Dalek 2

ruthless authoritarian tactical uncompromising ideologically driven
A tactical commander within the Dalek hierarchy, Dalek 2 enforces extermination directives with unyielding ruthlessness. Directly subordinate to higher-ranking Daleks but wielding significant operational authority, it coordinates Ogron forces, interfaces with the Controller during security failures, and spearheads the manhunt for the Doctor. Its actions repeatedly prioritize Dalek dominance over all other considerations, even when evaluating alternatives to violence. Mechanical precision combines with ideological inflexibility to produce constant demands for immediate suppression of perceived threats.
