== Biography ==
Before the Great Exodus, during the ongoing war with the Cylons, Captain Jor would often spend his time in the ''Rhea'''s main arboretum, searching the heavens.<ref>''Galactica: The New Millennium'' #1, p. 12</ref>


During a fierce battle within [[The Fleet (TOS-RP)|the Fleet]], Kel is found by his father hiding in the ship's arboretum, frightened by the ongoing war with the Cylons and pessimistic about the Fleet's chances of finding [[Earth (TOS-RP)|Earth]].<ref>''Galactica: The New Millennium'' #1, p. 17</ref>  
He finds his young son, [[Kel]], hiding in the arboretum, frightened by the ongoing battle outside and despairing that the Fleet will be destroyed before they can find [[Earth (TOS-RP)|Earth]]. Jor comforts his son, reassuring him that they will find Earth as Commander [[Adama (TOS-RP)|Adama]] promised and that they will not die.<ref>''Galactica: The New Millennium'' #1, p. 14</ref>


Jor comforts his son, prophesying that Kel's courage, strength, and wisdom will lead the human race to victory and guide them to their promised land. Inspired by his father's words, Kel dreams of being the one to point the way to Earth, standing over the corpse of the [[Imperious Leader (TOS-RP)|Imperious Leader]], and celebrating their victory with Warriors [[Jolly (TOS-RP)|Jolly]], [[Apollo (TOS-RP)|Apollo]], [[Boomer (TOS-RP)|Boomer]], and [[Starbuck (TOS-RP)|Starbuck]].
To inspire hope in his son, Jor gives an impassioned speech, prophesying that Kel is destined to become a great hero. He tells Kel that through his courage, strength, and wisdom, the human race will defeat its enemies and be guided to its promised land. Jor calls Kel the "rag-tag fleet's favorite son" and a "miracle" who will prove to everyone that miracles do come true ({{Comics|Favorite Son}}).<ref>''Galactica: The New Millennium'' #1, pp. 16, 18</ref>
