In ''[[Surrender the Galactica!]]'', the '''Imperious Leader''' appears as a holographic representation to [[Spectre (TOS-BN)|Spectre]], described as having "physical immensity" with "many-eyed, knobby-skinned" features and skin displaying "every possible shade of gray." He tasks Spectre with capturing ''[[Galactica (TOS-BN)|Galactica]]'' and its fleet, demanding that Spectre "turn the ''Galactica'' into a floating derelict and bring [[Adama (TOS-BN)|its commander]] to your pedestal personally... in chains." The Leader expresses weariness with watching "the humans continue to slip out of our grasp" and desires to "parade them through the capital and humiliate them."<ref name="STG41-42">{{cite book|last=Larson|first=Glen A.|authorlink=Glen A.

The '''Imperious Leader''' is the supreme commander of the Cylon Empire.
He masterminds a plan to destroy ''[[Galactica (TOS-LM)|Galactica]]'' by implanting Captain [[Heffren (TOS-LM)|Heffren]] with a mind-controlling [[Impulse microvator (TOS-LM)|impulse microvator]]. The plan is ultimately foiled when the Colonials turn the device against his own assault ship ({{Comics|Look-In Magazine: Storyline 1}}).<ref>''Look-In'' #46 (1979) & #3 (1980), Storyline 1, Strips 4 & 13</ref>

The Leader orders the capture of the transport ''[[Orestes (TOS-LM)|Orestes]]'', intending to use its crew and child passengers as leverage to force the surrender of the Fleet. This plan is thwarted when [[Apollo (TOS-LM)|Apollo]] convinces the Cylons that the ship is contaminated with a plague, causing the Leader to panic and barricade himself in his quarters ({{Comics|Look-In Magazine: Storyline 3}}).<ref>''Look-In'' #32 (1980) & #39 (1980), Storyline 3, Strips 16 & 23</ref>
