Supremo


 * The Doctor has also used this as an alias. See separate discussion. For the Zarbi see Zarbi Supremo.

The Supremo was the leader of the Kaled nation in the time period prior to the creation of the Daleks.

He offered Davros the opportunity to take part in a mission to destroy a new Thal weapon development facility in exchange for career advancement. (BFD: Purity)

The Supremo came to fear Davros, and ordered Fenn to destroy his work and hurt Lady Calcula. When Davros learned of this and confronted the Supremo, he coerced him to have the Council grant complete autonomy to the Scientific Elite, to which the Supremo refused. When Davros was later crippled in a Thal attack, he hoped that Davros would use a poison injector to kill himself. However, Davros did not do so and went on to climb the ranks of the Scientific corps and even be his equal in power. This caused great concern for the Supremo and led him to try and get him either killed or excommunicated from the rest of Kaled society. However, these attempts were futile due to Davros being one step ahead of him. (BFD: Corruption)

The Supremo monitored Nyder's mission to rescue Davros when he was captured by Colonel Murash. After Davros recovered, he rejected the scientist's request that all Kaled children be handed over for genetic experimentation in an attempt to save the Kaled race. On receiving this news, Davros had the Supremo and the Council exterminated. After this, it is presumed that Davros took control of the government. (BFD: Guilt)
