a future incarnation of the Doctor, to study a piece of desentherium, a mineral capable of opening a time corridor. Unbeknownst to him, the War Doctor, reverted to his sixth form due to a degeneration weapon, arrived to investigate. The Doctor resolved the situation for Harry and the Two, inadvertently enabling the Two to travel back to 1963 to attempt destroying the Doctor's TARDIS with a warp bomb. This would prevent his future from occurring. Nevertheless, the Doctor managed to reach his TARDIS in time, thwarting the Two's plan by linking himself to the TARDIS' telepathic circuits and inducing a stupor in the Two. The Doctor then left the Two on a desert planet, offering him a chance for redemption.
the Six[]
the Six once massacred ten-thousand people because he "wanted to know how it sounded".
the Seven[]
the Seven was an old friend of the Kandyman.
the Eight[]
In 14th century Prague, the Eight witnessed the Clocksmith and the Solvers collecting Syran metal deposited by the Eleven's TARDIS and proclaimed that the end of the universe was imminent. The Clocksmith, unwilling to have the Eight join the Doom Coalition, had a duke imprison him in Prague Castle. Despite this, the Eight eventually escaped. During his imprisonment, his jailors referred to him as Osm.
By 1538, the Eight was living as Brother Octavian in an English monastery, where Abbot Malvern taught him to cope with the voices in his head. Upon encountering the Eighth Doctor, he initially fled but later instructed the Abbot to ensure the Doctor did not meddle with the Chronometer. He orchestrated the transport of the Doctor's TARDIS to the Tower of London and, after departing with Lady Risolva, penned a report on the Doctor's supposed demise for Thomas Cromwell.
The Eight then stowed away in the Clocksmith's TARDIS, arriving in Rome in 2016, where he prevented Helen Sinclair from stepping into the road. He proceeded to the Science Museum to thwart her completion of the Chronometer and encountered the Doctor and River Song. He launched a psychic assault on the Clocksmith, who in turn tried to kill the Eight. Surviving the attack, the Eight emerged from the wreckage and regenerated into the Nine aboard the Doctor's TARDIS.
the Nine[]
The Crucible of Souls[]
After regenerating, the Nine initially claimed to be a new incarnation of the Doctor to Helen Sinclair and Liv Chenka. Rather than trying to be a "good man" like his predecessor, the Nine was motivated by kleptomanic greed. Helen and Liv helped him to rob the archive on Gallifrey, but he abandoned Liv when she became suspicious of his erratic and condescending behaviour. He took Helen hostage and brought her to the Crucible of Souls. He attempted to use the Crucible to gain immortality and exorcise his previous incarnations. After being thwarted by the Eighth Doctor, the Nine stole the Clocksmith's TARDIS and ran away.
Companion Piece[]
While piloting the Clocksmith's TARDIS, the Nine ran into River Song, whom he kidnapped. He then decided to get a complete collection of the Doctor's companions, torturing River in order to find out their names and locations. After collecting them, they were placed in a prison. However, River was able to trick the Nine into gathering Liv Chenka, Helen Sinclair, Charley Pollard and Bliss in one cell, before she manipulated the Nine into trying to acquire Katarina's corpse after River's own past self retrieved Katarina's body, River knowing that it would take time for the Nine to retrieve Katarina while playing on his ego to convince him to acquire a "rare" specimen for his collection. Using Liv's experience of technology, Helen's experience with codes, Bliss' knowledge of computer science, and Charley's nature as a temporal paradox, they were able to take control of the Nine's drones and escape their prison. Although the Nine returned with Katarina's corpse and nearly recaptured the women, his attempt to psychically link with Katarina's corpse to ascertain her identity caused Katarina's remaining mental activity to disrupt the Nine's own mental focus, allowing the women to defeat him. While River took the other companions home, Liv and Helen remained to be rescued by the Doctor, leaving the Nine in one of the cells in the prison.
