Lucifer (TOS-DE alternate)

Battlestar Galactica Classic

Lucifer leads a Cylon task force in the "education" of the Kiernu following their inability to hinder the Fleet's entrance into the Empyrean Expanse (^{(Comics: Battlestar Galactica Classic #1)}).

Lucifer, at the order of the Imperious Leader, integrates Baltar's consciousness into a cybernetic construct built by himself and at least one other IL-series unit. In completing this task, he is able to fool Baltar into the belief that his execution was spared by the new post-Carillon Imperious Leader ^{(Comics: Battlestar Galactica Annual 2014)}. Believing that this was important, Lucifer perpetuates the ruse that Baltar is his superior, and fully human, during their pursuit of the rag-tag, fugitive fleet.

Lucifer, in a lone basestar, pursues the Fleet through a black hole and into a realm created by Iblis ^{(Comics: Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 3 #1)}. After being quickly attacked by an overwhelming force of Meclon Raiders, Lucifer orders an immediate retreat and seeks sanctuary within the very Fleet they once hunted ^{(Comics: Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 3 #2)}.

Re-united with Baltar, Lucifer assists the Fleet in defending against the Meclon forces ^{(Comics: Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 3 #4)} and, with the Seraphs help, brokers a true peace with the surviving humans following the incident ^{(Comics: Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 3 #5)}.

Following the Fleet's entry into the Empyrean Expanse, Lucifer leads the "education" of the Kiernu following their failure to impede the Fleet's travels ^{(Comics: Battlestar Galactica Classic #1)}. Prior to this, Baltar recruits the Okaati to assist in capturing the Fleet, which has some degree of success were it not for Baltar's betrayal at Gehenna Prime over mere tylium, despite Lucifer's advisement otherwise ^{(Comics: Battlestar Galactica Classic #4 — 5)}.

Caveat: It should be noted that the events depicted in various Dynamite Comic books are incongruent across its story ranges, resulting in contradictions that cannot be resolved.

Main article: Lucifer (1980)

Some 30 years after the events of "The Hand of God," Baltar returns to the Cylons and, with Lucifer, executes a plan whereby they silently pursue the Fleet until they locate Earth. This plan is successful ^{(Comics: Galactica 1980 #2)} and they begin their attack on Earth. In the final battle, Lucifer meets his end when his Cylon basestar is destroyed. ^{(Comics: Galactica 1980 #3 — 4)}.
