Among other events the Doctor was there at the creation of the Daleks. The Daleks destroyed the TimeLords and Gallifrey. What I meant is that the history of the Daleks and The Doctor is intertwined to an incredible degree.

I was trying to be polite, but saying the Daleks were “introduced in 2005″ shows quite a lack of familiarity with the basic mythology, and some familiarization is in order.

A hardback, full of photos from day 1 and geeky tit bits, it’s a wonderful introduction to the Doctor’s greatest enemy. https://www.bookdepository.co.uk/Doctor-Who-Dalek-Handbook-Steve-Tribe/9781849902328

I concur with Alex’s comments. You really must be very young and in that regard it’s wonderful that you’ve taken to the new Who with a passion. You can’t possibly truly understand the Doctor without a reasonably comprehensive knowledge of the Classic series. I’m blessed to be 3 months older than the creation date of Doctor Who, and whilst I missed the first two Doctors, it was with the 3rd and 4th that I grew up. An inexpensive paperback and good introduction is Mark Campbell’s “Doctor Who The Complete Guide”. It provides a synopsis and personal evaluation of each and every episode from Episode 1, Series 1, until the end of the 5th season of the new series (the 11th Doctor’s first year). With an excellent index, it allows you to easily select a “monster” and review its history. Whilst there are more comprehensive (and geeky) books, this is certainly a good start. Check it out and enjoy your Whovian journey into history! https://www.bookdepository.co.uk/Brief-Guide-Doctor-Who-Mark-Campbell/9781849015875

Too many writers regard Doctor Who as beginning with Eccleston in 2005, and ignore the legacy. If you’re going to write about The Doctor, you really need to look back a bit. All those past regenerations make him who (no pun intended) he is today. Or in the future… or in the past. You know, all that wibbly wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

The Doctor and the Daleks are literally joined at the hip.

“Even as early as the Daleks’ introduction in the 2005 series…”

You do know that The Doctor has a long, long history with the Daleks, going back to the first season of the first Doctor (William Hartnell).