The Odds Against[]
Tracking the Apocalypse Deathwatch - a ship that transported rich villains across the universe to observe mass catastrophes - the Nine attempted to steal most of the items on board, but acquired an unexpected ally in Thana, the last of a race who could only die from natural causes, who shared his interest in the rare. The Nine contemplated making her his "partner", but found himself facing a problem when the Deathwatch became caught up in a complex temporal rupture caused by the destruction of an ancient TARDIS. The situation became even more complicated for the Nine when he learned that the Fifth Doctor was also on the ship, along with a young woman who claimed to be the Doctor's daughter from the future. The Nine initially claimed to be willing to help the Doctor get the Deathwatch out of the temporal rupture, but changed his plans when he realised that he could use the temporal ruptures to create a complex temporal network that would allow him to access all of Earth's history, as the fractured temporal splinters were actually fragments of a destroyed Earth. However, the Doctor was able to severe the temporal links the Nine had used to link his TARDIS to Earth, and then forced the Nine to retreat by threatening to time ram his vault.
The Dreams of Avarice[]
Having stolen various advanced technologies from other planets, the Nine's final stolen component was the dimensional control from the Fourth Doctor's TARDIS. With this new weapon, which included a device capable of adjusting the weight of any object, the Nine was not only able to steal the Museum of Modern Art from the planet Luxuriana, but subsequently managed to shrink and steal the planet itself. Fortunately, the Doctor was able to pursue the Nine to Luxuriana and escape the force field the Nine had erected around the planet. When the Nine attempted to steal the semi-telepathic God-Crystal, the crystal's mental powers nearly left the Nine in a catatonic state with the Doctor, Thana and others trapped in his mind until the Doctor provoked the Nine into releasing them. Faced with the threat of his collection being destroyed, the Nine agreed to return Luxuriana and the Doctor's dimensional control. However, despite knowing the risks of the Crystal's power, his obsession with possessing such a rare item became too great, and the Nine was last seen trying to follow the crystal into its native dimension even with no knowledge of what it would be like.
the Ten[]
He once killed a squad of Gallifreyan soldiers on Dalgar by hypnotising the first officer to kill the commander, then the second officer to the first officer, and so on. The Ten let one soldier survive the incident so that she could tell Gallifrey about what he had done.
the Eleven[]
One for All[]
The Eleven married a mutant named Miskavel and helped her destroy her own planet, for revenge against the citizens of Molaruss. The couple then went to Molaruss, when they combined Duotech neural technology with a cloning dissemination machine, so that the Eleven could put some of the other personalities into clones. They also left the Eleven's TARDIS wandering in the Vortex, controlled by the mind of the One. The Sixth Doctor and Constance Clarke found it, landed inside it and brought it to Molaruss. There, the Doctor was tricked by Miskavel into pouring the mind of one of the clones into the telepathic circuits of his TARDIS, allowing the One to take control of it and take it away, exiling the Doctor forever.
However, the detachment of his original consciousness caused the Eleven to become progressively weak to the point of death, while his clones lost all sense of control; he also discovered Miskavel took advantage of their plan to detach other of his personalities. The Eleven then accepted the help of the Eight and the Doctor (brought back to Molaruss by the One) to reverse the process and regain all of his personalities. He then proceded to escape, taking Miskavel with him, but when he tried to dematerialize while having still the Doctor's TARDIS inside his own, the latter one dematerialized in its turn. This caused a rapture in the Eleven's TARDIS, sending him and Miskavel adrift.
The Murder of Oliver Akkron[]
The TARDIS crashed back to Molaruss at an earlier point in time, and the Eleven and Miskavel were saved and cured by locals. Waiting for their TARDIS to recover, the Eleven joined a group of hermits who taught him how to silence the voices of his previous incarnations through meditation. After killing them all, the Eleven posed as "father Octavian", wrote a book about his experience and became a public figure, the leader of a cult. His popularity grew so much that Oliver Akkron, the president of the planet, perceived him as a threat and tried to kill him. The plan failed, though, because in all those years Miskavel disguised herself as an assistant to Akkron, and her and the Eleven killed the president. The Eleven tried to take hold of power immediately, but was instead arrested and tortured for the murder. This was all a scheme from Miskavel: using his TARDIS to go back in time once more, she made her way into the hospital he was kept and arranged for his flight, making him look as if he had been the victim of a scheme from political rivals.
