'''McKintosh''' is a gambler whom | '''McKintosh''' is a gambler whom [[Starbuck (TOS alternate)|Starbuck]] encounters following the death of Captain [[Wyler]] in [[7335]]. | ||
During a [[pyramid (TOS)|pyramid]] game, McKintosh learns about Starbuck's past relating to [[Umbra]], and argues with Starbuck about the official story relating to the [[defense net]]. McKintosh claims to have been there the night of the attack as he ferried agro cargo from the factory at Umbra, and thus was able to obtain data that confirmed that the net was deactivated to allow the Cylons to attack. | During a [[pyramid (TOS)|pyramid]] game, McKintosh learns about Starbuck's past relating to [[Umbra]], and argues with Starbuck about the official story relating to the [[defense net]].

Claiming that no one believed him, McKintosh wagers a data chip worn around his neck to Starbuck as a taunt, believing the newly minted Warrior didn't have a winning hand. Starbuck's full pyramid secured McKintosh's data chip with the alleged data, only for Starbuck to later discover that the chip was unreadable (''[[Battlestar Galactica: Starbuck 1]]''). | Claiming that no one believed him, McKintosh wagers a data chip worn around his neck to Starbuck as a taunt, believing the newly minted Warrior didn't have a winning hand.

It isn't until | It isn't until yahrens later in [[7346]] that, following the loss of [[Starbuck's foster parents]] in a Cylon sneak attack on [[Scorpia]], McKintosh's data becomes a point of interest. A series of events unfolds following [[Boomer (TOS alternate)|Boomer]]'s decryption of McKintosh's Umbra data (at Starbuck's renewed behest), which leads to McKintosh's death by Cylon hands aboard his own vessel. | ||
Before his death, McKintosh records a holographic message relaying his story and key revelations that were not told before: he worked for [[Osiris (TOS)|Osiris]] and that he had an extra copy of the recording that not only captured the data on the attack in [[7322]], but also recorded the use of Osiris's own codes that were used to lower the defense net. Apollo recovers the disk hidden by McKintosh and transmits it to ''[[Galactica (TOS alternate)|Galactica]]'' (''[[Battlestar Galactica: Starbuck 3]]''). | Before his death, McKintosh records a holographic message relaying his story and key revelations that were not told before: he worked for [[Osiris (TOS)|Osiris]] and that he had an extra copy of the recording that not only captured the data on the attack in [[7322]], but also recorded the use of Osiris's own codes that were used to lower the defense net.

Per McKintosh's wishes, Starbuck avenges him by presenting this new data to the [[Quorum of Twelve (TOS)|Quorum of Twelve]] and subsequently killing Osiris while defending President [[Adar (TOS alternate)|Adar]]'s life (''[[Battlestar Galactica: Starbuck 4]]''). | Per McKintosh's wishes, Starbuck avenges him by presenting this new data to the [[Quorum of Twelve (TOS)|Quorum of Twelve]] and subsequently killing Osiris while defending President [[Adar (TOS alternate)|Adar]]'s life (''[[Battlestar Galactica: Starbuck 4]]''). | ||
