The Supreme Dalek, also known as the Supreme One, was in command of the New Dalek Empire in 2009. It was also a variant of the Dalek Supreme model.

Overview

The Supreme One had red casing with golden globes and extra plating. He had a slightly deeper voice than the other Daleks that resembled that of the Dalek Emperor's in The Parting of the Ways. He ranked above Davros, having taken control of the New Dalek Empire presumably soon after his own creation. As well as extra armour, The Supreme One had a third indicator light which - as with its other lights - was mounted on a small plate.

The Supreme One had a clear disliking for the insane Dalek Caan, calling him "the Abomination". Nevertheless, he relied on Caan's prophecies to guide his actions.

Biography

He commanded the invasion of Earth during the War in the Medusa Cascade and reported the victory to Davros, though he was only interested if The Doctor had arrived. The Supreme One stated that there was no sign of Time Lord activity and that they were beyond the Doctors reach, which fascinated Davros as it sounded as if it were a declaration of victory - which was impossible as the Daleks were elevated "above" emotion. (DW: The Stolen Earth)

Once his forces detected the Doctor's TARDIS, the Supreme One ordered it to be encased in a time prison which allowed it to be captured and depowered. The craft was transported to the Crucible where the Supreme One demanded that the Doctor and his companions emerge from their craft. When the door to the TARDIS closed trapping Donna Noble, the Doctor told him to release her but the Supreme One stated it was not his action and that it was likely Time Lord treachery.

It commanded its forces to dump the TARDIS into the core of the Crucible in order to destroy it. As it disintegrated, the Supreme One asked the Doctor if he felt anger and pain, and stated that emotions makes one weaker. Captain Jack Harkness then attacked the Supreme One out of anger with a pistol which did not harm the Dalek leader. The Supreme Dalek retaliated by killing Jack, (unaware that he was immortal and would soon return to life) after which it ordered the Doctor and Rose to be taken to the Vault.

The Doctor discovered when meeting Davros that the creator of the Daleks was not the master of the New Dalek Empire but it was in fact the Supreme One who was in charge. After being created, the Daleks turned on their creator (again) who made an arrangement with them; he would ensure their domination of the universe if they allowed him to live. This was to be done through the use of the reality bomb which would be powered by the 27 planetary engine configuration of the captured worlds in the Medusa Cascade in conjunction with the Crucible's energy source. This would bring about the destruction of all existence except for the Daleks leaving them to be the masters of the universe. To ensure Davros's cooperation, the Supreme One locked Davros - along with Dalek Caan - in the Vault of the Crucible.

The Supreme One then received the transmission from Martha Jones who threatened to destroy Earth with the Osterhagen key thus preventing the Daleks from completing their goal. The Daleks then used a Transmat to capture her. However, the arrival of Donna Noble and a second Doctor brought ruin to their plan as the reality bomb did not activate. A furious Supreme One entered the Vault where he angrily stated that Davros betrayed the Daleks to which an innocent Davros protested that it was Dalek Caan. The Supreme One ignored him and declared that all the Vault's occupants would be exterminated. He was only able to get a single shot off, damaging the Magnetron before it could send Earth back, however, before being hit by a blast from Captain Jack's energy weapon. The Supreme One screamed as it burst into flames and exploded. (DW: Journey's End)