Elevation[]
The Eleven became Global President of Molaruss, and built a "crown" that allowed him to comunicate with every single inhabitant at the same time. Eventually got bored by having to deal with two-minded beings. He convinced them then to accept his project of "elevation", and dispersed nanobites in the atmosphere: once activated, they would split the minds of Molaruss in eleven minds to make them just like him. He also schemed to inoculate a piece of his mind into their heads through the crown, so he could control them, but to avoid the potentially lethal effects of the psychic feedback, he installed a failsafe. When all was ready, the Eleven summoned the Sixth Doctor and Constance Clarke to see his triumph, and activated the nanobites. However, this last act horrifed so much Miskavel that she betrayed him, and when the Doctor persuaded the Molarussian chef of security to disable the failsafe, Miskavel stopped the Eleven from taking off the crown: to avoid death, he was then forced to reverse the process. Weakened by the effort, he was incarcerated by Miskavel into his own TARDIS, and brought far away from Molaruss.
Dark Universe[]
The Eleven contacted Ace to use her charitable contacts to get into an isolated country and access the Dark Gate, through which he could unleash the power of the Dark Universe. There, he made contact with the Dark Citizens and used their power to become the ruler of the universe, wiping out races such as the Daleks and Sontarans and reprogramming the Cybermen to become his agents. He kept the Seventh Doctor as a jester, intending to kill him after he had given up, but was eventually tricked by him, Ace, Cardinal Ollistra and Captain Rasmus into a Matrix projection. As he was trapped there, the Doctor struck a deal with the Dark Citizens, who abandoned the Eleven and put the universe back to normal, leaving him to be captured. The Eleven was taken by the Doctor to Gallifrey, where he was frozen in the Capitol prison facility. Before being frozen, he told the Doctor that it would be "child's play" to escape, hinting at his plan to escape using an eye filter.
Doom Coalition[]
The Eleven/The Satanic Mill[]
The Eleven was unfrozen on Cardinal Padrac's orders, ostensibly for an interview with Kiani. He used his eye filter to escape, breaking into the president's office and declaring himself Acting Lord President before escaping in a stolen TARDIS with the Regeneration Codex, watched by the Eighth Doctor. Using the Codex, the Eleven found and activated a forgotten stellar manipulator with the goal of destroying the Sun and, by extension, Mercury, Earth and Venus. Transforming the manipulator into a Victorian workhouse staffed with artificial humans, he hired two mercenaries to capture the Doctor, in which they failed. Regardless, the Doctor came to the manipulator and the Eleven captured him using his Orbs. He left the Doctor to die to power the manipulator, but the Doctor's TARDIS materialised around the Doctor, saving him. As it approached, the Eleven told him that his plans were far bigger than just destroying Earth for revenge.
The Sonomancer[]
The Eleven went to Syra as part of his plans with Caleera. He planned a trap in the mines to kill the Doctor. He also tried to kill Liv in the mines, but River Song stopped him. He wanted to use Caleera to destroy planets. He sabotaged a Time Lady's TARDIS before he went to the Crucible of Souls and found out that Commander Veklin had abandoned it.
The Side of the Angels[]
The Eleven later followed the Doctor and his companions to 1970s New York to track Ollistra and destroy the remaining Time Lords who were against Padrac's plans. There, he met the Monk and found out about the alliance of Ollistra and the Weeping Angels. He later manipulated the Monk and the Weeping Angels to do his bidding, helped by the Monk's desire to save his own life and used the latter to take the Time Lords who were hiding in New York as hostages. After a heated argument, he pushed Ollistra from the top of the building and fought the Doctor. Then, it was revealed that Padrac was just using the Eleven as a pawn, causing a commotion between his past incarnations. This pushed the Eleven to use his Time Ring to go back to Gallifrey and see the truth. The Doctor used this as his chance to follow him to Gallifrey.
Stop the Clock[]
The Eleven later found out that he could not enter the Capitol, and was found by Tessno outside the city. The latter almost killed him due to a personal grudge, but the Doctor stopped her from doing so. The Eleven was later brought in to the headquarters of the Opposition. Tessno was asked to lock him inside a room, where he provoked Tessno by using her grudge against her. Tessno released the Eleven to challenge him, but he killed her instead and escaped. He later brought Helen as a hostage and rode a Battle TARDIS to counter the plan of the Doctor to disguise as the Eleven to infiltrate Padrac's headquarters. When Caleera gave Helen the power of the Sonomancer, he was held down by Helen as the latter used the Battle TARDIS to destroy the Resonance Engine.
