	Although Lucifer is able to negate the program's effects, Lucifer ends up acquiescing to it and saves Baltar from death on {{TOS\|Kobol}}. However, his exposure to Lieutenant [[Starbuck (TOS-BN)\|Starbuck]]—previously captured by a Cylon patrol before encountering Kobol—leads him to think favorably of certain humans. Starbuck introduces Lucifer to [[pyramid (TOS-BN)\|pyramid]] and beats him at the game. Lucifer is baffled by the concept of luck as Starbuck describes it.

	To infiltrate the [[Fleet (TOS-BN)\|Fleet]], Spectre arranges for Lucifer to be disguised as a [[Borellian Noman (TOS-BN)\|Borellian Noman]]. The disguise involves covering Lucifer with "thick matted hair" and altering his appearance to make him appear "fierce with bestiality."

	During his time with the theater company, Lucifer proves to be a remarkably gifted performer. His acting becomes so skilled that Dwybolt considers him "an incarnation of the [[Great Franda]]." Lucifer's swordplay becomes particularly impressive, leading some actors to fear crossing swords with him even in carefully choreographed battles.

However, Starbuck refuses and instead proposes that Lucifer "try our side" by working for the Colonials.
