Revision as of 18:43, 23 March 2014
Like the Doctor, the renegade Time Lord known as the Master used many aliases. However, while the Doctor used false names on a fairly ad hoc basis to avoid awkward questions, the Master usually adopted them in order to further whatever scheme he was currently embarked upon.

Behind the scenes
- During Anthony Ainley's tenure as the Master, pseudonyms made from anagrams of 'Tony Ainley' were often used in the credits — both on-screen and in Radio Times — for the Master's disguises, such as Neil Toynay for the Portreeve in TV: Castrovalva.
- Another, craftier pseudonym was used in Radio Times for TV: The King's Demons, when Sir Gilles was listed as being played by 'James Stoker' — an anagram of 'Master's Joke'.
