User:SOTO/Forum Archive/The Panopticon/@comment-6032121-20190914173756/@comment-6032121-20200917213543 I've listened to Restoration of the Daleks now, it's definitely saying the Parting of the Ways Emperor is the Emperor, the original article — resurrected. Davros (or, rather, a duplicate with memories from a bunch of timelines, but that's not important) readily recognises him as his old rival for position of progenitor of the Daleks: these are his words moments after hearing the Emperor's broadcast announcing his resurrection to the world: "Not that creature! That obscenity! They are not his children!!… (…)"

- Davros

And here he is describing the Emperor to Bliss: "The Emperor usurped my power… he's the reason my children abandoned me! Centuries of Dalek against Dalek! A waste of potential."

- Also Davros

I think we can safely say that's the Dalek Prime against whom Davros fought the Imperial-Renegade Dalek Civil War, and who had these debates with him about who the true Creator of the Daleks was in War of the Daleks, right there.

Incidentally, it's very meta and would be nigh-impossible to cover on the Wiki in its intended way, but I think the following insane boast by the remembering-all-realities-at-once Davros, delivered to the Emperor, is in fact a reference to the retcons about whether the Emperor in Nemesis was Davros or the Prime: "I remember all realities! In some of them, you… and I… (cackle)… are the same! Nyahahahahahah!"

- Still Davros
