Specialist Socinus was a deckhand aboard Battlestar Galactica assigned to Chief Galen Tyrol. At the time of the Cylon Attack on the Colonies, he was attached to Deck Crew 5, and was responsible for Viper and Raptor maintenance. (Mini-Series)

After the events at the beginning of Litmus, Socinus was charged with "conspiracy and collusion with a cylon agent" and arrested by Master-At-Arms Sergeant Hadrian. In reality, Socinus had not conspired with a Cylon Agent, but had lied about leaving the hatch combing to causeway C aboard Galactica open to hide the relationship of Tyrol and Sharon Valerii. (During the time in question, the two were meeting for an intimate moment.) Valerii had entered through that hatch combing, leaving it open so a copy of Aaron Doral could gain access to explosives, which he then detonated prematurely in C Causeway (as opposed to his intended target, Baltar's Lab on the same level).

Commander Adama however had his doubts about Socinus' actions (being aware of Tyrol and Valerii's relationship). Tyrol eventually confessed to Adama that he was with Valerii at the time of the bombing, with the deck gang covering for him. This did not result in Socinus' release, as he did lie before the tribunal.

Socinus was released on parole for the scout mission to Kobol (Kobol's Last Gleaming, Pt. I) by request of Tyrol due to the extreme short-handedness of experienced crew. He subsequently became stranded on Kobol with the rest of the survivors of Raptor 1.

He sustained critical injuries including severe smoke inhalation during the crash. He was treated with serisone to prevent fluid from building up in his lungs. Despite the efforts of Tarn, Cally and Galen Tyrol, (Scattered) to acquire another medkit from the crashsite to help keep him alive, he was in the end euthanized by morpha overdose when they realized that he was too severely injured to realistically think they could save him from a slow and agonizing death (Valley of Darkness).
