Man with the rosette

The Man with the Rosette was an incarnation of the Master who survived the destruction of Gallifrey.

Biography
The Man with the Rosette travelled to Earth in the 18th century and sat with Scarlette in a pub during a brawl. He left before the Eighth Doctor arrived.

He later met Scarlette at the London docks, where he gave her a pair of rings for the Doctor's wedding. He attended the Doctor's wedding where he sat in the seat reserved for the Doctor's family. He did not interact with the other guests..

The Man later decided to meet the Doctor. As they stood on a hill, they talked about the state of the universe without Gallifrey in it. The Man told the Doctor that he would not fight him because there were only four Time Lords left in existence. He told the Doctor that Sabbath and his kind were now the future of the universe and quietly left.

The Man was present at the fall of the house on Henrietta Street, where he told Lisa-Beth that he was leaving and would go to sleep until the universe was ready for him again.

Many individuals impersonating the Doctor claimed that the Man had returned in an "unexpected capacity". However the meaning of this was never revealed. (EDA: The Adventuress of Henrietta Street)

The Man was later seen in a vision by the Doctor and Marnal as one of the last surviving Time Lords. (EDA: The Gallifrey Chronicles)
