'''Bootes''' is a human resident of the planet [[Equellus]], later killed by [[Red-Eye]].

Bootes is a [[oviner]] who, like most other people on Equellus, is bullied and terrorized by [[Red-Eye]]. Red-Eye, a damaged [[Centurion (TOS)|Cylon Centurion]], regularly confiscates livestock as "tribute" to [[Lacerta]], his boss.  Bootes lives in the ranch next to his sister [[Vella]] and her son [[Puppis]].  His sister's late husband, [[Martin]], had been a [[Colonial Warrior]] who crashed on their planet and fallen in love with his sister years earlier.  Bootes learns about Colonial [[Warrior]]s from Martin on the eve of his wedding day, though Martin apparently neglects to tell Bootes about the [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylons]].  When Martin is killed by Red-Eye, Bootes becomes a father figure to young nephew Puppis.

When Bootes meets the marooned [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]], he immediately recognizes his uniform, rank, and laser; he earnestly encourages Apollo to eliminate Red-Eye, and is angered when Apollo refuses.  Later, when Red-Eye appropriates half of Bootes' herd, Bootes drives himself into a drunken stupor and rides into town in a rage.  He confronts Lacerta, which leads him to call upon Red-Eye, resulting in Bootes death.  Bootes is the last person killed by Red-Eye, before Red-Eye himself is eliminated by Apollo ([[TOS]]: "[[The Lost Warrior]]").
