14Villains appearing in ''AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho'', the AudioPlay series based on ''Series/DoctorWho''.

16Please 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.

38[[quoteright:1000:]]
39->'''Voiced by:''' Don Warrington (2002–2004), Conrad Westmaas (2003), Terrence Hardiman (2019), Richard Armitage (2021)
40
41One 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.
42
43
44* 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]].
45** Also to Livia and Mantus. [[spoiler: In "Homecoming" he forces them to lead what is effectively a suicide mission]].
46* BigBad: To the Eighth Doctor up to the end of the Divergent Universe Arc.
47* BigBadFriend: To Omega.
48* CameBackWrong: Speculated by [[spoiler: Livia to Mantus. She says that Rassilon seems 'broken' ever since they resurrected him whilst trying to talk about his obvious SanitySlippage (see below)]].
49* TheChessmaster: Not necessarily the creator of all of the Eighth Doctor's problems in his first series, but certainly involved in them. [[spoiler:(He was the one who transformed the anti-time explosion into Zagreus, for starters)]]
50* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: His reign over Gallifrey during the Time War has people being 'disappeared' and any admission that they existed forbidden.
51* TheDreaded: Is this once he's resurrected to all but Romana. Narvin even says he can barely stand it when he LOOKS at him.
52* EvilutionaryBiologist: The concept of Regeneration was [[spoiler: outright stolen from the Vampires]]. And the reason for the abundance of [[HumanoidAliens bipedal, 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.)
53* EvilOverlord: Used to be one of these. Becomes one AGAIN when he's resurrected in the Gallifrey range and sets about turning the planet into a totalitarian state.
54* FatalFlaw: For the Terrence Hardiman incarnation especially it's arrogance; [[spoiler: he laughs off the idea that the Sicari could actually harm him, and his negligent attitude towards his own security leads to him having to regenerate]].
55* 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. Though, seeing how he appears in the revived series as well as ''Gallfrey: Time War'' onwards, he does manage to escape back to his Tomb at some point]].
56* ForeShadowing: Between "Neverland" and "Zagreus", the episode "Omega" showed us the sheer extent of Rassilon's political manipulation tricks.
57* TheGhost: In "Day of the Master", he gets mentioned in the first part, and his goon squad help cause part of the plot, but he never puts in an appearance.
58* AGodAmI: He has always had an ego but in the Time War he becomes convinced of his own divinity. It leads to some amusing HamToHamCombat with the Dalek Emperor who has a near identical delusion as they each insist that they're the TRUE god of the universe.
59* ItsAllAboutMe: In case naming literally everything after himself wasn't something of a hint, during "Day of the Master" the Eighth Doctor tells Artron that Rassilon would never stand for the idea of anyone else having a path to immortality, even if they weren't going to use it.
60* LaughingMad: Descends into this [[spoiler:when the Sicari mortally would him. He's positively gleeful with excitement at the prospect of regenerating, reminiscing how such assassinations used to be the norm in his day and he's missed the excitement of it all]]. Romana points out he's clearly insane.
61* 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]].
62* PathOfInspiration: Established [[spoiler:the Church of the Foundation in the Divergent Universe]] so they would help him escape it.
63* 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. The idea is a few ''years'' OlderThanTheyThink.
64* SanitySlippage: Don Warrington's incarnation had an ego so big he was willing to rewrite entire universes to accomodate it but he was mostly in control of his actions and able to accurately assess a situation. When brought back as Terrence Hardiman his arrogance has increased to the point of being outright delusional. By the time of Richard Armitage's incarnation he has well and truly gone off the deep end. His own supporters start noticing how out of touch with reality he is and he has a raging god complex on top of it.
65* SelfProclaimedLiar: [[spoiler:Tells C'rizz he is this.]]
66* SoftSpokenSadist: Don Warrington's incarnation.
67* TheresNoKillLikeOverkill: On the receiving end of this when [[spoiler:Romana unleashes the Sicari on him]]. While it doesn't succeed in killing him permanently it does force him to regenerate.
68* TurnTheOtherCheek: He's weirdly okay with Livia [[spoiler:conspiring with Romana to kill him]]; in fact it seems to make her go UP in his esteem since he never believed she had it in her. He even lets her remain in office as his Prime Minister. May be part of a BatmanGambit since the experience leaves her more terrified of him than ever. It also may be because, as Romana notes, he's nuts.
69* WickedCultured: In "The Next Life", he quotes Macbeth.

71
72[[folder: Omega]]
73!!Omega
74->'''Voiced by:''' Ian Collier (2003), Stephen Thorne (2015)
75
76After [[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.
77
78* AffablyEvil: Depending on the state of his sanity, he crosses straight over into FauxAffablyEvil.
79* TheBusCameBack: Still played by Ian Collier and Stephen Thorne!
80* DecoyAntagonist: [[spoiler: Averted. However, the Doctor's initial appearance in "Omega" qualifies as a DecoyProtagonist -- that's Omega's Fifth Doctor split personality instead. The real Doctor doesn't show up until much later.]]
81* EtTuBrute: To Rassilon.
82* 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.]]
83* LargeHam: Hammy as ever.
84* LossOfIdentity: In ''Omega'' [[spoiler:it turns out that he has developed a split personality, with Omega spending some time thinking he's the Doctor and investigating his ''own'' actions]].
85* 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]].
86** Also, he rather adorably called Rassilon "Raz".
87* SanitySlippage: [[StartOfDarkness He started sane]], but descended into madness.
88* StartOfDarkness: We are told how it all began.
89* TalkingToThemself: In ''Omega'' [[spoiler:Omega's "Doctor" persona occasionally believes that he's talking to Omega's spirit, but he's just hallucinating his true persona]].
90* UnreliableNarrator: ''Omega'' features some reflections on Omega's past on Gallifrey, but [[spoiler:it turns out some of his actions have been unintentionally 'mixed in' with memories he acquired from the Doctor, such as his belief that he destroyed an inhabited star to create the Eye of Harmony actually mixed in with the Doctor's guilt over a time he accidentally killed a psychic race of pure thought]].

97[[folder: The Valeyard]]
98!!The Valeyard
99
100->'''Played by:''' Creator/MichaelJayston (2003, 2013, 2015, 2019)
101
102The Doctor's greatest foe, himself, has once again come to haunt the Sixth Doctor. Like a truly dangerous arch-enemy, he doesn't gloat about his plans until it is safe to do so, and thus made few appearances across Big Finish, starting with a ''WhatIf'' scenario. However, he gained a far more involved appearance in [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoSpecialTheLastAdventure "The Last Adventure"]], a SpecialGuest appearance in a Bernice Summerfield story, and a 'variation' of the Valeyard returned in the Time War audio "The War Valeyard" to face the Eighth Doctor.
103
104* ArchEnemy: When the Doctor explains the Valeyard to Bliss, she mentions the phrase "You are your own worst enemy", the Doctor musing that the Valeyard is at least in "the top three" (likely classifying the Master and Davros as the other two).
105* AssimilationPlot: [[spoiler:His grand plan in "The Last Adventure" is essentially trying to use the Matrix to replace every Time Lord with himself. And that does indeed mean ''every'' Time Lord.]]
106* TheBadGuyWins: The entire point behind "He Jests At Scars...", a WhatIf story where the Valeyard succeeded in defeating the Doctor in the Matrix. Unfortunately for him, his new life is wrought with complications, not the least of which is his bad habit of accidentally ''murdering his past selves''.
107* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: He wants the Doctor's regenerations, thus true life, more than anything else. "He Jests At Scars..." has him get that... and then things go horribly, horribly wrong for everyone.
108* BeingEvilSucks: During the Time War, his memory becomes corrupted to the point he thinks he ''is'' the Doctor. He ultimately chooses to stay stuck in a Time Loop rather than having his memory restored, which would make him become his true self.
109* TheChessmaster: Utterly and veritably.
110* CombatPragmatist: The Time Lords argue that they were basically being this by recruiting the Valeyard for the Time War in "The War Valeyard"; they need weapons to win the Time War, and regardless of the Valeyard's past actions, he represents a unique opportunity due to him being just as skilled as the Doctor but lacking his morality.
111* CrazyPrepared: It isn't a plan by the Valeyard if it isn't this.
112* EmotionEater: He drains several people of their darker emotions to death in "The Last Adventure", all to try and weaken the Doctor's mind... and then drains the Doctor of ''his'' darker emotions to further empower himself. Notably, he required a specific piece of technology to do this.
113* EvilGloating: He indulges in this every so often, thoroughly enjoying the chance to gloat and manipulate the Doctor at the same time.
114* EvilIsPetty: [[spoiler:His entire reason behind his scheme in "Trial of the Valeyard", to try and take revenge on the Doctor and kill Inquisitor Darkell for his defeat in the "Trial of a Time Lord" arc.]]
115* EvilerThanThou: He ''really'' doesn't appreciate the Master trying to off the Doctor when he already has a plan to do so, nor trying to step in on his turf. He makes that ''painfully'' clear.
116* FateWorseThanDeath: ''War Valeyard'' [[spoiler:ends with the Valeyard experiencing what would be this for anyone else, trapped in a time loop where he will always fail to destroy the Daleks or save anyone while believing himself to be the Doctor, but he prefers this over the risk of returning to his true identity and nature]].
117* GodzillaThreshold: His near-success in "The Last Adventure" forces the Sixth Doctor to drastic measures, and the fact that the Time Lords decided to risk letting him live as a 'weapon' in "The War Valeyard" says it all about how dangerous the Time War has become.
118* GoneHorriblyRight: "He Jests at Scars" sees the Valeyard get the freedom he wanted, only for his actions to cause serious damage to the Web of Time as he revelled in the ability to do everything the Doctor never would without stopping to really think about ''why'' the Doctor didn't do it beyond his perception of the Doctor being fettered by his morality.
119* GrandTheftMe: This is his goal, given that he is technically the Doctor. [[spoiler:"The Last Adventure" sees him eventually trying this for Time Lord society as a whole]].
120* IHatePastMe:
121** In "Every Dark Thought", the Valeyard dismisses the Doctors as foolish for their past heroics, and all but explicitly states that he fears that a random regeneration would revert him back to a more moral personality.
122** In ''The War Valeyard'' [[spoiler:the Valeyard essentially loses his memory of his 'true' identity and becomes fixated on the idea that ''he'' is the Doctor, refusing to escape his current fate if it will transform him back into his true self]].
123* ImmortalsFearDeath: Not only is the Valeyard apparently unable to regenerate, but he all but admits when confronting Benny that he's concerned that a random regeneration would revert him to a more moral personality similar to the Doctors.
124* ItsPersonal: Given that he's fighting the Doctor, ''everything'' he does tends to be this, particularly if lives are on the line.
125* JokerImmunity: Benny suggests that he has this when she last sees him in a cave system that has just collapsed on itself, musing that since she's certain the Doctor could survive that she's fairly sure that the Valeyard could get out of that situation too.
126* KickTheDog: Oh does he ''enjoy'' doing this, particularly if it makes the Doctor ''suffer''.
127** ShootTheDog: He doesn't shy from this either, particularly if it gets a point across. Poor Ellie found that out the hard way.
128* LouisCypher: He's taken a few names, including [[spoiler:Tim Hope]] and Timothy ''Yardvale''. The [[SarcasmMode subtlety]] of that last one was deliberate, though.
129* MortonsFork: ''The War Valeyard'' [[spoiler:ends with the Valeyard faced with the choice of being trapped in a time loop where he believes he is the Doctor trying to save a doomed world or escaping the loop only to regress back to his true self; he chooses to stay in the loop so that he can at least believe he's the hero rather than become a villain again]].
130* MysteriousBacker: Unlike most villains, he's actually fine with giving the Doctor a hand out of various predicaments... at least until the Doctor walks into the death-trap he just so happened to be led to by escaping the previous predicaments.
131* OldShame: InUniverse, he is this for Gallifrey's justice system after the kangaroo trial he concocted. His trial has virtually everything about the previous trial struck from the record, and Six needs to practically pull teeth to get Inquisitor Darkell to admit anything definite about the Valeyard.
132* PetTheDog: He seems to be capable of some generosity... "seems" being the operative word. Unfortunately, most anything he does has a selfish motive behind it, such as [[spoiler:saving a race named the Nathemus from dying out]] or a girl from being gruesomely killed by a police car. Anyone he takes on, even in a companion role, is practically a hostage for him, as he has no compunctions on dropping them right back into the peril they were once in. Any PetTheDog moment can very swiftly turn into a KickTheDog moment, especially in hindsight.
133* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: He's ''very'' fond of giving these to Six, primarily to bring out more darkness in him.
134* SpotTheImpostor: In "Every Dark Thought", while Benny was initially tricked into helping the Valeyard as he pretended to just be a new incarnation of the Doctor, she soon determined that he wasn't the true Doctor when she realised that he was always putting someone else at risk rather than taking the risk himself.
135* VillainousBreakdown: He suffers a prolonged one in "He Jests At Scars...", when his plans keep backfiring in his face ''and then some''. He comes under another in "The Last Adventure" [[spoiler:when he's trapped in the Matrix with the Sixth Doctor, being deleted and not spared the Doctor's moralizing]].
136* XanatosGambit: A frequent and justified utilizer of the trope. His schemes border along the lines of BatmanGambit, only seceding to this trope because he knows everything the Doctor does, thus he's able to manipulate him [[MindScrew simply by remembering how the Doctor reacted]]. Even when he seems to be defeated, he gets something to his advantage.
137** OutGambitted: That said, while his memory allows him long term manipulation, it doesn't work well in the short term, [[XanatosSpeedChess thus allowing Six to work out and foil his schemes as they hit their climax]]. The Web of Time also makes short work of him in "He Jests At Scars...", which is impressive for "a non-sentient theoretical concept". "The Last Adventure" also seem him completely blind-sided by not expecting [[spoiler:the Sixth Doctor choosing to commit a HeroicSuicide rather than let his AssimilationPlot succeed]].

