Battlestar galactica who is a cylon

The Number One model was the first model created by the Final Five , and assisted them in creating the other models of the Significant Eight. Unfortunately, the Number Ones eventually rebelled against the Five and exiled them to the Twelve Colonies with their memories erased. Prior to this, they eradicated the entire Number Seven model line out of jealousy, and secretly programmed their brothers and sisters of the other six models to lose all knowledge of their makers.

Number Two, better known as Leoben Conoy, has shown to be mystically oriented--making references to the oneness of the universe, the illusion of time, etc. The Two models also appear obsessed and fascinated with Kara Thrace and her special destiny. One model in particular claims to be in love with her and has tried to get her to return his affections, and to guide her towards fulfilling her destiny TRS : " Flesh and Bone "; " Occupation "; " Precipice "; " The Road Less Traveled ".

Two can be likened to the serpent of the Genesis tale in the Earth Christian Bible , taunting people with knowledge, then watching as the negative consequences come into devastating fruition.

First seen posing as a reporter from the Fleet News Service , this model created a documentary about the crew of Galactica - which was later shown on Cylon-occupied Caprica to a theatre full of Cylons, including a second copy of Number Three TRS : " Final Cut ". Threes are among the most calculating and duplicitous models shown to-date, even manipulating and deceiving other models if they feel warranted, though they've got nothing on the duplicity and manipulations of the Number Ones.

After the Threes defy other Cylon models in their attempt to discern the identity of the five missing Cylon humanoids , the other Cylons conclude that the Three model has an inherent flaw that threatens their overall reliability.

After the failure on the algae planet to gather information on the path to Earth , the Cylons have all Number Three models boxed indefinitely.

One of the goals of the rebel faction in the Cylon Civil War is to unbox D'Anna and learn what she knows. She is actually unboxed by Cavil and Boomer, who want to her to speak to the rebels and get them to stop fighting, but this discussion is interrupted by a joint Colonial and rebel Cylon attack on the Resurrection Hub TRS : " Rapture ". She is retrieved and assumes leadership of the rebels to make contact with the Final Five, eventually reaching Earth with the Colonial fleet, but decides to stay behind there and die, following the revelation that Earth is a barren nuclear wasteland TRS : " The Hub "; " Revelations "; " Sometimes a Great Notion ".

The first encountered copy of this model appeared under the alias " D'Anna Biers ", and the D'Anna name is used to describe the model as a whole. Posing as a doctor under the name Simon, this Number Four is actually involved with the Cylon hybridization program. Simon resembles a tall, somewhat thin middle-aged black man who speaks in a comforting strong voice TRS : " The Farm ". Simon is a model based primarily on human intellectualism and logic [11].

A Four model also infiltrated the Fleet prior to the occupation of New Caprica. Posing as a doctor enlisted in the Colonial Fleet under the name of Simon O'Neill, he escapes the destruction of the colonies aboard the Cybele with his adopted daughter and is later reunited with his wife Giana who he truly loved.

He killed himself beyond resurrection range ultimately to prevent himself betraying the Fleet. Another Four served as the team doctor for the Caprica Buccaneers at the time of the attack and fought as a part of Anders ' resistance. He was found out when the Resistance rescued Starbuck from another copy and was presumably killed for being a Cylon.

In any case, the model is now known to the general populace, many humans likely saw a Number Four model during the occupation and Starbuck revealed his existence upon her return to the Fleet. The Number Fours are part of Cavil's faction in the Cylon Civil War, and fill a crucial medical role in his schemes, being recruited to transfer vital information on resurrection technology from Ellen Tigh 's brain, and after the kidnapping of Hera , to examine and eventually dissect the hybrid child.

To the end, the Number Fours trust in cold logic and mathematics when considering the chances of Galactica emerging victorious in the Battle of the Colony. This model attempts to sow the seeds of discontent or confusion, particularly during crucial life-threatening situations, and endeavors to undermine authority that threatens his objectives TRS : " Miniseries ".

Number Five models are more covert than others, assuming an ordinary "everyman" appearance that's blended in what may seem to be insignificant behind-the-scenes issues such as converting Galactica into a museum. Of all the models thus far, the Number Five models are among the most militant, fanatic, and consistent in message and objectives to the Cylon objectives, whether he is dispassionately discussing the fate of humanity with his comrades or attempting to kill or maim Colonials in a suicide bomb attack TRS : " Litmus ".

