=== Death === | |||
In [[2003]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Dalek Tapes (comic story)|The Dalek Tapes]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Dalek Dictionary (feature)|The Dalek Dictionary]]'') or thousands of [[year]]s prior to the [[2060s]], he demanded that [[War Minister of the Daleks|War Minister]] [[Zolfian]] end his plans to destroy the [[Thal]]s through the use of [[neutron bomb]]s, accusing him of tampering with forces beyond his control and warning that he might destroy the entirety of [[Skaro]] should he continue. Zolfian instead shot and killed Drenz, declaring that he was unfit to rule the Daleks. However, Drenz's predictions would soon prove true when the bombs were inadvertently detonated by [[fire]]s resulting from a [[meteorite storm]], devastating Skaro and all but wiping out the original Dalek race.

Drenz's [[assassination]] was chronicled in the [[Dalek Tapes]], a collection of [[tape]]s found by [[the Doctor]] in an ancient [[library]] on [[Planet (The Dalek Tapes)|a twilight world]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Dalek Tapes (comic story)|The Dalek Tapes]]'') The story was also told in the pages of ''[[TV 21|TV Century 21]]'' in [[2065]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Genesis of Evil (comic story)|Genesis of Evil]]'') and in [[2094]] as an instalment of the [[Dalek Chronicles]].

Something akin to the story of Yarvelling, Drenz and Zolfian was one of the [[myth|creation myths]] formulated by species conquered by the Daleks about their oppressors. The myth, however, altered certain details, speaking of the "[[Ocean of Ooze|Sea of Ooze]]" and suggesting the [[Dalek War Machine]]s were originally intended to be autonomous robots. [[Human]] historians who recorded the myth at length in their history of the Daleks did not give it much credence, though they granted that, for one moment at least, the Yarvelling story may have briefly "become" the true origin of the Daleks at one point during the [[Last Great Time War]].