145!!Morbius
146-> '''Voiced by:''' Samuel West (2008, 2024)
147
148The 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.
149
150* BodyHorror: What he does to poor Straxus.
151* TheDreaded: To the point that Eight tries to cross his own timeline to stop Morbius and entire star systems surrender out of fear.
152** It's implied the Time Lords do this, too, just to be sure.
153* TheEmperor: Becomes this for thousands of worlds.
154* LifeDrinker: He survives by "feeding" on the genes of Straxus.
155* ResetButton: He manages to enslave much for the universe [[spoiler: for ten years]], but [[spoiler: the timeline gets reset]].
156* TakingYouWithMe: How the Doctor defeats him. [[spoiler:This isn't intentional on the Doctor's part.]]
157* VictoryIsBoring: Feels this after years of conquering worlds.

161!!The Celestial Toymaker
162[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/toymaker_3593.png]]
163-> '''Voiced by:''' David Bailie (2009, 2010)
164
165[[Recap/DoctorWhoS3E7TheCelestialToymaker He's back]] to play more games. Encounters the Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Doctors.
166
167* AbortedArc: His encounter with Six was originally planned for the TV series.
168* AdventureGame: Forces Charley to play what is essentially a real life version of ''VideoGame/{{Myst}}''.
169* ChronicVillainy: Even when it would be in his better interests to play nice, he still feels the need to antagonize those playing his games.
170* CuriosityIsACrapshoot: He can't help but want to try out new games he comes across. The game he's playing against Charley is a new one, [[spoiler:and Charley figures out that he'd want to try playing it first, even though he's not aware of it]].
171* ExactWords: The right ''word'', in fact, much to Charley's frustration.
172** Charley gets one right back at him; she's in a game where the player doesn't know they're playing. [[spoiler:[[ArmorPiercingQuestion So which of them thinks they're playing the game?]]]]
173* TheGMIsACheatingBastard: He can add rules in the middle of any game currently playing, and can even withhold rules entirely, making them exceedingly unfair against players. That said, he doesn't make rules that contradict old ones, and he outright states that cheating takes the edge out of the game and doesn't make it satisfying.
174** This makes a rather interesting form of PowerIncontinence in "Solitaire"; the moment that he assumes Charley has lost her game, he claims the game is over and that he has won... only for it to seemingly go out of his control, refusing to end at his command. [[spoiler:What he didn't realize was that ''he'' was the one playing]].
175* HoistByHisOwnPetard: "Solitaire" is seemingly an aversion, as he doesn't care if Charley loses the game and the entire shop crushes them; he's immortal, after all, and will just come back with a new face. [[spoiler:It's played straight by the end, as Charley escapes in the TARDIS ''and'' the Toymaker loses the game.]]
176* ImmortalityHurts: Not that he cares much.
177* SoreLoser: His encounter with Charley could have gone ''so'' much better for him if he just accepted her solution. He also takes his time to make some games on the others in "The Magic Mousetrap" that have a very grudge-filled tone to them.
178* TheBadGuyWins: He gets some small but notable victories here and there - "The Magic Mousetrap" has him only locked by way of a stalemate, with the plot against him failing completely. "Solitaire" even starts with him having defeated the Eighth Doctor in an unspecified game.
179* TheNthDoctor: The Nth Celestial Toymaker: When he becomes bored with his current visage, he simply takes a new one, rather like regeneration.
180* TimeAbyss: He predates even Time Lord records, and they're scared of him. The Doctor realises this is why he's obsessed with games - he got tired of endless aeons of boredom, followed by endless aeons of creation, then of destruction. So now he appreciates chance and games.
181* TheTrickster: In spades, although he has a very cruel edge about him too.
182* WorldLimitedToThePlot: His toy shop; attempts to leave or usurp it tend to go very, ''very'' wrong.

192[[caption-width-right:194: "''When it comes to meddling with time there’s [[{{Pun}} Nun]] better then me. I’m back and this time I’m definitely no Monk!''"]]
193
194->'''Voiced by:''' Graeme Garden (2010–2011; 2015), Rufus Hound (2017-Present), Gemma Whelan (2021)
195
196A 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.
197----
198* ALessonLearnedTooWell: [[spoiler:By the time of ''Dalek Universe'', the Nun is terrified of what the Doctor will do to her if he catches up with her, either once again sticking her on a frozen tundra or reporting her to the Time Lords, which is why she rather unwisely tries to escape in her TARDIS in the chaos of Sheldrake's ill-fated attempt to activate the time tunnels rather than let him get too close or staying to help.]]
199* AscendedFanon: InUniverse. For a long time the "Meddling Monk" was just a fan nickname, until Big Finish made it official with "Doom Coalition 4", as Rufus Hound is listed in the credits as the Meddling Monk.
200* AesopAmnesia: Working with the Daleks led to Lucie and Tamsin getting killed, but any lesson the Monk learned from that are forgotten in "Doom Coalition 4" where [[spoiler: he makes an arrangement with the Weeping Angels on behalf of the Time Lord, which of course goes horribly wrong as soon as they get a better deal.]]
201** Of course, it may be that "To the Death" takes place ''after'' "Doom Coalition 4" for the Monk, so he actually forgot those lessons for the more justifiable reason of post-regenerative amnesia.
202* AmbiguousSituation: It's not entirely clear where the Rufus Hound incarnation fits into the Monk's timeline. Given his words when he reunites with Eight in "Doom Coalition 4": "If any past or future me has done anything to upset you..." and his bewilderment to exactly why Eight hates him so much, might mean that this incarnation is before the one seen in Series Four of the New Eighth Doctor Adventures.
203** He's shown referring to 'brassy birds from Blackpool' when he meets the Third Doctor in "The Rise of the New Humans", which could be a deliberate reference to Lucie Miller or just a coincidental turn of phrase that he thought sounded good.
204** The Nun admits that she is not really sure which number incarnation of the Monk she is supposed to be. By this point, both her and her past incarnations (and persumably some future ones), have messed so much around with both their own personal timeline and the universe's at large, that large portions of it have effectively been lost in the mess.
205* AntiVillain: Starts out as this until he crosses the MoralEventHorizon.
206* BadHabits: Has a knack for disguising himself as priests or monks. In "Doom Coalition 4" he's known to the people of New York as televangelist Rev. Mortimer who has quite a lot of pull in the city for a man of the cloth.
207* BigBad: Is this for Series 4 of the New Eighth Doctor Adventures, [[spoiler: only to become a BigBadWannabe when the Dalek Time Controller shows up.]]
208* BigBadWannabe: Inverted from the Monk's perspective; he considers himself a hero who is prevented from doing things the way he wants to because of the Doctor and those who enforce the Laws of Time, but his fixation on revenge against the Doctor undermines any good intentions he might have, [[spoiler:and even his former allies soon recognise that letting him 'help' just makes things worse]].
209* BigFun: His new regeneration in "Doom Coalition".
210* BookDumb: Sort of. While he's still a Time Lord, with all the technical expertise that entails, he fixates on specific ideas or concepts and doesn't really bother to study more outside his ImMrFuturePopCultureReference antics, and it's implied he generally knows less of the Laws of Time than others of his generation. Missy chides him for this, and the Third Doctor gets pissed that he doesn't have a proper laboratory on his TARDIS (but does have a top-of-the-line cinema and several kitchens).
211* BreakoutVillain: Is to the RoguesGallery what the Eighth Doctor is to the main cast. ''Big Finish'' turned The Meddling Monk from essentially just an early prototype for the Master to a fully fleshed out character in his own right, continuing to make appearences bedeviling the Doctor's various incarnations to this day.
212* TheBusCameBack: After the New Eighth Doctor Adventures finale he comes back in Doom Coalition 4 in a new regeneration (although it could be the other way around from ''his'' perspective).
213* BrainInAJar: Temporarily becomes this courtesy of Missy. To add to the indignity, she doesn't even use a jar, she uses a handbag.
214* ButtMonkey: Gets reduced to this whenever Missy turns up.
215* DidntThinkThisThrough: Quite a few of the Monk's plans suffer from this;
216** His "alliance" with the Daleks in the Eighth Doctor's era was based on the idea that the Daleks would keep to a deal where the Monk would give them access to a dangerous virus and in return the Daleks would let him take humanity's treasures for himself. [[spoiler:His companion rejects him the moment she learns what he's done, and the Daleks destroy his collection as soon as the Monk's presence doesn't benefit them any more]].
217** In "The Outlaws", his current plan involves trying to destabilise the English forces in Lincolnshire with the aid of a group of outlaws. The Monk's final plan is to set himself up as an advisor to King Louis of France when he takes power... but he admits to the Doctor that he hasn't even introduced himself to King Louis yet.
218* DirtyCoward: Both male incarnations, but while Garden Monk's cowardice was tempered with his regret the "Rev. Mortimer" incarnation is really pathetic in his selfishness.
219* EasilyForgiven: Notably subverted. [[spoiler: Eight can't bring himself to forgive the Monk.]]
220** [[spoiler: By the time of ''Dalek Universe'' the Tenth Doctor has softened a bit. He's still very frustrated at the female incarnation's actions, but he's so desperate for other Time Lords he'll take anyone and is legitimately heartbroken when the newly-titled Nun gets herself lost in the vortex because she thought the Doctor was lying about the dangers of flying her TARDIS]].
221* EvilCounterpart: He and the Doctor see ''each other'' as this. They both make frighteningly good points.
222** To wit, In ''Genesis of the Daleks'', [[HitlersTimeTravelExemptionAct the Fourth Doctor famously asked Sarah Jane that, if she knew that a child would grow up to be a brutal and murderous dictator, would she kill that child]]? The Monk has no such qualms, in fact he doesn't kill a child who would grow up to be a dictator, he '''causes an avalanche to kill his parents so he would never be born'''. Notably this causes [[spoiler: Lucie Miller who was travelling with him to have a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment, and to break off their association.]]
223* EvilIsNotAToy: Thinking he could work with the Daleks at all. [[spoiler: And later the Weeping Angels.]]
224* EvilIsPetty: Even by the Monk's standards, his motives in "The Outlaws" are pathetic, as he's trying to arrange for King Louis to take the throne. His reason for doing this is because King Richard drove him out of court when the Monk tried to set himself up as an advisor, and he doesn't want King John or any of Richard's family to keep the throne.
225* FriendlyEnemy: Towards the Eighth Doctor, even after what happened to Tasmin, Lucie, and Alex. The Doctor treats him with nothing but contempt.
226* GenderBender: When forced to work with Missy, he meets his future incarnation, who's gleefully adopted the moniker of the Meddling Nun. Unlike the Doctor, who's perfectly used to meeting other regenerations, the Monk is fairly disturbed by this. The Nun doesn't share his concerns, pointing out he's a time meddler and stuff like it should be right up his alley.
227* GenreBlindness: Working with the Daleks and thinking this will give him an opportunity to help worlds attacked by them (or at least steal their historical treasures for his own later profit). This leads to things getting much worse and [[spoiler: Tamsin dying]].
228* 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 when he [[spoiler:allies with the Daleks as part of a revenge scheme]].
229* HijackedByGanon: [[spoiler:By the Daleks. The Nun is at the opposite end of this later to George Sheldrake.]]
230* HumiliationConga: Every time he tangles with Missy, he gets the short end of the stick. First, in "Divorced, Beheaded, Regenerated" he once again gets stuck with a nonfunctional TARDIS and a TorchesAndPitchforks mob baying for his blood outside; when he tries taking revenge, she bamboozles the [[DumbMuscle Ogrons]] into thinking ''he's'' the Master in "Too Many Masters", and the third time, she [[BrainInAJar shoves his brain into a handbag]] in a bid to steal his TARDIS.
231* HypocriticalHumour: He claims to hate being referred to as the Monk. In "Divorced, Beheaded, Regenerated" he later proudly proclaimed himself as ''The Meddling Monk'' in a moment of gloating. [[spoiler:By ''Dalek Universe'' the female incarnation considers 'the Monk' her name to the extent that she muses that the Doctor can call her 'the Nun']].
232* ImMrFuturePopCultureReference: He goes by "Thelonious".
233* ImpersonationGambit: [[spoiler:In ''Dalek Universe'', the Nun captures the Tenth Doctor, and using a psychic shroud to impersonate him, pretends to die and regenerate into her usual appearance.]]
234* KickTheDog: [[spoiler: During the Nun's impersonation of the Tenth Doctor, she spites him by insulting and demeaning Anya Kingdom, who's desperate to make amends with him.]]
235* KnightTemplar
236* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Has two: [[spoiler: Lucie and Tamsin]]. Becomes one himself [[spoiler:to the Daleks]].
237* [[TheNthDoctor The Nth Monk]]: He's regenerated since the Doctor last saw him.
238* NeverMyFault: Used to great extent [[spoiler:in the ''Locum Doctors'' trilogy, as the Monk tries to erase the Doctor from history because he blames the Doctor for the death of Tamsin Drew, a companion he "stole" from the Doctor who was killed by the Daleks. This completely ignores the fact that Tamsin died because the Monk prevented the Doctor from stopping the Daleks' conquest of Earth]].
239* RunningGag: People keep ransacking his TARDIS. So far, this has included the Doctor, Missy, Liz Shaw, and George Sheldrake. He tried to get aroud this by fiddling with the controls to make sure they would only respond to him, but Missy, in trying to force the TARDIS to obey her, only managed to include herself in the "necessary pilots" list - without removing the Monk.
240* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: He never stays for the denouement and refuses to stay to help clean up the messes he makes; at least once the Doctor had to disable his ship so that he'd have time to come up with a cure for the virus the Monk had unleashed.
241* SkewedPriorities: In "The Outlaws", the Monk actually ''complains'' when the Doctor reveals that he's persuaded the local sheriff that the Monk is just a harmless idiot who ended up with the outlaws by accident. While the Monk ''was'' their leader, the Doctor has persuaded the sheriff otherwise because Dodo doesn't want the Monk to face execution if he was found to be legitimately aiding the outlaws.
242* TechnologicallyAdvancedFoe: His TARDIS is several models newer than the Doctor's - it's even versatile enough to disguise itself as a ''book''. The Monk tries to abuse this and his origins as a Time Lord to do as he pleases, but it rarely works out due to his terrible planning and cowardice.
243* TeethClenchedTeamwork: At one point, Missy captured him and gave him the BrainInAJar treatment to usurp his TARDIS. Unfortunately for her, the procedure linked them both to said TARDIS, making it unable to move without both parties' cooperation.
244* ThirdLawOfGenderBending: The (so far) only known female incarnation of the Monk have chosen to change her moniker to "The Nun", embraced female pronouns, and have changed her clothing style to match her new name.
245* TimeyWimeyBall: By the time [[spoiler:the Monk becomes the Nun]], the Monk’s timeline has become so complicated that this incarnation notes that they’ve basically erased parts of their own lives with their time meddling, making it hard for them to be sure which of their incarnations came before or after the others or even what order they experienced certain events in.
246* TooCleverByHalf: Likes to work up byzantine plans without considering why they're so impractical or the consequences.
247* UnreliableNarrator: Whether because he genuinely believes this view or is just using it to convince others to side with him, the Monk often attempts to win his allies over to his point of view by presenting the Doctor as "evil" for allowing historical disasters to unfold as they should where the Monk is willing to change things. If nothing else, this ignores the Doctor's argument that these historical events have to happen now so that people can grow and improve on their own later.
248* VillainousBreakdown: The Rufus Hound incarnation is prone to this. His stories usually end with him screaming bloody vengeance against the Doctor (or in one case Missy).
249* WellIntentionedExtremist: Sees himself as this, and uses it to justify his actions. Entirely PlayedForDrama.
250* WetwareCPU: During his BrainInAJar phase in "Body and Soulless" Missy passes him off as a battle computer. He proves surprisingly good at his role.

