So, it's made clear, using the television show and the novelisations, that The Master was involved with The War Games. The War Chief and the Doctor were the only two renegade Time Lords at the time, the War Chief and the Doctor each stole a TARDIS. But then the Master and the Doctor were the only two renegade Time Lords during the same time, and the Master and the Doctor were the only two Time Lords to steal a TARDIS.

There's really only one way to interpret that. Even, as Scrooge MacDuck says, the ending of Timewyrm: Exodus (novel) shows that "Krigeslieter" has regenerated:


 * Ace saw, just for a second, a young man, tall, dark and satanically handsome, reaching up to her... The door closed, the TARDIS dematerialized, and they were gone.

What is interesting is that this was sued as "evidence" that 'the War Chief is not the Master' for years. Why? This is the same as those people who said(and some still do!) that "The War Chief is not the Master, because the War Chief and the Doctor don't recognise each other in The War Games". Which is completely contradicted by what actually happens in the story itself, where they absolutely do recognise each other. That is basically fandom myth. And that fandom myth not only contradicts the instant mutual recognition between the Doctor and the War Chief, it also completely contradicts what is in the OP.

Is there anything at all in an officially licensed Doctor Who(or Who-related) story that contradicts the statements made in the novelisations written by Hulke and Dicks?
