An race created by ancient WellIntentionedExtremist scientists, who created a number of very nasty biological weapons to use in their warfare. Realising that those viruses might end up destroying the universe, they set the Viyrans the goal of wiping them all out again. Every single bit of them. Every single bit of potential of someone, somewhere, ''maybe'' mutating a gene that ''might'' cause them to develop the diseases. And if they can't destroy the virus, they'll gladly murder its carriers. First encounter the Sixth Doctor and Peri, then get mixed up thoroughly in Charley Pollard's life thanks to the Dalek Time Controller, before becoming antagonists to the Eighth Doctor and Molly. Originally showed up to bother Ten and Rose in the short prose story "No One Died".

This Elizabeth Klein is an anomaly of time travel. She comes from an alternate future where the Nazis won the second World War, a future that never happened thanks to her going back into the past to use the Seventh Doctor to figure out how the TARDIS, now in Nazi hands, worked. The Doctor later ran into her in 1950's Kenya and took her aboard the TARDIS. This... [[ApocalypseHow did not turn out well]]. Our own universe has a Klein as well: see the entry under "Companions" for her tropes.

Please keep in mind that, although the series is officially part of the Franchise/{{Whoniverse}}, it encompasses many different timelines/continuities and includes adaptations of existing works from the Franchise/DoctorWhoExpandedUniverse. Due to Creator/BigFinish's sheer size and complexity, it also plays by the rules of the Franchise/DoctorWhoExpandedUniverse: the TV series can at times contradict or overwrite the timelines described here, or adapt them for the televised continuity.

!!TheMaster
-->Voiced by: Geoffrey Beevers (2001, 2003, 2012-2013), [[spoiler: MarkGatiss]] (2003), David Garfield (2010), [[spoiler: Alex Macqueen]] (2012, 2014)

The Doctor's former Academy buddy, and one of the main antagonists in the TV series. Pops up with some frequency in Creator/BigFinish, typically unannounced and accompanied by a grand [[TheReveal reveal]].

* AlternateUniverse: In the Unbound release [[spoiler: "Sympathy For The Devil"]], he's been [[spoiler: working with the government for decades, without the Third Doctor around to stop him.]]
* BaldOfEvil: The [[spoiler: Alex Macqueen]] incarnation.
* {{Camp}}: In one particular incarnation, he's even more theatrical and "look-at-me"-ish than Six. The Seventh Doctor mentions to his companion if ''he's'' ever [[spoiler: found shouting "Later!", to shoot him between the eyes]].
* BoxedCrook: In "Eyes of the Master" the Mcqueen Master claims the Time Lords resurrected him to help them against the Daleks.
* CatchPhrase: [[spoiler: "Hello, you!"]]
* TheChessmaster: A fan of setting up dominos and then watching them fall.
* LouisCypher: Posing as a "Dr. De'Ath" may have been ''a bit'' overdramatic.
* EyeScream: In order to track down Molly O'Sullivan and her dark eyes, he spends some time posing as an optometrist. It goes [[BodyHorror exactly like you'd expect]].
* FauxAffablyEvil: In [[spoiler: "UNIT: Dominion"]], his cheery disposition doesn't drop even slightly after he reveals himself to be the Master. (He just gets [[EvilIsHammy hammier]].)
* FutureMeScaresMe: Invoked when he pretends to be [[spoiler: a future regeneration of the Doctor]].
** TheFogOfAges: Invoked in the same story, as an excuse for why he supposedly can't remember a lot of important things.
* JokerImmunity
* {{Keet}}: In [[spoiler: "UNIT: Dominion"]], he's excitable, enthusiastic and, most importantly, '''loud'''.
* LargeHam: Although it depends on the regeneration. The [[spoiler: Creator/MarkGatiss]] Master, in his one Unbound story, is positively restrained compared to some of the others.
** After his incredibly hammy turn in his debut [[spoiler: "UNIT: Dominion"]], Macqueen's Master is notably more restrained in Dark Eyes 2.
* LossOfIdentity: In the episode "Master".
* NotSoDifferent: From Seven. Played entirely for horror once it's revealed to what extent this trope is in effect.
* [[TheNthDoctor The Nth Master]]: The Geoffrey Beevers Master, seen in the TV series in "The Keeper Of Traken", is the one usually encountered by the Doctor in Big Finish. Several stories feature alternate or future regenerations.
** Creator/BenedictCumberbatch even [[WhatCouldHaveBeen asked if he could have a go at the part]], but was rejected because the RoleAssociation from other shows he's in would be too strong.
* PhlebotinumOverload: The first time he's encountered in Creator/BigFinish, he's messed with the wrong EldritchAbomination, causing him to [[spoiler: lose the Anthony Ainley body and revert back to his old crispy Geoffrey Beevers-shaped self]].
* SharpDressedMan: The [[spoiler: Alex Macqueen]] incarnation combines a simple, classic suit with a velvet jacket, and prides himself on his fashion sense.
* ShoutOutToShakespeare: In "Eyes of the Master" seems fond of this.
* SignificantAnagram: Both with his own name, and with the actors' names.
* StartOfDarkness: We get to hear his very first murder, back on Gallifrey. [[spoiler: Except it wasn't.]]
* TomatoInTheMirror: In "Master". It's a ForegoneConclusion from the start, and the episode isn't so much about TheReveal as it is about its consequences.
* WickedCultured: ''Oh'' yes.
* WritingAroundTrademarks: For their adaptation of the unused TV script "The Hollows of Time", Big Finish couldn't get permission to use the Master. The character of "Professor Stream" is left ambiguous -- though there are enough hints to gather that it's him.

