Talk:The War Chief

Is the name "War Chief" his daily, but not true name, like the Doctor or the Master, or was just a class name given to Magnus by the War Lords in the War Games? (Ceryu 14:30, July 2, 2010 (UTC))

Based on the other titles that people had, The War Lord for example, the name was probably more of a title given to him by the war lords.Icecreamdif 21:49, September 27, 2010 (UTC)

I think it's worth mentioning (in a behind the scenes box or whatever) that in the first appearance of the character 'Magnus' it's not made clear that this is in fact the War Chief - given the way the character is presented (both written, and drawn in a vaguely Delgado-esque way), the choice of name (Ma-), and the point of the story (clearly an important event in the lives of both Magnus and the Doctor and the origins of a significant feud between them), I think it's fairly clear that the *author's original intention* was that Magnus was the young Master and this was later retconned by others for reasons best known to themselves. Turning Magnus into the War Chief sort of renders 'Flashback' incomprehensible in that on-screen in The War Games there's no implication the Doctor and the War Chief had a close prior relationship.
