Fugitive Doctor
The Fugitive Doctor is an incarnation of the Doctor, the protagonist of the BBC science fiction television programme "Doctor Who". She is portrayed by the English actor Jo Martin, the first black person to play the role. It is currently unknown where this incarnation, who is encountered during the Thirteenth Doctor's (Jodie Whittaker) era, falls within the show's fictional chronology.

Within the programme's narrative, the Doctor is a Time Lord, from the planet Gallifrey. They travel in time and space in their time capsule, the TARDIS. Due to their alien physiology, the Doctor, when critically injured, can regenerate their body, gaining a new physical appearance and personality. This plot device has allowed a number of actors, both male and female, to portray the Doctor through the decades.

The Fugitive Doctor is a more ruthless incarnation implied to be from the Doctor's past, added to the show by head writer Chris Chibnall. She is first encountered on Earth, where she had hidden herself from the Time Lords, for whom she had been compelled to work in an unspecified capacity.