!!Rassilon
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rassilon_1975.png]]
-->Voiced by: Don Warrington (2002-2004), Conrad Westmaas (2003)

One of the triumvirate who founded all of Time Lord society, and the first Lord President of Gallifrey. Long since believed dead, his legacy still plays a part of modern Time Lord society.

* BigBad: To the Eighth Doctor up to the end of the Divergent Universe Arc.
* BigBadFriend: To Omega.
* BadBoss: [[spoiler:To the Kro'ka. When he sniggers at Rassilon's BlatantLies he tortures him. When he failed Rassilon in [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho063Caerdroia Caerdroia]] the swelling took 3 weeks to go down]].
* TheChessmaster: Not necessarily the creator of all of the Doctor's problems in his first series, but certainly involved in them.
* [[spoiler: EvilutionaryBiologist]]: The concept of Regeneration was [[spoiler: outright stolen from the Vampires]]. And the reason for the abundance of [[HumanoidAliens bipedial, humanoid aliens]] in the Whoniverse? [[spoiler: Rassilon threw those that didn't fit the mold into a pocket universe and/or ensured they never existed in the first place, whichever was more expedient for him]]. (Although, the vampire bit was part of a projection, which the TARDIS stated was based on facts but not necessarily the entire truth.)
* FateWorseThanDeath: Inflicted one upon those that would eventually become known as "the Divergent". [[spoiler: Also suffers one himself, forced to re-enact "Scherzo" without end...with Kro'ka as company, as opposed to Charley, which must rub salt in the wound a touch]].
* ForeShadowing: Between "Neverland" and "Zagreus", the episode "Omega" showed us the sheer extent of Rassilon's political manipulation tricks.
* MessianicArchetype: During "Neverland" (and his {{Foreshadowing}} appearances before it) he appears practically as a benevolent God, helping out his "favoured son", the Doctor. Later stories show this to be [[spoiler: a massive front, however]].
* PathOfInspiration: Established [[spoiler: The Foundation]].
* SelfProclaimedLiar: [[spoiler: Tells C'rizz he is this.]]
* RaceLift: His episodes were the first ''Series/DoctorWho'' stories to establish the idea that Time Lords can be black, which was later carried over to the TV series by Creator/RussellTDavies, and became a huge plot point under Creator/StevenMoffat. The idea is a few ''years'' OlderThanTheyThink.
* WickedCultured: In "The Next Life", he quotes Macbeth.

!!Omega
-->Voiced by: Ian Collier (2003)

After [[Recap/DoctorWhoS20E1ArcOfInfinity "Arc Of Infinity"]], Omega (of course) survived and went on to try and reclaim his position as one of the most powerful Time Lords in history. It doesn't go very well.

* {{Adorkable}}: Seriously -- especially during his flashbacks to Gallifrey Academy.
* AffablyEvil: Depending on the state of his sanity, he crosses straight over into EvillyAffable.
* TheBusCameBack: Still played by Ian Collier and everything!
* EtTuBrute: To Rassilon.
* [[spoiler: FakeMemories]]: It's revealed that [[spoiler: when he made another copy of Five's body after "Arc Of Infinity", he was also saddled with some of Five's memories.]] As it turns out, Five [[spoiler: is the one who committed genocide (though entirely by accident), and Omega's evil deeds -- if any -- pale in comparison to what the Doctor has done.]]
* LargeHam
* LossOfIdentity
* NotSoDifferent: From Five. Five really, really tries his best to help Omega.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Omega is [[spoiler: the nickname he got for the lowest grade ever given at the Gallifrey Academy -- grade omega. His real name is Peylix]].
** Also, he rather adorably called Rassilon "Raz".
* SanitySlippage
* StartOfDarkness
* [[spoiler:TalkingToThemself]]
* UnreliableNarrator

!!Davros
-->Voiced by: Terry Molloy (2003-present)

Davros first appeared for ADayInTheLimelight in the episode "Davros", and went on to get his own Creator/BigFinish spinoff titled "I, Davros". He also encounters the Doctor in the regular monthly episodes on occasion.