Ravenous[]
The Battle TARDIS crash-landed on Rykerzon, and Helen and the Eleven were taken as prisoners. During that time, Helen cared for the Eleven and tried to help him control his condition, suppress the voices of his other incarnations. The Eleven pretended to be receptive, even calling Helen his "saviour", but it was all an act, since he wanted to use her new abilities from the Sonomancer in his plans, and link her with the psychic spider. When the Eighth Doctor and Liv arrived looking for Helen, she was thrilled to see them again, despite the Doctor being sceptical of her. Eventually, the Eleven joined with the Kandyman to take over Colony 23, a plan which was then stopped by the Doctor, Liv and Helen. He got away and became terrified of the Ravenous' arrival, something he saw whilst being linked to the psychic spider.
The Eleven was able to kill Jaxa and steal her TARDIS, but the ship was somehow attacked by one of the Ravenous, forcing him to send a distress call to the Doctor. When the Doctor traced the call back to its source, the Eleven explained what was on Jaxa's ship, but subsequently stole the Doctor's TARDIS while the Doctor and Helen were trying to save the trapped Liv from the Ravenous, leaving them on Jaxa's dying TARDIS.
However, the Eleven was forced to return for the Doctor when he realised that he couldn't outrun the Ravenous on his own, even helping to rescue Liv and Helen from the space station where they were being held captive by the Nine. After tracking the legends of the Ravenous to determine where they were previously defeated, the Eleven discovered that the monastery that was allegedly the place where they were trapped was actually part of a trap set by the Nine, who had learned that their regenerative dissonance made them uniquely immune to the Ravenous, as it made their regenerative energy unpalatable. However, the Eleven was disgusted with the Nine for wasting this knowledge of their immunity to the Ravenous on such a petty attack on the Doctor, forcing the Nine to retreat while he convinced the Ravenous to let him allegedly "banish" them from this dimension. Having also convinced his other selves to pretend that they had been drained away by an attack from the Ravenous, the Eleven intended to remain with the Doctor, Liv and Helen until he was ready to unleash the Ravenous on the universe once again to achieve his full revenge on his enemies in this universe.
Now allied with the Ravenous, the Eleven pretended to go along with the Doctor's plan to take him for medical treatment somewhere quiet. While this plan failed when the planet the Doctor took him to was revealed to be a living being that 'ate' anything on it as part of a complex life cycle, and the Eleven inadvertently revealed that his other selves still existed, he was able to affirm his alleged desire to reform by saving the Doctor, Liv and Helen from the planet.
Convincing the Doctor that he still desired peace, the Eleven requested to be taken to the desert planet Parrak, allegedly to live as a hermit. However, his true goal was to find the tomb of the ancient Gallifreyan scientist Artron, where he could retrieve Artron's Matrix print and thus his knowledge of regeneration. The plan was seemingly compromised when it was revealed that the Master, reduced to a burnt state after his failed attempts at stealing body after body, was after the same thing. The Eleven proposed an alliance which the ailing Master accepted, although he was unaware the Eleven had stolen one of his weapons and unleashed the Ravenous on him and the Doctor. Although the Doctor and the Master tried to stop him, the Eleven left the Master to be killed by the Ravenous while he retrieved the Matrix print.
Returning to the Crucible of Souls, while the Ravenous fed on the Time Lord security team assigned to decommission the base, the Eleven was able to use Artron's Matrix print to reverse the polarity of the Crucible; where it would have once absorbed life energy from the dying universe, it could now grant the gift of regeneration to the entire universe, making them all potential food for the Ravenous. As the Eleven revelled in the thought of being the last being left in the universe, he was contacted by three incarnations of the Master, who offered him the still-living Artron if he would spare them from the Ravenous's current spree. The Eleven accepted the deal while planning to betray the Masters anyway, but he was unaware that Artron had inadvertently created the Ravenous, who still harboured some memory of his kindness to them before their transformation. While Liv (who had gained perpetual regeneration as she was on the Crucible when it activated) kept the Eleven's Ravenous guards occupied, the Doctor was able to help Artron realise that he could restore the Ravenous to their old state, Artron sacrificing his own life to revert the Ravenous back to the Kolstani while the Masters used the Crucible to take the ability to regenerate away from the rest of the universe.
