Who is Davros?

History The earliest records of Davros' life come from his childhood. He was born during the Thousand Year War between the Kaleds and Thals on Skaro. He once claimed his mother was the only person to have ever supported him, and others were often intimidated by his determination to go against his father's will by wanting to become a scientist instead of a soldier, like all his elders were. Davros was eventually forced into the military to supply the Kaleds with new and efficient fire arms to fight with, and he was recognized for wanting no part of compromising with the opposing Thals in that war. Early into his scientific career he began experimenting with live organisms, ones with intelligence no less, and he even taught his experiments his name. His first project was not produced by a Kaled life, but he instead favored the use of a Thal brain. Davros' life support chair In one incident having to do with the war, Davros was mortally wounded by the opposing forces, and he was forced to live out the rest of his days on a mobile life support system. This life support system was mentioned to be vital to his survival, and that he could not survive any longer than thirty seconds without.