Viewers first meet a Number Five during a tour of Galactica with other Colonial citizens possibly the press at the start of the Miniseries, but are not sure of the Cylon's true identity until the Miniseries' conclusion.

Copies of this model have appeared under the alias " Aaron Doral ". This is the first humanoid Cylon model shown to viewers at the start of the Miniseries. Stunningly beautiful, promiscuous and sensual, this model utilizes the human need and desire for sexual relations to her advantage.

She tends to be very religious and monotheistic. Number Six desires to know what it is to be alive. Sixes have been described as "usually so hardcore", referring to their tendencies towards violence. Sixes are the only model who appear not to have one particular "human name"; copies have appeared under the aliases " Shelly Godfrey ", " Gina Inviere ", " Natalie Faust ", "Lida", "Sonja", and " Caprica " in honor of her work on Caprica towards the destruction of the Colonies.

She seems not to have been known by any name by Gaius Baltar , even as the two formed a love to last eternity before the fall on Caprica. Six is also the only model known to exhibit significant variations in appearance -- several different hairstyles and hair colors have been noted -- as well as noticable differences in personality, ranging from idealistic Caprica to assertive and take-charge Natalie to wide-eyed and innocent Lida.

Shortly after the attacks, Baltar began experiencing interactions from an entity informally dubbed Messenger Six that resembles the version of Caprica-Six that seduced him prior to the attacks. It is unclear what relation if any that Messengerl Six -- that only Gaius Baltar can see and hear -- has to the physical Sixes. Caprica-Six, meanwhile also began to experience interactions with a Virtual Baltar after the attacks. The Daniel model was artistic and sensitive, and had a close relationship with Ellen Tigh , which led to murderous fraternal jealousy on the part of the Cavil model.

Nothing is known about this model's appearance. Number Eight is generally a saboteur assigned to infiltrate Colonial military units and is likely programmed to use any Colonial munitions to cause havoc TRS : " Water ". The Number Eight model is the closest witnessed humanoid Cylon model to show its abilities as a soldier. She is known for being internally conflicted, as seen in the identity crisis of the sleeper agent known as "Boomer". TRS : " Water ".

Eventually, she is able to gain the trust of the humans, particularly William Adama , and becomes a Raptor pilot in the Colonial Fleet under the name Sharon "Athena" Agathon.

The original sleeper agent copy of this model appeared under the name " Sharon "Boomer" Valerii. The Number Eights are part of the rebel faction in the Cylon Civil War, with the exception of Boomer who is Cavil's consort and Athena who is part of the human fleet, and thus merely allied with the rebels.

The identities of the missing five Cylon models remain a mystery long after the revelation of the identities of the "Significant Seven". Gaius Baltar , who knows there are twelve extant Cylon models yet has only observed seven aboard the Cylon baseship, coins the term "Final Five" for the five that are missing.

Caprica-Six informs him that the seven do not discuss or know the identities of the five TRS : " Torn ". They were previously unaware of their nature, because they were boxed by the Number One model and introduced to the Twelve Colonies one at a time with fabricated memories and histories TRS : " No Exit ".

They keep the knowledge that they are Cylons to themselves until a standoff between Galactica and the rebel baseship forces them into the open.

The fact that Lucy Lawless, Xena, the warrior princess herself, plays the Three models means that her character tends to stick out in the minds of fans more than many other models of Cylon. The Number Twos, who most often make their appearance on the series in the form of Leoben, are both unsettling and intriguing.

Leoben's bizarre obsession with Starbuck was uncomfortable to watch, however it also kept him close to the main storyline. And in addition to that, his intense belief in his god as well as his knack for speaking in riddles definitely made him a memorable edition of Cylon.

The thrill of discovering the Final Five throughout the course of Battlestar Galactica was arguably the most intense mystery that fans were desperate to know the answers to. And while none of the Final Five characters were disappointing by any means, it seems fair to say that Tory Foster wasn't a major suspect, nor did she play much of a role in the grander story. Yes, she killed Callie, but that was really her biggest moment on the series.

Before the Final Five Cylons had been revealed on Battlestar Galactica , Starbuck was a heavy potential favorite for a Cylon who didn't know that she was a Cylon. Due to their base consciousnesses being copies, along with the ability to download experiences from others, each Model tended to share traits across their line.

