Serge was the robot butler of Graystone Family at their Caprica home 58 years prior to the Fall of the Twelve Colonies. Much more primitive than his contemporary, the experimental Cyber Combat Unit (and the later Cylons), Serge was nevertheless capable of managing household tasks like granting and denying access to visitors, fetching food and drinks, and remote controlling home operations. His non-humanoid design (marked by a single, circular eye) was similar to other robots of the time including targeting drones for weapons accuracy and reaction time test for prototype U-87 combat robots (Caprica pilot).

Unlike the later Cybernetic Life-Form Nodes created by Graystone Industries, Serge does not possess full sentience, though he does have some intelligence. Amanda Graystone complains that Serge's demeanor is constantly altered to the point of becoming too helpful as Daniel Graystone experiments with his programming (CAP: Know Thy Enemy). Daniel has programmed Serge with Pyramid slogans (CAP: Rebirth).

Notes

  • Serge is voiced by Jim Thomson who served as assistant editor on the Caprica pilot.
  • It is not known if Serge-type robots are common on Caprica or if they are exclusively used by the Graystones, however, nonplussed reactions from visitors who interact with Serge indicates that they are not wholly unusual. Serge claims via his Twitter account, however, that he is unique and that the cost of mass-producing robots identical to himself would be prohibitively high.
