Davros (Unbound Universe)

In a parallel universe, Davros was a Kaled scientist who created the Daleks on Skaro during the Kaled-Thal War. However, after coming to believe that the Daleks could never achieve his vision for them, he betrayed his creations to serve the Quatch Empire as their Chief Technician, oblivious to the Quatchs' role in the Kaled-Thal War.

When he returned to Skaro decades after leaving, Davros assisted the Quatch in their second attempt to conquer Skaro for the dimensional energy located at the planet's core. However, after the Doctor of this universe revealed to Davros the Quatchs' role in igniting the war that lead to Davros creating the Daleks, Davros betrayed the Quatch and exacted revenge on them, forcefully sending them back to their native dimension - an act which cost him his life.

The Kaled-Thal War
During the Quatch Empire's first attempt to conquer this universe's Skaro, Davros worked as a scientist for the Kaleds, and was severely mutilated and crippled after a Quatch attack (although Davros was completely unaware of the Quatch's responsibility for the attack), forcing Davros to use an advanced life-support chair to survive. Eventually, the Kaleds attempted to shut down Davros' experiments; he responded by betraying his people to serve the Thals instead.

Davros was ultimately responsible for ending the Kaled-Thal War that was provoked by the Quatch after they failed to conquer Skaro. Davros did so by creating the Daleks, although unlike his N-Space counterpart, Davros created two types of Daleks. One race, who Davros later referred to as "the Renegades", were effectively identical to the Daleks his N-Space counterpart created, lacking any degree of pity or mercy. These Daleks attempted to murder Davros, and eventually abandoned their creator and Skaro to conquer the universe. However, the second Dalek race retained a concept of pity and mercy, albeit in a heavily distorted form, as part of Davros' attempts to create a race of Daleks that were strong and intelligent, but remained loyal to their creator. Davros spent years confined to the Dalek City, working on the Daleks; during this time, he also created the first Black Dalek, who served as Davros' conduit to the City.

Abandoning his creations
However, over the years, Davros came to believe that he could never develop the Daleks to perfectly achieve his original vision for them. Eventually, Davros was contacted by the Quatch, who had learnt of him after encountering some of the Renegades, and desired to recruit Davros, due to fearing that he would perfect the Daleks and make them even more powerful than the Quatch; Davros, disappointed by his "children", accepted the Quatch's invitation to join the Quatch Empire, although he remained unaware of the Quatch's true reasons for recruiting him, or of their involvement in the stokings of the Kaled-Thal War. Davros discreetly left Skaro in a small spaceship to join the Quatch, without informing the Daleks first, and ultimately spent decades serving as the Quatch Empire's Chief Technician. Eventually, the Daleks loyal to Davros also left Skaro to find their creator, who they believed had gone on a "spiritual quest".

The second Quatch assault
Davros finally returned to Skaro, decades after he left, with the Quatch, after the latter had captured some of Davros' loyal Daleks and made preparations for a second attack on Skaro. After the Quatch mothership landed in the hub of the Dalek City, Davros teleported to the Thal incubation laboratory after two Quatch also teleported in and extinguished the fire that Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart and Nadel had started. Desiring to avert the conflict between the Daleks and the Quatch, as well as restore the Daleks to his original vision for them, Davros ordered the Quatch to take Alistair and Nadel to a holding cell, along with any Daleks the Quatch found; however, he remained undecided as to whether to convert the Thals into Daleks, or to simply exterminate them all in revenge for their ancestors' actions in the Kaled-Thal War.

Having ordered for the Daleks to be disarmed but kept alive to potentially be reprogrammed to serve the Quatch, Davros travelled to the Dalek hub and confronted the disarmed Black Dalek. He was alarmed to learn that the current Black Dalek not only mistook him for an imposter, but that the Daleks had recently begun a civil conflict on Skaro, after a Dalek claimed to be Davros and went rogue, causing the Daleks to fight over whether to serve the Black Dalek or the Dalek claiming to be Davros. Furious that the Daleks had returned to Skaro to protect the Thals, Davros explained to the Black Dalek why he left Skaro and the Daleks behind, before revealing his intention to propose a deal with the Daleks: those who were still loyal to their creator would be allowed to survive if they served the Quatch Empire, while those who did not accept these conditions would be exterminated. The Black Dalek, unable to argue against Davros, broadcasted across all of Skaro, informing the Daleks of Davros' return, with Davros himself confirming that the Dalek claiming to be Davros was defective and disillusioned. The Black Dalek also explained Davros' terms, and Davros ordered for all Daleks still loyal to their creator to go to the Dalek City for reprocessing.

Learning the truth
However, after the Doctor revealed that the Quatch were responsible for his crippled state, Davros betrayed them by remotely sabotaging the systems that kept the Quatch in this dimension, the resulting destruction killing him as well. (AUDIO: Masters of War)
