I've just had a trawl through the Panopticon archives and the archived talk pages for The Master and have been unable to find the original discussion about moving Delgado and Pratt to one incarnation. Regardless of what was said in previous years, this does really need looking at. I thought at the time that it was wrong to merge Delgado and Pratt, as Legacy of the Daleks gives no argument to whether Pratt and Delgado are the same incarnation, or even if they're not. The basis just seems to come from the fact that they both appeared in the same book! The book leaves a gap between Delgado holding the superweapon as Cousin Zagreus said, and Pratt being found on Terserus by Goth. That does leave a gap where Delgado could have tried regenerating, but doesn't state it, but neither does it state that no regeneration took place at all. At best we should be using Occam's Razor here and leaving Pratt/Beevers as a seperate incarnation to Delgado.
