The Twenty-Ninth Master

General
"The Master" — known at times by various other aliases — was a renegade Time Lord, a power-hungry "lover of chaos" who served as both a friend and an opponent of the Doctor.

Friends from childhood and schoolmates at the Time Lord Academy, the divide between the Master's lust for power and the Doctor's empathy for lesser species would eventually pull the two farther and farther apart — to the point that the Master often sought to kill the Doctor. Despite this enmity, however, the two would on occasion act as allies, and both continued to yearn for their old friendship.

Like the Doctor, the Master fled from Gallifrey in a TARDIS of his own, and, having fully embraced his darker nature, would go on to pit himself against the Doctor and UNIT on many occasions. Having expended his original regeneration cycle, the Master survived in the ghastly form of a living cadaver, for some time, before exploiting the powers of the Source on Traken to steal the body of Tremas. He would continue his crusade to submit the universe to his will in a variety of stolen or otherwise-fraudulent bodies, from using Tzun nanites in order to gain new regenerations, to transferring his essence into a Deathworm Morphant, which allowed him to survive execution by the Dalek Prelature, and continue to survive by possessing a succession of human bodies.

Born Again
Following a faulty resurrection by the Disciples of Saxon, the 28th Master used the Immortality Gate to create the Master Race and attempted to free Gallifrey from the time lock of the Last Great Time War, but instead entered the last day of the war to get revenge on Rassilon.

After Gallifrey returned to the universe, the Master was no longer needed on Gallifrey, and intern, was killed by Mass Extermination by captured Daleks. But, the 28th Master was able to hold on, and intern, fled to the safety of his TARDIS. Once he arrived, he regenerated into the 29th Master (Keith Chopping)

The First Strike
Now within the confines of his TARDIS, the 29th Master piloted away from Gallifrey. After years of roaming, destruction across many planets, and even arriving within the Second Time War, the 29th Master finally arrived on planet Earth in 2018. With destruction on his mind, and knowing fine well that the Doctor would soon arrive here, he spent the next two years going through the ranks of UNIT officials, until finally he was in charge.

UNIT
Arriving on Earth in the 21st Century at the end of 2018; New Years Day. From here, he took on the name of Thomas Blake, and spent multiple years making his way through the chain of command at UNIT to become it's had Operative. He managed to use his mind control powers, though weak, to fool many people into believing he was indeed human, and intern was able to steal the Architect's cane.

Appearance
Commonly, this version of the Master wears a modernistic, premium quality, slim fitting, three Piece black Suit with button closure for a professional look. which includes a jacket, waistcoat, vest and pants and commonly no tie. The jacket he wears has two-button front closure, dual side vents, a front side pocket and inside pocket, and fully lined interior. The pants are slim fitting, with a flat front, zip fly with hook-and-button closure, open-back pockets, and are tailored to his exact measurements. As well as this, his waistcoat that sports the common black shade, has two front facing pockets, is also slim fitting, and claims a chain within one of the pockets. this is much tighter than a standard regular waistcoat and has a more modern look to it.

Normally this incarnation of the Master carries The Architect's Cane, which is owned by the Architect, and was previously stolen from UNIT's Black Archive, acquired after the 29th Master killed the 3rd Architect.

Personality
Despite the hostility/rivalry the latter maintains toward the Doctor, the Master does care for the Doctor, but shies away from these feelings. The 29th Master is a calculating, yet psychotic, individual with an exceptional degree of self-control. Although, in many cases, he introduces a flair for drama, and an angered nature. In tandem with his high intelligence, his self-confidence and mental resilience, which remain inhumane, the Master is practically immune to the Doctor's probing of his intelligence and is able to resist hypnotism, reprogramming from another individual, despite their intelligence.

However, he is not above childish, and petty, antics, or arguments, nor his lust for power. The Master is shown to be much more capable of faking or maintaining a degree normalcy, though he is cold and unforgiving. Informing the Doctor that caring is not an advantage, but a disadvantage. This version of the Master is still known to be insane and inhuman, yet observing and calculating.

The Master is very lonely and isolated, as the Master has no allies or friends, and believes that everyone is below his standard of intelligence. The Master works to keep his mind sharp, but is not physically weak. The Master is cold and unsympathetic, he is impulsive, and has a massive intellect. he is manipulative, and despite his care for the Doctor, he was prepared to kill him without a second thought. This version of the Master shows a severe dislike to the Doctor for his experiences in the Vault, and sees this as an outrage, and unforgivable.

Abilities

 * Genius-Level Intellect: The Master is immensely intelligent and possess incredible analytical and deduction abilities that surpass even the Doctor. He is the second most intelligent person on the Earth. However, while The Master's intellect was professionally referred to as remarkable, he is still not quite as smart as The Architect, who was deemed to be an era defining genius.
 * Deduction: The Master's powers of deduction are extremely high, surpassing even that of The Doctor. At one point, he and The Doctor have a deduction battle and he wins.
 * Mental Resistance: Due to The Master's inhumanly intelligent mind, he possesses extremely strong mental resistance and, coupled with his confidence, he is practically immune to even The Doctor's mind probing. Due to his ability to manipulate others instantly, he was able to manipulate even a mind as strong as the Architect.
 * Deception: Though not a skill he enjoys or prefers using much, The Master proved to be an excellent deceptionist.
 * Hypnotism: Although both the Doctor and the Master have both been shown to be skilled hypnotists, the Master's capacity to hypnotise has been shown to dominate, through stare and voice alone. The Master is often able to anticipate the Doctor's moves, where he plans elaborate traps for the Doctor, only revealing his presence at the key moment. The Master is also able to send a false premonition as a telepathic message to the Doctor, but it is unclear whether he performs this through innate psychic ability, or was aided technologically. In "The End of Time" the Master is able to use a kind of psychic technique, previously used by the Doctor to read the minds of others, allowing the Doctor to hear the constant 'drumming' inside the Master's mind, this ability has passed onto his successors.
