			'''Karibdis''', also known by his code-name '''Proteus''', is Lord {{TOS\|Baltar}}'s pilot and top electronics expert during the [[Thousand-Yahren War]] the [[Cylons (TOS)\|Cylons]].

	~~Code-named Proteus, '''Karibdis''' was Lord {{TOS\|Baltar}}'s pilot and top electronics expert during the Colonial war with~~ the [[~~Cylons (TOS)\|Cylons~~]], ~~and apparently in on the plan to use the Cylons to have Baltar obtain power.

Left unchecked, the Cylons ~~decided to wipe~~ out everything, leaving Karibdis in a precarious situation~~. Of course, like [[Riftis]] (alias: [[Chella]]) and [[Elias]], he bartered his way to [[The Fleet (TOS)\|The Fleet]] that {{TOS\|Adama}} had instituted by bribing Flight Sergeant [[Ortega]]~~.		During the [[Battle of Cimtar]], he disabled the defensive equipment on [[The Twelve Colonies of Man\|Caprica]], thus allowing the Cylon holocaust to transpire with ease; he is responsible for the death of a million Capricans. Left unchecked, the Cylons wiped out everything, thus leaving Karibdis in a precarious situation.

	~~He assumed the name '~~''[[~~Pallon~~]]''' ~~and managed to hide himself within~~ the ~~bowels of the assemblage of refugees~~. ~~No one knew~~ of his existence, as he ~~apparently managed~~ to keep himself out of the public eye~~—which is probably the reason that Baltar kept him on in the first place—in the Fleet~~ as a waiter on ''[[Rising Star]]''. ~~However,~~ Ortega ~~made a~~ mistake of blackmailing ~~him~~, and as a result Karibdis kills him—pinning the blame on {{TOS\|Starbuck}}, using ~~Starbuck's sidearm~~ while the warrior is in the [[Triad (TOS)\|Triad]] prep locker's turbowash.		== Becoming Pallon ==
			After bribing Flight Sergeant [[Ortega]] for passage aboard ''[[Rising Star (TOS)\|Rising Star]]'' during Caprica's evacuation'','' he assumes the name {{Inlineref\|Pallon}}. Few know of his existence, as he manages to keep himself out of the public eye, and fewer knew of his survival as he becomes a waiter on ''Rising Star''. Ortega makes the mistake of continually blackmailing Karibdis, and as a result Karibdis kills him—pinning the blame on {{TOS\|Starbuck}}, using his [[laser pistol]] while the warrior was in the [[Triad (TOS)\|Triad]] prep locker's turbowash.

	~~Of course, being an unknown,~~ {{TOS\|Adama}} is unable to physically identify Karibdis—though the Commander is instrumental in pointing the way to Ortega's killer and allowing {{TOS\|Apollo}} to request Baltar's services. En route back to ''{{TOS\|Galactica}}'', after Baltar's transfer to the shuttle from the [[Prison Barge]], Karibdis (Pallon) reveals himself and, in stereotypical criminal style, divulges everything over an open comline that the Tribunal enters into evidence.		{{TOS\|Adama}} is unable to physically identify Karibdis—though the Commander is instrumental in pointing the way to Ortega's killer and allowing {{TOS\|Apollo}} to request Baltar's services.
