In [[2003]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Dalek Tapes (comic story)|The Dalek Tapes]]'') under the orders of Minister [[Zolfian]], he developed a mobile war machine for the war against the [[Thal]]s which he dubbed the [[Dalek War Machine]].

However, | In [[2003]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Dalek Tapes (comic story)|The Dalek Tapes]]'') or thousands of [[year]]s prior to the [[2060s]], under the orders of Minister [[Zolfian]], he developed a mobile war machine for [[Thousand Year War|the war]] against the [[Thal]]s which he dubbed the [[Dalek War Machine]]. Zolfian ordered the mass production of such machines to be readied. However, as the war effort increased, a freak [[meteorite storm]] detonated the [[neutron bomb]]s built and stashed away by the Daleks. Zolfian and Yarvelling survived in the war council chamber, turning into a [[fallout shelter]], and were believed to be the only unmutated survivors of their kind, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Genesis of Evil (comic story)|Genesis of Evil]]'') with the [[front page]] of ''[[TV 21|TV Century 21]]'' on [[30 January]] [[2065]] noting that Yarvelling and Zolfian had been the only reported survivors of the catastrophe, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Stingray Attacked! (short story)|Stingray Attacked!]]'') although in truth several other individuals had survived in stasis. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Legacy of Yesteryear (comic story)|Legacy of Yesteryear]]'') | ||

For two years following the | For two years following the neutron explosion between the Daleks and the Thals, nothing stirred on Skaro. Believing radiation levels to have dropped sufficiently, Zolfian and Yarvelling finally emerged from their shelter; where Zolfian's main ambition was to destroy any surviving Thals, Yarvelling was more worried about locating surviving Daleks. | ||
However, they quickly found the surface of [[Skaro]] to be devastated, and contracted [[radiation]] sickness themselves. They were discovered by a [[Dalek mutant|mutation]], [[Dalek Prime|the first member]] of the race the rest of the universe would soon know as the [[Dalek]]s; Yarvelling realised with fascination that the creature it had become was "a thousand times superior" in intelligence to himself and Zolfian, and observed that, being "all brain", it had taken to inhabiting the very war machine Yarvelling had developed, using it as a travel machine and a protection against the radiations. Before they died, Yarvelling and Zolfian rebuilt the war factory, started a Dalek production line, and made a special casing for the first Dalek, who would soon declare itself the [[Dalek Emperor]]. The two humanoids died of radiation sickness just as the casing was completed.

Yarvelling's creation of the Dalek War Machines and subsequent death 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]].

At a much later point in Dalek history, the [[Dalek Prime]] claimed that, despite [[Davros]] claiming otherwise, Davros had not actually invented the [[Dalek]] [[casing|travel machine]], having instead stolen the designs of "other scientists". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[War of the Daleks (novel)|War of the Daleks]]'') Other accounts suggested Davros had indeed developed the casing, however.
