Biography

File:11 to 12 regen.jpg

A new Doctor is born. (TV: The Time of the Doctor)

The Eleventh Doctor died of old age after spending centuries on Trenzalore, protecting the villagers of Christmas from those who were drawn there by a signal from Gallifrey. Despite having used all his regenerations, the Time Lords gave him more after granting an appeal for help from Clara Oswald.

Shortly after regenerating, this Doctor voiced his surprise at having new kidneys, and his inability to fly the TARDIS, much to the shock of Clara Oswald. (TV: The Time of the Doctor)

At some point in his travels, he joined his previous selves in helping place Gallifrey in a pocket universe at the end of the Last Great Time War. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)
