Characteristics
Appearance
Sabbath is bulky and muscular (however his body is shifting towards the other side of overweight). He keeps his head almost shaved, a very thin layer of hair away from totally shaved. (EDA: The Adventuress of Henrietta Street)
Personality
Sabbath is (generally) opposed to chaos and believes that unauthorised time travel creates parallel universes, which in turn threatens reality. (EDA: Camera Obscura)
Psychological profile
- Sabbath is at least confident in his mental abilities, aided by the Doctor's (black) second heart he survives a journey into Death's realms. (EDA: Camera Obscura)
- He is incredibly stubborn.
- He dislikes beings who lord their powers over other beings (including the Doctor), rather then this being a result of an inferiority complex, it's more likely to be because of his strong sense of social justice.
Habits and quirks
- When adopting pseudonyms, they are often variations upon his chosen name of Sabbath (making him much like the Master in that regard).
- Although he has an outward disregard for his agents, he is fiercely loyal to them (on the proviso that they're loyal to him in return).
- He shaves his head, not as a political statement or an attempt to intimidate people, but as a way of saving time and energy in relation to personal grooming.
- Many of his clothing choices echo the Doctor's (wearing a linen suit for example after adopting the role of Time's Champion).

Alternate Versions
- Sabbath also existed in at least one alternate timeline where he apparently knew the Doctor by reputation (but not face). (EDA: The Domino Effect)
- In the timeline where the "War in Heaven" is still being waged, Sabbath became a member of Faction Paradox, rather then becoming an agent of beings attempting to replace the Time Lords. He is also used as an agent of the "Great Houses" (aka the Time Lords) to hunt Justine (aka Grandfather Paradox). His personality is similar to that in the regular time line.
