Welcome to Gaia! ::

I was just noticing that both the master and voldemorte had plans for domination, then had to put their original plans to the side to pursue plans of escaping final death.

plus they both use anagrams for names.

Actually, I remember the Master using other words that meant or referred to his being the Master as pseudonyms. Like Mr. Magister, The Adjudicator and the like.

Allthough, I did read once that the producers would sometimes hide the fact that the Master was going to be in an upcoming episode by using anagrams of the Actor's name. xd

Many villians have used pseudonyms and sought domination/immortality. I don't see that many parallels between Voldemort and the Master otherwise...those are pretty generic.

And the Master has been associated with anagrams but I can't think of any he's used as an alias besides Mister Saxon = Master no. 6 (but then I'm a 'New Who' fan and have mostly only seen since the 9th Doctor onwards) knowingly (spoiler: Yana wasn't picked by him to fit You Are Not Alone, since I don't think his human-self knew about the Face of Bo/Jack's words to the Doctor) . But I did know that actors playing him have been credited with aliases.

And wasn't Tremas already called Tremas? So that wasn't really a choice of his either, if so.

Also a Harry Potter fan but I'm still not seeing it really.




This bit that's bolded I took to mean ICly, Voldemort and the Master choose to use anagrams. Unless the Master influenced Tremas' parents to name him that or picked him because of his name...then ICly the master didn't use an anagram and it was coincidence (unlike the Mister Saxon one, which was IC, because he did choose it and I think he did that on purpose.

=D The writers OOCly did, yes, use an anagram with Tremas.

I know this isn't a similarity, it's just bugging me...

Roger Delgado is seen as the first Master, yes? But is that actually true? In the Patrick Troughton story The Mind Robber, the person controlling the Land Of Fiction is called the Master... so is he the true first Master? Here's the episode guide...
