"The Doctor" a title embodying their promise to the universe, was the main alias used by a mysterious traveller of both space and time, seemingly a renegade Time Lord from Gallifrey of the Alpha Doon'kin Universe. The Doctor adventured with numerous companions in an obsolete and "borrowed" Type 40 TARDIS. They were "the Doonkin universe's greatest defender", having saved the cosmos thousands of times across an extensive long life, becoming a legend throughout his home universe, and a complicated space-time event of unparalleled complexity.
Though largely a believer in a more pacifistic resolution rather than violence, they were, when absolutely necessary, a great warrior. Indeed, some civilisations in his home universe whilst others saw the Doctor as a compassionate benefactor, worthy of their admiration and compassion. Although the Doctor had saved untold number of worlds and people, as the Champion of Life, even in darkness, the Doctor was thought to have caused the deaths of billions at the end of the Last Great Time War, as well as countless others before and after, when available options were limited and others were caught in the crossfire.
Though most of the Daleks were destroyed on the final day of the Time War, most accounts of those final moments held that Gallifrey was hidden, rather than being burned, through the combined efforts of at least thirteen, possibly all of, the Doctor's incarnations, the first eleven of whom retained no memory of the event. For their actions, the Time Lords granted the Doctor a new regeneration cycle, allowing them to live on after using up all twelve available regenerations in their first cycle.
The Doctor's personal history was constantly changing and contradicting itself. Their early life and their true species were matters of much contention, in part due to shifting timelines. The Doctor's own memories were unclear regarding their early life and origins, and several accounts even suggested that they had non-Gallifreyan origins, either human or of an unknown species.
According to another account, the Doctor was originally "the Timeless Child", a being from an unknown realm, which possibly lay within another universe. The Child was discovered by the First Tecteun early in Gallifreyan history, and had a natural ability to regenerate, which Tecteun studied and eventually replicated. Eventually the Shobogan race, Tecteun's people, became Time Lords, and the origin of regeneration was covered up by the Founding Fathers of Gallifrey in favour of a "noble creation myth" instead. Indeed, it was Tecteun themself who ordered that the Doctor's memories be redacted after their service to the Division was complete, which resulted in the Doctor being unaware of their true nature, and in Time Lord civilisation being built on a lie.
From the latter years of their first incarnation onward, the Doctor had a pronounced affinity for Earth and the human race. After departing Gallifrey, they voluntarily chose to spend time on Earth, choosing it as the place of exile for most of the doctor's third incarnation. The Doctor favoured Great Britain in particular, frequently returning, and finding many of their companions there. Later on, the Doctor thought of being as his Earth's protector. Even before the disappearance of Gallifrey, the Doctor spent much more time on Alpha Doon'kin Earth than on Galifrey, as "home from home".
Despite the varying personality traits of each incarnation, the Doctor always retained "a bit of adrenaline, a dash of outrage and a hint of panic", which helped define who they were, and a questionable fashion sense according to many, along with the promise of sticking to everything that their name stood for: duty, compassion, and resourcefulness.
Throughout the Doctor's life, danger follows, by their own admission. They spent much of their time bounding from one place to another, with "all of time and space" to explore, solving problems with whatever was at hand, making friends and enemies, and rarely looking back, always having an eye on their next destination. There have been occasions that the Doctor has travelled beyond the Alpha Doon'kin Universe and travelled to parallel universes and E-Space.

Notes[]
- Given a possible information on the so-called "Timeless Child" Whether this is the Doctor or perhaps a descendant is uncertain, there may be some theories of the Timeless Child's species and origins:
- One theory they could be the Ancient humans or perhaps an offshoot that developed the ability of regeneration.
