Silent One
From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide
An appropriate nickname of a prisoner that was found drifting in space in, apparently, a space craft that met with disaster. The "Silent One", apparently a male by the sound of things, drew objects (in particular a map of a solar system) that confounded the intoxicated prisoners on penal planetoid Proteus. When Starbuck comments on Boxey's drawing, saying that a planet was off an orbit, Robber remarks about the Silent One and his drawings in the cell that Starbuck -- a.k.a. Bootlegger 137 -- was thrown in for the duration of his stay (The Long Patrol).
Notes
- This is yet another clue that Earth might be more than a fable of "half-drunken star voyagers", as Baltar spitefully commented (Lost Planet of the Gods).
