If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.
This page lists appearances of Davros in the order in which he experienced them. This timeline is based upon observations of the Doctor Who universe and the events that occur during each of these stories.
Limiting factors
What happened to Davros after TV: Revelation of the Daleks and before TV: Remembrance of the Daleks, as well as what happened after Remembrance of the Daleks is complicated but not impossible to reconcile. The conflicting accounts of Davros' ascension to Emperor of the Daleks and dismemberment in Emperor of the Daleks, the sequence of events depicted in The Juggernauts, The Davros Mission, and the framing narrative of I, Davros cannot be reconciled and will therefore be treated as three separate timelines resulting from the Time War.
Davros' personality is subdued by that of an Emperor Dalek in AUDIO: Terror Firma but must be reversed due to his intact personality, which he has at least by shortly before the Time War in PROSE: Father of the Daleks. The explanation for this is as yet unknown.
Timeline

- As a small child, Davros wonders onto a battlefield and is saved from Handmines by the Twelfth Doctor. (TV: The Magician's Apprentice, The Witch's Familiar)
