Where he fits in, we do not know. He may have ended the Time War. He may have done something that prompted the Doctor to flee Gallifrey. He may be The Other, or a variation on that character, who was intended to be introduced in the late 80s before the show was cancelled.
Interestingly, however, if he is an incarnation of the Time Lord we call the Dcotor, that individual no longer has two regenerations left, but one. Probably. |
Surely he must be a future regeneration of the doctor, as all the past regenerations are accounted for?
The doctors are listed numerically, by the producers of the show.
Unless as previously mentioned he is the aged version of Paul McGann as we never saw him regenerate, so we don't know how old he looked when he finally regenerated.
