Character

Name: Davros

Fandom: 'Doctor Who'

History:
Responsible for creating the monolithic war machines, known as 'Daleks', Davros was, even amongst his own race, regarded as a fanatical genius. Chief amongst Kaled military scientists, Davros worked tirelessly to devise greater and more powerful weapons. Although known to have worked extensively on rockets, his expertise seemed to know no bounds, as the principles of genetics, direct energy, computer processing and much more, was eventually all used to create what would become the downfall of both sides in the campaign. Indeed, Davros even switched sides, purely to avoid his new Dalek creations from being aborted.

It is perhaps telling that, upon being given the hypothetical proposition of killing himself, in order to release a virus able to destroy all life, in its entirety, Davros found the idea compelling and, giving it due consideration, answered in the affirmative. His reasoning being that such an act would place him on the level of a supreme deity. More than this, he observed that it would mean his own work would continue to succeed, even after his death.

This was to become a key component in later rationalising of his objectives. Although the Daleks, ironically designed to exterminate anything showing even the slightest deviation from themselves, apparently killed him, they were also forced to resurrect their creator, in the knowledge that only he could bring them out of stagnation. Davros has, like most physically impaired dictators, shown only a greater, all-consuming lust for conquest and annihilation, yet is not above theoretical compromise, in order to continue advancing his latest inventions. Regarding himself as a "man of destiny", Davros has also constantly shown himself to be one of the few minds able to out-wit the Doctor on an intellectual level.

Although horrifically crippled, with only a central cybernetic 'eye' mounted in forehead and one functioning arm, it is this very intelligence which has continued to assist Davros in realising his every scheme. Whilst not necessarily a dangerous opponent in physical combat, Davros can be every bit the proverbial Hannibal Lector, considering everything as either a simple resource or something in need of study, so as to increase personal knowledge. Knowlege which, inevitably, gets put to use in improvements to weapons. to Davros, any atrocity is merely a tool, often charging those taking a dim view of such mentality as weak and hypocritical.

Obsessive genocidal impulse has since become his over-riding motivation. Nothing less than complete, universal obedience to his authority will do. Even so, not being beyond the capacity for a particularly subversive means to an end, Davros once presented himself as 'the Great Healer', using cryogenically preserved bodies to secretly create a new, more loyal race of 'Imperial' Daleks.

Abilities: What lacks in physical capability is more than made up for, with levels of scientific genius almost beyond compare. Automated chair device appears to contain defensive surprises. Seems willing to consider everything an expendable resource, including himself, in the pursuit to attain ultimate power.

Personality: All the menacing subtlety of Pinhead, transposed onto the template of Hitler's megalomania. Able to be goaded into impulsive decisions, but often in possession of intricate plans.
