Rusty (Into the Dalek)

"Rusty" was the name given by the Twelfth Doctor to a Dalek that was captured by the forces of Combined Galactic Resistance. Voicing his belief that the Daleks needed to be exterminated, "Rusty" was investigated by the Doctor, only to see if it was possible for a "moral Dalek" to exist.

Biography
Seeing the birth of a star triggered a realisation in Rusty of the inevitability of life returning despite the efforts of the Daleks. The Doctor, Clara Oswald, Journey Blue, Ross and Gretchen Carlisle were shrunk and ventured into Rusty to try to fix the damage that was killing him. Using his sonic screwdriver, the Doctor repaired a crack in Rusty's power source that was leaking radiation and killing him.

However, without the radiation affecting him, Rusty turned immoral again, restored to full power and went on a rampage, killing several soldiers and sending a distress call that attracted a nearby Dalek flying saucer. Upon urging from Clara, the Doctor decided to try to turn Rusty moral again and had Clara reactivate his suppressed memories so he could see the birth of the star again and be reminded of the universe's beauty.

Clara succeeded and the Doctor telepathically linked with Rusty to show him more from inside his own mind. At first it seemed the Doctor had succeeded, but the beauty Rusty saw was in the destruction of the New Dalek Empire by the Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor who Rusty saw as evil. (TV: Journey's End)

Rusty then went on a rampage against his own kind, slaughtering the Daleks attacking the Aristotle and calling for a retreat by the saucer, claiming the ship's self-destruct had been activated. Rusty left with the Daleks to continue his efforts against them, telling the Doctor that there are no good Daleks but that the Doctor would make a good one himself. (TV: Into the Dalek)

Memories
While he presumably did not participate in these events, Rusty had access to the memories of Henry Van Statten's "Metaltron" exterminating Bywater as it escaped the Vault in the Battle of GeoComTex (TV: Dalek) and Davros's New Dalek Empire attacking the Valiant during the 21st century Dalek invasion of Earth (TV: The Stolen Earth). The destruction of the Daleks, the fleet and the Crucible at the failure of said invasion (TV: Journey's End) were memories shared by both Rusty and the Doctor. (TV: Into the Dalek). This may all be a result of "Rusty"'s connection to the Pathweb (TV: Asylum of the Daleks).

Despite the fact that the Daleks regained knowledge of the Doctor from Tasha Lem in the Siege of Trenzalore (TV: The Time of the Doctor), "Rusty" seemed to have no knowledge of the Doctor, calling him by his name only because of the role that he played in 'healing' Rusty. It is unclear whether Rusty regained that knowledge once Clara reactivated his suppressed memories and the Doctor telepathically linked with him. (TV: Into the Dalek)
