Fan Casting The Monk

The character first appeared as an unnamed character who had disguised himself as a monk, and who was the possessor of a stolen Mark IV TARDIS which had a fully functioning camouflage unit.[4] The Doctor hypothesised that he left the Doctor's then-unnamed home planet,[1] some 50 years after the Doctor did.[4] At this early stage in the history of the series, the names Time Lord and Gallifrey, and the details of the Doctor's origins had not yet been devised.[
