Dalek Sec was originally the leader of the Cult of Skaro. Sec served as the Dalek Commander throughout the Battle of Canary Wharf against the Cybermen. When all the other Daleks and Cybermen got sucked into the void, Sec and the other three Daleks Temporal Shifted away to New York in 1930. The four Daleks created their secret base beneath the Empire State Building, and began experiments to create Dalek mutants. But Sec wanted to go further. The Final Experiment would blend human with Dalek! After proving to be useful for the building plans for the state building, and starting to ‘act like a Dalek’, they took Mr. Diagoras as the human half of the experiment. The hybrid had a slimy, wrinkled face, with one eye six tentacles protruding from the lower part of the face and the brain showing. He wore the clothes Mr Diagoras wore when taken in. During this new form, Sec became more human after time, and started to feel human feelings and emotions, which the other Daleks found impure, and did not like! He started to feel that their creator was wrong about the Dalek race. He also did not kill the Doctor when he had the chance, but admired his intelligence, and asked him to help with the mutations. The other Daleks betrayed their leader, and Caan took control. He eventually died when the Daleks tracked the Doctor, and took Sec with them. They were about to kill the Doctor, when Sec got in the way on purpose, and was exterminated. They exterminated their own leader! The Doctor showed his respect for Sec by calling him the "cleverest Dalek ever" and the only creature that could have led the Daleks from the darkness.
