The Master (Scream of the Shalka)



The Android Master (referred to as the Shalka Master) was an android body which contained the eseence of the Time Lord known as the Master. This body was limited to functioning within the TARDIS. The Master himself was less than happy with this arrangement, saying that it was 'an offer I was foolish enough to accept'. He also said that he 'was of aid to the Doctor after he had lost - during the events that so damaged him' (said events have not yet been detailed). This Master retained his charm and his wit, together with his hypnotic abilities (he attempted to hypnotise Alison Cheney, but was interrupted by the Doctor).

It is to be noted that he has similar vocal and physical characteristics to the canon Master, as he was in Utopia, disguised as Professor Yana. It is unclear if this is deliberate on the part of either the Doctor or the Master.
