Canon
Name: Dalek
Age: Various
Species: Mutant Kaleds
Planet of Origin: Skaro
Occupation: Greatest Race in the universe
Physical Description: A Silver Trashcan with a magic death wand attached.
Personality: Daleks had little to no individual personality and a strict hierarchy. They were conditioned to obey a superior's orders without question. Ultimately, the most fundamental feature of Dalek culture and psychology was an unquestioned belief in the superiority of the Daleks. Other species were either to be exterminated immediately, or enslaved and then exterminated later once they were no longer necessary. The default directive of a Dalek was to destroy all non-Dalek lifeforms.
History: Dear Lord:
On the planet Skaro, during the final days of the Thousand Year War between the Thals and Kaleds, both sides began to suffer mutations caused by the use of nuclear, biological and chemical agents. Some of the mutant survivors, the mutoes, managed to survive in the wastelands. Shan, a young Kaled scientist, authored a paper that theorized that with both Kaleds and Thals competing for resources, she called the only way out of this dilemma "the Dalek Solution". Davros took the paper and presented it to the Kaled Council as his own. Another account says that Davros had found a prophecy in the forbidden Book of Predictions which stated that one day mortals would transcend into gods. The last word, said aloud, sounded like dal ek.
The first Daleks
Subsequently, Davros now crippled, was one of the Kaled Scientific Elite. He had begun experiments on living subjects and hoped to deify the Kaled race. Davros pushed through legislation enabling authority (and ownership) of all Kaled infants under the age of five years old and to be delivered to Pediatric Facility K-99, which he used as a laboratory to do surgical experiments. Davros transplanted the brain from Baran, a captured Thal spy, into a Mark I Travel Machine.
Davros reveals the Daleks:
Davros did not immediately show the results of his Dalek experiments to the Kaled Scientific Elite. He had improved and developed the shell for the organic components of the Daleks, housing them in tank-like and armed Mark III Travel Machines similar to those like his own life support chair. He maintained a nursery of embryonic Dalek young. As well as nurturing the physical form of his creations, Davros shaped their minds. The Daleks did not understand concepts such as pity. It did not exist in their "vocabulary banks".
The Doctor was sent on a mission by the Time Lords to prevent the creation of the Daleks in the first place, or at the very least lessen the damage they would do in future. Many other members of Kaled Scientific Elite attempted to shut down the Dalek project. To prevent this, Davros arranged for the Thals to aim a missile at the Kaled Dome where his people resided. (DW: Genesis of the Daleks)
Though he did not say so, the Time Lord representative who had approached the Doctor with this mission may very well have worked for the Celestial Intervention Agency.
The Daleks revolt against their creator:
The Daleks were then sent to exterminate the Thals, supposedly in retaliation for the attack on the Kaled Dome. They later turned on Davros, as they were not programmed to recognize any creature was superior to them, which included him, and apparently killed him. Accidentally, whilst attempting to stop the Doctor, Dalek triggered an explosion which destroyed the embryo room, before the Thals sealed the bunker entrance and trapped the Daleks there. In the aftermath, the Doctor believed that he had only held back their progress by about a thousand years or so, and that they would return. Davros survived his "death" in a state of suspended animation.
Additional medical information: We are superior!
Not 100% sure this one isn't taken..

Oh my word, DALEKS!!
Try to say it with me...Doctor. It's a simple soft sound, not the brick-cracking emphasis you use. How would you like it if I went around calling you DAL-EKS!, eh?
