Death (mythology)

Death was an Eternal and was one of the gods of Gallifrey. As such she represented and embodied Death itself.

Early in life, during the youth of his first incarnation, the Doctor killed Torvic. He made a deal with Death. Rather than having Death make him her champion, Death would choose another Time Lord, later known as the Master. However, the Doctor would later forget about this encounter. (AUDIO: Master)

Death appeared to the Doctor when he returned to the House of Lungbarrow. (PROSE: Lungbarrow)

At some point, the Doctor made a deal with Death, to give the Master a new start in life as a good and honest man for ten years, feeling guilty for how he turned out. However, after the ten years, it was agreed he would have to kill the Master.

When the ten years expired, Death sent the Doctor to Perfugium, where "John Smith" was living. Taking on the identity of John Smith's maid, Jade, Death tormented the Doctor, John Smith and his friends. This led to one of his friends, Victor Schaeffer, killing his own wife, and John's love, Jacqueline. When the Doctor couldn't go through with killing John, he realised his significance in creating the Master, and turned him into Death's Champion, by making his original deal with Death.

He constructed a new deal with Death, so that he wouldn't have had to kill John, but to kill an innocent person in the place of an assassin (who was just a disguise of Death again), but couldn't go through with that deal either. Death also made a deal with John Smith that to remain as John Smith, he had to decide whether he would make the Doctor Death's Champion, or if he would kill Victor so that Jacqueline would stay alive, but become the Master again. It is still unknown what his decision was. (AUDIO: Master)
