Fisk is a typical orders-only XO who generally keeps to the status quo established by his commanding officer. Like his counterpart on ''Galactica'', [[Saul Tigh]], Fisk is fond of drinking, although he appears far less likely to drink on duty than Tigh has in the past. He has a jovial personality, often cracking jokes to ease tension. | Fisk is a typical orders-only XO who generally keeps to the status quo established by his commanding officer.

Fisk relates an incident aboard a civilian ship to Colonel Tigh in confidence over drinks | Fisk relates an incident aboard a civilian ship to Colonel Tigh in confidence over drinks ([[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]). He and [[Kendra Shaw]] lead a marine strike team onto the ship, the ''[[Scylla]]'', to carry out an order to strip the vessel of select resources and personnel. When Fisk reports that the civilians refuse to cooperate, Cain tells him to shoot the family of any selectee who refuses to comply. Faced with an advancing crowd that grows angry and unruly, and with Fisk and the marines showing signs of faltering, Shaw follows Cain's example and carries out their threat, raising her pistol and shooting a woman in the head, sparking weapons fire which leads to the deaths of nine more. This effectively ends any resistance from the passengers and crew, and cows them into heeding the boarding party's demands ([[Razor]]). | ||
After Commander [[William Adama]] and Admiral Cain come to the brink of an armed showdown between their respective battlestars over her summary convictions of [[Karl Agathon]] and [[Galen Tyrol]], Cain orders Fisk to lead a contingent of ''Pegasus'' marines aboard ''Galactica'', ostensibly to guard [[CIC#Galactica|CIC]] in the event of an enemy boarding during the [[Battle of the Resurrection Ship]]. His orders are to have the Marines ready to "terminate Adama's command", i.e. assasinate Adama and the [[Senior Staff of Galactica#CIC|CIC senior staff]], once the battle is over, on her command of "Execute [[Case Orange#note|case orange]]" ([[Resurrection Ship, Part I]]). After the battle, however, she decides not to give the order. A relieved Fisk lets out an unexpectedly loud belly laugh in response to Tigh's observation that he could use a drink, much to the confusion of everyone in the CIC ([[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]). | |||

Colonel Fisk breaks up a violent beating of | Colonel Fisk breaks up a violent beating of Helo and Tyrol in the brig, conducted by ''Pegasus'' Specialists [[Vireem]] and [[Gage]]. He dresses down the men, warning them that striking an officer on ''Pegasus'' has severe penalties, and sends them on their way. When thanked by Helo and Tyrol, Fisk summarily dismisses their thanks, adding that he owed Lieutenant [[Alastair Thorne]] his life, as did others on ''Pegasus''; he broke up the beating more for the sake of the uniform than anything else. When Helo explains that Thorne was attempting to rape [[Sharon Agathon|Sharon Valerii]], Fisk says, "You can't rape a machine, Lieutenant." | ||

Later, Fisk became involved in the Fleet's [[Black market (organization)|black market]], using his resources as commander to allow the shuttling of black market cargo through ''Pegasus'', including fresh [[Caprican Imperial]] cigars to Vice President [[Gaius Baltar]], for which he received unknown benefits from the black market boss, [[Phelan]].

Fisk is succeeded by former engineer [[Barry Garner]] as commander of ''Pegasus'' ([[The Captain's Hand]]). | ||