The "Number Ones" each identified under the name "Cavil" and tended to be Priests. The "Number Twos" identified as the name Leoben and believed deeply in the Cycle of Time and seeing it as a flowing stream. The "Number Threes" identified as D'Anna.

The "Number Fours" were known as "Simon" and tended to be medics, physicians and surgeons. The Number Sixes had a more varied personality, taking up a variety of names and occupations though remaining deeply sexual beings, using it for manipulation.

The Number Eights called themselves "Sharon", and were stereotyped as defective due to being weak to emotional manipulation. Due to the typical sharing of names, many of these models could be referred to by their names rather than numbers. Battlestar Galactica Wiki Explore. Night 1 Night 2.

The Five then placed the technology and new bodies for them on a ship they placed in orbit around Earth. When they were all killed in the nuclear holocaust unleashed by Earth's mistreated mechanical Cylons , they were reborn in their new bodies on the ship in orbit. Realizing that the other Twelve Tribes would continue to create artificial life, they headed for the Colonies to tell the humans to treat their creations well and keep them close.

Because their people hadn't developed jump drives , the Five's ship traveled at relativistic, but subluminal speed. Time slowed down for them, but thousands of years had passed. According to Ellen, they stopped at the Temple of Hopes on their way to the Colonies, a temple that was created by their ancestors, who prayed there and got a sign that led them to Earth. By the time they got to the Colonies, the humans were already at war with the Centurions.

The Centurions were already trying to make flesh bodies. They had created the Hybrids , but nothing that lived on its own, so the Five made a deal with them: they stop the war and the Five will help them create humanoid Cylons. The Centurions agreed and signed the Cimtar Peace Accord with humanity. The Five and the Centurions then withdrew to a mobile space station called The Colony placed beyond the Armistice Line.

The Five developed the eight humanoid models and gave them resurrection technology. They created Number One first and named him John. He was named after Ellen's father and also made in his image. Number One later changed his name to Cavil as he hated the name John. Cavil helped the Five build the other seven humanoid models. Ellen was close to Number Seven Daniel and Cavil, out of jealousy, contaminated the amniotic fluid in which the Daniel copies were maturing and then corrupted the genetic formula.

This wiped out the copies permanently, and as Anders said of Daniel: "he died", indicating that the original Daniel was lost as well TRS : " No Exit ". Cavil rejected mercy. He had a twisted idea of morality and despised the Five for contaminating their creations with human weaknesses and Centurion religious ideals, so he turned on them. He trapped them in a compartment and then he took the oxygen offline.

Cavil boxed the Five at first but ultimately unboxed them and downloaded them into new bodies, blocking their true memories and implanting false ones, then introducing them one by one into the colonies.

He introduced Saul first, not long after the war. And then Ellen. Cavil put the Five into the human population in order to truly show them what humans are like. He hoped that when they died and resurrected which restores their real memories they'd be ready to admit they were wrong. The truth behind the music that triggered their knowledge of their true selves has yet to be revealed. Cavil erased all knowledge of their identities from his siblings and his was the only Cylon model that knew their identities afterwards, but he kept at least one new body for each of them to download into.

When Ellen was killed by Saul, she downloaded into a new body on a Resurrection Ship. With the destruction of the Hub , the Five are the only ones who know how to rebuild resurrection technology, but Ellen claims it would take all five working together to rebuild it and even then she's not sure they could do it TRS : " No Exit ".

When the attack on the Twelve Colonies happened, the Cavils prepared a new body for each of them aboard a Resurrection Ship sure that they couldn't survive what was coming and sure that they would download, regain their true memories and apologize for their views on the humans.

When the attacks came, the Five managed to survive without dying and downloading to new bodies: Tyrol and Saul Tigh were aboard Galactica , Anders was in the mountains on Caprica doing some high-altitude survival training, there was a Simon there, but he was unaware of Anders's true nature, Tory was driving down a road in Delphi and was hit by a nuclear shockwave, but survived as her car protected her enough although she was injured and Ellen was in a bar on Picon with Cavil when it was hit by a nuclear shockwave.

The bar was destroyed and Ellen severly injured, however she survived and Cavil kept her that way as he felt she hadn't learned her lesson and still needed to.
