| ~ The Supreme Dalek |
The Supreme Dalek is a variant of the Daleks stated as being the highest-ranking member of Dalek society - surpassing even Davros himself in terms of power - and a major antagonist in the British sci-fi series Doctor Who.
Appearance
It resembles a modern Dalek but has noticeable differences. One such is that he had a red coloration, gold hemispheres, collar and neck rings, three plinth-mounted dome lights featuring cages with three, rather than four uprights, and large golden clamps connecting its shoulders to an extended neck bin.
History
During the Dalek Civil War, a Supreme Dalek led the Renegade Daleks, who fought against Davros' Imperial Daleks.
A new Supreme Dalek appears as the leader of the new Dalek Empire (and acts as one of the main antagonists (next to Davros) of the finale of the 2008 series), where it was used by Davros to lead his army of Daleks. It is destroyed by Captain Jack Harkness.
Another Supreme Dalek acts as the leader of the New Dalek Paradigm in the Eleventh Doctor's Era. This Dalek was also a high-ranking member The Alliance of the Pandorica, possibly even it's leader.
In the episodes The Magician's Apprentice and The Witch's Familiar another Supreme Dalek (similar to the one in Journey's End) served as leader to the Daleks that captured Clara Oswald and Missy. He also ordered their supposed extermination. He along with the other Dakeks are attacked and destroyed by the Daleks that lived in Skaro's sewers before the city's collapse.