253[[folder: The Rani]]
254!!The Rani
255[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/siobhan-redmond-rani_4349.jpg]]
256->'''Voiced by:''' Siobhan Redmond (2014–2015)
257
258Rogue Time Lady and scientist supreme, the Rani has regenerated since her last appearance on television (due to Creator/KateOMara's death). And turned Scottish.
259
260* AntagonistTitle: Stories involving her have her name in the title.
261* BlueAndOrangeMorality: The Rani is... odd with her morals. On the one hand, she's clearly in for her own benefit and doesn't weigh her soul with the suffering of others from her own actions. On the other, she doesn't maim or kill for the sake of it and will help others if they're in danger, even pulling the Doctor from a stampede when she was under no obligation to do so. However, this is closer to simply keeping around potentially useful resources as opposed to true altruism.
262* ButterflyOfDoom: Seeks to master it, creating a machine that could allow her to predict what actions she would need to take to achieve the metaphorical hurricane where she wants it.
263* CallBack:
264** A rather interesting example. Though her plan in "The Rani Elite" is an evolution [[Recap/DoctorWhoS24E1TimeAndTheRani of one she already attempted]], the story was originally meant for her previous incarnation, making it something of a call ''forward'' as well.
265** Remember [[Recap/DoctorWhoS22E3TheMarkOfTheRani the time that she caused her population to be unable to sleep]]? Turns out that was simply part of a larger experiment, and when she failed to return... well, [[FromBadToWorse let's just say things didn't go well for the population]].
266* CrazyPrepared: She never throws anything out lest it be useful, has isomorphic systems on her equipment to prevent enemies from using it against her, and [[spoiler:has ''two'' [=TARDISes=]]]. That said, she doesn't leave a lot of room for error, meaning even small deviations in her plans can prove to be huge set-backs.
267* EmperorScientist: The things the Rani does to her subjects seem to be in the name of scientific development. She seems to believe that it's for their benefit, even when it's simply for her own interests.
268* EvilCannotComprehendGood: She really cannot understand why the Doctor acts as he does, and thinks that he's ''jealous'' of her being able to rule a planet. It's also a case of her not understanding her own evil either, as she doesn't see why her people wouldn't want to have her back without mind control.
269* EvilGloating: Unlike most villains, the Rani stops at merely gloating her plan is past the point it can be stopped, only giving details to the heroes when it's somewhat pertinent to do so. She's rather pragmatic that way.
270* EvilIsPetty: Whooboy, does the Rani have a revenge streak. This incarnation's plans tend to involve the Doctor in some way as a component in a machine of hers, and never in a good position. The Doctor even comments that her spite is a trait that hasn't changed from her former selves, [[FatalFlaw and it does her in every time]]. Perhaps taken to its height in "Planet of the Rani", where [[spoiler:she attempts to stab to death an immensely powerful being who took over her rule... and yet was letting her ''go free'' despite her previous actions having done serious damage to the planet's population]].
271* EvilMatriarch: She ''really'' didn't leave a good impression on her subjects, even before she failed to return for sixteen years. She doesn't care for the peoples' opinions either, seeing the net benefit she has given them and dismissing the issues she causes in turn.
272* LackOfEmpathy: She has no idea how others really feel, nor care; that isn't to say she finds other life having no value, but it's a very skewed and high handed set of values. She simply thinks with logic and how things better herself.
273** She has one, ''very'' brief moment of quiet remorse in "Planet Of The Rani", when [[spoiler:she believes her greatest creation has died]]. She quickly gets over it by affirming [[spoiler:him as a failed experiment]].
274* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: To a T, although she's hardly limited to biological sciences.
275* MoralSociopathy: As ever, although it's particularly ironic in "The Rani Elite", given she's acting as a Professor of ''Morality''.
276* {{Pride}}: She states, under no uncertain circumstances, that she'd ''never'' consider using a TARDIS as old as the Doctor's. It's also implied this is why she takes her defeats so personally.
277* RevengeByProxy: In a sense; though the Doctor foils her in "The Rani Elite", she still takes some solace in that [[Recap/DoctorWhoS24E1TimeAndTheRani she gets to kill this Doctor at least]].
278* ThatWomanIsDead: The Doctor calls her "Ushas", her old name back on Gallifrey. She's not happy with it.
279* TheUnfettered: She isn't too bothered when she gets a Doctor earlier than the one she last encountered, despite how it would alter her timeline in relation to his. Given how that last encounter went though...
280* XanatosSpeedChess: She's not a bad player at this when a plan is getting away from her. However, her track record shows she's better off when she has time to get things in motion.
281[[/folder]]
282
283[[folder:Madame Kovarian]]
284->'''Voiced by:''' Frances Barber (2018)
285
286The head of a renegade chapter of the Church of the Papal Mainframe, Madame Kovarian is still consumed by her desire to kill the Doctor to prevent the Siege of Trenzalore. To this end, she attempts to kill the Fifth Doctor using a new ‘generation’ of clones of River.
287
288* AbusiveParents: River explicitly calls Kovarian out on her attempt to raise a new generation of ‘clones’ from River’s DNA to be assassins even when she should realise that the original plan to kill the Doctor has failed.
289* CallingTheOldManOut: River takes every opportunity to criticise how she raised ‘Melody Pond’, to say nothing of how Kovarian continues to abuse the rest of the proto-Time Lords she has created.
290* EntitledBastard: By the time her plans have shifted their focus to killing the Fifth Doctor, Kovarian has convinced herself that she is the universe’s saviour even as a fleet of ships are tracking her as the apparent source of a current reality-destroying temporal paradox that must have been the result of the Fifth Doctor’s death.
291* FateWorseThanDeath: When last seen, [[spoiler:Kovarian is being tortured by the remaining clones of River, essentially "betrayed" by the only followers she had left]].
292* InsaneTrollLogic: Kovarian's goal in trying to kill the Eleventh Doctor was to stop him travelling to Trenzalore and thus having an opportunity to restart the Time War. She becomes so warped in her belief that she has to kill the Doctor to save the universe that she goes back along his timeline to try and kill the ''Fifth'' Doctor... in other words, to stop the Doctor from ''re''starting the Time War, she killed him before he could even ''stop'' it in the first place (to say nothing of the worlds that will now die without him to save them).
293* ItsAllAboutMe: Kovarian is so consumed by her vendetta against the Doctor that she has convinced herself that killing the Fifth Doctor is justified to stop the risk of the Eleventh’s alleged destruction, ignoring all the worlds that will die without the intervening Doctors to save them and dismissing them as a ‘lesser sacrifice’ to what would happen if the Doctor was left alive.
294* MovingTheGoalposts: Even after the apparent death of the Doctor, Kovarian refuses to let the remaining proto-Time Lords out into the universe, still talking as though there are more missions even though the primary mission was to kill the Doctor and she believes that has already been accomplished.
295* NeverMyFault: Kovarian is completely unable to acknowledge that the Doctor is the true saviour of the universe, insisting that she is the one who saved the universe even as a fleet of ships start tracking her vessel as the source of a reality-destroying paradox after she apparently killed the Fifth Doctor.
296* RenegadeSplinterFaction: Acknowledges that she was excommunicated from the Church of the Papal Mainframe, but seems to have convinced herself that she will be invited back after successfully killing the Doctor (ignoring how reality has already started to collapse without him there to save the universe from his fifth body onwards).
297* TimeyWimeyBall: She has sent assassins after the Fifth Doctor after her plans to kill the Eleventh failed.

301In addition to the returning villains from the TV series, Creator/BigFinish adds many new ones as well.

305[[foldercontrol]]
306
307[[folder: Vansell]]
308!!Coordinator Vansellostophossius
309->'''Voiced by:''' Anthony Keetch (1999–2011)
310
311Coordinator Vansellostophossius is the head of the Celestial Intervention Agency of Gallifrey. An old Academy classmate and rival of the Doctor. He's eventually succeeded by Coordinator Narvinectralonum (see [[Characters/{{Gallifrey}} here]]). Vansell also appears in several alternate universes, including in "He Jests At Scars..." and in a few alternate versions of Gallifrey seen in season 4 of ''AudioPlay/{{Gallifrey}}''.
312
313* DragonWithAnAgenda: To Romana. His goal is to [[spoiler: restore Rassilon to Gallifrey]].
314* EmbarrassingNickname: When they were kids, the Doctor knew him as "Nosebung".
315* JustFollowingOrders: He'll do anything to keep Gallifrey safe, but independent thinking isn't his strong suit. Alternate versions of him on various Gallifreys aren't much better.
316[[/folder]]
317
318[[folder: Dr. Elizabeth Klein]]
319!!Dr. Elizabeth Klein [Alternate Universe]
320[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kleinoriginal_514.jpg]]
321->'''Voiced by:''' Tracey Childs (2001, 2009–2010)
322
323This 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 1950s 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 Characters/BigFinishDoctorWhoCompanions for her tropes.
324
325* BadassNormal: One of the few humans to outsmart the Doctor.
326* 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]].
327* DrJerk: ... Without many of those PetTheDog moments other examples are known for.
328* 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.
329** She also openly condemns the actions of individuals like Josef Mengele.
330* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Klein is incapable of acknowledging that the Doctor's actions erased her timeline because it wasn't meant to happen, apparently believing that he changed history just because he doesn't approve of the Reich rather than accepting his insistence that his actions just changed history ''back''.
331* FanOfThePast: Well, ''her'' past.
332* {{Foil}}: After Klein changes history to recreate a version of her timeline, she basically takes on the Doctor's role in defending Earth, but it soon becomes clear that her role is only superficially similar to the Doctor. Where the Doctor just drops in to assist Earth against exceptional threats but lets humanity stand on its own, Klein is an 'official' employee of the Reich who acts to protect it from any threat by going back in time to stop any major attack. As a result, this Earth is basically dependent on Klein to maintain its empire, where the Doctor has allies like UNIT, Torchwood and Sarah Jane to protect humanity in his absence and leaves them to solve 'local' problems on their own.
333* {{Hypocrite}}: She accuses the Doctor of being 'blinkered' by his own view of how history should be when she continually ignores his attempts to explain that he just restored the true timeline when he erased her world from history just because she doesn't accept that perspective.
334* ItsAllAboutMe: Even after spending time travelling with the Seventh Doctor, Klein remains convinced that her timeline is the correct one.
335* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope
336* LastOfHerKind: As a result of the actions of an alternate Eighth Doctor, she is the only survivor of her timeline.
337* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: Downplayed and justified. She displays extensive medical knowledge in "A Thousand Tiny Wings" despite, as the Doctor notes, she was someone who had been working on time travel so her Doctorate would presumably have been in physics. She explains that she requalified since they first met and she has had roughly a decade to do so.
338* 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.]]
339* TimeyWimeyBall

341
342[[folder: Nimrod]]
343!!William Abberton aka Nimrod
344[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nimrod_3029.png]]
345->'''Voiced by:''' Rupert Booth (2001), Stephen Chance (2001, 2003, 2010)
346
347A MadScientist encountered by the Sixth and Seventh Doctors at varying points in their respective timelines in "Project: Twilight," "Project: Lazarus", "Project: Destiny" and "Twilight's End". Also starred in the CharacterFocus novel "Project: Valhalla". Nimrod was originally Sir 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]]".)
348
349* AutomaticCrossbows: His weapon of choice.
350* BadBoss
351* BaldOfEvil: He's notably one of the ''very'' few Big Finish characters not portrayed as their voice actor. Stephen Chance is a small, kind man who really couldn't pass for an evil genius in the promotional pictures, so Big Finish chose to use photographs of an (unknown) different actor to present as the character.
352* {{Cyborg}}
353* 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.
354* IcyBlueEyes
355* 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 PoweredArmour and [[spoiler:being a vampire]].
356* MadDoctor
357* MadScientist
358* NiceJobFixingItVillain: In ''Project: Destiny'', [[spoiler:Captain Lysandre Aristedes was originally a strong supporter of Nimrod who saw the Doctor as basically a terrorist, but Nimrod proves which of them is the true monster when the Doctor creates a cure for a mutating plague and Nimrod freely admits that he modified the cure to just kill those infected rather than return them to their human state]].
359* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Mad scientist [[spoiler: vampire zombie]] robot in a polycarbide armour battle suit, to be precise.
360* [[spoiler: OurVampiresAreDifferent]]
361* PoweredArmour
362* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: The Forge has a fondness for naming things around him after mythology. His underlings, such as Artemis, tend to have code names based on this, and the activation of the "Hades Protocol" in "Project: Lazarus" really doesn't sound like anything you'd want to stick around for.
363* VillainWithGoodPublicity: In "Project: Destiny".

