Eternal Dalek

The first Eternal Dalek of the New Dalek Paradigm was created as one of five new Dalek types by the Progenitor aboard their last surviving ship above Earth in 1941 when the last three Daleks tricked the Eleventh Doctor into allowing them to activate the Progenitor device.

The five new Daleks escaped through a time corridor and went on to rebuild their empire, (TV: Victory of the Daleks) and remained its ultimate leaders until the institution of the Parliament of the Daleks with its Prime Minister.

After the decision-making of the Parliament was crippled by their forgetting the Doctor, (TV: Asylum of the Daleks) the original Paradigm Daleks returned to the leadership of the Empire. (PROSE:  The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe) When the Question was heard emanating from Trenzalore, the usually-silent Eternal Dalek relayed the prophecy of the Fall of the Eleventh to the Supreme Dalek, (PROSE:  The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe) driving the Supreme to take the Dalek Fleet into the Siege of Trenzalore where it was ultimately annihilated. (TV: The Time of the Doctor)

Behind the scenes

 * As with its fellow new Daleks, the Eternal Dalek in Victory of the Daleks was depicted with a specially created prop. This prop was later used to portray the Eternal Dalek in The Pandorica Opens.
