Dalek Emperor The Dalek Emperor was the supreme ruler of the Dalek Empire , commanding the Dalek race and the planet Skaro . History . Dalek Prime . One of the first Dalek s , who exterminated Davros and proclaimed the Daleks ' future victory over the universe ( TV : " Genesis of the Daleks " ) , assumed the role of Dalek Prime ( later Dalek Emperor ) and would continue to act as the Emperor throughout Dalek history . ( PROSE : " War of the Daleks " ) The Golden Emperor . After the neutronic war that devastated Skaro , the mutants had survived in the casings . The only humanoid Dalek survivors of the war , Yarvelling and the warlord Zolfian encountered a Dalek which persuaded them to build more Dalek casings for their mutated descendants . Before the last two humanoid Daleks died , a special casing was built for the Emperor to reflect its new rank , made of Flidor gold , quartz and Arkellis flower sap . The Golden Emperor was slightly shorter than the other Daleks , with a disproportionately large spheroid head section rendered in gold rather than grey . It also had three globes on each panel unlike other Daleks . ( COMIC : " Genesis of Evil " ) The Emperor within the Dalek City . The next known incarnation of the Emperor remained in an enormous , immobile , conical shell plugged into a corner of the control room in the Dalek City on Skaro . It was connected to the wall by tubes , and spoke in an echoing voice . This Emperor tried to win the wars by blackmailing the Second Doctor . He ordered the Daleks to capture the Doctor so that they could force him to conduct research into the Human Factor . This would unlock the secrets of the Dalek Factor which was to be spread throughout all areas of human history , giving all humans the mentality of a Dalek and preventing the Great War from ever happening . He was seemingly destroyed by a civil war between humanised Dalek s and un - altered Daleks . However , a light was seen blinking on its casing at the end , indicating some kind of activity . ( TV : " The Evil of the Daleks " , PROSE : " The Evil of the Daleks " ) The Emperor survived when his forces began rebuilding , resulting in the emergence of a new command structure involving grey Dalek drones and Gold Supreme Daleks . ( TV : " Day of the Daleks " ) Shortly after this , the Emperor met Bernice Summerfield , whom the Emperor questioned on why the Civil War had occurred . ( AUDIO : " The Lights of Skaro " ) Davros as Emperor . Davros was made the Emperor of the Imperial Dalek faction of the Daleks during the Imperial - Renegade Dalek Civil War . He was encased in a customised Dalek casing with a dome top which could open and close , his body below his head and shoulders covered in a mass of tubing and cables , implying he had greatly deteriorated physically . He was last seen heading for an escape pod just before his ship was destroyed in the wake of the supernova ( set off by the Hand of Omega ) that consumed Skaro . ( TV : " Remembrance of the Daleks " ) Later , Davros ' increasingly unstable mind was obliterated by a totally Dalek personality , that of the Emperor . This new Emperor took command of Davros ' Dalek s and departed . ( AUDIO : " Terror Firma " ) Emperor of the Dalek Empire . When the Daleks launched an invasion of the Milky Way from the Seriphia Galaxy , the Dalek Emperor was in command . While it successfully conquered much of the galaxy , its real goal was Project Infinity . It intended to summon Daleks from another reality . When those Daleks turned out to be appalled by genocide , the Emperor was captured by the Earth Alliance ( AUDIO : " " Death to the Daleks ! " " , " Project Infinity " ) but transmitted its consciousness into a human , Susan Mendes , to continue the war . ( AUDIO : " " ) It erased her consciousness and intended to use her form to con the galaxy into lowering its guard ; however , a psychic trap caused the remnants of Mendes to awaken and trigger the destruction of all Dalek technology , removing the Emperor from its human host . ( AUDIO : " " ) During the Time War . The Emperor in its original form resided in Kaalann on Skaro . ( GAME : " City of the Daleks " ) He formed the Cult of Skaro , a group above and beyond the Emperor himself , created to " think as the enemy thinks " and " imagine " new ways to find victory . ( TV : " Doomsday " ) Because of the Master ' s activation