* AFatherToHisMen: A Dalek he may be, but Xenol cares for the lives of those under him and is outraged by how the Golden Emperor is turning the Dalek race into mindless drones loyal to his will.



* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Part of Xenol's CharacterDevelopment revolves around this. Over time, he comes to realize how pointless the Dalek's ForeverWar against the rest of the universe is, losing his FantasticRacism towards all other races and even calling out the Dalek Emperor for robing the Daleks themselves of their very "soul" through making them into functionally mindless automatons devoted solely to bloody (and futile) conquest. The comic ends with him, Yttral and others escaping to found a Second Dalek Empire focused on [[TheAlliance mutual co-operation and scientific advancement]] rather than genocide and war.]]

* MadScientist: Ytrall is considered this simply because he wants to do actual research, with his attempts to investigate ancient Kaled technology being blocked at every turn. He lampshades this in a small rant to himself:
-->"I am the first Science Dalek to actually do research in over five hundred years and yet they call me mad!"

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalHeroism: Due to being a CompositeCharacter, this version of Davros has committed far less atrocities than his counterpart from the TV show. Whereas TV Davros intentionally brought about the Kaleds destruction, Yarvelling Davros was mortified and ashamed by the idea he may have brought it about even if only by accident.