Attempting to escape the Crucible, the Eleven retreated to the Master's TARDIS, where he was confronted by the "Deathworm" Master, the War Master and Missy. He attempted to propose an alliance between them as the Doctor's two greatest enemies, but the Masters all dismissed the idea of him as anything but "a twisted mess", and they also scorned the way he'd tried to pitch the idea of them joining together as the greatest enemies of the Doctor, a title that belonged to the Master alone. Each one of the three Masters took turns in shooting him before they kicked him out of the TARDIS. Missy left him her vortex manipulator, claiming that they weren't completely heartless. As with the Eight, the Eleven had to endure the scathing criticisms of his previous selves and their taunts. He tried to find Artron's Matrix Print to heal himself, but quickly found out the Master had already stolen it. Resigned to his fate even if he hated the thought of being pushed into the depths of his own mind like his previous selves, the Eleven was left to regenerate into the Twelve.
the Twelve[]
The Twelve had a much better control of the incarnations within her mind, due to a neural inhibitor given to her by the Time Lords, although she also considered herself as possessing the firm hand necessary to keep them all in line even without the chip. She was assigned on a mission by the High Council to help the Eighth Doctor investigate the origins of an Ogron which declared itself to also be the Doctor. During this time, she proved her control over her previous selves by summoning the Nine's personality when she and the Doctor needed to break into the Daleks' base.
She was captured by the Daleks, along with the Doctor and Bliss and taken to a facility with her memory suppressed. She was given the name "Pi Gamma" by Bliss. Without her neural inhibitor, she had to work harder to keep her other incarnations suppressed. She attempted to break out of the facility, with her previous incarnations prodding and goading her, forcing her to develop a means of disrupting the transmat technology using the cybernetic components of another prisoner.
After the encounter with the Daleks on Uzmal, when the Time Lords investigated a creature that was meant to be living there based on the Twelve's memories, Cardinal Ollistra had the Twelve put into stasis. Shortly after being put into stasis, the Twelve convinced a dreadshade to release her; the Dreadshade was the only living being in the armoury not kept in stasis as its own terror would normally keep it contained, but after the Valeyard's actions had erased the Daleks from existence the Dreadshade had lost its immobilising terror of the Daleks. The Twelve tried to use the Dreadshade to blackmail the Time Lords into giving her a seat on the High Council, but when she mentioned the Daleks (which she still remembered as she had been in stasis when they were erased), it sparked a new wave of terror from the Dreadshade that caused it to explode. The Twelve was lost in the subsequent explosion.
the Union[]
Unlike her other incarnations who numbered themselves according to incarnation number, the thirteenth incarnation took on the name “The Union”. The Union created a huge multi-dimensional space station as she calls it "the Diamond Array" as a way to control the dissonance in her mind. She used the calm of her meditation room coupled with the degeneration energy from captured Time Lords to control this. She collected degeneration energy from the Doctor, the Master and the Corsair and planned to take similar energy from the Monk.
She captured the Two to help pilot her ship and control the engines she used to convert star systems into diamonds for her collection. When the Doctor returned to the Diamond Array, he undid her plans with the help of River Song and Susan Foreman, and her regenerative dissonance returned.
Trivia[]
- Some of the incarnations of the Eleven could be considered to be evil counterparts to some of the incarnations of the Doctor (up to the Eighth Doctor). For example:
- The One sounds noticeably older than the other incarnations, much like the First Doctor, who is the oldest incarnation of the Doctor.
- The Three is apparently more willing to kill comparing to his other incarnations. On the other hand, the Third Doctor was an eager martial artist and had less qualms about handling a gun than most of his other selves.
- The Five is a polite and amiable gentleman much like the Fifth Doctor.
- The Six is wrathful and violent, much like how violent the Sixth Doctor was post-regeneration. This is probably the weakest connection however as the Sixth Doctor was only like this very briefly and was normally simply a snarky and egocentric man.
- The Seven is an intelligent and manipulative scientist like how the Seventh Doctor was an intelligent sociopath.
- The Eight is much kinder than his previous incarnations, trying to stop his other selves. The Eighth Doctor is not only much more gentle than the Sixth Doctor and much less manipulative than the Seventh Doctor, but also the exact incarnation of the Doctor who has to deal with the Eleven the most, thus sharing the same goal with the Eight.
- The Ten was particularly good at mental manipulation, much like the Tenth Doctor's more regular use of his telepathic abilities compared to the other Doctors.