of the Heavenly Paradigm , the Emperor took control of the Cruciform . ( TV : " The Sound of Drums " , AUDIO : " The Heavenly Paradigm " ) Towards the end of the War , the Emperor oversaw the creation of the Eternity Circle , and was present when they created the Temporal Cannon to use against the Time Lords . ( PROSE : " Engines of War " ) When Skaro was devastated , the Emperor was thought to have been killed . ( GAME : " City of the Daleks " ) The Dalek Emperor was aboard its saucer flagship when all the incarnations of the Doctor up to the Twelfth moved Gallifrey to a pocket universe on the last day of the Time War , the assembled Dalek fleet ended up firing on itself through the space Gallifrey once occupied ( an event which was presumed to have been the activation of the Moment ) ( TV : " The Day of the Doctor " ) ; as such , the Emperor was believed to have died with the rest of its species , but this was mistaken . ( TV : " The Parting of the Ways " ) Surviving the Time War . The Emperor ' s lone ship barely survived the Time War , falling through time in a heavily damaged state . The nine - metre tall Emperor ' s new casing had the appearance of its mutant revealed floating in a transparent tank of liquid , topped by a giant - sized Dalek dome , complete with eyestalk , flanked by panels of armour dotted by Dalek " bumps " with a ring - shaped " throne " on the bottom . It went into seclusion at the edge of the Solar system " damaged but rebuilding " during the Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire . Circa 199 , 909 , it secretly installed the Jagrafess aboard Satellite Five to play the " long game " of slowly manipulating humans and re - establishing the Dalek species and fleet . A hundred years after the Jagrafess was killed , in the year 200 , 100 , the Emperor was still using Satellite Five ( now renamed the " Game Station " ) to manipulate humanity and conceal his fleet . ( TV : " Bad Wolf " ) The Emperor secretly used transmat technology aboard the space station to kidnap humans for nearly two hundred years . The kidnapped humans were harvested for their genetic material , and " one cell in a billion " was used to rebuild a new race of Daleks ( TV : " The Parting of the Ways " ) numbering roughly half a million aboard a fleet of 200 ships . ( TV : " Bad Wolf " ) Because the Emperor had recreated the Dalek race , it saw itself as a god and immortal and so was worshipped by the new Daleks . These and other religious concepts such as blasphemy were new to Dalek psychology . ( TV : " The Parting of the Ways " ) The Emperor ' s pawn aboard Satellite Five , the Controller , hated her masters and transmat ted the Ninth Doctor aboard the Game Station to help defeat them . ( TV : " Bad Wolf " ) When he encountered the Emperor and his new religiously fanatical Daleks , the Doctor surmised that they were driven insane both because they isolated themselves for so long , but also because they were in denial of the fact that they were part human . The Daleks killed almost everyone aboard Satellite Five , and they attacked Earth , bombing millions of people , to transform it into the Emperor ' s " temple " . Shortly afterwards , the Doctor turned down his chance to use an uncalibrated delta wave to destroy all nearby life , human and Dalek alike . The Emperor thought he was victorious , but he and his entire fleet were atomised by Rose Tyler after she had absorbed the energies of the time vortex and became the Bad Wolf temporal paradox . ( TV : " The Parting of the Ways " ) The Progenitor Dalek Emperor . When the New Dalek Paradigm went back to the ruined Skaro , they created a new Emperor Dalek , reusing the shell of the old one , albeit with new paint . His blue colouring suggests he was a Strategist Dalek , had ties to that role or was the mastermind of all of the Daleks ' plans for universal conquest . When the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond travelled back in time to when Skaro was devastated and before the new Daleks arrived with the Eye of Time , they erased the Daleks ' alterations and Kaalann was left abandoned . The new Emperor was never created as a result . ( GAME : " City of the Daleks " ) When the New Dalek Paradigm took control of Earth in 2106 , they were led by a new Emperor Dalek . This Emperor was different from the Time War Emperor , as it was coloured