== Biography == | |||
Within the Parliament, the role of this Dalek Strategist ([[TV]]: ''[[Asylum of the Daleks (TV story)|Asylum of the Daleks]]'') and its fellow Strategists was to channel the mental capacities of the thousands of [[Dalek governor]]s and then present them as options to the [[Dalek Prime Minister]], who could then instruct the [[Supreme Dalek (Victory of the Daleks)|Supreme Dalek]]. The Parliament's deliberations were highly classified, its sessions barely even recorded on the Dalek [[pathweb]]. However, as with administrations [[the galaxy]] over, there were leaks, both deliberate and accidental. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dalek Combat Training Manual (reference book)|Dalek Combat Training Manual]]'', ''[[Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe (short story)|Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe]]'') | |||
The Strategist Dalek was present aboard their ship, the ''[[Nacrana Va Hateen]]'', during the [[Asylum Incident]], when the Parliament made a request to the [[Eleventh Doctor]], [[Amy Pond]] and [[Rory Williams]] to save the Daleks from the [[Dalek Asylum]]. Just as the Parliament was about to destroy the Asylum, [[Oswin Oswald]] removed any memory of the Doctor from the Daleks' [[Pathweb]] from the centre of the Asylum, causing the Strategist Dalek, along with all other members of the Parliament, to forget the Doctor entirely. ([[TV]]: ''[[Asylum of the Daleks (TV story)|Asylum of the Daleks]]'') After regaining their memory of the Doctor during the [[Siege of Trenzalore]], the Parliament and their ship were destroyed at the end of the Siege.

Compared to the initial [[Strategist Dalek (Victory of the Daleks)|Strategist Dalek]] seen in ''[[Victory of the Daleks (TV story)|Victory of the Daleks]]'', this Dalek model was modified from the original design to sport a deeper, more metallic shade of [[blue]], the biological [[eyepiece]] was made more obvious and the hunchback look was toned down. | |||
[[Sylvester McCoy]] uses the new Strategist Dalek prop to secure a part in the [[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|50th Anniversary Special]] in ''[[The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot]]''. | |||
In the years following its appearance on television, this prop was retained and placed on display by the [[BBC]].<ref>http://www.dalek6388.co.uk/the-new-series-series-eleven/</ref> In 2019, the Strategist Dalek served as the instrument of a Halloween prank; placed at the BBC reception, the Dalek approached and exclaimed "Exterminate!" at unsuspecting visitors whose reactions were filmed by hidden cameras.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDNugQxZVbU</ref> The Strategist Dalek was later auctioned for [[Children in Need]] in November 2022.<ref>https://propstoreauction.com/lot-details/index/catalog/318/lot/94974</ref> | |||