* AndIMustScream: He spent ninety years floating in a space capsule, completely alone, with every second feeling like the worst kind of psychological torture.
* {{Asexuality}}: In addition to being MarriedToTheJob. He gets a lot of ShipTease with co-worker Shan, but Davros claims he just isn't actually wired to fancy anybody.
* BodyHorror: One of the flashbacks in the "Davros" episode details the moments after Davros having narrowly survived a Thal attack, but suffered horrific injuries because of it, including having most of his flesh cooked off.
--> '''Davros:''' ...what ...what is that smell?
--> '''Ral:''' [hesitantly] ...it's ''you'', Davros.
* CreepyMonotone: 16-year-old Davros, heard in "Innocence", almost sounds like a regular inquisitive teenaged boy -- but speaks in a detached and scientific way, with very blunted affect. The result is genuinely creepy.
* EnemyMine: He comes to deeply admire the Sixth Doctor, and considers him the closest thing he's got to a friend. Six does not agree. At all.
* FreakyFridayFlip: Gets into one with Six.
* FreudianExcuse: Invoked: his childhood was a bit screwed up, with his mother being pretty much an {{Expy}} of [[Series/IClaudius Livia]]. Still, it's abundantly clear that he would have become a MadScientist no matter what, and that's he's naturally a sociopath.
* JokerImmunity: PlayedForDrama; Six recognises it as yet another way in which he and Davros are NotSoDifferent.
* LargeHam
* LaughingMad: "The Davros Mission" gives us Davros having a laughing fit, at the idea that anyone would want to save him. It's terrifying.
* LongGame: In "Terror Firma", it's revealed that [[spoiler: he's been tracking the TARDIS]] ever since [[spoiler: "Storm Warning"]].
* LossOfIdentity: During his encounter with Eight.
* MadDoctor: Leads to one ''hell'' of a WhamLine in "Terror Firma":
--> '''Davros:''' I was able to operate --
--> '''Eighth Doctor:''' My TARDIS?
--> '''Davros:''' Operate [[spoiler: ''on'' your TARDIS]].
* MortonsFork: A core element of the "Masters Of War" story is Davros constantly having to choose between two negative outcomes: either give his Daleks some kind of moral compass and compassion and have his entire army be more vulnerable because of it, or create them without morals and inevitably end up betrayed by them. The episode really dives into this idea and explores it from all possible angles.
* MotiveRant: He's infamous for getting in at least one good rant per story. His day in the limelight episode, therefore, begins with one showing his thoughts immediately after receiving his injuries.
* NotSoDifferent: From Six. Davros poses that they might have been friends if they hadn't been enemies. Six does ''not'' agree.
* PsychologicalHorror
* StartOfDarkness: We first get to hear a few flashbacks of his life on Skaro before he became an EvilCripple. After that, the box set "I, Davros" follows his military career starting at age 16, and offers a glimpse into his family circumstances. As it turns out, he was always evil.

!!Morbius
--> Voiced by: Samuel West (2008)

The legendary old Time Lord returns with a vengeance after [[Recap/DoctorWhoS13E5TheBrainOfMorbius his defeat on Karn]], and tries to use the Eighth Doctor's body to restore his own.

* BodyHorror: What he does to poor Straxus.
* TheDreaded: To the point that Eight tries to cross his own timeline to stop Morbius and entire star systems surrender out of fear.
* TheEmperor: Becomes this for thousands of worlds.
* LifeDrinker: He survives by "feeding" on the genes of Straxus.
* [[spoiler: ResetButton]]: He manages to enslave much for the universe [[spoiler: for ten years]], but [[spoiler: the timeline gets reset]].
* [[spoiler: TakingYouWithMe]]: How the Doctor defeats him. [[spoiler:This isn't intentional on the Doctor's part.]]
* VictoryIsBoring: Feels this after years of conquering worlds.

!!The Celestial Toymaker
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/toymaker_3593.png]]
--> Voiced by: David Bailie (2009, 2010)

[[Recap/DoctorWhoS3E7TheCelestialToymaker He's back]] to play more games. Encounters the Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Doctors.

* AbortedArc: His encounter with Six was originally planned for the TV series.
* AdventureGame: Forces Charley to play what is essentially a real life version of ''VideoGame/{{Myst}}''.
* ChronicVillainy
* ExactWords
* TheGMIsACheatingBastard
* ImmortalityHurts: Not that he cares much.
* [[TheNthDoctor The Nth Celestial Toymaker]]
* TricksterArchetype

!!The Monk
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/monk7_455.png]]
-->Voiced by: Graeme Garden (2010-2012)

A fellow rogue Time Lord. The Monk has been keeping busy since his last appearance in the TV series, "improving" history across the universe. And he's started taking on human companions.

