Dalek Prime

The Dalek Prime was a senior-ranking Dalek according to some accounts. The title may have been interchangeable with that of Dalek Supreme, much in the same way that the Supreme was occasionally referred to as the Black Dalek.

The Dalek Prime is variously the last survivor of the Daleks created first-hand by Davros, the leader of the Daleks on Skaro (the Supreme commanding off-world operations), and an amalgam of the Supreme and the Dalek Emperor. (DWN: The Chase (novelisation), The Evil of the Daleks (novelisation), EDA: War of the Daleks)

During the Shoreditch Incident, the Doctor apparently tricked Davros into destroying Skaro. (DW: Remembrance of the Daleks, MA: Who Killed Kennedy) The Doctor was later taken to what was apparently Skaro, with the Dalek Prime in command. It told the Doctor that Antalin had been destroyed in Skaro's place. The Daleks loyal to the Dalek Prime then won a battle against those loyal to Davros. The Dalek Prime ordered Davros executed, but he may have been teleported to safety. The Dalek Prime declared that the Daleks would rebuild. (EDA: War of the Daleks)

The Dalek Prime was encountered by the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth incarnations of the Doctor and was finally trapped in a time loop created by the fifth. (BFA: The Four Doctors)
