Dalek Time Commander

The Dalek Time Commander, (PROSE: Mission to the Known) usually referred to as simply the Time Commander, (PROSE: The Guide to the Dark Times et al) was a unique Dalek loyal to the Emperor of the Restoration, and overall commander of the Dalek Time Squad, a team of Time-Sensitive Daleks deployed by the Emperor to attempt to make history "more favourable" to the Daleks, after several divergences in time were detected (PROSE: The Guide to the Dark Times) which rewrote history. The divergences investigated by the Time Commander, along with the rest of the Dalek Time Squad, were caused by the Tenth Doctor's attempt to render the Kotturuh extinct during the Dark Times.

Physical appearance
The Dalek Time Commander's casing was similar to those of the Dalek drones of the Restoration Empire; it resembled the casing of a bronze Dalek, but was coloured a gunmetal silver instead of bronze and gold. Unlike the casings of the Dalek drones, its sense globes were also coloured a gunmetal silver, with a blue ring at their base. Its luminosity dischargers and the lens of its eyestalk were both white.

Biography
When the Daleks of the Restoration Empire (PROSE: The Restoration Empire) began detecting divergences across time, the Dalek Time Commander was placed in charge of the Dalek Time Squad by the Emperor of the Restoration to investigate the divergences, (PROSE: The Guide to the Dark Times) which had been caused by the Tenth Doctor's attempt to render the Kotturuh extinct during the Dark Times.

When the Dalek Time Squad captured the Eighth Doctor and his TARDIS, (AUDIO: He Kills Me, He Kills Me Not) in order to travel to the Dark Times, the Dalek Time Commander had the Doctor brought to him by the Dalek Prime Strategist, whilst ordering the Dalek Executioner to stand down after the Executioner aggressively desired to exterminate the Doctor. The Dalek Time Commander explained the Dalek Time Squad's mission to Wrax to the Doctor, who agreed to help them, and the Time Squad travelled to Wrax to investigate how the planet and the Wraxians had come to exist, as in the original timeline, Wrax was merely an asteroid without any kind of native species. The Daleks were also interested in the Wraxians’ superweapon, the Devolver. Whilst the Strategist and the Doctor examined the Wraxians’ gallery, the Commander met with the Wraxian President, accompanied by the Scientist and Executioner. She agreed to consider an alliance and to demonstrate the Devolver, however then betrayed them and trapped the three Daleks. Realising she intended to use the Devolver against them, the Commander ordered the Silver Daleks to invade Wrax and they escaped. The Strategist convinced him to let the Doctor negotiate with the President and to accept the subsequent deal, that the Daleks withdraw in return for the Devolver’s dismantling and the Doctor telling them his theory on the source of the alterations. The Commander secretly sent the Executioner back to Wrax to use the Devolver to wipe out the Wraxians. Whilst the Doctor connected his TARDIS to the timeship’s engines to enable it to reach the Dark Times, the Strategist conferred with the Commander, believing the Doctor had been successfully manipulated.

Psychological profile
Melody Malone described the Time Commander as "ruthless even by Dalek standards". It was "determined" to seize any opportunity awarded to the Daleks by the fluctuations in Time, willing to go to worrisome lengths to achieve its people's goal of supremacy. It was, however, "fiercely loyal" to the Emperor Dalek. (PROSE: The Guide to the Dark Times)
