| The '''Black [[Dalek]] Leader''', usually just referred to as the '''[[Black Dalek]]''', was the earliest Black Dalek in existance. It was the [[Dalek Emperor]]'s second in command, taking charge of the [[Dalek City]] on [[Skaro]] in the Emperor's absence. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Plague of Death (comic story)|Plague of Death]]'') It was senior to other Black Daleks that came into existence later ([[TV]]: ''[[The Dalek Invasion of Earth (TV story)|The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]'', [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Masters of Earth (audio story)|Masters of Earth]]'') in the same way the [[Red Dalek Leader]] was senior to other [[Red Dalek]]s. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Eve of War (comic story)|Eve of War]]'')
| | A Supreme Dalek was a [[Black Dalek]] and the leader of the [[Renegade Dalek]]s that opposed the [[Imperial Dalek]]s commanded by Davros, now calling himself the [[Dalek Emperor]]. It formed an alliance with [[The Association]] led by [[George Ratcliffe]] to obtain the [[Hand of Omega]]. The Dalek Supreme ended up as the last surviving member of the original, Kaled-descended Daleks. The [[Seventh Doctor]] convinced it that it had no purpose. At this point, in a state of confusion and distress, it destroyed itself, breaking the link with [[Judith Winters]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'') |

| The Black Dalek Leader was summoned by the Emperor to deal with [[Zeg]] after he challenged the Emperor's authority. It's [[Gunstick|weapon]] was unable to penetrate Zeg's [[metalert]] casing. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Duel of the Daleks (comic story)|Duel of the Daleks]]'')
| | This Supreme Dalek was mainly black, but had silver sensor globes, shoulder slats and neck rings, orange dome-lights, and a less-tapered "skirt" section. |

| When the Daleks developed [[Dalek flying saucer|space travel]], the Emperor led an [[Alien invasion|invasion]] force off Skaro to conquer other [[planet]]s, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Amaryll Challenge (comic story)|The Amaryll Challenge]]'') leaving the Black Dalek in charge of the Dalek City. When the Daleks were threatened by the outbreak of a [[rust plague]], the Black Dalek was infected in such as way that it could be used as a vessel to transmit the plague to other Daleks. The Emperor returned to Skaro to deal with the situation. The [[Emperor's Personal Guard|Emperor's guards]] chased the Black Dalek away to protect the Emperor. The Emperor then found the Black Dalek by the [[Brain Machine]], rusting away, resigned to its fate, ashamed as it was of letting other Daleks die. The Emperor claimed the Black Dalek was too valuable to lose and sent it to the recasting furnace to be repaired. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Plague of Death (comic story)|Plague of Death]]'')

| Later, after its recovery, the Black Dalek led a force of Daleks to the planet [[Phryne]] in search of new technologies as war with the [[Mechanoid]]s became evermore certain. They successfully occupied the planet, although many [[Phrynian]]s went into hiding to form a resistance movement. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Archives of Phryne (comic story)|The Archives of Phryne]]'')

| | |
| The Emperor called a meeting with the Black Dalek and a Red Dalek when the presence of the [[One in a Million Dalek]] threatened to cause a [[civil war]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Shadow of Humanity]]'') Both were also present on the Emperor's ship when the Daleks first ventured into the [[Sol System]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Return of the Elders (comic story)|Return of the Elders]]'')

| |
| * In ''[[The Chase]]'', ''[[Mission to the Unknown]]'' and ''[[The Mutation of Time (novelisation)|The Mutation of Time]]'' (the [[Target Books|Target novelisations]] of ''[[The Chase (TV story)|The Chase]]'', ''[[Mission to the Unknown (TV story)|Mission to the Unknown]]'' and ''[[The Daleks' Master Plan (TV story)|The Daleks' Master Plan]]''), author [[John Peel]] implies that the Black Dalek present in those stories is the Black Dalek Leader. In ''The Mutation of Time'', the [[Dalek Prime]] considers the Black Dalek "irreplaceable", echoing the Emperor's thoughts from ''Plague of Death''. This does not factor in the [[Dalek Controller|Black Dalek]] destroyed in ''The Dalek Invasion of Earth'', set in between both stories, unless it only applies to the Black Dalek Leader, which was mostly just called the Black Dalek. If this was Peel's intention, it would not be the only elements from ''[[The Dalek Chronicles (comic story)|The Dalek Chronicles]]'' included by Peel in his novelisations; Red Daleks and the Dalek Prime resembling the [[Gold]]en Emperor are other examples.
| |
| * Because ''The Dalek Chronicles'' went through frequent art shifts, the Black Dalek Leader often changes colour and design between stories. It is [[black]] and [[silver]] in ''Duel of the Daleks'', black and [[gold]] in ''Plague of Death'', and black, gold and silver in ''The Archives of Phryne'' making it resemble the Black Dalek from ''[[Dr. Who and the Daleks]]'', the [[Canon|non-canon]] retelling of ''[[The Daleks (TV story)|The Daleks]]'' starring [[Peter Cushing]].
