Nyder

Nyder was a secondary character featured in the BBC television series Doctor Who. Played by actor Peter Miles, he was introduced in the first chapter of the "Genesis of the Daleks" serial. He appeared in all six chapters of the story-arc.

Nyder was the Security Commander of the Kaleds on the planet Scaro. An efficient often ruthless man, he answered only to the Kaleds' supreme scientist Davros. Nyder often clashed with General Ravon, head of the Kaled military, but due to his association with Davros, he actually held greater authority than Ravon. When the Doctor and his associate Harry Sullivan came to Scaro, Nyder had them apprehended and placed in a prison cell. Nyder didn't believe that they were actually alien beings as they had claimed, and was more willing to accept the idea that they were an advanced form of Muto (an offshoot mutated breed of Kaled).
