~ Dalek Sec upon making his first appearance
This is not war, this is PEST control!
~ Dalek Sec's most famous quote while declaring to wipe out the Cybermen.
I am a human Dalek. I am your future.
~ Dalek Sec after he is transformed into the Human/Dalek hybrid.

Dalek Sec is one of the two secondary antagonists (alongside Dalek Caan) in the Tenth Doctor's Era of Doctor Who, serving as the main antagonist of Series 2 of the revival.

He was the leader of the Cult of Skaro and like his brethren was unlike most of his species, being more creative and pragmatic in his search for new methods of Dalek survival and expansion. These differences which would ultimately prove to be his downfall when he strayed too far for the fundamentals of the Dalek species.

He was voiced by Nicholas Briggs as with all of the other Daleks. In his Human Dalek form, however, he was portrayed by Eric Loren, who also portrayed Mr. Diagoras in the same episodes.

Appearance[]

He is unique among the Daleks in that he has a totally jet black, glossy shell. His true Dalek mutant is lime green and has longer tentacles than others in his species.

As the Human Dalek, he had the body of Mr. Diagoras making him a tall, slim humanoid figure with reddish brown skin and a head with several tentacles drooping from the sides with one blue eye and a partially exposed brain. In this form he also wears a double breasted black pinstripe suit and black and white tap shoes, the same clothes Diagoras wore before being merged with him, albeit more bashed.

Personality[]

As leader of the Cult of Skaro, Dalek Sec was more intelligent and creative than most Daleks; indeed, the Doctor thought that he was the cleverest Dalek to have ever existed. He appeared to be far more excitable and emotional than any other Dalek and even expressed his own opinions, while also being able to take on conversations with people such as The Doctor and Rose Tyler. He was also more open minded to change and unpurifying his race than any other Dalek, leading to him using himself as a Guinea pig for the Final Experiment. Unlike his brethren, he was able to acknowledge when a different race appeared to hold an advantage that the Daleks didn't, such as humanity's ability to survive and propagate.

As a Human Dalek, his personality gradually changed; he initially absorbed the desired human traits of ambition and warlike inclinations, however, other human elements began to change him, such as compassion, forgiveness, and empathy. He became remorseful and even accepted the Doctor's help, as he wanted to make sure the Daleks would survive without killing any more people. This makes him the first Dalek to ever truly reform and accept his newly found humanity with him becoming far more sensitive and pacifistic than his underlings. Diagoras was a spiteful and sociopathic human, but none of his personality remained, and only his human factor survived the fusion - the pure genetic material that allows access to every human attribute.

Despite centuries of having the Doctor as an enemy, upon his evolution, he began to appreciate the Doctor's genius, instead of fear it as he did as a pure Dalek; likewise, he admired the Doctor's kindness and capacity for mercy. While enraged upon the rebellion by the rest of the Cult of Skaro, he would eventually try to appeal to their logic in an attempt to spare them from obedience to usual Dalek dogma of conquest and hatred, which would lead to their own self-destruction. When his former subordinate Dalek Thay tried to shoot the Doctor, Sec stood to intercept the blast, sacrificing his own life to save a former foe, showing he had acquired true nobility.

Biography[]

According to the short story "Birth of a Legend", the Dalek that would later become Dalek Sec was Commander of the Dalek army's Seventh Incursion Squad. His last mission with this unit was on Planet Magella, to destroy the Mechonoids. He ordered the destruction of the Mechonoid city when they attempted to destroy its power reactor in an act of mutually assured destruction, but not before withdrawing all Dalek forces from the fighting. This resulted in the Daleks suffering no losses, and the destruction of the Mechonoids. The Commander was then summoned back to Skaro, for an audience with the Dalek Emperor, while the rest of the Squad was left to finish operations.

Correctly foreseeing the Great Time War between Daleks and Time Lords, the Emperor had observed the actions of four Daleks (the Commander, a Force Leader in the Outer Rim Defence Battalion, the Commandant of Station Alpha research facility, and an Attack Squad Leader from the Thirteenth Assault Group), all showing initiative, going beyond following orders. The Emperor decreed that this quartet would be the Cult of Skaro, tasked with ensuring the survival of the Dalek species through any and all means, and were outfitted with new casings and weapons; in Sec's case, he received a reinforced black casing.

The Cult of Skaro

Dalek Sec and the Cult of Skaro.

Sec and the Cult of Skaro escaped the Great Time War by going into the Void in a special ship and reappearing on Earth. Through a crack in space made by the void ship, the Cybermen were also able to leave their parallel universe and fight the humans at first, and later against the Cult of Skaro; the Daleks were confidant in their triumph, as neither humans nor Cybermen - at their current state of technology - could even damage them. In the end, the Tenth Doctor was able to have the armies of the Daleks and the Cybermen sucked back into the void while the Cult of Skaro used emergency temporal shift to escape to 1920s New York, leaving them the final four Daleks in existence.

Dalek Sec wanted to evolve the Daleks into a more adaptive species, as such they mutated some humans into porcine humanoid slaves, which they'd use to kidnap hundreds of humans from Hooverville, which they'd hollow out to replace with Dalek DNA. Also as a part of his plan, Sec became a "Human Dalek" by taking the body of Mr. Diagoras to link his DNA with humans. Sec developed emotions and recruited the Doctor in the plan to revive the hollow humans as Dalek-Human hybrids, but with a stronger ratio favouring humanity to ensure the new race would survive and lose its hateful nature; however, Dalek Caan became the new cult leader and the rest of the Cult of Skaro turned on him, thus captured Dalek Sec and chaining him up. Sec warned the Cult that choosing destruction would mean destruction would ultimately find them; he was accidentally killed by Dalek Thay soon after this as he put himself between Thay's weapon blast and the Doctor.

Sec's warning came to pass sooner than expected. The Human-Daleks had received some Time Lord DNA through the Doctor placing himself between them and the solar strike that fueled their awakening; as such, they were "born" with free will and understanding that they aren't Daleks, thus the hybrids refused the order to kill the Doctor. Upon their disobedience, Jast and Thay opted to execute them. The Human-Daleks outnumbered them, however, thus the two Daleks were destroyed. From the control centre, Caan declared the experiment a failure, thereby activated a kill switch that existed in each Human-Dalek, leading to the extinction of the species.

The Doctor confronted Caan, and being weary of genocide, offered to help the Dalek to avoid a repetition, but Caan simply used another emergency temporal shift to escape. Even so, perhaps Sec planted an idea in Caan's mind, as when he would lose his sanity in the process of saving their creator Davros from the Time War, Caan would follow Sec's example by rejecting the Dalek creed of supremacy and extermination of other life.

Quotes[]

We would destroy the Cybermen with ONE Dalek! You are superior in only one respect. [...] You are better at dying!
~ Dalek Sec
No! I beg you! Don't!
~ Sec's last words.
