Adelaine Dutemps

was a Dalek duplicate created from the DNA of the Dalek Time Controller. She ran the Red Pagoda, a Paris nightclub that secretly sold artworks made by local artists, and was one of its dancers.
== Biography ==
Adelaine was created by the Time Controller as part of its plan to exploit the numerous timeline shifts since Straxus killed Kotris. (AUDIO: X and the Daleks) It built the Pagoda in place of the Moulin Rouge, intending to use the Doctor's TARDIS to make its tower a Dalek casing with time travel abilities. Adelaine was appointed to manage the Pagoda, attracting artists and the criminals who she sold their works to. Certain artists and criminals were taken into the tower and bombarded with accelerated time field beams, painfully transforming into Dalek mutants. When resources permitted, the Time Controller and its army of Dalek Time Strategists would conquer time itself. (AUDIO: The Monster of Montmartre)
Adelaide met the Eighth Doctor when he came to the Pagoda with artist Christian Favreau in search of his TARDIS, which had been stolen by androids under the Daleks' control. (AUDIO: A Life in the Day) Noticing the Doctor's disinterest in the Pagoda's proceedings, she persuaded him to stay to no avail. She instead targeted Christian, choosing him for mutation as a consequence for exhausting his tab at the bar. (AUDIO: The Monster of Montmartre)
As the Pagoda closed for the night, Adelaine welcomed Georges Legrand and his gang of thieves. She introduced them, the Doctor, and Liv Chenka, who had both broken in to find Christian, to her "husband", Monsieur Dutemps—a nickname for the Time Controller that the Doctor found unimaginative. The Doctor, Georges, and a partially mutated Christian escaped, but Liv fell and was captured by Adelaine and the Time Controller.
Adelaine was turned into a Time Strategist so that she could fulfill what the Time Controller proclaimed was her destiny. Sent by it to locate the Doctor, she found not only him, but Georges and Christian. She brought Christian into the mutation chamber to finish his mutation, but was overpowered by an agonized Christian and exterminated by her own beam. (AUDIO: The Monster of Monmartre)
=== Legacy ===
After defeating the Time Controller, a Dalek Supreme formed a new Strategist from Adelaine's remains. (AUDIO: Eye of Darkness) This Strategist served in the Time War, eventually becoming the second-in-command of the Dalek Empire. (AUDIO: The Shadow Vortex, et al.)
== Personality ==
Befitting her creator, Adelaine was a devious, manipulative woman. She feigned interest in Christian to ensure that he provided her artworks, disdaining him as "squalid" when he was out of earshot. When she decided that he had "no more to give", she brought him to the Daleks for mutation. Appalled by Georges's attempt to steal her valuables, she shamelessly asked the Time Controller to exterminate his gang. She coldly asked the Time Controller if she needed to kill Liv, only stepping down when it resolved to interrogate Liv. Even so, she enjoyed having a "captive tiger" to show off. (AUDIO: The Monster of Montmartre)
Adelaine took pride in running the Pagoda. When the disgusted Doctor decided to leave, she found him and cajoled him to change his mind. She declared that she was not unique in making money unethically, quoting part of a line from the short story collection Les Diaboliques: "For in Paris, whenever God puts a pretty woman [in the streets], the Devil, in reply, immediately puts a fool to keep her." (AUDIO: The Monster of Montmartre)
Hastily mutated to further the Time Controller's plans, the Dalek Adelaine retained her individuality. She continued to call it "my husband" and Christian "my little artist", wanted to exterminate the Doctor to please it, and with much effort, could call Christian by his name. (AUDIO: The Monster of Montmartre)
The Doctor disliked Adelaine. He told her that Christian's portrait of her had missed the cold, calculating look in her eyes and that by treating her artists as a "cash cow to be milked", she was doing them a disservice. (AUDIO: The Monster of Montmartre)
