Senior Researcher

Ronson

skeptical morally conflicted fearful dissenting

Ronson works as a senior researcher in the Kaled Science Division inside Skaro's elite bunker. He questions captured intruders like the Doctor and Harry with initial skepticism. Davros's Dalek prototypes spark his moral crisis: he hesitates, trembles, disables machinery to shield the Doctor, confesses the eugenics shift on mutated Kaleds, shares escape routes, and admits lapses that let Sarah Jane Smith and Sevrin flee. He hopes they convince Kaled leaders to halt Davros. Davros later brands him a Thal spy and commands the new Daleks to execute him. Ronson pleads for mercy as their first victim.
