the Master

One in charge

The Master is a title for someone with supreme authority or skill in a domain.

In religious contexts, it often refers to Jesus Christ or a spiritual teacher: The Master taught in parables.

In fiction, particularly Doctor Who, the Master is the Doctor's arch-nemesis—a renegade Time Lord.

The definite article elevates any master to singular, preeminent status: He studied under the Master himself.
