Doctor Who

The Dalek Strategist is a recurring Dalek character within the modern era of the BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who.

Distinguishable by its bronze casing and enhanced intelligence, the Strategist is responsible for overseeing and coordinating Dalek military operations. It is typically portrayed as being ruthlessly logical and utterly dedicated to the Dalek cause of universal domination.

Notable appearances include its role in the events surrounding the Movellan-Dalek war, where it implemented complex strategies to outmaneuver its robotic adversaries. It also played a significant part in the Dalek's assault on Earth, demonstrating its considerable tactical acumen in deploying forces and adapting to unforeseen circumstances, and using advanced technology to further its goals.

Though not often involved in direct combat, the Dalek Strategist is a key figure in the Dalek hierarchy, representing the intellectual and strategic depth of the species' collective consciousness, and proving a dangerous foe for the Doctor.
