Davros is a character from the long-running British science fiction
television series Doctor Who. He was created by screenwriter Terry
Nation, originally for the 1975 serial Genesis of the Daleks. Davros
is a major enemy of the series' protagonist, the Doctor, and is the
creator of the Doctor's deadliest enemies, the Daleks. Davros is a
genius who has mastered many areas of science, but also a megalomaniac
who believes that through his creations he can become the supreme
being and ruler of the Universe. The character has been compared to
the infamous dictator Adolf Hitler several times, including by the
actor Terry Molloy, while Julian Bleach defined him as a cross between
Hitler and the renowned scientist Stephen Hawking.Davros is from the
planet Skaro, whose people, the Kaleds, were engaged in a bitter
thousand-year war of attrition with their enemies, the Thals. He is
horribly scarred and disabled, a condition that various spin-off media
attribute to his laboratory being attacked by a Thal shell. He has one
functioning hand and one cybernetic eye mounted on his forehead to
take the place of his real eyes, which he is not able to open for
long; for much of his existence he depends completely upon a
self-designed mobile life-support chair in place of his lower body. It
would become an obvious inspiration for his eventual design of the
Dalek. The lower half of his body is absent and he is physically
incapable of leaving the chair for more than a few minutes without
dying. Davros' voice, like those of the Daleks, is electronically
distorted. His manner of speech is generally soft and contemplative,
but when angered or excited he is prone to ranting outbursts that
resemble the hysterical, staccatissimo speech of the Daleks.Davros
first appeared in the 1975 serial Genesis of the Daleks, written by
Terry Nation. Nation, creator of the Dalek concept, had deliberately
modelled elements of the Daleks' character on Nazi ideology, and
conceived of their creator as a scientist with strong fascist
tendencies. The physical appearance of Davros was developed by visual
effects designer Peter Day and sculptor John Friedlander, who based
Davros' chair on the lower half of a Dalek. Producer Philip
Hinchcliffe told Friedlander to consider a design similar to the Mekon
from the Eagle comic Dan Dare, with a large dome-like head and a
withered body. Davros Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
