The Master was one of the major villains in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who and one of the few men almost as smart as the main character, the Doctor. Like the Doctor, he is a renegade Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey. The difference between them is the Doctor explores the universe, the Master tries to take it over. His original goal in life was to be the ruler on the universe and destroy the Doctor. His vessel was a TARDIS that could change its form to look like any surrounding. The TARDIS can travel both time and space. The master has the ability to control minds and can create various weapons including a weapon that can turn people into dolls, killing them (also humiliating them). The Character was played by the British actors Roger Delgado, Peter Pratt, Geoffrey Beevers, and Anthony Ainley.

Time Lords can regenerate twelve time every time they are critically injured, but the Master was on his last regeneration. So after Roger Delgado role as the master, the master’s goal changed. His new goal was to keep himself alive at all cost and to even gain immortality. He would do anything for this cause, even destroy an entire planet. Now that’s evil and not to mention a bit selfish.

The master was sly and suave but still manipulative, murderous, and mad (both pissed and mad as in an evil mad scientist). The ability to be both evil and charming is a quality of a great villain. Another reason the master is cool is that he could go toe to toe against the Doctor in a battle of wits. Like I said earlier, not too many people in the universe can do that.

Character flaws, Anthony Ainley’s Master was a bit over the top in being the mad scientist (a bit too much “Whahahahahahaha!”). Also, only fans of the series have really heard of him. As you can see, I know fans of the series.
