The War Doctor[n 1] is an incarnation of the Doctor, the protagonist
of the BBC science fiction television programme Doctor Who. He was
portrayed by the English actor John Hurt. Although he precedes
Christopher Eccleston's Ninth Doctor in the show's fictional
chronology, his first onscreen appearance came eight years after
Eccleston's; the War Doctor was retroactively created by showrunner
Steven Moffat for productions celebrating the show's 50th
anniversary.Within the programme's narrative, the Doctor is a
centuries-old alien, a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey, who
travels in time and space in his TARDIS, frequently with companions.
When the Doctor is critically injured, he can regenerate his body, but
in doing so, gains a new physical appearance and with it, a distinct
new personality. This plot device has allowed a number of actors to
portray different incarnations of the Doctor over the show's long
run.The War Doctor, not so named within the episodes in which he
appears, is introduced as the incarnation of the Doctor who fought in
the Time War of the show's modern-day backstory. He was created as a
result of a conscious decision of the Eighth Doctor, played by Paul
McGann, to take up arms and become a warrior; in accepting this duty,
the War Doctor disowned the title of "Doctor", and after the war's end
is viewed with disdain by his subsequent incarnations, who reclaim the
title that the character is known by. In the 50th anniversary special
"The Day of the Doctor", however, the Eleventh Doctor played by Matt
Smith revises his opinion of this incarnation after revisiting the
final moments of the war. War Doctor Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