* {{Adorkable}}: Has his moments, notably when he calls his TARDIS chameleon circuit his [[Literature/LifeTheUniverseAndEverything "SEP field"]].
* AntiVillain: Starts out as this in Creator/BigFinish, until he crosses the MoralEventHorizon.
* BadHabits
* BigBad: Is this for Series 4 of the New Eighth Doctor Adventures.
* EasilyForgiven: Notably subverted. [[spoiler: Eight can't bring himself to forgive the Monk.]]
* EvilCounterpart: He and the Doctor see ''each other'' as this. They both make frighteningly good points.
* EvilIsNotAToy: Thinking he could work with the Daleks at all.
* GenreBlindness: Working with the Daleks and thinking this will give him an opportunity to help worlds attacked by them. This leads to things getting much worse and [[spoiler: Tamsin dying]].
* GreyAndGreyMorality: Gets into a ''huge'' argument with Eight over whether it's better to directly kill one person and save a thousand, or to let a thousand people die because it's morally wrong to decide over the fate of one. Goes straight into BlackAndGreyMorality in the season 4 finale.
* ImMrFuturePopCultureReference: He goes by "Thelonious".
* KnightTemplar
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Has two: [[spoiler: Lucie]] and [[spoiler: Tamsin]]. Becomes one himself to [[spoiler: the Daleks]].

[[folder:Villains (not originally from the TV series)]]

!!Dr. Elizabeth Klein [Alternate Universe]
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kleinoriginal_514.jpg]]
-->Voiced by: Tracey Childs (2001, 2009-2010)

This Elizabeth Klein is an anomaly of time travel. She comes from an alternate future where the Nazis won the second World War, a future that never happened thanks to her going back into the past to use the Seventh Doctor to figure out how the TARDIS, now in Nazi hands, worked. The Doctor later ran into her in 1950's Kenya and took her aboard the TARDIS. This... [[ApocalypseHow did not turn out well]]. Our own universe has a Klein as well: see the entry under "Companions" for her tropes.

* BadassNormal: One of the few humans to outsmart the Doctor.
* CosmicRetcon: Not only in dealing with her own timeline, but [[spoiler: with what she does to the universe at large after a few jumps in ''her'' TARDIS]].
* DrJerk: ...without many of those PetTheDog moments other examples are known for.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite fully believing the Nazi "master race" rhetoric, Klein herself finds similar actions taken by characters in both "A Thousand Tiny Wings" and "Survival of the Fittest" to be abhorrent.
* FanOfThePast: Well, ''her'' past.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope
* [[LastOfHisKind Last of Her Timeline]]
* RetGone: Inverted, in that her entire original universe is gone, replaced by the "wrong" one: ours. Played straight when [[spoiler: the Doctor's hand is forced, choosing to wipe Klein from ever having existed in order to restore the universe to order. Klein herself ''does'' still exist in some form in our universe -- as a member of UNIT. But still.]]
* TimeyWimeyBall

!!Nimrod
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nimrod_3029.png]]
-->Voiced by: Stephen Chance (2001, 2003, 2010)

A MadScientist encountered by the Sixth and Seventh Doctors at varying points in their respective timelines in "Project: Twilight," "Project: Lazarus" and "Project Destiny". Nimrod was originally Dr. William Abberton, a scientist working for an organization known as the Forge, which was then conducting experiments with DNA in order to create a super-soldier serum. (Not to be confused with the character of the same name from the Seventh Doctor episode "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS26E2GhostLight Ghost Light]]".)

* AutomaticCrossbows: His weapon of choice.
* BadBoss
* BaldOfEvil
* FauxAffablyEvil: Even while he's asking for your help and hoping you'll believe he's turned over a new leaf, he's thinking of all the ways he can KickTheDog once you've outlived your usefulness.
* HollywoodCyborg
* TheHunter: In "Project:Twilight," as his moniker implies.
* IcyBlueEyes
* ImplacableMan: Yeah, you're pretty much not getting away from him if he wants to hunt you down. And it's ''incredibly'' hard to kill him, thanks to his PoweredArmor and [[spoiler:being a vampire]].
* MadDoctor
* MadScientist
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Mad scientist [[spoiler: vampire zombie]] robot [[UpToEleven in a polycarbide armor battle suit]], to be precise.
* [[spoiler: OurVampiresAreDifferent]]
* PoweredArmor
* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: Not too surprising that a guy who calls himself Nimrod has a fondness for naming things around him after Greek mythology. His underlings, such as Artemis and Aristedes, tend to have Greek code names, and the activation of the "Hades Protocol" in "Project: Lazarus" really doesn't sound like anything you'd want to stick around for.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: In "Project: Destiny".

!!Grayvorn
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grayvorn_5904.png]]
-->Voiced by: Creator/AnthonyHead (2002)

The principal villain of the four-part Excelis audio [[NonIndicativeTitle trilogy]], Grayvorn is initially a clever and ambitious (if violent) warlord during his planet's medieval period. He becomes immortal through rather complicated circumstances and proceeds to guide the history of Excelis through its renaissance and ultimately its nuclear destruction. Was encountered by the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Doctors and by Iris Wildthyme, tying into BerniceSummerfield's story arc.

