Prior to mutating into the irradiated [[Dalek mutant]]s, the Daleks had had a pacifist ultimate leader, [[Drenz]], who ruled with ministers. After his assassination, he was replaced by [[Zolfian]] who took on the title of [[Warlord (title)|War Lord]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Genesis of Evil (comic story)|Genesis of Evil]]'') In the early days of the Daleks, [[the Black Dalek]] was the direct second-in-command to the Emperor ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Duel of the Daleks (comic story)|Duel of the Daleks]]'') as [[Warlord (title)|Warlord]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Secret of the Emperor (comic story)|The Secret of the Emperor]]'') and the Dalek Emperor could alternatively be known as the [[Dalek Supreme]].

With the creation of the [[New Dalek Paradigm]], the Dalek race was reorganised into a colour-coded caste society; the leader of this first batch of Daleks was the [[white]] [[Supreme Dalek (Victory of the Daleks)|Supreme Dalek]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Victory of the Daleks (TV story)|Victory of the Daleks]]'') Later, two New Paradigm Dalek Emperors were encountered by the Doctor | However, later on, the rank of Dalek Supreme was instead given to the Emperor's second-in-command; the Black Dalek used the title frequently, ([[TV]]: ''[[Resurrection of the Daleks (TV story)|Resurrection of the Daleks]]'', ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]', etc.) and after its destruction, other Supremes were used by the Emperor as his second-in-commands. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Genocide Machine (audio story)|The Genocide Machine]]'', etc.) A [[Dalek Council]] of Supreme Daleks, plural, also existed in some eras, answering directly to the Emperor; ([[TV]]: ''[[Planet of the Daleks (TV story)|Planet of the Daleks]]'') according to some account, the Black Dalek arose as singular Dalek Supreme when it became the only survivor of the Dalek Council of multiplte Supreme Daleks, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe| The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe]]'') although this failed to tally with other chronologies of Dalek history. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Evil of the Daleks (novelisation)|The Evil of the Daleks]]'', [[COMIC]]: ''[[Bringer of Darkness (comic story)|Bringer of Darkness]]'', et alt.) During the [[Imperial-Renegade Dalek Civil War]], the [[Renegade Dalek]] faction was led by [[Black Dalek Leader|the Supreme]] instead of an Emperor, ([[TV]]: ''[[Resurrection of the Daleks (TV story)|Resurrection of the Daleks]]'', ''[[Revelation of the Daleks (TV story)|Revelation of the Daleks]]'') though the [[Eighth Doctor]] learned that this was on behalf of the [[Dalek Prime]].

After the [[Last Great Time War]], the function of Dalek Emperor fell behind. In the [[New Dalek Empire]], a red [[Supreme Dalek (The Stolen Earth)|Supreme Dalek]] was the ultimate commander. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Stolen Earth (TV story)|The Stolen Earth]]'') With the creation of the [[New Dalek Paradigm]], the Dalek race was reorganised into a colour-coded caste society; the leader of this first batch of Daleks was the [[white]] [[Supreme Dalek (Victory of the Daleks)|Supreme Dalek]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Victory of the Daleks (TV story)|Victory of the Daleks]]'') Later, two New Paradigm Dalek Emperors were encountered by the Doctor, one [[blue]], and the other [[purple]], but the former only created within a timeline that was later negated, and overall both Emperors were short-lived. ([[GAME]]: ''[[City of the Daleks (video game)|City of the Daleks]]'', ''[[The Eternity Clock (video game)|The Eternity Clock]]'') Eventually, the [[Parliament of the Daleks]] was created, led by the [[Dalek Prime Minister]]. This Dalek mutant was housed inside an immobile transparent tube, and outranked even the New Paradigm Supreme Dalek. ([[TV]]: ''[[Asylum of the Daleks (TV story)|Asylum of the Daleks]]'') However, following the Prime Minister going insane, the white Supreme Dalek took charge once more, with the first of each variant of the Paradigm as his closest advisors; ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe (short story)| The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe]]'') he ultimately perished at the [[Siege of Trenzalore]], which he had supervised personally from his mothership.
