Ninth Doctor (Scream of the Shalka)

The Ninth Doctor was the ninth incarnation of a Time Lord that went by the name of the Doctor.

Biography
The Doctor had been involved in circumstances which had led to the death of his previous companion. During these events, he also gave the Master a chance to redeem himself by somehow placing him in an android body confined to his TARDIS. The Doctor implied that something had happened to the Time Lords.

Arriving in the small Lancashire town called Lannet, seemingly against his own will, he cursed the unknown people he served, telling them "[he] won't do it". The melancholic Doctor met a barmaid Alison Cheney. Together, they fought to save the world, and won against the silicon-based Shalka. Afterwards, Alison left with the Doctor in the TARDIS.

The two, along with the android Master, shared at least one more adventure together, involving vampires. (NOTDWU: The Feast of the Stone)''

Characteristics
This Doctor was serious, and often angry, but wasn't averse to the odd bit of fun. He kept an android version of the Master in his TARDIS.

Habits and quirks

 * This Doctor was known to drink alcohol. (NOTDWU: The Feast of the Stone)
 * He carried a mobile phone, taken from a charging cradle hidden behind the telephone panel in the TARDIS' police box shell. Shaped like the TARDIS, the phone was in fact part of the TARDIS itself.
 * This Doctor displayed a fondness for singing, and had a repertoire of showtunes.