* CrossThrough
* FirstPersonSmartass
* GeniusBruiser: He's violent and boorish when the Fifth Doctor first encounters him, but he is a canny and driven leader.
* GenreBusting: His arc spans SwordAndSorcery, Victorian-era politics and a futuristic {{Dystopia}}.
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: "And only then could I truly say that my mortal mind was lost."
* IHaveManyNames: Three, at least. (Lord Grayvorn, Reeve Maupassant, Lord Vaughan Sutton.)
** Interestingly, the Seventh Doctor takes on "Vaughan Sutton" as an alias in a later unrelated episode, when "John Smith" is taken.
* LargeHam: Oh yes.
* MadDoctor
* MadScientist
* {{Narrator}}: In "Excelis Dawns."
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld
* WhoWantsToLiveForever
* WrongGenreSavvy: He's certain that he's the fearsome villain of a sweeping SwordAndSorcery epic... but he's having a pretty hard time trying to convince everyone else of that. Iris Wildthyme thinks he's a funny old dear who can hold her grocery bags.

!!Colonel Ross Brimmicombe-Wood
-->Voiced by: Creator/DavidTennant (2003, 2005)

A rather shouty soldier who appears in both the UNIT audios and the AlternateUniverse audio "Sympathy For The Devil". In the alternate history, he becomes head of UNIT after TheBrigadier retires. In the UNIT audios, he's a senior UNIT officer who gets kidnapped early on, and [[spoiler: is secretly the leader of ultra-nationalist paramilitary movement ICIS]]. Most notable for being played by Creator/DavidTennant before the TV series was even revived.

* AlternateUniverse: In "Sympathy For The Devil".
* AttemptedRape: [[spoiler: He very briefly considers giving Emily all the attention that he imagines she wanted from him all along. She gives him ''the beating of a lifetime'', with ''his own gun''.]]
* [[spoiler: TheMole]]
* PatrioticFervor: ([[spoiler: The bad kind. He hates UNIT because they work for the UN]])
* ViolentGlaswegian

!!Zagreus
-> ''Zagreus sits inside your head,''
-> ''Zagreus lives among the dead,''
-> ''Zagreus sees you in your bed, ''
-> ''And eats you when you're sleeping.''

-->Voiced by: Creator/PaulMcGann (2003), [[spoiler: Nicholas Courtney]] (2003), [[spoiler: Daphne Ashbrook]] (2004)

Zagreus is just an old Gallifreyan nursery rhyme, so he shouldn't actually logically exist. This doesn't deter him any.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: In the episode "The Next Life", [[spoiler: she tries to get the Doctor to shag her when she's in Perfection's body. The Doctor's suitably disgusted when he realises who she is. Made extra funny by the fact that she's played by Daphne Ashbrook, who played companion Grace Holloway in the Eighth Doctor's debut]].
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: The Eighth Doctor makes a good show of being ObliviousToLove towards Charlotte, and completely ignores her obvious crush on him. Zagreus... doesn't.
--> Did you miss me? Did your little human heart ache when I was gone? Did you have bad thoughts about me in the small dark hours before the dawn?
* BadassBoast: In a direct reference Creator/PaulCornell's "Love And War" and Creator/StevenMoffat's "Literature/ContinuityErrors":
--> Monster, am I? ''Monster''? '''I''' am what the monsters have nightmares about!
* [[spoiler: DragonWithAnAgenda]]: To [[spoiler: Rassilon]].
* EldritchAbomination
* EvilIsHammy
* ForeShadowing: The Sixth Doctor hums the Zagreus rhyme ''two and a half years'' before Zagreus shows up in Creator/BigFinish proper. The rhyme is repeated a few more times before the "Zagreus" episode.
* [[spoiler: GenderBender]]
* HamToHamCombat: With the Eighth Doctor. They share a body and fight for dominance, while they're both coping with extreme SanitySlippage and LossOfIdentity.
* InsaneTrollLogic: When the TARDIS locks Zagreus inside a [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext semi-metaphorical Schrödinger's Cat lead box]], Zagreus tells her that he's dead now, so she'd better let him out. When the TARDIS pointedly remarks that dead people generally don't talk, Zagreus tries to convince her that she's mad for talking back to a dead person, so she'd better let him out.
** To his credit, that ''did'' work for the Doctor in "Shada".
* IronicNurseryRhyme
* [[spoiler: JumpingTheGenderBarrier]]: In "The Next Life", [[spoiler: she's stolen a female body, and realises she can now bear children. Her brains and the Eighth Doctor's beauty.]] Eight has a ''number'' of issues with that statement.
* '''LargeHam''': Both in Eight's body and [[spoiler: as Perfection]].
* LaughingMad
* TheMadHatter: He knows he's insane. He doesn't like it very much, but it's all he has, and he makes the most of it.
* SanitySlippage:
--> Trust me, you don’t want to be mad. I’m not enjoying it one bit.
* SharingABody: With the Eighth Doctor [[spoiler: and the TARDIS]].
* WouldHitAGirl: He hits Charley Pollard in the face. It terrifies her.
* YourMindMakesItReal

!!The Kro'ka
-->Voiced by: Stephen Perring (2004)

A sniveling invisible git from the Divergent universe. Takes an interest in the Eighth Doctor and the TARDIS, while directing the heroes across different habitats and scenarios.

