| Originally know as either the '''[[Dalek Prime]]''' or '''Genetic Variant Two-One-Zero''', this '''[[Dalek Emperor]]''' ruled the planet [[Skaro]] and the [[Dalek Empire]], and was the first Emperor of the Daleks [[the Doctor]] encountered. This Emperor was an enormous, immobile, conical shell installed into a corner of the control room in the [[Dalek City]], connected to the wall by tubes, and spoke in an echoing voice. Unlike the rest of its race, it had no [[gunstick]].
| | Ruling the [[Dalek Empire]] in the [[42nd century]], this '''[[Dalek Emperor]]''' commanded an invasion of the [[Milky Way]] from the [[Seriphia Galaxy]]. |
|
| |
|
| == Becoming the Emperor ==
| | First sending [[Dalek]]s to obtain the knowledge of the [[Library on Kar-Charrat]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Genocide Machine]]'') the Emperor later launched an invasion into the Milky Way. While it successfully conquered much of the galaxy, its real goal was [[Project Infinity]], as it intended to summon Daleks from another [[reality]]. When those Daleks turned out to be appalled by [[genocide]], the Emperor was captured by the [[Earth Alliance]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[["Death to the Daleks!"]]'', ''[[Project Infinity (audio story)|Project Infinity]]'') but transmitted its [[consciousness]] into the [[human]], [[Susan Mendes]], to continue the war. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Dalek War: Chapter One]]'') It erased her consciousness and intended to use her form to con the galaxy into lowering its guard; however, a psychic trap caused the remnants of Mendes to awaken and trigger the destruction of all Dalek technology, removing the Emperor from its human host and resulting in the [[Great Catastrophe (The Exterminators)|Great Catastrophe]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Dalek War: Chapter Four]]'') |
| '''Genetic Variant Two-One-Zero''' was one of several genetically-modified Daleks sent to pass an ordeal. On the [[planet]] [[Shade]], he had to collaborate with [[Steven Taylor]] to survive [[Chaon]]s who infested the planet and to get to a [[transmat]] station to escape. Several times Steven saved Two-One-Zero from [[death]], once taking it out of the casing and carrying in his hands wrapped in a tarpaulin. During the whole ordeal, Two-One-Zero exhibited qualities unusual for [[Dalek]]s: he tried to save [[human]] [[prisoner]]s' lives and exterminated another Dalek to save Steven's life. He promised to give Steven a transmat code to return back to the [[First Doctor]] and [[Vicki Pallister|Vicki]] on the planet [[Entropica]], but betrayed Steven in the very end, giving him transmat coordinates that would lead him to certain death had he not been saved by the [[First Doctor]]. Upon returning to [[Skaro]], Two-One-Zero demonstrated that it was indeed a superior Dalek as he was the only [[genetic variant]] to return from the ordeal. He was transferred to a new casing and declared himself the [[Dalek Emperor|Emperor of Daleks]], his experience with Steven prompting him to search for the [[Human Factor]] as a way to achieve total Dalek domination over the universe. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Across the Darkened City (audio story)|Across the Darkened City]]'')

| |
|
| Another similar albeit different account stated that the Emperor was originally the [[Dalek Prime]], the Dalek that exterminated [[Davros]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Genesis of the Daleks]]'') Following the end of the [[Thousand Year War]], the Dalek Prime began conducting experiments on other life-forms on Skaro, creating [[Mutant|mutations]] which went on to inhabit the [[petrified jungle]] and the [[Lake of Mutations]] near the foot of the [[Drammankin Mountains]]. Eventually the Dalek Prime discovered the molecules that could cause further mutation within a Dalek, and created a drug from its research which would initiate the mutation. Not prepared to test the drug on any Dalek in case it grew beyond its capabilities, the Dalek Prime used the drug on itself and evolved to the peak of Dalek [[evolution]] with hugely enhanced mental powers. Afterwards, it proclaimed itself the [[Dalek Emperor (The Evil of the Daleks)|Emperor of the Dalek race]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Evil of the Daleks (novelisation)|The Evil of the Daleks]]'')
| |
|
| |
| == Search for the Human Factor ==
| |
| After accepting that the Daleks were losing the [[Great War (The Evil of the Daleks)|Great War]] after centuries of denial, the Emperor tried to win the conflict by [[blackmail]]ing the [[Second Doctor]]. He ordered the Daleks to capture the Doctor so that they could force him to conduct research into the [[Human Factor]]. This would unlock the secrets of the [[Dalek Factor]] which was to be spread throughout all areas of human history, giving all humans the mentality of a Dalek and preventing the Great War from ever happening. When the Doctor escaped, the Emperor was caught in the chaos of a [[Dalek Civil War|civil war]] between [[humanised Dalek]]s and un-altered Daleks and nearly destroyed. However, a light was seen blinking inside his casing at the end, indicating some kind of activity. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Evil of the Daleks]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Evil of the Daleks (novelisation)|The Evil of the Daleks]]'')
| |
|
| |
| Shortly after this, the Emperor met [[Bernice Summerfield]] as she moved through time, and the Emperor questioned her on why the Civil War had occurred and the other Daleks questioned him. She berated him during their short discussion, mocking him for not even having a gun, and walked away so that she would live, giving "the greatest insult [she] could think to give a Dalek." The Emperor was left screaming after her for her to obey him and that she would be annihilated. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Lights of Skaro (audio story)|The Lights of Skaro]]'')
| |
|
| |
| Having survived, the Emperor's forces began rebuilding, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Bringer of Darkness (comic story)|Bringer of Darkness]]'') resulting in the emergence of a [[Dalek hierarchy|new command structure]] involving [[Dalek drone|grey Dalek drones]] and [[Gold Dalek|Gold Supreme Daleks]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Day of the Daleks (TV story)|Day of the Daleks]]'')
| |
|
| |
| == Creating/Erasing the Mutant Phase ==
| |
| In an [[alternate timeline]] where the [[Dalek]]s came under attack by the infection called the [[Mutant Phase]], the Dalek Emperor still commanded the empire from Skaro, the [[Fifth Doctor]] commenting that they'd both "had a face-lift" since they last met. As the Mutant Phase swarm destroyed Skaro, the Emperor was able to place its mind into the body of the [[Thal]] [[Ganatus (The Mutant Phase)|Ganatus]], possessing him, and ordering the Doctor to take him back to the [[22nd century Dalek invasion]] of [[Earth]], where the Mutant Phase started. Travelling back in time, the Emperor tried to warn the Daleks of the great catastrophe that would devastate their race, but the Doctor explained that his interference is what caused the mutation in the first place. When the Emperor realised this, he chose not to change the past, erasing both himself and the Mutant Phase from existence. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Mutant Phase (audio story)|The Mutant Phase]]'')

| == Behind the scenes ==
| |
| * This Emperor is the first [[Dalek Emperor]] in the television series proper.
| |
| * In the novelisation of ''[[The Evil of the Daleks (novelisation)|The Evil of the Daleks]]'', the [[Dalek Prime]] becomes this Emperor. Although this seems to be contradicted by ''[[Across the Darkened City (audio story)|Across the Darkened City]]'', there are similarities in circumstances. Both the Dalek Prime and Two-One-Zero are genetically-advanced Daleks who declared themselves [[Emperor]].