365
366[[folder: Grayvorn]]
367!!Grayvorn
368[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grayvorn_5904.png]]
369->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AnthonyHead (2002)
370
371The 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 Franchise/IrisWildthyme, tying into Franchise/BerniceSummerfield's story arc.
372
373* CrossThrough
374* FirstPersonSmartass
375* GeniusBruiser: He's violent and boorish when the Fifth Doctor first encounters him, but he is a canny and driven leader.
376* GenreBusting: His arc spans SwordAndSorcery, Victorian-era politics and a futuristic {{Dystopia}}.
377* GoMadFromTheRevelation: "And only then could I truly say that my mortal mind was lost."
378* IHaveManyNames: Three, at least. (Lord Grayvorn, Reeve Maupassant, Lord Vaughan Sutton.)
379** Interestingly, the Seventh Doctor takes on "Vaughan Sutton" as an alias in a later unrelated episode, when "John Smith" is taken.
380* IgnorantOfTheirOwnIgnorance: When he meets the Sixth Doctor, 'Maupassant' initially assumes that the Fifth Doctor 'just' transferred his mind into another person; by the time he meets the Seventh Doctor, 'Sutton' now understands that the Doctor actually changed his body on a cellular level.
381* LargeHam: Oh yes.
382* MadDoctor: Has become this by the time of "Excelis Decays", as he is now a geneticist for the ruling political party.
383* MadScientist: See above.
384* MotiveDecay: After "Excelis Dawns", Grayvorn's self-proclaimed goal was to become leader of Artaris so that he could avert the devastated future he saw when Iris accidentally took him into his planet's future; by the time of "Excelis Decays", 'Sutton' has become so consumed by his own desire for power [[spoiler:that he actually ''causes'' that devastation when the Doctor prevents his plans for global conquest]].
385* {{Narrator}}: In "Excelis Dawns."
386* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Based on available information, he was around thirteen hundred years old by the time he died for good (assuming that the time he spent as a discorporate intelligence trapped in a building counts).
387* WhoWantsToLiveForever
388* 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.

391[[folder: Colonel Ross Brimmicombe-Wood]]
392!!Colonel Ross Brimmicombe-Wood
393->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DavidTennant (2003, 2005)
394
395A 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.
396
397* AlternateUniverse: In "Sympathy for the Devil".
398* 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''.]]
399* TheMole
400* PatrioticFervour: The bad kind. [[spoiler:He hates UNIT because they work for the UN.]]
401* ViolentGlaswegian

404[[folder: Death]]
405!!Death
406-> '''Voiced by:''' Charlie Hayes (2003, 2012)
407
408-> '''Death:''' I've got to go. There's a little girl in the crowd... trouble is she doesn't know she's got a severe nut allergy, and the little cherub's about to bite into some flapckjack. It's going to be messy.
409-> '''Seventh Doctor:''' Must you enjoy your job so much?
410-> '''Death:''' It's what I am.
411
412A "non-corporeal universal concept" of Death in female form who creates Death wherever she goes. She has a special relationship with her "champion" the Master, and a adversarial one with the Seventh Doctor.
413
414* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Or "non-corporeal universal concept" in this case, maybe. The Doctor isn't quite sure what she is.
415* TheButlerDidIt: [[spoiler: Disguised as a maidservant in "Master", she was the one who caused all the havoc.]]
416* CelestialBureaucracy: [[spoiler: Notes that she was forced to abandon her plans to make the Doctor her champion because "others" had plans for him.]]
417* DeadpanSnarker: Snarks at the Doctor and Master constantly.
418* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler:Was forced to make one with the Doctor so he and the Master would switch places. Later on she makes them just to screw around with the Doctor.]]
419* FauxAffablyEvil: She has a very cheerful manner, but she loves to kill people and is quick to mock the Doctor for his inability to kill.
420* GrimReaper: A malevolent one - she loves to kill indiscriminately wherever she goes.
421* IShallTauntYou: Mocks the Doctor that his deals with her always blow up in his face - someone will die.
422* JerkassGod: The Virgin New Adventures novels state that she's an Eternal.
423* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:When she disguised herself as John Smith's maid she took the name Jade - aka the colour of death.]]
424* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: [[spoiler:Made the Master human as part of a deal with the Doctor. When he turned out to be a kindly doctor, Death did her best to induce darkness in his heart, so that he'd kill again.]]
425* XanatosGambit: She doesn't really care who dies as long as ''someone'' dies. And since death is universal, she'll always win.
426* YouCantFightFate: Mocks the Doctor's futile events to save everyone because as she notes everyone will eventually die in the end.

430!!Zagreus
431->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/PaulMcGann (2003), Creator/NicholasCourtney (2003), Creator/DaphneAshbrook (2004)
432
433--> ''"Zagreus sits inside your head,''
434--> ''Zagreus lives among the dead,''
435--> ''Zagreus sees you in your bed, ''
436--> ''And eats you when you're sleeping."''
437
438Zagreus is just an old Gallifreyan nursery rhyme, so he shouldn't actually logically exist. This doesn't deter him any.
439
440* 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]].
441* ArmourPiercingQuestion: The Eighth Doctor makes a good show of being ObliviousToLove towards Charlotte, and completely ignores her obvious crush on him. Zagreus... doesn't.
442--> Did you miss me? Did your little human heart ache every moment I was gone? Did you have bad thoughts about me in the small dark hours before the dawn?
443* BadassBoast: In a direct reference to Creator/PaulCornell's "Love And War" and Creator/StevenMoffat's "Literature/ContinuityErrors":
444--> Monster, am I? ''Monster''? '''I''' am what the monsters have nightmares about!
445* [[spoiler: DragonWithAnAgenda]]: To [[spoiler: Rassilon]].
446* TheDreaded: OH YES. Even Death herself is frightened when she's suddenly humming his song, without any idea where it came from.
447* EldritchAbomination: Anti-Time personified.
448* EvilIsHammy: He's the hammy kind of insane.
449* 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.
450* [[spoiler: GenderBender]]: [[spoiler:Male-to-female.]]
451* HamToHamCombat: With the Eighth Doctor. They share a body and fight for dominance, while they're both coping with extreme SanitySlippage and LossOfIdentity.
452* 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.
453** To his credit, that ''did'' work for the Doctor in "Shada".
454* IronicNurseryRhyme: In the Tropes Pantheon is God of this.
455* [[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.
456* '''LargeHam''': Both in Eight's body and [[spoiler:as Perfection]].
457* LaughingMad: Has this kind of laugh.
458* 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.
459* SanitySlippage:
460--> Trust me, you don’t want to be mad. I’m not enjoying it one bit.
461* SharingABody: With the Eighth Doctor [[spoiler:and the TARDIS]].
462* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:Ends up betraying Rassilon and casting him to the Divergents.]]

470
471A snivelling 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.
472
473* 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.
474* ButtMonkey: As the Doctor says "Poor old Kro'ka. Everybody's whipping boy!"
475* DirtyCoward: [[spoiler:Rassilon]] even says he's not happy unless he's snivelling.
476* 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".
477* TheDragon: To [[spoiler:the Divergence or rather Daqar Keep, who has [[TheAssimilator absorbed them]]]]. And to [[spoiler:Rassilon]].
478* DuckSeasonRabbitSeason: The Doctor pulls one on him.
479* [[spoiler: FateWorseThanDeath]]: In the end, he's forced to [[spoiler:re-enact "Scherzo" for all eternity]] together with [[spoiler:Rassilon]].
480* MindRape: He has this power.
481* RailRoading: During the entire Divergent Universe arc, he alone decides where Eight and his companions go.

488
489A 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.
490
491* CameBackWrong: As of "Assassin in the Limelight".
492* FauxAffablyEvil: He can be quite a gentleman, albeit a nasty one.
493* HistoricalInJoke: Is especially fond of them, and loves [[ImMrFuturePopCultureReference posing as]] historical characters long before their time.
494* 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]].
495* IgnorantOfTheirOwnIgnorance: Knox has certain ideas about how Time works that convince him that his plans are perfectly safe with no danger to the fabric of reality. The Doctor disagrees, and while Knox talks as though this is just a Time Lord trying to assert his self-proclaimed authority, the Doctor has less reason to lie than others. .
496* RealityWarper: He freely uses his TARDIS to mess with the Web of Time and set up GroundhogDayLoop scenarios.
497* TheUndead: In his second appearance.
498* VillainTeamUp: He makes a pact with [[spoiler: The Indo]], then promptly regrets it.
499* WickedCultured: At heart, he's a man of the arts, specifically theatre.

502[[folder:Prince Kylo[[spoiler:/Lord Tenebris]].]]
503-> '''Voiced by:''' George Rainsford, James Wilby
504The last surviving prince of the Sorsha family, Prince Kylo was subject to an arranged marriage with Princess Aliona to end the war between their two families, but his life went wrong from that point onwards.
505
506* AchievementsInIgnorance: Kylo apparently saved himself from being thrown out of a shuttle in low orbit by instinctively using his telekinesis to slow his descent until he landed.
507* AnArmAndALeg: Kylo’s right hand was cut off by Aliona.
508* ArtificialLimbs: Kylo uses an artificial right hand as Lord Tenebris; the Doctor spotted this hand because he noticed that it reacted a microsecond behind his left one.
509* BatmanGambit: By the time of “The Shadow Heart”, Kylo has worked out why the Wrath are hunting him and the Doctor, and attempts to use that to pursue his own agenda.
510* FacialHorror: After over two decades on a distant planet, Kylo’s face suffered serious damage from the subtle acid in the atmosphere.
511* IHatePastMe: Kylo/Tenebris often dismisses his past self as a foolish young man.
512* InTheBlood: Kylo has the ability of pyrokinesis, which occasionally manifests in the royal line.
513* NeverMyFault: Kylo often blames the Doctor for what has happened to his life, when Kylo created the Wrath and started his rampage on his own, and the only thing the Doctor did was save Kylo’s life before they learned that Kylo’s fiancé was a complete psychopath who never actually loved him.
514* PerfectlyArrangedMarriage: Kylo thought he had this with Aliona, but it turned out that she was lying.
515* PlayingWithFire: Kylo can set himself and other objects on fire when suitably enraged. Initially this power is relatively uncontrolled, but by “The Shadow Heart” he can control this power more appropriately.
516* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: By the time of “Acheron Pulse”, Kylo has spent the last five years on a rampage across the galaxy to get revenge for what happened to him.
517* ThrownOutTheAirlock: Kylo was subjected to this by Aliona, which left him trapped on an isolated planet for over two decades.
518* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Kylo is driven to his more ruthless actions by a traumatising chain of circumstances that include his entire family being killed because he fell in love with the wrong girl.

525
526-> '''Franchise/BerniceSummerfield:''' Patronising git.
527-> '''Straxus:''' ''Useful'' patronising git.
528
529A Time Lord and member of the Gallifreyan Celestial Intervention Agency, Straxus encounters the Eighth Doctor throughout the New Eighth Doctor Adventures arcs.
530
531* AnachronicOrder: His Oliver Hume regeneration is younger than the ones that appeared earlier.
532* AntiVillain
533* 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]].
534* 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".
535* CharacterDevelopment: All over "Dark Eyes".
536* CrossThrough: Also appears in one Franchise/BerniceSummerfield episode, "The Adventure of the Diogenes Damsel".
537* EvilVersusEvil: Time Lords vs. Daleks in "Dark Eyes".
538* FantasticRacism: Seems to have shades of this towards Lucie.
539* 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]].
540* HeelRealisation: [[spoiler: Eventually became so disgusted by Time Lord machinations that when he regenerated he took on the name Kotris, and became a Dalek ally.]]
541* 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.]]
542* IDidWhatIHadToDo: The Oliver Hume incarnation especially seems to believe this.
543* 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 Kotris, and allied himself with the Daleks to wipe them out.]]
544* JustFollowingOrders: His specialty. He eventually stops, but it's not exactly a positive development.
545* TheNthDoctor
546* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Straxus rather enjoys enforcing the Time Lords' byzantine laws.
547* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When the Doctor tells him off for being part of the Time Lords' machinations, Straxus admits he'll one day tire of them. [[spoiler: This is the first hint that Straxus and Kotris are the same person.]]

