The '''Guatrau''' is the title of the leader of the [[Ha'la'tha]] crime syndicate on [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]].   


== Caprican Guatrau ==
Fifty-eight years before the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], the Guatrau of the time lives and conducts business in [[Caprica City]], relying on enforcers like [[Sam Adama]].  Years earlier, the Guatrau paid for law school for Sam's brother, [[Joseph Adama]], who provides legal defense and other services for the Ha'la'tha. The Guatrau meets personally with Joseph to convince him to threaten then Minister of Defense [[Val Chambers]].  The Guatrau then promises Joseph that he is committed to finding the perpetrators of the [[Lev|MLMT]] bombing that had recently claimed Joseph's wife and daughter ([[CAP]]: "[[Caprica pilot|Pilot]]").
Around {{BCH|88}}, orphans Sam and [[Joseph Adama]] came across the Guatrau in his youth; Sam picked his pocket, and in doing so endeared themselves to him, effectively raising them as his own children {{CAP|The Dirteaters}}.  


As part of that, the Guatrau paid for law school for Sam's brother, [[Joseph Adama]], who provides legal defense and other services for the Ha'la'tha in [[Caprica City]] in {{BCH|58}}. The Guatrau meets personally with Joseph to convince him to threaten then Minister of Defense [[Val Chambers]]. When that fails, Sam is sent to assassinate Chambers. Despite Joseph's failure, the Guatrau then promises Joseph that he is committed to finding the perpetrators of the [[Lev|MLMT]] bombing that had recently claimed Joseph's [[Shannon Adama|wife]] and [[Tamara Adama|daughter]] {{CAP|Pilot (Caprica)}}.
Some months later, the Guatrau meets with [[Daniel Graystone]] at the wealthy industrialist's behest. With the aid of both Adama brothers, the Guatrau enters into a mutually beneficial alliance with Graystone, offering to help him regain control of his company, [[Graystone Industries]], in return for profit made from Graystone's newest venture — [[Virtual world|virtual]] [[avatar]]s of dead people {{CAP|Unvanquished}}.

Despite his dealings with Graystone, the Guatrau is personal friends with [[Tomas Vergis]] of the [[Vergis Corporation]] ([[CAP]]: "[[Caprica pilot|Pilot]]", "[[Know Thy Enemy]]"). However, once Vergis discovers that the Ha'la'tha were behind Graystone's reappointment as CEO of Graystone Industries, he believes that the Guatrau would eventually have him killed, prompting him to kill himself instead ([[CAP]]: "[[Things We Lock Away]]").

Through his daughter, [[Fidelia Fazekas]], the Guatrau later discovers that Joseph and Sam Adama are smuggling [[U-87 Cyber Combat Unit]]s to resistance fighters on [[Tauron]]. The pained Guatrau orders Fazekas to kill the Adama brothers — this results not in their deaths, but in the death of Joseph's only surviving child, [[Willie Adama]] ([[CAP]]: "[[The Heavens Will Rise]]", "[[Here Be Dragons]]"). The Adama brothers seek retribution for Willie's murder and, in order to avoid an all-out conflict with the Ha'la'tha, manage to convince Fazekas to launch a coup against the Guatrau. This coup results in the murder of the Guatrau during what was to be a meeting between the two parties, and Fazekas assuming the position of Guatrau herself ([[CAP]]: "[[Apotheosis (episode)|Apotheosis]]").
 
The Guatrau's sales of [[U-87 Cyber Combat Unit]]s's to the [[Soldiers of the One]] cause a rift between the Guatrau and Sam Adama, which Graystone exploits when he supports Sam's efforts to export U-87s to [[Tauron]] resistance fighters {{CAP|The Dirteaters}}.
 
Through his daughter, [[Fidelia Fazekas]], the Guatrau later unearths this, prompting the pained Guatrau to order Fazekas to kill the Adama brothers — this results not in their deaths, but in the death of Joseph's only surviving child, [[Willie Adama]] {{CAP|The Heavens Will Rise|Here Be Dragons}}. The Adama brothers seek retribution for Willie's murder and, in order to avoid an all-out conflict with the Ha'la'tha, manage to convince Fazekas to launch a coup against the Guatrau. This coup results in the murder of the Guatrau during what was to be a meeting between the two parties, and Fazekas assuming the position of Guatrau herself {{CAP|Apotheosis (episode)}}.
