Other Timelords

The Master - The Master is the Doctor's archnemesis. He was always the Doctor's worse enemy who followed through time and space. The Master was played by several people through the many years.

Roger Delgado - portrayed the Doctor's arch-nemesis, the Master, from the beginning of Terror of the Autons (1971) until his untimely death in 1973. His final story is Frontier in Space (1973).

Peter Pratt and Geoffrey Beevers - portrayed two decimated incarnations of the Master. Pratt was the Master in The Deadly Assassin (1976) while Beevers was briefly seen as the even more emaciated Time Lord in The Keeper of Traken (1981).

Anthony Ainley - portrayed Tremas in The Keeper of Traken (1981) and, because Tremas' body is seized by the Master, Ainley continued to play that part until the end of Survival (1989).

Eric Roberts - portrayed the Doctor's arch-nemesis the Master in the made-for-television movie Doctor Who (1996).

Derek Jacobi - portrayed the Master as Professor Yana in the new series in the episode "Utopia". He is in hiding until Martha Jones accidently helps him focus on the old broken watch that contains the Time Lord essence. When he opens the watch, he becomes the Master once more. Chantho mortally wounds him and he regenerates into a new carnation.

John Simm - portrayed the Master as Harold Saxon in the episode "The Sound of the Drums" and "Last of the Time Lords". The Master dies towards the end of the episode "Last of the Time Lords" and the Doctor cremates him on a pyre.

The Rani - The Rani was a renegade Timelord, a evil scientific genius whos mindset treats everything as secondary to her research. She's been known to enslave entire planets just so she would have a whole world full of subjects for her experiments. She was exiled from Gallifrey after a bad experiment in which the lab mice grew to a very large size and ate the President's cat. The Doctor and the Rani are about the same age. She appeared in "The Mark of the Rani" and "Time and the Rani". The Rani was portrayed by Kate O'Mara in both episodes.

The Valeyard - The Valeyard was a Timelord from Gallifrey who took great pleasure to put the Doctor on trial for his "conduct unbecoming a Time Lord" and transgressing the First Law of Time. The Valeyard was the prosecutor and was in all four episodes of "Trial of the Time Lord". The Valeyard went so far as to falisify the records of the Matrix. The Master has even implied that the Valeyard is the thirteeth regeneration.

Romana - Romona was sent by the White Guardian to assist the Doctor during the quest for "The Key To Time". At first she appeared rather full of herself for she received more academic achievements than the Doctor, but soon she appreciates his experience. She is only female Timelord companion to travel with the Doctor thoiugh Susan Foreman, the Doctor's granddaughter, also traveled with the Doctor but it was never said if she was a timelord.

Mary Tamm - portrayed the first incarnation of the "Time Lord Romana Romanadvoratrelundar)" from the beginning of "The Ribos Operation" (1978) through the end of "The Armageddon Factor" (1979).

Lalla Ward - portrayed the Princess Astra in "The Armageddon Factor" (1979), a likeness chosen to be the second incarnation of the Time Lord Romana (Romanadvoratrelundar) from the beginning of "Destiny of the Daleks" (1979) through the end of "Warriors' Gate" (1981).