557Lucie 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.
558
559* 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.)

575'''Nobody No-One:''' Well, actually: No, I'm not. But you're not the first person who said that. Is it the hair? It's the hair, isn't it? I should change the hair.
576
577Think 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 is a bounty hunter going by the name of Nobody No-One, and rather likes to be a thorn in the side of the Seventh Doctor. The terrifying twist is that his abilities are derived from words uttered or written down. So, for example, if someone were to say that "Nobody could get into the TARDIS..."
578
579* AnimeHair: His Paul Reynolds incarnation looks (and acts) like a twisted parody of the Tenth Doctor.
580* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: A scary variant, rather than comedy. The Word Lord is ''very'' clever in manipulating people into saying things in his favour.
581-->'''Evelyn:''' Nobody should have that kind of power.\
582'''Nobody:''' I can't believe you said that! That may be the biggest blunder in history!
583* EvilCounterpart:
584** To the Doctor, being that they both are of similar species, [[NeverAcceptedInHisHometown are renegades of an advanced society who have left their homeworld behind due to not fitting in with their peers]], and are capable of travelling all around space and time. But whereas the Doctor is kind and virtuous, Nobody is malicious and sadistic, and whereas the Doctor travels to experience the wonders of the universe and fight injustice, Nobody travels with the goal of deriving pleasure from wrecking havoc and causing people pain and discomfort.
585** Also invoked on a meta level at first, since he's very much like the Tenth Doctor. This element is deliberately invoked in-story later on, when he goes around wearing a Fourth Doctor style scarf just for fun.
586* 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.
587* FromNobodyToNightmare: Literally. At first he seems harmless. Then you utter something like, say... "Nobody can [[spoiler: kill the Doctor]]". And then he can.
588* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Once you realize the power of language...
589* LargeHam: Paul Reynolds plays his Word Lord as a lethal homage to the [[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.
590* LiteralGenie: Be very careful what you say around him.
591* TheNthDoctor: His second appearance is a regeneration, forced upon him when [[NoodleIncident he crashed into the 27th letter of the English Alphabet]].
592* OmnicidalManiac: After the Doctor's resurrection.
593* PsychoForHire: Doesn't care much about the rewards, wishing to hunt down the most dangerous creatures across the Multiverse, and takes pleasure in killing, wanting to take Hex despite the small reward.
594* RealityWarper: One of the most dangerous villains in all of ''Doctor Who''. The only way the Doctor manages to defeat him in his second appearance is by [[spoiler: committing a very real 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''.
595* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Nobody knows how old he is. No, really. But he's not telling.
596* RetGone: A walking version of it, should someone be ignorant enough to give him that much power.
597* SanitySlippage: Originally takes exception to the idea that he's insane, but after regenerating, he goes LargeHam at the accusation that he's gone mad -- he's furious!

601!!The Dalek Time Controller
602[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/timecontrol_3025.jpg]]
603-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/NicholasBriggs (2009–2015)
604
605A 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 [[Recap/NewSeriesAdventuresTheDalekGeneration "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. Why? He can take the Dalek race's greatest failures and change them into their greatest ''victories''.
606
607* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: [[spoiler: Resorts to this in order to live, due to its symbiotic connection to Molly O'Sullivan slowly ''killing it''.]]
608* ArchEnemy: Seems to become this for the later Eighth Doctor.
609* BadassDecay: Acknowledged and justified InUniverse. [[spoiler: The Time Controller is ''literally'' decaying by "Dark Eyes 4", due to the symbiotic connection it developed with Molly O'Sullivan, and is in constant pain from this. Its DNA has also decayed enough that the other Daleks refuse to acknowledge it as a fellow Dalek or a high ranking officer in the Empire. Even its non-organic components are suffering from this, its weapon weakening to the point it requires several direct hits to kill someone. Doesn't stop it from blowing up Dalek after Dalek though]].
610* BigBad: For the "Dark Eyes" series against the Eighth Doctor. Begins a bit earlier with "Lucie Miller" and "To the Death".
611* TheChessmaster: Throughout most of of "The Dalek Generation". It goes up against the equally formidable Master in "Dark Eyes 4". [[spoiler: [[OutGambitted The Master wins]].]]
612* ConquerorFromTheFuture: Is hurled back thousands of years and decides to perform another Dalek Invasion of Earth.
613** 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.
614* TheCorruption: [[spoiler:By existing outside of time, the Dalek Time Controller remembers events from the timeline in Dark Eyes. However, the rapidly changing timelines cause it to pick up and retain various bits that, to the Daleks, make it less and less Dalek. By being involved in Molly O'Sullivan's timeline for so long, the Dalek Time Controller ends up being ''symbiotically linked'' to her, weakening it as Molly's own body ages and fails.]]
615* 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]].
616* CruelMercy: In "To the Death" tells the Eighth Doctor he will be left on Earth as it is sent through time to the Amethyst viruses. Being a Time Lord will enable the Doctor to live long enough to watch the Earth die.
617* EnemyMine: In ''[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoNEDASDarkEyes2E1TheTraitor The Traitor]]'', the Doctor helps him against [[spoiler:the Eminence]]. Earlier he joined [[spoiler:Straxus' future incarnation]] Kotris against the Time Lords.
618* {{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.
619** 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.
620** The Dalek Time Controller is also very similar in many respects to River Song, whose time travel also generally doesn't mesh with the Doctor's, meeting each other out of order from their perspectives.
621* AGodAmI: In "Dark Eyes 4", he states that he is a '''Time Lord''' Dalek, and that through him, the Daleks will be the new masters of time and space.
622* HaveWeMetYet: First meets the 11th Doctor, then the 6th Doctor, then becomes the ArchEnemy of the 8th Doctor.
623* JokerImmunity: Even though history being changed in "Dark Eyes" means he shouldn't have survived the events of "To the Death" he shows up again in "Dark Eyes 2".
624* LouisCypher: Anyone with an understanding of French could guess [[spoiler:the name Dutemps]] involved it in some way.
625* TheOmniscient: One's mind existing outside of time will slowly turn you into this.
626* 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.
627* RippleEffectProofMemory: In "Dark Eyes 2" he remembers the events of "Dark Eyes" despite preventing them from happening.
628* StableTimeLoop: [[spoiler:Due to becoming increasingly less and less Dalek, by the Dalek Supreme's standards, the Time Controller goes on to greater lengths to ensure that it had its own power base, eventually cummulating in becoming the Eminence. However, these actions cause the Dalek Supreme to have another mutant like it to be created and made entirely loyal to the Supreme, starting the loop all over again.]]
629* 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.
630* UnholyMatrimony: With a Dalek duplicate (in human form), cloned from its own cells. [[spoiler: Really, the name Dutemps was a bit of a giveaway]]. Narcissism, thy name is Time Controller.
631* WhyDontYaJustShootHim: Justified. Often it won't exterminate the Doctor because doing so would mess up the timeline, or it's simply more productive to leave him alive.
632** Averts this with the Master; the moment their alliance ceases to be needed, it attempts to have him killed on the spot. [[spoiler:He saw it coming a mile away.]]
633* 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.
634** Does this to several Daleks [[spoiler:when they explicitly deny its official rank and standing]].

643[[folder: The Eminence]]
644!!The Eminence
645-> '''Voiced By:''' David Sibley (2014–2015)
646
647A FogOfDoom in one of the purest senses; the Eminence is a cloud of energy, demanding worship and converting people into Infinite Warriors for its cause of conquest. To this end it employs caskets full of Eminence gas, caskets that may appear out of nowhere and travel through space under their own power - to breath in their contents is to breath in forever, and to become an Infinite Warrior. First appeared in "The Seeds of War", although the Doctor first encountered the Eminence chronologically in "Destroy The Infinite".
648
649* BigBad: Of "Dark Eyes 2", "Dark Eyes 3" and the fourteenth series of Jago and Litefoot.
650* EnemyMine: The Time Lords foresee a possible future where the Eminence is the only life form in the Universe and hope to find a way to control it to prevent the Daleks ending up as the dominant life form of the Universe.
651** The Master provides a much more direct deal with it in "Dark Eyes 3".
652* TheDreaded: The possibility of even one Infinite Warrior appearing, much less the Eminence itself, is enough to get armies mobilized and ready to start firing.
653* EnemyWithin: [[spoiler: The Doctor has a piece of the Eminence trapped inside his mind - not enough to take control, if he's careful and keeps it under control, but enough for the Eminence to sense his presence. Unfortunately, he's had to let that control slip more than once...]]
654* EvilCannotComprehendGood: [[spoiler: The Eminence keeps trying to tempt the Doctor with WeCanRuleTogether, and doesn't seem to appreciate why it is refused.]]
655* GlowingEyelightsOfUndeath: Anyone transformed into an Infinite Warrior gains these - though they are technically not undead, killing them requires specialized equipment, and they cannot be recovered from this state. [[spoiler: Then the Master started dabbling in things...]]
656* AGodAmI: Has this attitude through and through. This isn't helped by the fact that, as a gaseous entity, it's rather hard to kill the Eminence outright, and its Infinite Warriors are only marginally easier to stop.
657* GodzillaThreshold: In contrast, the Doctor is willing to work with the Dalek Time Controller against them.
658* GoneHorriblyWrong: The gas the Eminence was composed of was originally designed to take the consciousness out of a pilot's body and allow it to control star ships from vast distances apart, the teleport pods likewise designed to move it about. However, problems arose from the various unhealthy delusions Markus Schriver had while creating it, and things only got worse when the Master became involved...
659* KryptoniteFactor: Initially, the Eminence had no weakness that could easily be exploited. As of "Dark Eyes 2", however, a new one emerged [[CosmicRetcon by way of the changing timelines]]: [[spoiler: the retrogenitor particles carried by Molly O'Sullivan]]. Anyone infused with them becomes immune to possession, previous victims even return to normal after sufficient exposure, and the Eminence gas itself is dispersed by it. Nobody knows how this came about, but the Master exploits it for all it is worth.
660* MergerOfSouls: [[spoiler: Its consciousness is composed of the minds of both Markus Schriver, [[AGodAmI who provided the attitude]], and the ''Dalek Time Controller'', who brought along [[TheDeterminator the drive to survive at all costs]]. Suffice to say, that RoyalWe the Eminence employs is not merely out of pomposity.]]
661* MindRape: Of quite a few people. Notably, Narvin gets thoroughly invaded by it.
662* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: The piece of the Eminence that was trapped in the Doctor’s mind? After it was expelled during the events of the “Dark Eyes” saga it ended up in Victorian London, coming into conflict with Jago and Litefoot.]]
663* OurZombiesAreDifferent: People who inhale the Breath of Forever from the Eminence are turned into its Infinite Warriors, with cracked gray skin and glowing orange eyes. [[http://www.thetimewarriors.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Times-Horizon-cover.jpg They don't need to be alive, either]].
664* PowerBornOfMadness: Marcus Schriver, the original creator of the gas the Eminence is composed of, was... not the most healthy minded of individuals. Aside from believing in gods of chance [[NeverMyFault and refusing to accept his actions could directly result in others dying]], Schriver regularly talked to himself under the pretence it was his ''computer'' that was doing so. [[GoneHorriblyWrong Is it any surprise the Eminence was created from such a mind?]] [[spoiler: Well, no, not when the Dalek Time Controller got thrown in and stirred around.]]
665* RoyalWe: Always refers to itself in this way. [[spoiler: It turns out to be a bit more literal than one would assume.]]
666* StableTimeLoop: After bits of its consciousness move through the Doctor, the Master and the Master's TARDIS, that trace of its being is then fed by the Master into the fog that would eventually become the Eminence, ensuring its creation.
667** Come "Dark Eyes 4", it becomes ''much'' more complicated. [[spoiler: The Eminence was created from a trap the Daleks placed for the Dalek Time Controller, knowing that it would attempt to shift its mind into the mind-sustaining gas Markus Schriver was developing. Once there, Daleks would blow up the Time Controller to ensure it died. However, though the Time Controller succeeds, Schriver had already completed the transfer himself, resulting in the two minds fighting for dominance of the gas and eventually merging together into the Eminence. The explosion, and the portal to the vortex in the Time Controller's own now discarded casing, caused the Eminence to be sent into the vortex, whereupon it would be unleashed onto the universe and [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoNEDASDarkEyes2E1TheTraitor prove to be a thorn in the Time Controller's side, allowing it to learn about the Eminence...]] [[MindScrew Oi.]]]]
668* UnderestimatingBadassery: Even after trying to possess the Doctor, the Eminence continues to underestimate his strength of will; the Doctor has [[spoiler:often managed to defeat the Eminence by feigning that he has succumbed to its influence when in reality he's just stringing it along until he can strike back]].
669* TheVirus: A living zombie plague, to be the last thing remaining in the universe... if the timelines stay right. It's so potent that even ''a few molecules'' of its gas are able to evoke a partial transformation (albeit an un-sustained one if the Eminence itself isn't around).

