Danny Simmons

Simmons was a technician in the employ of Henry van Statten.

Biography
Simmons tortured the Dalek (which van Statten had named the "Metaltron") while van Statten attempted to discover what it was. He apparently enjoyed his job, and appeared to be cold and sadistic.

After the Dalek used Rose Tyler's DNA to regenerate itself, Simmons confronted the creature. He arrogantly mocked it, ignorant of the mortal danger he was in. He finally realised what he had truly been "working" with when the Dalek clamped its sucker onto his face, suffocating him and even crushing his skull. (TV: Dalek)

He is described as "Male subject. Age 30. American. Leading field researcher conducting experiments in Van Statten's laboratory. Heartless and sadistic. Must exterminate!"
