Infinity Doctor

This incarnation of the Doctor was a member of the High Council on Gallifrey.

Biography
He had been married to Patience, whom he had lost years ago. He was born into the House of Lungbarrow. He had earnt the ire of a number of his peers, mostly because of his iconoclastic and eccentric nature, but also because of his socially progressive mindset. Through years of arguments and cowboy diplomacy the Doctor managed to get the Rutans and the Sontarans to sit down and discuss a ceasefire. Sadly, this met with stonewalling from both sides and opposition from the Time Lord Council necessitating the Doctor to take more radical actions in order to force a peace.

He easily formed friendships and maintained them despite his anarchical nature (one friend includes the Magistrate of the Citadel, the most senior lawman on Gallifrey). The Doctor taught at the Academy and inspired his students to think for themselves (again earning the ire of his colleagues).

The Doctor was also a figure mentioned in a number of prophecies. One such prophecy, maintained as law by the Watch, is that after certain events came to pass, the Doctor was to be killed for the greater good of Gallifrey.

The Doctor remembered a time when his mother had been present and he had looked up to the stars to see several ships. He had wanted to ask where they were going, but didn't. His mother had an old Bible, something that left such an impression on the Doctor that he remembered it centuries later in his life when he compared the pages of a menu Omega gave him to his mother's Bible.

When the Time Lords faced the Effect, the Doctor realised that he could use it to change the past and save his wife. He arrived on the Needle and encountered the Needle People. He went through the door which led to the anti-matter universe. There he found Omega and Patience. With the Doctor in the anti-matter universe and able to keep it in existence, Omega could return to the matter universe and possess a copy of the Doctor which had been created when the Doctor programmed a transmat bracelet not to destroy his original body when he was teleported. The Doctor was content to live in the anti-matter universe with Patience. However, he eventually returned to the matter universe to stop Omega, who was trying to gain control of the Eye of Harmony. The Doctor could leave the anti-matter universe because Omega had exposed the raw singularity in the Eye of Harmony, through which the Doctor could return to the matter universe. The Doctor brought his anti-singularity into contact with Omega's singularity, and Omega vanished. However, the Doctor had made up the concept of an anti-singularity, and didn't know what had happened to Omega.

Now the Doctor seemed to want to leave Gallifrey. (PDA: The Infinity Doctors)


 * It is possible that this was the young First Doctor, the Eighth Doctor or a future Doctor who had returned to Gallifrey (possibly the Eighth Doctor on the reconstructed Gallifrey after The Gallifrey Chronicles), or an alternate universe Doctor or alternate timeline Doctor. The notion that it is either the First or Eighth Doctor is supported by Lance Parkin's own website.

Appearance
The Doctor had a long oval face, an aristocratic nose, and a full mouth. He wore his hair close-cropped. He wore glasses, a battered cashmere jacket, pressed silk shirt and tailored tan trousers. He wore his old college scarf when greeting the Sontarans and Rutans on Gallifrey. (PDA: The Infinity Doctors)