673!!Quaddrigger Stoyn
674[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/quadrigger_stoyn.jpg]]
675-> '''Voiced by:''' Terry Molloy (2013–2014)
676
677A TARDIS technician innocently going about his job, Stoyn had the misfortune of being within the Doctor's TARDIS when the Doctor "borrowed" it. Given a nasty burn when the TARDIS was powered up, Stoyn suffers incredibly whenever he comes across the Doctor, and only gets more hell when he attempts revenge for it.
678
679* AbsoluteXenophobe: Stoyn initially was as xenophobic as the next Gallifreyan - however, his effective banishment from Gallifrey, and his ensuing madness, slowly crank the dial up. By "Luna Romana", [[spoiler: he has been driven so insane by Earth's presence and the Doctor's attitude towards it that he attempts to undo Earth's very existence, and the Doctor with it. [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Romana II makes sure it does Stoyn in instead.]]]]
680* GloryHound: Attempts this at the end of "The Beginning", to win some favour on Gallifrey - he becomes stranded on the moon for his troubles.
681* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: Stoyn was just a technician doing his job; then the Doctor came around...
682* KickTheDog: Both Susan and Romana I showed Stoyn some compassion in the short time they were with him. Both times he used them for his own ends, and got hell for it.
683* KnightTemplar: Has this attitude towards the Doctor and his meddling. Though Stoyn's crusade has some legitimate points, [[JerkassHasAPoint as the Doctor's TARDIS is technically stolen property and he illegally left Gallifrey]], it inevitably comes back to bitter revenge for how Stoyn was unfairly treated. He also views the Time Lords as being soft for pardoning the aforementioned crimes, despite, ya know, saving the universe and the ''entire Time Lord society''. [[OffWithHisHead He then takes the next obvious extreme of this trope, and never looks back.]]
684* MacGyvering: To the point that he can construct a window to view into Gallifrey's Matrix while trapped on Earth's moon! [[spoiler:If only it weren't locked on the Doctor...]]
685* NeverMyFault: Stoyn continually blames the Doctor for all his problems, even after he's gathered sufficient resources that he could have contacted Gallifrey to get them to take him home if he wasn't so fixated on 'punishing' the Doctor for the alleged crimes that the Time Lords have already officially forgiven him for.
686* PhysicalScarsPsychologicalScars: Initially only Stoyn's face was scarred, partially hidden by a beard later on. His repeated botched attempts at doing the Doctor in, however, [[TwitchyEye gave him a notable twitch]].
687* VillainBall: Brilliant as Stoyn is, his contempt for the Doctor leads him to utilize valuable resources to try and trap the Doctor rather than contact Gallifrey and explain how he became an accidental renegade. "The Dying Light" even implies that [[spoiler: [[Recap/DoctorWhoS6E7TheWarGames the Doctor got his hypercube from one of Stoyn's traps]].]]
688* VillainousBreakdown: Stoyn goes through one in practically every story he's in. The worst of them happens in "Luna Romana", [[spoiler: where Romana I accidentally lets slip that Stoyn's role as a Quaddrigger has long become obsolete]].
689* WeCanRuleTogether: Attempts this with Susan. [[TheDogBitesBack She tells him where to stick it with her foot.]]

