The Time Lords believed the Gold Dalek who oversaw Operation Divide and Conquer and the Time Paradox Incident to be a subordinate "outpost commander" who deputised for the Dalek Supreme. They likened this subordinate status to the spaceship commander who served under the Supreme Controller of the Dalek Earthforce. (PROSE: Dalek Combat Training Manual) By one account, during the Time Paradox Incident, the Gold Dalek was itself supported by a Black Dalek. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Day of the Daleks)
The Dalek Survival Guide noted this unit as a Dalek Supreme yet also claimed the Dalek was never called by that rank, leading to the theory that it was actually a sub-commander or Chief. (PROSE: Dalek Survival Guide) Other Daleks of the same casing design were concretely called Supremes, however. (AUDIO: Poison of the Daleks, Eye of Darkness)
Behind the scenes
- The Universal Databank identifies the Gold Dalek seen in Day of the Daleks as a "Dalek Warlord" and potentially an "avatar" of the Black Dalek. It is claimed that both Black Daleks and Gold Daleks were below the Emperor Dalek's Dalek Council.
- The Dalek Handbook classes the Gold Dalek as a Commander, subordinate to the Dalek Supreme and above the grey Dalek Leaders. In their list of real world paradigms, The Dalek Handbook counts the Gold Dalek in a "1972-1985" paradigm with the grey Daleks and the Dalek Supreme.
- The Dalek Tapes, a feature in the Genesis of the Daleks DVD, presented both the Gold Dalek and the gold-and-black Dalek Supreme as members of the Dalek Supreme Council. This notion was later confirmed in a narrative source, Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe.
- The Gold Dalek was released by Character Options as the "Gold Supreme Dalek".
