Luigi Rossini


 * Other Rossinis are available.

Luigi Rossini was the manager of a circus in England. He was the first to encounter the Master when he arrived on Earth. Rossini came under the Master's control. Hypnotised, Rossini helped the Master steal the Nestene energy unit left over from the Nestene's first attempt at conquering Earth.

Eventually, Rossini commanded the circus to serve the Master and provided the clown costumes the Master needed to disguise the Autons, who would hand out plastic flowers that could be activated all at once, killing thousands of people across the country.

This plan failed when the Master helped the Third Doctor stop the Nestenes from materialising on Earth. It is unclear what happened to Rossini afterwards, although he was most likely taken into custody by UNIT. (DW: Terror of the Autons)