691
692[[folder: The Multitude (The Eleven)]]
693!! The Multitude
694
695One of the most feared Time Lords criminals Gallifrey ever produced. Brought to justice and imprisoned on Gallifrey by the Seventh Doctor, they eventually effect an escape during the Doctor's eighth incarnation and became a thorn in his side from that point on. Unique among Time Lords in that they suffer from a rare condition called "regenerative dissonance" which allows their previous regenerations to live on separately inside their mind, frequently communicating with their current incarnation and occasionally taking over their body outright. [[IHatePastMe None of them get along with each other]].
696
697!!In general:
698
699* AllThereInTheManual: On Twitter, John Dorney approved of a fan's idea to refer to the character as "the Collective" when speaking of the whole personality group, but until the release of Morbius Part Two, it wasn’t made [[AscendedFanon official]].
700* ArtifactTitle: All of the incarnations as a whole are still generally referred to as "the Eleven" even though, as of "Time War 2", the Twelve is officially a player on the board.
701* EvilCounterpart: To the Doctor; specifically some of their incarnations seem to mirror the respective incarnations of the Doctor.
702** The One sounds noticeably older than the others, much like the First Doctor.
703** The Three is apparently more willing to kill than the others. The Third Doctor was an eager martial artist and had less qualms about handling a gun than his other selves.
704** The Five is a polite QuintessentialBritishGentleman much like the amiable cricketer that was the Fifth Doctor.
705** The Six is AxCrazy, much like how violent the Sixth Doctor was post regeneration (and even later he was more pragmatic and less worried with violence than most Doctors).
706** The Seven is the scientist like how the Seventh Doctor was an intelligent Chessmaster.
707** The Eight is the TokenGoodTeammate trying to stop his other selves, and the Eighth Doctor looks down on his own previous incarnation and is the version of the Doctor who has to deal with the Multitude/Eleven the most: so he is ALSO trying to stop the Multitude's other selves.
708** The Ten was particularly good at mental manipulation, [[spoiler:once hypnotising most of a Gallifreyan firing squad into killing themselves]], much like the Tenth Doctor's more regular use of his telepathic abilities compared to the other Doctors.
709* IHatePastMe: ''None'' of their previous incarnations get along with each other. At all.
710** Special attention goes to the Eight, who was the only incarnation who genuinely tried to be 'good'.
711** It gets taken to absurd lengths in ''The Odds Against'' when [[spoiler:the Eleven and the Nine meet. They not only bicker with each other, but their past selves start each talking to their counterparts in the other's head resulting in them both simultaneously telling Four to be quiet and the Nine inside the Eleven's head (unsuccessfully) conspiring with the actual Nine to stop the Eleven from saving the Doctor, Helen and Liv]].
712** Further demonstrated in ''Dark Universe''; [[spoiler:as part of his conquest of the universe with the aid of the Dark Citizens, the Eleven had them transfer his other ten personas into his robot servants, but towards the end he realises that he isn't in reality because his other selves are conceding to his authority rather than claiming that everything they do is for themselves]].
713* IHaveManyNames: The Multitude changed their name with each incarnation - i.e. since they're on their eleventh incarnation when we meet them, he's called the Eleven; the others are the Ten, the Nine, etc.
714* LargeHam: ''Thirteen'' of them.
715* LiteralSplitPersonality: In ''Dark Universe'', the Eleven is able to remove his previous selves from his head and upload them into various groups of robots to act as his foot soldiers and staff.
716* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Their ''ENTIRE'' existence may be the result of this. [[spoiler: During the first Gallifrian Civil War the Time Lords awarded an ordinary Gallifrian ship captain a regeneration for their heroic efforts against Morbius. Unfortunately both the Captain’s body and mind reacted so badly to the regeneration that their dysmorphia becomes hereditary and is eventually passed down to their grandson: a Time Lord the Morbius hologram calls the Collective.]]
717* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Like many Time Lord renegades he goes by a moniker rather than his Gallifreyan name, each incarnation being named after the number of his lives he is on at any given moment. Presumably "the One" was known by another name, as his condition was not known prior to his first regeneration, but it isn't mentioned.
718* SplitPersonality: They slips into their previous incarnations when riled up. Some of their incarnations had better methods of dealing with these flareups than others, but the Eight and [[spoiler:the Union]] were the best at it. The Twelve has more control of her other selves than most, and is fitted with a neural inhibitor to give her even more control.
719
720!!The Eleven
721[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_eleven_doom_coalition.jpg]]
722-> '''Voiced by:''' Mark Bonnar (2015–present)
723
724The first incarnation to be introduced and the most frequently recurring, the Eleven is both extremely cunning and highly unstable, his moods varying so wildly that he can cooperate with the Doctor as easily as he attempts to destroy him.
725----
726
727* BigBadWannabe: In ''Day of the Master'' [[spoiler:the three Masters accuse him of this, laughing at the idea that he is the Doctor's other arch-enemy]].
728* TheCorrupter: If there's one thing the Eleven is good at doing, outside of being insane, it's taking his fellow Time Lords and making them into beings just as terrible as he.
729* TheDeterminator: He seemingly is one just by having managed to live as long as he has. He isn't the first Time Lord to suffer from his condition, the others apparently [[DrivenToSuicide never made it past their eighth incarnations]]. One is said to have stasered themselves through both of their hearts.
730* DidntThinkThisThrough: His plan in “The Eleven- One For All” involved extracting some of his past selves from his mind, which destabilised the balance between his other selves and nearly caused a psychotic breakdown as they could no longer properly ‘define’ their roles.
731* DisabilityImmunity: [[spoiler: The Ravenous feed off regeneration energy but since the Eleven's regenerative dissonance means he regenerates differently to most Time Lords they cannot feed off him]].
732* EnemyMine: Is utterly terrified of the Ravenous and joins forces with the Doctor to stop them from hunting them both. [[spoiler: At least until he learns he's immune to being fed on by the Ravenous and he decides to throw in his lot with them to get his revenge on the Doctor and the whole universe]].
733* EvilerThanThou:
734** The Eleven chides [[spoiler: the Nine]] for merely trying to [[spoiler: set the Ravenous on the Doctor]] after learning about [[spoiler: their immunity to them]]. He decides to attempt something far more elaborate.
735** The Eleven does this again to the Crispy Master in ''Planet of Dust'', setting a trap for him and the Doctor then setting the Ravenous on them. [[spoiler:[[HoistbyHisOwnPetard This comes back to bite him as three different, pissed off, incarnations of the Master pull a reversal on him,]] ([[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou it probably didn’t help that the Eleven referred to himself as the Doctor’s other arch-enemy]]) making it clear that the Eleven only managed to pull one on the Master as he was weak, dying, and desperate.]]
736* ForTheEvulz: In ''Dark Universe'', the Doctor states that he considers the Eleven more dangerous than the Master or the Rani, as they at least convince themselves they have an agenda whereas the Eleven does everything he does just for the sake of it.
737* InsaneEqualsViolent: [[DefiedTrope Defied]]. He says on more than one occasion that his evil has nothing to do with his mental illness. Since he went bad when he was the One, before he would've noticed its effects, he's likely correct.
738** [[spoiler: Attempts to invoke this at the end of ''The Odds Against'' claiming that being attacked by the Ravenous cured him of his regenerative dissonance and he's good now. Helen points out to the Doctor and Liv that they know that's not how it worked. He's faking being cured regardless]].
739* ItsPersonal: He hates the Doctor since he's the one who brought him into justice.
740* JackOfAllStats: While he has access to the skills of his other selves, on his own the Eleven doesn't seem to particularly "specialise" in any field; the Six is the best choice if you just want to kill people, the Seven is the scientist, the Nine is good for breaking into things, or the One is good for general knowledge, but the Eleven himself doesn't have any obvious strength compared to his other personalities (unless being able to draw on so many of them counts as a "strength").
741* MoralityPet:
742** He appears to have genuine affection for his wife, Miskavel, in “The Eleven” box set, [[spoiler:although this doesn’t stop him from trying to corrupt her mind as part of his final plan]].
743** Gets one in the form of [[spoiler: Helen Sinclair after they're trapped together for a while]], although he clarifies that while his compassion for her is genuine there are still at least three of his incarnations that wouldn't hesitate to kill her.
744* NiceJobFixingItVillain: His plan in “The Eleven- Elevation” might have worked out [[spoiler:if he didn’t deliberately allow the Doctor to return to the planet just so he could rub his victory in his enemy’s face]].
745* OmnicidalManiac:
746** ''Dark Universe'' sees him make a deal with the residents of a dark alternate universe [[spoiler:where he basically 'feeds' portions of the universe to them in return for their aid in conquering what's left]].
747** In ''Day of the Master'' [[spoiler:he sets up a scenario where the entire universe, save for himself, could become food for the Ravenous]].
748* PutOnABus: In the “UNIT: Nemesis” series, after spending the first 3 boxsets as one half of the BigBadEnsemble with the Vulpreen, he’s unceremoniously replaced by Missy in the fourth boxset, who teleports him “somewhere interesting” when he confronts her about it.
749* SmallNameBigEgo: In ''Day of the Master'', [[spoiler:the Masters clearly consider him this, all three incarnations present laughing at the idea of the Eleven as their 'equal' as the Doctor's arch-enemy]].
750* TeethClenchedTeamwork: The Eleven is NOT happy to have to join the TARDIS team to fight the Ravenous. The feeling is mutual, with Liv going so far as to suggest leaving him tied up in a cupboard.
751* TheresNoKillLikeOverkill: [[spoiler: How the Eleven ultimately dies. Three different incarnations of the Master all take turns shooting him.]]
752* TokenEvilTeammate: Becomes one to the TARDIS Team in ''Ravenous 3'', [[spoiler:before he learns that the Ravenous aren't a threat to ''him'' and he can make a new plan]].
753* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: [[spoiler: The Ravenous can't feed off him]].
754* VillainousBreakdown: He suffers one in ''Day of The Master'' [[spoiler: as he begins to regenerate from his wounds, crying at the realization that he’ll be trapped inside the Twelve’s head alongside his other voices for the rest of their lives]].
755* VillainousRescue: Shows up in ''The Odds Against'' to save the TARDIS team from [[spoiler: the Ravenous. It's actually part of a larger gambit]].
756
757!!The One
758
759[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The renegade Time Lord's first incarnation]], originally a humble archivist on Gallifrey before he turned to crime.
760----
761
762* AlmightyJanitor: Before he went bad, he was tapped to serve on the High Council despite being an archivist because they needed to make up the numbers during a crisis situation.
763* EnemyMine: In “The Eleven- One For All”, faced with the threat of his personalities psychologically collapsing, the One [[spoiler:works with the Sixth Doctor to escape the Eleven’s trap and restore his extracted personas to his body]].
764* FromNobodyToNightmare: From humble archivist to feared criminal mastermind. [[spoiler: His archivist job becomes a major plot point because he found the plans of Rassilon and Omega's original stellar manipulator in the Panopticon Archives.]]
765* HeroWorship: Whatever their relationship became later, the One had studied the Doctor's life story and been inspired by it.
766* KickedUpstairs: He had a seat on the High Council of Time Lords, but this had more to do with a lack of other members than his own qualifications.
767* NoNameGiven: Presumably his condition was not discovered until he first regenerated, so he would have had no reason to spend this incarnation calling himself "the One", but whatever name he went by is never revealed.
768* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: He just not would shut up when the Two was in charge.
769
770!!The Two
771
772-> '''Voiced by:''' Micheal Maloney (2023)
773
774A somewhat [[JerkAss rude]] but ultimately tired man who just wants peace and quiet. He would be harmless if it weren’t for the fact that the One is slowly driving him insane.
775
776----
777* TheCharmer: The Doctor describes him as this during "Planet of the Ogrons" after he schmoozes up to Bliss (through the Twelve). [[InformedAttribute Somewhat Zig-Zagged]] when he makes his first real appearance. While he was able to put up enough of a display to dupe Harry Sullivan into thinking that he was a future Doctor, his stories mostly focus on his SanitySlippage than any charm he might possess.
778* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Shortly after discovering his condition he visited the Sisterhood of Kahn to see how his future selves would fare. [[spoiler: the images of his constant defeats by the Doctor drives him to blow up the First Doctor’s TARDIS before it has a chance to leave Trotter’s Lane.]]
779* StartOfDarkness: The first malevolent incarnation, though he’s not nearly as evil as other selves will one day become and is clearly suffering from A LOT of mental stress.
780* TheNoseKnows: Claims to be very good at sniffing out traitors. Notably, he's able to smell that [[spoiler:River Song is a Time Lord-human hybrid]].
781* TragicVillain: At this point in time he’s not nearly as evil as his later selves. Most of his actions are motivated by his desire to silence the One (who’s voice the Two very clearly can’t handle the mental strain) and all he really wants is to be left alone, something that’s difficult with the One nagging him and his future knowledge of The Doctor’s actions against him.
782
783!!The Three
784
785* BloodKnight: While not much is known about the Three, the Doctor notes him as one of the incarnations more willing and happy to resort to murder, though not to the extent of the Six.
786* PsychopathicManchild: The Three is described in “The Eleven- One For All” as being somewhat childish, suggesting that he kills because he lacks self-control rather than out of the same psychosis as the Six.
787
788!!The Four
789
790* InsufferableGenius: Liv describes him as "arrogant", and during the Nine's [[spoiler:capture of the Doctor's companions]] he makes sure everyone knows that the whole plan was ''his'' idea.
791* IHatePastMe: Taken to bizarre extremes during the confrontation between Eleven and Nine, where the Four manifests in ''both'' of them in order to have a shouting match with himself.
792* SmallNameBigEgo: Despite his depicted arrogance, he has never shown any particular talents that make him stand out among the Eleven's various past selves.
793
794!!The Five
795
796* AffablyEvil: The Five is by far the most polite and deferential of his incarnations, frequently scolding the Six and the others for being too eager to take the most violent route and even apoligising to some of the Eleven's victims from within him for how rude his other selves are. Could be a case of FauxAffablyEvil but we don't see enough of him to be certain.
797* QuintessentialBritishGentleman: He certainly has the demeanour of one despite not even being human.
798* SayingTooMuch: Eleven chides him in "Stop the Clock" for loudly proclaiming his ability to kill everyone around him even while incarcerated, which rather gave away the Eleven's plan of doing just that.
799
800!!The Six
801
802Notable among his other selves for being the most unstable and murderous psychopath among a gang of unstable and murderous psychopaths. Six only ever makes himself known in order to suggest violence and destruction, whatever the occasion. Despite his volatility, his later incarnations occasionally let him loose when the situation gets desperate enough that his skill with violence would come in very handy.
803
804----
805* BloodKnight: Most of his incarnations enjoy a good killing spree, but the Six takes it up to eleven. He loves nothing more than slaughter, and whenever he isn't complaining about not being in control, he tells the other incarnations to just slay everyone and everything.
806* GodzillaThreshold: The Twelve allows him brief periods of taking control of her body when fighting against the Daleks, knowing that nobody is more capable of sheer destruction than Six.
807
808!!The Seven
809
810* NoSocialSkills: Most of his other selves are not particularly personable at the best of times, but the Seven gets singled out as being particularly aggressive and abrasive by the Nine in "World of Damnation".
811* TheSmartGuy: None of his incarnations are stupid, but the Seven is the most skilled with sciences.
812
813!!The Eight
814-> '''Voiced by:''' Tim [=McMullan=] (2016)
815[[quoteright:248:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eight.PNG]]
816
817The one and only completely good incarnation, Eight dedicated himself to a life of faith as "Father Octavian", and was able to keep his other selves almost entirely at bay using meditation techniques.
818----
819* BewareTheNiceOnes: He may be the most benevolent incarnation but he is still capable of murder if his victim is sufficiently evil. [[spoiler: He is the one responsible for the "The Murder of Oliver Akkron"]].
820* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: Saves Ace and her crew from robots infused with the personality of the Six in ''Dark Universe'']].
821* FateWorseThanDeath: During ''Ravenous 4'', [[spoiler:the other personas threaten that they will ensure that the Eight is trapped in their subconscious forever if he doesn't go along with the Eleven's current claims of wanting to reform]].
822* HeroWithAnFInGood: Eight ''wants'' to be good, or at least to not be as bad as all his past selves, but his severe trauma and cowardice prevent him from actually achieving much.
823** Ironically he is able to be fairly effective after he dies, providing valuable information from within the Eleven in ''Stop the Clock'' and [[spoiler: aiding Ace when put into a robot body in ''Dark Universe'']].
824* ImprobableWeaponUser: Manages to make a pretty effective attack [[spoiler: against robots of his other selves with some very strong cleaning fluid in ''Dark Universe'']].
825* MeaningfulName: Octavian is Latin for "eighth".
826* NiceJobBreakingItHero: His [[spoiler: assassination of the dictator Oliver Akkron leaves a power vacuum that his other selves readily exploit]].
827* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Octavian attempts to assist the Doctor and River Song against the Clocksmith, with his contributions allowing them to destroy their enemy's equipment and kill him. However, in the subsequent chaos caused by the destruction of the Clocksmith's equipment, the Doctor and River lose track of Octavian and he staggers into the Doctor's TARDIS just in time to regenerate into the Nine, basically invalidating every effort he made to be a better person.
828* SlaveMooks: When the Eleven manages to remove his selves from his head and place them in robots the ones with Eight's personality are made to do the cleaning.
829* TokenGoodTeammate: Eight is always the voice begging his other incarnations to not hurt people, to surrender and just please stop being such a monster. [[TheWoobie He spent much of his time on Earth as a beggar, in torment from what his previous incarnations had done, meditating to keep their voices out and being as non-offensive as he possibly could]]. He even assisted the Doctor, Liv, Helen and River in defeating the Clocksmith. Unfortunately, the damage he suffered from the encounter caused him to regenerate into the Nine, [[GoneHorriblyWrong and it all went horribly wrong from there]].
830** The Doctor later used the Eight's status as this in "Stop the Clock", when he provoked the Eight into taking control of the Eleven so that the past incarnation could explain [[spoiler:Pardac's]] plans to them.
831
832!!The Nine
833-> '''Voiced by:''' John Heffernan (2016-present)
834[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nine.PNG]]
835
836The kleptomaniac, unable to restrain himself from taking anything he likes the look of, whether it be jewels, weapons or living people. Though somewhat adept at ThePlan, his hot-headed and excitable nature tended to get the best of him and undo all his own efforts.
837----
838* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: As the resident kleptomaniac, he is frequently distracted by things which look shiny, valuable or likely to cause great destruction in his hands; he once raided a lab to steal advanced technology for his latest scheme and simultaneously stole a coffee machine just because he could.
839* BatmanGambit: Pulls an impressive one in [[spoiler:''The Odds Against''. He sets up a scenario designed to intrigue the Doctor complete with mysterious deaths, ancient mythical monsters and an evil AI. The Doctor realises too late that it's all fake]].
840* BreakoutVillain: He was originally just another voice in the Eleven’s head. When he made a proper appearance in ''Doom Coalition 3'' he proved popular enough to warrant further appearances in ''Ravenous 3'' and later made the jump to ''The Legacy of Time'', facing off against other incarnations of the Doctor and moving away from the presence of his future incarnation.
841* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: His obsession with "nice things" might sound petty, but in the name of that goal he has stolen everything from the Doctor's companions (across all of the Doctor's history, with information from River Song) to advanced technology, and even once stole the dimensional control unit from the Doctor's TARDIS.
842* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Moments after regenerating and still suffering from regeneration psychosis, after being told by Liv that the Doctor's TARDIS belongs to him [[labelnote:context]]After helping defeat the Clocksmith, the Eight stumbled onto the Doctor's TARDIS and began to regenerate. Liv and Helen, the Doctor's companions, were the first to find him after being separated from the Doctor and had no reason to suspect that the Eight was a Time Lord, and thus make the assumption that the Nine was, in fact, a regenerated Doctor. For a very short time, until he recovers from his regeneration psychosis, so does he.[[/labelnote]], his only reaction is amazed delight that the TARDIS and all its contents belongs to him. His first act, under the pretense of trying to help track down Pardac, is to set a crash course to Gallifrey's secret archives; not because there's anything there that will help, but because there's even more cool stuff to take from there.
843* GottaCatchEmAll: He attempts this with [[spoiler: all of the Doctor's companions in ''Companion Piece''. Naturally it backfires spectacularly because imprisoning a group of people experienced in dealing with extreme situations all in the same place means they inevitably work out an escape]].
844* HoistByHisOwnPetard:
845** In ''Companion Piece'', he gets imprisoned in one of the cells he kept [[spoiler: the Doctor's companions in after they break out and overpower him]].
846** In ''The Dreams of Avarice'', [[spoiler:he becomes so obsessed with stealing a giant telepathic crystal from another dimension that he tries to follow it into its own dimension even when he has no idea what it will be like on the other side]].
847* InsistentTerminology: Nine objects to being called a psychopath. That's Six. He's the kleptomaniac.
848* ItsAllAboutMe: A good description of his reasons for assembling his collection, as he mostly wants things so that he can say he has them rather than out of any real sense that he appreciates the chance to look at them. In ''The Dreams of Avarice'', he even [[spoiler:tried to steal an entire planet because it had so many elaborate buildings on it he wasn't sure where to start if he wanted to steal them all individually]].
849* MythologyGag: During the short time that he believes he's the Doctor, still recovering from regeneration psychosis, he has a version of the Doctor's traditional post-regeneration wardrobe change. Liv says that the end result "doesn't really suit him" and that he "looks like a pirate". These are both charges levelled at [[Creator/MattSmith Matt Smith's]] [[Characters/DoctorWhoEleventhDoctor Eleventh Doctor]] during test screenings before his debut while trying to nail down his outfit, with many of the proposed styles looking like a cross between a modern-day pirate and gothic hipster, neither of which (nor anything between, for that matter) suited his character.
850* OutGambitted: By River Song. [[spoiler:The Nine tortures her for the names of the Doctor's companions so he can abduct them. She gives him the names of people who together have the skill sets needed to break out. She also sends him to face her gun wielding past self in a mission to collect Katarina, which not only distracts him long enough for the Eighth Doctor's companions to escape their cells, but Katarina ends up psychically assaulting him into unconsciousness]].
851* RummageSaleReject: He goes around dressed like a particularly fabulous pirate, and loves dresses as well.
852* StickyFingers: Right from the moment he first regenerates. He acknowledges it in ''Companion Piece'':
853 -->"I've existed for only a few hours and stealing is literally all I've done! I'm starting to think it might be a thing."
854* TeethClenchedTeamwork: For a while, the Nine had a "companion" in the form of Thana, the last of the Abway, a race who could only die of natural causes. However, while Thana shared the Nine's interest in the rare, she soon realised that he was too ruthless for her to keep travelling with him, and [[spoiler:assited the Fourth Doctor in thwarting his current plan]].
855* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: In ''Dreams of Avarice'', the Nine decides to "steal" the entire planet Luxuriana because it has so many beautiful buildings on it that he can't decide which one to steal first.
856
857!!The Ten
858
859* HypnoticEyes: His specialty, being much stronger in mesmerism techniques than his other incarnations, or other Time Lords in general.
860* SpareAMessenger: After using his hypnotic powers to manipulate an entire squad of Gallifreyan soldiers into killing each other, he makes sure that one is left alive to tell the Time Lords about what he had done.
861
862!!The Twelve
863-> '''Voiced by:''' Julia [=McKenzie=] (2018,2020)
864[[quoteright:249:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/12.PNG]]
865
866
867The first known female incarnation of the collective and notably much more stable and in control than her prior selves. The Eleven regenerated into her at the very end of "Ravenous 4", and she is first encountered by the Eighth Doctor and Bliss in "Time War 2".
868----
869* AffablyEvil: Even more affable than Five, and her evilness is far more ambiguous than any of her previous incarnations. While she has her moments of callousness she is perfectly polite to the Doctor and Bliss and never even kills anything that isn't a Dalek.
870** Even her rampage through the Citadel in ''Dreadshade'' doesn't actually kill anyone, though she causes a few regenerations.
871* CoolOldLady: Effortlessly keeps up with the Doctor's wit, pokes more than her share of fun at him and is generally much more fun to be around than her previous selves.
872* GenderBender: The only female incarnation after 11 previous male bodies.
873* NeverMessWithGranny: The least physically imposing of all her incarnations, she is still more than capable of escaping prisons and wreaking havoc on those who get in her way.
874* NotSoStoic: She certainly has a much easier time handling the voices of her past incarnations than her past selves, but moments of high stress can still bring them to the forefront of her mind.
875* OnlySaneMan: She claims to be a benevolent incarnation like the Eight. She may not be telling the full truth (she certainly lacks the Eight's guilt over his past actions) but she's [[PragmaticVillainy smart enough]] not to let any of her nastier urges get in the way of helping win the Time War which is a stark contrast to the destructive recklessness of most of her male predecessors.
876
877!!The Union
878-> '''Voiced by:''' Maureen O'Brien (2023)
879
880The final incarnation of this Time Lord, perhaps the most dangerous of them all. After lifetimes of hearing the others in her head she’s more determined than ever to be cured and subject every other member of her race to an even more painful condition: degeneration.
881----
882* BigBad: Of ''Once and Future'', she [[spoiler: is the one responsible for The Doctor and the Master’s degeneration though she doesn’t make an appearance until the last story.]]
883* IHatePastMe: Even more so than usual. While The others don’t get along, she outright refuses to acknowledge the other numbers. [[spoiler: She actually risks her own existence by kidnapping the Two and subjecting him to a FateWorseThanDeath because she’s that disgusted by their condition.]]
884* MeaningfulRename: She calls herself the Union, not the Thirteen, as she is a combination of all of her predecessors.
885** The arrogance of the Four.
886** The insanity of the Six.
887** The combined intelligence of the Seven and Eleven.
888** The greed of the Nine (though she’s only obsessed with diamonds).
889** The general appearance of the Twelve (an old woman active during the Time War), and thanks to her collecting degeneration energy to stabilize herself, even more control than the Twelve or the Eight.
890
891[[/folder]]
892
893[[folder: Doom Coalition]]
894!! Doom Coalition
895
896A group of Time Lords who looked into the Matrix and foresaw the destruction of Gallifrey in every single possible timeline. Wishing to prevent this, they [[spoiler: seek out the destruction of the rest of the universe]] as, according to the Matrix, that is the only way Gallifrey could survive.
897
898!![[spoiler: Padraculoma III "Padrac"]]
899-> '''Voiced by:''' [[spoiler: Robert Bathurst]] (2015-2017)
900
901* BadassBureaucrat: Mentions in his first episode that [[spoiler: he's effectively deputising for the President. Becomes sinister later on when its revealed that he's adopted so many little duties and responsibilities over the years that he's been able to appoint his lackies to all circles of power meaning he's able to stage a coup in ''Songs of Love'' with ease]].
902* BigBad: Of the Doom Coalition arc, after initially [[spoiler: presenting himself as the BigGood]].
903* BullyingADragon: [[spoiler: Leaving the Eleven to die might seem like this but technically he completely gets away with it as the Eleven never reaches him, although he is unsettled when he thinks the Eleven has found him but it is really the Doctor in disguise]].
904** [[spoiler: When Caleera finds out he was responsible for the misery of her early life that plus his continued emotional abuse cause her to turn on him. He actually had allowed for this possibility but he didn't allow for Caleera giving her powers to Helen Sinclair, allowing her to exact her revenge by proxy. And later, [[FateWorseThanDeath in person]]]].
905* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: His relationship with [[spoiler: Caleera]] is clearly emotionally abusive given how thoroughly broken she was when they first met [[spoiler: which he had arranged for]] and he continues to undermine her and assert his power, using the fact she is in love with him (one sided) to his advantage. [[spoiler: Knowing all the while that his plan will result in her death]].
906* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Invoked when the Doctor, Liv and Helen work to escape his trap, as the TARDIS crew realise that [[spoiler: Padrac]] can't comprehend the idea that anyone put themselves at risk for a chance at escape.
907* [[spoiler: EvilFormerFriend]]: [[spoiler: Naturally he was at the Academy with the Doctor. Having also met the Master, Liv is deeply unimpressed]].
908* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: At first it seems merely that he's going to be put on ice but then the remains of Caleera, now the Red Lady, find him. She merely killed her previous victims but [[NothingIsScarier whatever]] she plans on doing with Padrac will not be so swift and despite being frozen he is going to be conscious for all of it]].
909* NothingPersonal: Unlike the Eleven [[spoiler: he has no grudge towards the Doctor but he has no qualms about seeing him dead if it means getting his way]].
910* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler: Padrac]] at least considers himself this, as he is acting to protect Gallifrey, but the fact that he's doing this by destroying everything else in the universe prevents the Doctor considering himself such.
911* PragmaticVillainy: The embodiment of this, in contrast to the mania of the Master or the Eleven he sets about his plan in a considered fashion. The Doctor even decribes him as 'too boring to be evil'.
912* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler: He's in Doom Coalition from the very beginning but it's not until the end of part 3 of 4 that his status as the BigBad is revealed making it hard to talk about him without giving the game away]].
913* WhamLine:
914--> [[spoiler: "When did you realise I was working with the Eleven?"]]
915* XanatosGambit: Allowed for everything in his plans from the presence of the Doctor and even [[spoiler: the fact that Caleera might betray him. The latter was especially impressive as she is powerful enough to destroy worlds, the one thing he didn't account for was that she might transfer her power to someone else]].
916
917!!The Sonomancer/[[spoiler: Caleera/The Red Lady]]
918-> '''voiced by:''' [[spoiler: Caroline Langrishe]] (2015) Emma Cunniffe (2016-2017)
919
920* AntiVillain: Has a pretty hefty FreudianExcuse [[spoiler: which it turns out was engineered by the true villain to get her on his side]] and [[spoiler: spends her final moments trying to make amends, especially with Helen]].
921* [[spoiler: CameBackWrong]]: She mentions [[spoiler: before she dies that a part of her might remain, scattered through time and space. It turns out she became the Red Lady, a creature that lives in art and kills the onlooker]].
922* EarlyBirdCameo: [[spoiler: The monstrous Red Lady which features in the second episode of the arc is revealed to have been her in the last scene of the finale]].
923* FieryRedhead / EvilRedhead: Has the fiery temperament (once she has overcome her self doubt) and is part of a conspiracy to [[spoiler: destroy everything outside of Gallifrey]]. Being an audio character, her hair colour comes up when she is jealous of River Song for the attention she gets from [[spoiler: Padrac]] and River remarks that green is normally a good look for a redhead.
924** [[spoiler: Turns out to have been foreshadowing for TheReveal of her as the Red Lady as, even in that form, people took note of what striking red hair she had]].
925* ItsAllAboutMe: She has had a terrible life but that in no way excuses the seeming delight she takes in destroying worlds [[spoiler: and wanting to do the same to everywhere except Gallifrey]]. Her turning against the idea seems less motivated by conscience and more by anger that [[spoiler: Padrac manipulated her early years to thoroughly break her self-esteem so she would be more pliable and not to mention the fact that her using her powers on such a massive scale will KILL HER]].
926** [[spoiler: Her actions as the Red Lady would seem so reinforce this given they take place after her supposed redemption, she kills who knows how many people just so she can find and torment Padrac. Of course, given the splintered nature of her existence in said state it's unclear how responsible she can be said to be, or even if she's aware that when she 'looks' at people it kills them]].
927* LoveMakesYouEvil: Her lifetime of abuse led to her fixating on [[spoiler: Padrac]] after he 'rescues' her. She continually refers to him as 'my love', unaware that he doesn't reciprocate, causing her become complicit in his plan to [[spoiler: destroy everything]].
928* MalevolentMaskedWoman: The [[spoiler: Red Lady wears a mask, apparently it's hideous. As she gets closer to her victims she reaches to take the mask off and apparently whatever's underneath is [[NightmareFace even worse]]]].
929** "Stop the Clock" reveals that [[spoiler: the mask was actually the helm of the resonance engine which was to harness her power. Padrac notes that it covers her face. When confronted with her as the Red Lady he makes this connection between screaming in horror]].
930* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: [[spoiler: When she learns that Padrac was responsible for all the repression and dismissal that thoroughly destroyed her sense of self-worth in her early life she is angry enough to hunt the universe for him and ultimately subject him to a FateWorseThanDeath]].
931* NotSoDifferentRemark: Invokes this [[spoiler: as part of her WoundedGazelleGambit]] with Helen, noting that they're both brilliant women that have been held back by societies that refuse to grant them any oppertunities.
932** [[spoiler: She does it again in ''Stop the Clock'' but this time she is being completely sincere. She even ends up giving Helen her powers so she can save the day]].
933* OmnicidalManiac: She seems frothing at the bit to [[spoiler:'put the universe to the sword', though this is likely a result of Padrac's manipulations as she doesn't really care about it once she realises he was the one who ruined her life to begin with]].
934* [[spoiler: RedemptionEqualsDeath]]: Her last act [[spoiler: as a complete being]] is to give Helen her powers so she can use them to stop [[spoiler: Padrac]].
935* SuperScream: She's an extremely powerful psychic, even by Gallifreyan standards, but the power that gives her her title is her destructive song which can resonate planets apart. [[spoiler:Or, if done at the exact right moment of alignment, the whole universe]].
936* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: An interesting example as [[spoiler: her life was manipulated by Padrac specifically to turn her into this]].
937* WoundedGazelleGambit: [[spoiler: Is pulling one for most of "Scenes From Her Life", the flashbacks to her miserable past on Gallifrey reinforce this for the audience. Then it's revealed that she is actually in charge and the one who is destroying planets]].
938
939!!The Clocksmith
940-> '''voiced by:''' Nicholas Woodeson (2016)
941
942* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler: The first member of the Coalition to die]] ironically he was also the last to be introduced [[spoiler: Padrac having been introduced in the first episode even if he was not revealed as a member until the episode after the Clocksmith's death]].
943* KarmicDeath: The Solvers that he had enslaved to act as his minions [[spoiler: are able to turn on him when their Queen arrives and breaks his influence. They proceed to kill him thoroughly enough he can't even regenerate]].
944* MadArtist: The kind that makes statues by dousing people in molten metal.
945* SmallRoleBigImpact: He fashions the Doomsday Chronometer [[spoiler: which calculates the moment when every celestial body will be in alignment so the Sonomancer will be able to destroy the whole universe]]. Also he [[spoiler: kills Octavian prompting his regeneration into the Nine]]. Even [[spoiler: after he dies the Doctor gets a lot of mileage out of disguising himself as him and even purloins his Tardis. [[StickyFingers The Nine]] then ALSO steals it and is using it as far later as Ravenous 3 prompting him to get namedropped nearly three years after he has been killed]].
946* WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler: Doom coalition is 16 hours long and he only appears in two of them before promptly dying]].
947

