====The Kaled-Thal War====

During the [[Quatch Empire]]'s first attempt to conquer the [[Unbound Universe]]'s [[Skaro (Unbound Universe)|Skaro]], Davros worked as a [[scientist]] for the [[Kaled (Unbound Universe)|Kaleds]], and was severely mutilated and crippled after a [[Quatch]] attack (although Davros was completely unaware of the Quatchs' responsibility for the attack), permanently forcing Davros to use [[Davros' chair (Unbound Universe)|an advanced life-support chair]] to survive. Eventually, the Kaleds attempted to shut down Davros' experiments; he responded by betraying his people to serve the [[Thal (Unbound Universe)|Thals]] instead.

====Abandoning his "children" ====

However, over the years, Davros came to believe that he could never develop the Daleks to perfectly achieve his original vision for them. Eventually, Davros was [[Communication|contacted]] by the Quatch, who had learnt of him after encountering some of the Renegades, and desired to recruit Davros, due to [[fear]]ing that he would perfect the Daleks and make them even more powerful than the Quatch; Davros, disappointed by his "[[child]]ren", accepted the Quatch's invitation to join their Empire, although he remained unaware of the Quatch's true [[reason]]s for recruiting him, or of their involvement in the stokings of the Kaled-Thal War. Davros discreetly left Skaro in [[Davros' ship (Unbound Universe)|a small spaceship]] to join the Quatch, without informing the Daleks first, and ultimately spent [[decade]]s serving as the Quatch Empire's [[Chief Technician]]. During this time, Davros augmented the machinery used by the Quatch that stabilised them in the Unbound Universe, although he also secretly incorporated a system allowing him to personally shut down the stabilisers to banish the Quatch back to [[Quatch dimension|their native dimension]] in case they betrayed him.

===Relationship with the Quatch ===

Having encountered "[[the Renegades]]" on previous occasions, the Doctor [[joke]]d to Davros that he had been "a big [[fan]] of [his] [[work]] for quite some time", although the former had only just learnt of Davros' existence a few [[hour]]s prior. Davros was impressed by the Doctor's claims that he had defeated the Daleks on many previous occasions, although acknowledged that he could be [[lying]]. However, Davros also believed that the Doctor did not understand his ambition when the latter claimed that the Daleks loyal to Davros were better than what Davros had originally desired for them to be. Davros also did not initially believe the Doctor's claims that the Quatch were responsible for starting the Kaled-Thal War, until the Doctor presented Davros with information extracted from a Quatch [[prisoner]]'s [[Datum|data]] banks to support his claim; upon this revelation, the Doctor reassured Davros that the credit for creating the Daleks still lied with him, despite the Quatch having indirectly caused Davros to create them. However, when the Doctor suggested that Davros could have lived a normal life if not for the Quatchs' role in causing the Kaled-Thal War, Davros defiantly declared that he would not have wanted a normal life, believing that the War had shaped him; despite this, Davros vowed to the Doctor that he would still achieve his [[revenge]], calling himself "a [[man]] of principle". Ultimately, Davros respected the Doctor enough to allow him an opportunity to escape the Quatch mothership before it was torn apart by Davros sending the Quatch back to their native dimension; the Doctor thanked Davros before leaving, with Davros insisting that both of them had things to thank each other for.