* BizarreAlienBiology: All we ever learn is that he has no neck, no arms and no legs. The Kro'ka promptly kicks the Doctor, who concedes that they can define "legs" as "anything that can kick". Later he says he has only two pairs of hands.
* ButtMonkey: As the Doctor says "Poor old Kro'ka. Everybody's whipping boy!"
* DirtyCoward: [[spoiler:Rassilon]] even says he's not happy unless he's snivelling.
* DiscretionShot: The Doctor eventually forces the Kro'ka to shut off his invisibility. Then tells him to turn it back on, because apparently he looks like "a dog's breakfast".
* TheDragon: To [[spoiler: the Divergence or rather Daqar Keep, who has [[TheAssimilator absorbed them]]]]. And to [[spoiler: Rassilon]].
* DuckSeasonRabbitSeason: The Doctor pulls one on him.
* [[spoiler: FateWorseThanDeath]]: In the end, he's forced to [[spoiler: re-enact "Scherzo" for all eternity]] together with [[spoiler: Rassilon]].
* MindRape
* RailRoading: During the entire Divergent Universe arc, he alone decides where Eight and his companions go.

!!"Robert Knox"
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/knoxasdasd_2047.png]]
-->Voiced by: Leslie Samuel Phillips, CBE (2004, 2008)

A very nasty human who acquired a Type-70 TARDIS, figured out how to fly it, and decided to sell his newfound RealityWarper abilities out to all the dirty old men of the universe. Appears disguised as various {{Historical Domain Character}}s, starting with Dr. Robert Knox.

* [[spoiler: CameBackWrong]]: As of "Assassin In The Limelight".
* FauxAffablyEvil: He can be quite a gentleman, albeit a nasty one.
* HistoricalInJoke: Is especially fond of them, and loves [[ImMrFuturePopCultureReference posing as]] historical characters long before their time.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Becomes the very first adversary in all of ''Series/DoctorWho'' -- [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E1NewEarth but certainly not the last]] -- to be defeated by the power of Creator/DavidTennant's [[spoiler:hugs]].
* RealityWarper: He freely uses his TARDIS to mess with the Web of Time and set up GroundhogDayLoop scenarios.
* [[spoiler: TheUndead]]: In his second appearance.
* VillainTeamUp: He makes a pact with [[spoiler: The Indo]], then promptly regrets it.
* WickedCultured: At heart, he's a man of the arts, specifically theatre.

!!Straxus
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/straxussdfsdf_2274.png]]
--> Voiced by: Nickolas Grace (2007-2008), Peter Miles (2008), Peter Egan (2012), [[spoiler: Toby Jones]] (2012), Oliver Hume (2013)

A Time Lord and member of the Gallifreyan Celestial Intervention Agency, Straxus encounters the Eighth Doctor throughout the New Eighth Doctor Adventures arcs.

* AnachronicOrder: His Oliver Hume regeneration is younger than the ones that appeared earlier.
* AntiVillain
* BlackAndBlackMorality: Time Lords vs. Daleks in "Dark Eyes".
* BodyHorror: He spends [[spoiler: ten years]] as Morbius's bound slave, with Morbius [[spoiler: continuously harvesting cells from him]]. [[spoiler: That timeline gets reset, though]].
* BreakoutCharacter: The original actor had to be fired, and Nickolas Grace was called in at the last moment to fill in. His performance was so well-liked that Straxus kept being written into more and more stories. As one of Creator/NicholasBriggs' favourite characters to write, he got ''significantly'' more CharacterDevelopment than was originally planned, and eventually became a central character in "Dark Eyes".
* CharacterDevelopment: All over "Dark Eyes".
* CrossThrough: Also appears in one BerniceSummerfield episode, "The Adventure of the Diogenes Damsel".
* FantasticRacism: Seems to have shades of this towards Lucie.
* [[spoiler:FutureMeScaresMe]]: Considering [[spoiler: his future self]] is [[spoiler: Kotris]], working together with [[spoiler: the Daleks]] in order to [[spoiler: wipe out all Time Lords from having ever existed]].
* HeelRealisation: [[spoiler: Eventually became so disgusted by Time Lord machinations that when he regenerated he took on the name Krotis, and became a Dalek ally.]]
* [[spoiler: HeroicSuicide]]: [[spoiler: Tries to commit HeroicSuicide fairly early on in "Dark Eyes". His future self, however, has already taken measures to prevent it. The third attempt sticks, though this doesn't seem intentional on his part.]]
* IHatePastMe: To an extreme degree. [[spoiler: Straxus kept all his guilt and self-loathing bottled up. Eventually it got loose when he regenerated. This new incarnation of Straxus was utterly '''disgusted''' by his previous self's actions and Time Lord hyprocisy in general so much that he changed his name to Krotis, and allied himself with the Daleks to wipe them out.]]
* JustFollowingOrders: His specialty. He eventually stops, but it's not exactly a positive development.
* [[TheNthDoctor The Nth Straxus]]
* PetTheDog: His reaction to Lucie [[spoiler:when the Doctor apparently died fighting Morbius.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist

