Day 394: Genesis of the Daleks Part 3

Lurking in the shadows of the story so far is Davros, the creator of the Daleks. Aside from his disfigured appearance and apparent lack of care for anything other than the Daleks, he has not had much worth commenting on so far. At this point in the story, however, we begin to truly see the way in which Davros operates. We first begin our suspicions when Davros is called for an inquiry and told to shut down his experiments within 12 hours. He accepts these terms and goes off on his merry way. But through all of this acceptance of terms, there is the underlying current that he is lying, and that he will have some other way to continue these experiments. Indeed he does, as we see that he has leaked valuable information to the Thals in exchange for his survival, and the survival of his experiments. We now truly get the measure of the man. He is someone who puts his dedication to his experiments above all else, even the survival of his own race. He is a nasty piece of work, but he is also an inherently interesting character, and one who we look forward to seeing through the rest of this story.
