Lucy Saxon

"Till death do us part, Harry!"

- Lucy's last words

Lucy Saxon was the wife of Harold Saxon. She was the youngest child of Lord Cole.

Early Life
Lucy was born with the maiden name Cole, she was the daughter of Lord Cole. How Lucy met the Master is unknown, and it is most likely she knew who he really was. She however, did not stop the Master from trying to take over the world. She appeared beside him in the press and in photos. Following the Master's appointment as Prime Minister, Lucy was interviewed by Vivien Rook. Vivien Rook walked into 10 Downing Street and after pushing pass Tish Jones, she claimed that she was here for an interview with Lucy. When Tish was gone, Vivien tried to convice Lucy about Harold Saxon: She claimed that Harold Saxon was a false identity, and that he is putting everyone, even Lucy in danger. When the Master appeared through a back door, Vivien tried to cover what she had stated about him, but she was killed by a Toclafane before she could leave. Lucy just simply laughed and said she loved Harold Saxon before Vivien died. (DW:The Sound of Drums)

The Year That Never Was
On the day of the Toclafane invasion, Lucy seemed well aware of the Master's true intent. His original claim was that the Human race was going to have it's first contact with alien life, and when President Winter took the speech and the Toclafane appeared, and killed him, Lucy showed no signs of fear or alarm, and remained calm through the entire duration of the events. She joined the Master on the bridge when the sky above the Valiant ripped open and the Doctor was aged. She seemed to enjoy the sight of the Toclafane flying down and killing one tenth of the Human race. (DW: The Sound of Drums)

Later Life
Not much is known what happened during The Year That Never Was, apart from the fact the Lucy grew tired of the Master and he had been physically abusing her. When the Master captured Martha Jones, the countdown timer was counting down to the rise of 'New Gallifrey' and the Toclafane invasion of the Galaxy. Unknown to anyone, the Doctor had 'merged' with the countdown so that he'd be resorted to his normal self so he could beat the Master. When the countdown reached zero, the world started to chant 'doctor', and soon Lucy joined in as well, and when the Master tried to escape, realising his plan had failed, Francine Jones tried to shoot him, but when The Doctor and Jack Harkness stopped her, Lucy herself took the gun and shot the Master dead. Soon after, Lucy was arrested and sent to Broadfell Prison. (DW: Last of the Time Lords/The End of Time)

Imprisonment and Revenge


On Christmas Eve night, 2010, Lucy was released from her cell by her prison's new Governor, and brought to the basement, where a group of the Master's loyal servants were implementing a ritual to restore him to life. One element of the ritual was the Master's bio-metric imprint, which was on Lucy's lips, left over from the times he had kissed her. To Lucy's horror, the ritual succeeded, and the partially-restored Master began draining his servants of their lifeforce. Before the Master's body was completely restored, Lucy revealed to her former husband that she had long been aware of the ritual, and had had her father's scientists develop an opposite to one of the life-restoring potions used in its creation. Lucy threw the potion at the Master, creating an explosion that ingulfed her in flames and leveled the entire prison, killing her and seemingly the inmates, The Master, however, survived due to his new abilities.

Other Information

 * The Master had been actively abusing Lucy, but for what reasons exactly remains unknown.
 * Lucy shows signs of Stockholm Syndrome.
 * When "Harold Saxon" states the government told Britain nothing about the exsitence of alien life, Lucy can briefly be seen crossing two of her fingers, forming the 'lie' sign.
 * Lucy reacts with what could almost be called bloodlust when she sees the Toclafane descend upon the Earth. This, combined with the character's strange nervousness seen at times, may hint that Lucy is mentally unstable; this could also explain why the Master chose Lucy to be his 'companion'.
