The Dalek Ambassador was a unique and singularly dangerous Dalek.

Although actually "dedicated to the Dalek cause of universal conquest and extermination", being no less ruthless and xenophobic than the average Dalek, the Ambassador was "highly intelligent and manipulative", with their "unyielding malevolence" cloaked by "their strategic prowess and ability to influence others". The Dalek Ambassador hada "menacing voice" and an "iconic appearance" based on the "classic Dalek design" (GAME: Worlds Apart [+]Doctor Who card games (Reality+, 2021).) based on the Golden Emperor's original casing (COMIC: Genesis of Evil [+]unclear authorship, The Daleks comics (City Magazines, 1965).) which was also mimicked by the Emperor of the Restoration's identical battle armour.

UNIT's visual interface contained a record of the Dalek Ambassador by February 2024. (WC: Incoming Transmission - February Update Video [+]Sasha Blore and Darren Fitzjohn, Time Lord Victorious (2024).)
