Davros' Genesis: The First Dalek's Birth in Blood

Davros’ artificial eye, embedded in his forehead, glows faintly amid his scarred and mechanical features. It is a symbol of his transformation—no longer fully human, but something else, something more aligned with the machines he creates. The eye serves as a visual metaphor for his detachment from morality and his embrace of the Daleks’ genocidal purpose. It is the literal and figurative lens through which he views the world: cold, calculating, and devoid of empathy.

Before: Functional and glowing, part of Davros’ permanent cybernetic enhancements.

After: Unchanged—it remains a constant feature of Davros’ appearance, a reminder of his inhumanity.
