Davros is a scientist from the planet Skaro whose people, the Kaleds, were engaged in a bitter thousand-year war of attrition with their enemies, the Thals. Horribly scarred and crippled for reasons that are never explained, with only one functioning arm and one cybernetic eye mounted on his forehead, for much of his existence he depended completely upon a self-designed mobile life-support chair which enclosed the lower half of his body. It would become an obvious inspiration for his eventual design of the Dalek.Davros is a megalomaniac who believes that through his creations, the Daleks, he can become the supreme being and ruler of the universe. He is a brilliant scientist who has demonstrated mastery of robotics, metallurgy, chemistry, artificial intelligence, cloning, genetic engineering, biology, military tactics, and cybernetics.
