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.
Davros' personality is subdued by that of an Emperor Dalek in AUDIO: Terror Firma but must be reversed due to his intact personality in post-Time War stories.

After the Hand of Omega
- Davros' escape capsule is recovered by the Quetzel, his personality is intact. He is put on trial by the Dalek Prime and executed via matter disintegration. One of his supporters was however operating the machine used for execution so Davros could have survived.
- Davros has been separated from his Daleks following the destruction of Skaro. He escapes in a Dalek time machine.
- Davros' is brought aboard a Nekkistani time ship. He is also far more insane than normal, most likely a consequence of the predicament he finds himself in at the end of Daleks Among Us. His personality subdued by that of a Dalek Emperor.

The Last Great Time War
- Davros is seemingly killed in the first year of the Last Great Time War.

He is last seen as the Daleks face a rebellion from their decaying numbers from the sewers.
Other
- Davros, operating alongside a Dalek Emperor, leads an invasion of Earth in the year 2254, which is thwarted by the Seventh Doctor and Ace. According to PROSE: Head Games, the events of Dalek Attack are a simulation the Doctor created by fictional energies.