purple , was able to form a sphere and its weaponry was much larger . This new Emperor wanted to completely change time by using a piece of the Eternity Clock , and remove Gallifrey from existence ; the Daleks would then become the new Lords of Time . The Eleventh Doctor and River Song were able to remove the piece of the Eternity Clock from the Dalek ' s possession , foiling the Emperor ' s plans and undoing the Dalek invasion of Earth . ( GAME : " The Eternity Clock " ) The Daleks later established a Parliament , and were led by a Prime Minister instead of an Emperor . ( TV : " Asylum of the Daleks " ) Other references . In an alternate timeline , the Dalek Emperor placed its mind into a Thal and travelled back in time to warn the Daleks of a great catastrophe that would devastate their race . He realised he had caused the alternate timeline and prevented it , thus erasing himself from existence . ( AUDIO : " The Mutant Phase " ) A Dalek Emperor composed the plan to send the Master to divide the humans and Draconian s , and gave him a squad of Ogron s to complete his task . ( AUDIO : " The Dalek Conquests " ) Personality . As the supreme ruler of the Daleks , the Emperor showed a very domineering attitude , barking orders with confidence , and had perhaps the most individual personality of his species . Like all Daleks , he was very racist towards other species and believed in the superiority of his race above all else . The Emperor who encountered the Ninth Doctor was using very degrading and infuriating terms when discussing how it had recreated the Dalek race following the Time War ' s end . This act brought about the most profound change in his mindset and personality , as it caused the Emperor to think of himself as an immortal god , with his " brethren " ( creations ) worshiping him as such . Because of this , he arrogantly believed he couldn ' t be hurt , which led to his demise . The Emperor was very deluded about its Dalek race , claiming it had " cultivated pure and blessed Dalek " , and called Rose Tyler ' s statement that they were half human blasphemy , when in fact he himself was the only pure Dalek present . Unique among Daleks , the Emperor was one of the few Daleks to display a sense of humour , as he playfully chided the Ninth Doctor when the latter was threatening to use a Delta Wave to destroy him , saying he ' d enjoy to see the Doctor become just like him , " The Great Exterminator " . Having dealt with him in the past and witnessed his capabilities , the Emperor notably did not underestimate the Doctor ' s intellect and acknowledged the fact that his old enemy had nearly destroyed the Dalek race at the end of the Time War . ( TV : " The Parting of the Ways " ) In an alternate timeline , the Dalek Emperor , possessing Ganatus ' s body , listened to the Fifth Doctor not to change the past and he and the Mutant Phase were erased from existence . ( AUDIO : " The Mutant Phase " ) During the invasion of Mutter ' s Spiral , the Dalek Emperor showed an interest in Susan Mendes and Project Infinity . He told the Supreme Dalek that they were the only ones with access of the Kar - Charrat information and would kill her only on his command . ( AUDIO : " Invasion of the Daleks " , " The Human Factor " , " Project Infinity " ) When the New Dalek Paradigm rebuilt Kaalann and altered time with the Eye of Time , a blue Dalek Emperor recognised the Eleventh Doctor and declared the Daleks would be the masters of time and the universe . He told the Doctor that he would not take orders and asked the Doctor to fear the Eye of Time . The Dalek Emperor told him and Amy that the Daleks were the new Time Lords and ordered the Daleks to stop them when they jumped to the Eye . ( GAME : " City of the Daleks " ) A purple Dalek Emperor led the New Dalek Paradigm ' s invasion of Earth in 2106 using a piece of the Eternity Clock . He declared that the Eleventh Doctor ' s era would end and that the Time Lords were no more . The Dalek Emperor told the Doctor that Gallifrey would never exist . ( GAME : " The Eternity Clock " ) Behind the scenes . According to the material " The Dalek Handbook " , the Emperor in the Dalek City survived the Great Civil War and would revamp the Dalek command structure , as well as focus his strategies on rewriting the Dalek timeline . The Dalek Emperor is a minor villain in " LEGO Dimensions " .
