Once the human factor was identified, it was experimentally transferred to test Daleks, creating three [[humanised Dalek]]s. The Doctor gave them the names [[Alpha (The Evil of the Daleks)|Alpha]], [[Beta (The Evil of the Daleks)|Beta]], and [[Omega (The Evil of the Daleks)|Omega]]. He later sabotaged a Dalek machine so that it instilled the human factor into any Dalek that passed through it, converting them into humanised Daleks as well.

Fleeing [[Skaro]] in the aftermath of the [[Dalek Civil War]], the "human factor Daleks" created by the gateway took refuge on the planet [[Kyrol]], with [[Alpha (The Evil of the Daleks)|Alpha]] acting as their leader. The [[Eighth Doctor]] learned of their existence a short time before they were destroyed, not by their Emperor-loyal brethren as they had feared, but in rebellion against the malevolent entity [[Kata-Phobus]].

When the "[[Metaltron]]" [[Dalek]] imprisoned in [[the Vault (Dalek)|the Vault]] by [[Henry van Statten]] drained [[artron energy]] from [[Rose Tyler]] via her touch as a way to regenerate itself, it accidentally absorbed her [[DNA]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]'') "infecting" it with the human factor.

Maddened and debilitated by its new freedom of thought, the Dalek eventually committed [[suicide]].

''[[The Discontinuity Guide]]'' speculates that, whilst under interrogation during his [[Genesis Incident|incursion on Skaro]], the [[Fourth Doctor]] had told Davros about the [[Human Factor Incident]], which later influenced the Dalek creator as he [[Necros Incident|converted]] [[Daleks of human origin|humans]] into [[Imperial Dalek|Dalek]]s on [[Necros]], Davros' conclusion being that, by possessing some of the Human Factor, the Daleks will not be slaves to logic and thus not be drawn into an impasse as [[Dalek-Movellan War|they had]] with the [[Movellan]]s.<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/episodeguide/dalekhistory1.shtml BBC.co.uk 'Discontinuity Guide' article on '''Dalek History: Part Two''' in the original series of ''Doctor Who'']</ref> | |||