!!The Headhunter
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/headhunter_7225.png]]
--> Voiced by: Katarina Olsson (2007-2009)

Lucie Miller's personal villain, the Headhunter is an opportunist who'll gladly sell her services to the highest bidder. After her initial story arc is over, she takes on Karen as a minion and goes off in search of new adventures. She has a knack for interfering in Lucie's life without either of them particularly wanting it, and becomes a recurring antagonist to Lucie and the Eighth Doctor for three full seasons.

* BadassBureaucrat / BadassBookworm: Is able to fly the TARDIS, ''solo'', by reading the (17 volume) quick start manual. (She arrives [[spoiler: 600 years]] too late, though.)
* ConsummateProfessional
* DeadpanSnarker
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Absolutely refuses to give her real name, even when it could save her life.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor
* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice]]
* TooSpicyForYogSothoth
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Constantly on the verge of dumping Karen, but subverted in the end.

!!Viyrans
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/viyran_2372.jpg]]
--> Played by: various actors (2007-present)

An race created by ancient WellIntentionedExtremist scientists, who created a number of very nasty biological weapons to use in their warfare. Realising that those viruses might end up destroying the universe, they set the Viyrans the goal of wiping them all out again. Every single bit of them. Every single bit of potential of someone, somewhere, ''maybe'' mutating a gene that ''might'' cause them to develop the diseases. And if they can't destroy the virus, they'll gladly murder its carriers. First encounter the Sixth Doctor and Peri, then get mixed up thoroughly in Charley Pollard's life thanks to the Dalek Time Controller, before becoming antagonists to the Eighth Doctor and Molly. Originally showed up to bother Ten and Rose in the short prose story "No One Died".

* AmbiguousRobots: They're all a bit StrawVulcan, and it's clear that they're constructs, but they can also feel pain.
* TheAtoner: Travelling through time and space to destroy the viruses their creators once made.
* BadBoss: To Charley Pollard, eventually, although she's willing to act as a sort of ComicBook/SilverSurfer to them.
* FakeMemories: They have the technology to implant any memory into someone, which Charley gladly makes use of [[spoiler: to remove all memories of herself from Six's mind]].
* PullingThemselvesTogether: After a Viyran treads on a land mine it reforms.
* VoiceChangeling: How they can communicate with people, through AFormYouAreComfortableWith.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Genocide is their answer to a lot of things. The Doctor's companions, particularly Peri and Charley, occasionally manage to convince them otherwise.

!!Nobody No-One
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wordlord_1877.jpg]]
--> Voiced by: Paul Reynolds (2008) & Ian Reddington (2010)

Think of a Time Lord, only one coming from a reality made of words and verb structure rather than space and time. You now have the makings of a Word Lord. This particular one goes by the name of Nobody No-One, and rather likes to be a thorn in the side of the Seventh Doctor. The awkward twist is that his abilities are derived from words uttered or written down. So, for example, if someone were to write "Nobody could stop me from finishing the next sentence," then he would. Come to think of it, adding him to this wiki might be a mista

* AnimeHair: His Paul Reynolds incarnation looks (and acts) like a twisted parody of the Tenth Doctor.
* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: A scary variant, rather than comedy. The Word Lord is ''very'' clever in manipulating people into saying things in his favour.
-->'''Evelyn''': Nobody should have that kind of power.
-->'''Nobody''': Oh! ''Thanks!''
* EvilCounterpart: Invoked on a meta level at first, since he's very much like the Tenth Doctor. Deliberately invoked in-story later on, when he goes around wearing a Fourth Doctor style scarf just for fun.
* ForTheEvulz: Pretty much the only reason Nobody No-One is antagonizing the Doctor. Sure, he's taken a double-job from the Daleks (who want the Doctor's dead body) and Cybermen (who want his brain), but his real reward will be to see the joy the Daleks get from their worst enemy dead at their feet.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Literally. At first he seems harmless. Then you utter something like, say... "Nobody can [[spoiler: kill the Doctor]]". And then he can.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Once you realize the power of language...
* LargeHam: Paul Reynolds plays his Word Lord as a lethal [[Creator/DavidTennant Tenth Doctor]]. It is as awesome and fearful as it sounds. Reddington plays his version of Nobody No-One as a more restrained Word Lord, but occasionally goes over the deep end as well.
* [[spoiler: NobodyDies]]: Thanks to a massive BatmanGambit set up by Seven, Ace and Evelyn.
* TheNthDoctor: His second appearance is a regeneration, forced upon him when [[NoodleIncident he crashed into the 27th letter of the English Alphabet]].
* PsychoForHire: Doesn't much care about the rewards, wanting to hunt down the most dangerous creatures across the Multiverse and takes pleasure in killing, wanting to take Hex despite the small reward.
* RealityWarper: One of the most dangerous villains in all of ''Doctor Who''. The only way the Doctor manages to defeat him at first is by [[spoiler: committing a very real and very permanent HeroicSacrifice]]. Ace manages to outthink him and [[spoiler: bring the Doctor back to life]], although it takes her [[spoiler: well over a year]]. And even when Evelyn [[spoiler: sacrifices her own life]] to rid the universe of him, he gleefully invokes his own JokerImmunity. And all that takes place ''in the same episode''.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Nobody knows how old he is. No, really. But he's not telling.
* RetGone: A walking version of it, should someone be ignorant enough to give him that much power.

