Aliases of the Master

Like the Doctor, the renegade formerly known as Koschei has employed a number of aliases in the course of his career. However, while the Doctor tends to use false names on a fairly ad hoc basis in order to avoid awkward questions, the Master usually adopts them in order to further whatever scheme he is currently embarked upon.

The Adjudicator (Martin Jurgens)
Used by the the same incarnation when posing as an Adjudicator (strangely enough). (DW: Colony in Space)

Professor Yana

Harold Saxon
A Human alias adopted by his next incarnation, in which form he had himself elected as British Prime Minister (DW: The Sound of Drums/Last of the Time Lords). It should be noted that 'Mister Saxon' is an anagram of 'Master No Six' and John Simm, who played this incarnation of the Master, was the sixth actor to portray the character.
