The Eleventh Doctor was a capricious and adventurous incarnation of the renegade Time Lord known as the Doctor. According to the Moment, he so wished to put the days of the Last Great Time War behind him that he became "the man who forgot". However, by this point in his life, his reputation had grown immense, attracting a new strain of conflicts in place of the war. Wishing to withdraw from the dangers it created, he became a secretive and guileful individual for the sake of himself and those he held close.
Within minutes of his fiery regeneration, he began a long, multi-century war with the Silence that critically involved companions Amy Pond, Rory Williams and their daughter, River Song. Ultimately, the significant, but likely not total, defeat of the Silence required him to marry Song in a dubiously legal ceremony, but one that they both seemed to regard as genuine.
When River refused to become his permanent companion after the touch of a Weeping Angel robbed him of Amy and Rory, he retired to Victorian London and become an ex officio member of the "Paternoster Gang". During this period — which he called "the dark times" — he rediscovered a woman named Clara Oswald, whom he thought long dead; she once again died. Fascinated by this "impossible girl", he set off on to solve the mystery of her multiple lives, and take her on as his latest travelling companion.
It was, as he put it, "the only mystery worth solving". The Doctor later discovered he kept meeting Clara because she entered his timeline, scattering echoes of herself throughout his life to save him from the machinations of the Great Intelligence. He extracted her one, true self from his time stream.
He regenerated after succumbing to old age following a centuries-long battle with aliens on Trenzalore.