!!The Dalek Time Controller
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/timecontrol_3025.jpg]]
--> Voiced by: Creator/NicholasBriggs (2009-present)

A Dalek from the far future, which was created with an evolved mind that allowed it to perceive time in a more advanced manner than a standard Dalek. Consequently, the Dalek time controller was given the position of strategist for all Dalek time missions. Chronologically (from its perspective) first meets the Eleventh Doctor in the BBC novel "The Dalek Generation" and later encounters the Sixth Doctor, before becoming a main antagonist to the Eighth Doctor. In the Eighth Doctor's opinion, this is the most threatening Dalek of them all.

* AmoralAttorney: [[spoiler:In "The Dalek Generation" it spends much of the story acting as the Dalek Litigator, who prosecutes the Doctor for "hate crimes" against the Daleks.]]
* ArchEnemy: Seems to become this for the later Eighth Doctor.
* BigBad: For the "Dark Eyes" series against the Eighth Doctor. Begins a bit earlier with "Lucie Miller" and "To the Death".
** BiggerBad: He's the driving force behind the Daleks in what will become the Last Great Time War.
* TheChessmaster: Throughout most of of "The Dalek Generation".
* ConquerorFromTheFuture: Is hurled back thousands of years and decides to perform another Dalek Invasion of Earth.
** Moreover, his origin in aiding the New Dalek Paradigm makes him implicitly a New Series villain thrown back in time to fight the classic Doctors.
* CrossThrough: His appearance outside of Six's timeline seriously freaks out Eight. To make things more complicated, he's also the main villain in "The Dalek Generation", a novel written by Creator/NicholasBriggs, in which (from his perspective) he meets the Doctor for the first time... and his first Doctor is, via LoopholeAbuse of the story being a BBC Books novel and not a Big Finish audio play, the ''Eleventh'' Doctor whom he meets post Time War (relatively speaking) while working for the [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E3VictoryOfTheDaleks New Dalek Paradigm]].
* EnemyMine: In ''[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoNEDASDarkEyes2E1TheTraitor The Traitor]]'', the Doctor helps him against [[spoiler:the Eminence]].
* {{Expy}}/EvilCounterpart: Seems to be one for Dalek Caan of the New Series, as like Caan he was flung through time and saw all of eternity and every possibility as well as the whole of Dalek history. Unlike Caan who was driven insane with horror at the true evil of the Daleks, the Time Controller instead saw exactly how he could mastermind the Dalek's conquest of all eternity.
** Eight even subtly references this by asking how he could see eternity and not find some humility and perspective, before realising how unlikely a Dalek learning from history would be.
* AGodAmI: In "Dark Eyes 3", he states that he is a '''Time Lord''' Dalek, and that through him, the Daleks will be the new masters of time and space.
* HaveWeMetYet: First meets the 11th Doctor, then the 6th Doctor, then becomes the ArchEnemy of the 8th Doctor.
* JokerImmunity
* TheOmniscient
* PlagueMaster: Plans to annihilate all life in the universe by reusing the Dalek's plan to pilot earth as a mobile base and mass infecting it with the deadliest bio weapons in the universe so the Daleks could simply teleport Earth across the universe spreading the plagues in its wake.
* RippleEffectProofMemory
* TimeyWimeyBall: Their life is largely this, though he was created to master that. From his perspective the first time he meets the Doctor is in the Post Time-War timeline.
* YouHaveFailedMe: Eventually murders [[spoiler: Straxus]], even though doing so completely resets the timeline. Since the Dalek Time Controller has become TheOmniscient at that point, it doesn't matter to him.

!!The Eminence

A FogOfDoom that turns people into zombies. First appear in "The Seeds of War".

* BigBad: Of Dark Eyes 2.
* EnemyMine: The Time Lords foresee a possible future where the Eminence are the only life form in the Universe and hope to work with them to prevent the Daleks ending up as the dominant life form of the Universe.
* GodzillaThreshold: In contrast the Doctor is willing to work with the Dalek Time Controller against them.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: People who inhale the breath of forever from the Eminence are turned into their Infinite Warriors. [[http://www.thetimewarriors.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Times-Horizon-cover.jpg Here is one]].
* TheVirus
