 Scotsman.com News - Obituaries - Anthony Ainley
ANTHONY Ainley was a suave, handsome man with jet-fl hair who was often seen in leading romantic roles on television.
Ainley’s father and his brother were both actors and at the age of five he was already appearing in a film.
In 1973, Ainley was cast by the producer John Nathan-Turner as the devious Rev Emilius in the BBC’s The Pallisers.

 Outpost Gallifrey: Articles and Features
The story behind Ainley’s casting is relatively well known - a few years previously, Nathan-Turner had worked on a production of The Pallisers, in which Ainley played a villainous role that later put the producer in mind of the actor when he was considering someone to take up the Master mantle.
However, judging from all of the tributes that have flowed since the shock news of his passing filtered through fandom, it seems that he was a very genuine, thoughtful, sincere man, who often took the time to correspond in great detail with fans who wrote to him.
Anthony Ainley was one of the memorable television science-fiction villains of the nineteen-eighties, an indelible part of the fabric of the legend that is Doctor Who, and a man who will not be forgotten for as long as that programme has its place in the annals of television history.

 Guardian | Anthony Ainley
Ainley embraced the part with gusto, appearing as a semi-regular in the television series, from the encounter with Baker until its 26-year run came to an end in 1989.
During the 1970s, Ainley carved himself a niche playing aristocratic, often villainous, parts in high-profile costume dramas, including three episodes of Upstairs Downstairs (1971, as Lord Charles Gilmour), Nicholas Nickleby (1977, as Sir Mulberry Hawk) and Lillie (1978, as Lord Carrington in an account of the career of Lillie Langtry).
Ainley would not have known when playing the calculating Rev Emilius in the television dramatisation of Trollope's political novels, The Pallisers (1974), that its young production manager, John Nathan-Turner, would eventually be in charge of Doctor Who.

Tall, dark-haired and with steely grey eyes, the actor Anthony Ainley was a charismatic figure both on and off the screen.

 Anthony Ainley: Master & Commander - Articles - Doctor Who - Online Magazine & Fan Site
Anthony Ainley was born on the 20th August 1937 into a family of actors, although originally trained as an insurance clerk before he found himself drawn in to acting, enlisting into RADA.
Ainley’s first appearance in The Keeper of Traken as Tremas was played convincingly; kind and warm, a strong leader and loving husband, and father to Nyssa.
Ainley gets the chance to play the Master as he should be dark and evil, a throwback to Delgado and his earlier portrayals in season 18, and with an added dark humour.

Ainley's portrayal was closer to Delgado's, but his Master's tendency to burst out into peals of malicious laughter was criticised by some fans as being too over-the-top.
Like the villanous Davros, the Ainley Master also showed a knack for returning from death or eternal imprisonment, although how precisely he survived those seemingly final fates was never explained.
Some fans consider the Ainley Master's final appearance, in Survival, as what Ainley had originally meant him to be: a vicious character with a penchant for fl humour and subtle malice, mocking with laughter the tears of the Seventh Doctor's companion Ace at the passing of her new friend Kara.

Anthony Ainley: the 80s Master with a Pantomime Dame performance that was an insult to the legacy of Roger Delgado.
One of the recent obits (in The Guardian) bears this out; Ainley replaced Delgado's suave charm with a pantomimic cod-insane take on the Doctor's archenemy.
But in my albeit twisted mind Ainley IS the Master - the unhinged, camp, Mutley-giggling Master of disguise (who despite all his superior intellect could never master a decent French accent).

Also here to spoil things is the desperately hammy Anthony Ainley as the Doctor's other Time Lord enemy, The Master; a pantomime villain who was well past his sell-by date by this time, but was contracted to appear in all Doctor Who seasons in this era.
The late Anthony Ainley returns as the Master, the best arch enemy on the classic Doctor Who series, and Kate O'Mara plays a Time Lady known as the Rani, a former classmate of the Doctor and the Master at the Time Lords' Academy on Gallifrey.
Her best line: "He'd (The Master) get dizzy if he tried to walk in a straight line." TMOTR is not one of Ainley's better outings as the Master, as he comes off like a bumbling fool playing second banana to O'Mara's Rani.

 The Master - Tardis - A Wikia wiki
In interviews and convention QandA sessions, Pertwee often cited the death of Delgado as one of the chief contributing factors in his decision to leave the role.
During Anthony Ainley's tenure as the Master, anagrams of the actor's name were often used in the credits for the Master's disguises, such as Neil Toynay for the Portreeve in "Castrovalva." Tremas is itself an anagram of Master.
