Overview

During the Cylon's 40 year exile from the Colonies, after the Cimtar Peace Accord, they developed (or evolved) into a humanoid form that very closely mimics Human form, down to the cellular level.

Humano-Cylons have the capacity to emulate many of the same acts that humans do, including sex acts, as demonstrated by Number 6 model. (Mini-Series) Typically she is the alpha female, as demonstrated on multiple occasions. (Mini-Series, 33, Water, Six Degrees of Separation) There is, apparently, a structure within Cylon society that has yet been unveiled.

Huamno-Cylons can also be programmed to believe that they are human.

Like other Cylons, this model utilizes a synthetic, silicon brain that is susceptible by certain classes of radiation. Models of Cylon can also transfer consciousnesses into another copy of itself, though this is limited by distance and other outside interferences. (Mini-Series)

Cylon "female" models may have the capacity to bear children seeded by Human males. (Flesh and Bone, Hand of God)

Known Humano-Cylon Models

There are four known Humano-Cylon models. At maximum, there are nine. (Mini-Series, You Can't Go Home Again)

Sharon "Boomer" Valerii

This model has shown naviete in many matters. She is apparently not as religious as other Cylon models, but has demonstrated that she can love, unlike the Number Six model. She may be "defective", as her two personalities (Cylon and Human-programmed), have clashed multiple times. (Water)

Ref: Valerii, Sharon

Number Six / Shelly Godfrey

This model utilizes the human need / desire for sexual relations to her advantage. She is religious, believing in a monotheistic deity. She desires to know what it is to be alive.

Ref: Number Six

Aaron Doral

This model attempts to sew the seeds of discontent and endeavors to undermine authority that threatens his objectives. (Mini-Series) Doral-model taclkes more of the behind-the-scenes issues, but at times takes it upon himself to execute certain tasks, such as becoming a suicide bomber. (Litmus)

Ref: Doral, Aaron

Leoben Conoy

This model has shown to be religiously oriented, spewing dogma and intermixing truth with falsehoods. It was first discovered on Ragnar Station, claiming to be a scavenger / arms dealer. (Mini-Series)

He 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 devestating fruition.