950[[folder: Cardinal Ollistra]]
951!! Cardinal Ollistra
952[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ollistra.jpg]]
953-> '''Voiced By:''' Creator/JacquelinePearce (2015–2018), Carolyn Pickles (2017-present)
954
955The High Council member in charge of securing a decisive Gallifreyan victory during the Time War, and she's desperate to secure it at ''any'' cost, which puts her in constant conflict with the War Doctor.
956----
957* AnachronicOrder: A younger incarnation shows up in "Doom Coalition 4", who's notably more pacifist then her future self. It is only out of order from an out of universe perspective-the younger Ollistra interacts with the younger Eighth Doctor.[[spoiler: She's killed by the Eleven and she regenerates into the aggressive, hard-nosed tactician who won't go down without a fight. However, in ''Gallifrey: War Room'' this incarnation returns as a Matrix projection.]]
958* AntiVillain: She wants to destroy the Daleks and end the Time War... but she doesn't care what damage may happen to the rest of the universe as a result.
959* ControlFreak: At one point she tries to ‘control’ the War Doctor with a SlaveCollar in the form of an artron leash that causes him pain if she triggers it or he goes too far from her presence.
960* EvilCanNotComprehendGood: She tries and fails to get the War Doctor to see things her way.
961* FaceDeathWithDignity: During the battle of Beltox, when it looks like she and the locals are going to die, she calmly says they should make their death "legendary."
962* HeWhoFightsMonsters: In fighting the Daleks, Ollistra's methods are rather similar to those of the Daleks. She's only nominally better in that the Time Lords are trying to keep the universe together... for the moment.
963* IDidWhatIHadToDo: When confronted with her actions, she reminds people that there is a ''war'' to fight.
964* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: With every instalment her plans to end the war get more insane and desperate.
965* ManipulativeBitch: She gets the War Doctor to do her dirty work for her by pulling a little bit of reverse psychology.
966* PetTheDog: In spite of her less than agreeable mindset, she does have an understanding on how to keep morale up in the times of war, even the War Doctor. She takes him to Keska [[spoiler:long after the turmoil has ended, the planet and its people renewed and at peace, even pointing out that his friend Rejoice had become a symbol of peace and avoiding mentioning if she had died taking a stabbing for him]]. They're token efforts, smattered with more of her affirmations of the war, but it does paint her efforts greyer than they'd otherwise be.
967* PutOnABus: For the latter parts of the Eighth Doctor's "Time War" series she is said to be dealing with important war matters elsewhere, due to Creator/JacquelinePearce's death and the fact that her incarnation interacted with the War Doctor, preventing them from simply regenerating Ollistra. Her general role in the story is taken up by her second-in-command, Major Tamasan, whose new regeneration is a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute for Ollistra.
968* TeethClenchedTeamwork: With the War Doctor, mainly due to the insane amount of collateral damage her plans involve.
969* VillainousBreakdown: Every time the War Doctor foils one of her insane plans, the next one is even more despicable than the last.
970* WeHaveReserves: She sacrifices countless soldiers in a series of insane gambits and experiments to find ways to finally end the war.
971* WellIntentionedExtremist: Well, she does want to destroy the Daleks, her methods however...
972[[/folder]]
