'''Meier''' is one of [[Tom Zarek]]'s right-hand men in Zarek's quest for political power in the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]].
He warned Zarek of an unknown spacecraft approaching the [[Astral Queen]] and suggested engaging it. [[Laura Roslin]] delayed the attack until [[Starbuck]] identified herself as piloting the craft.


Meier warns Zarek of an unknown spacecraft approaching the ''[[Astral Queen]]'' while they and other ships of [[Laura Roslin faction|Roslin's faction]] orbit Kobol in search of the whereabouts of [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]]. Meier suggests engaging it using the ''[[Adriatic]]''{{'|s}} weapons, one of the few civilian ships of the fleet that had defensive ability. [[Laura Roslin]] delays the attack until {{callsign|Starbuck}} identifies herself as piloting the craft.
Later, he and Zarek decided that the only way for Zarek to gain access to Roslin's inner circle was for [[Lee Adama]] to die. ([[Home, Part I]])


Later, Meier and Zarek decides that the only way for Zarek to gain access to Roslin's inner circle (and later, with Roslin's death from illness, to rise to power) was for her most influential advisor, {{callsign|Lee Adama}}, to die. As it was said in the [[Sacred Scrolls]] that humans returning to Kobol face a deadly risk, Meier decides that this would be the perfect cover for Adama's death {{TRS|Home, Part I}}.
On [[Kobol]], Zarek warned Meier to be cautious. Meier ignored him and attempted to convince [[Sharon Valerii#Caprica Valerii|Caprica-Sharon]] to assassinate Lee for them. When [[William Adama|Commander Adama]] arrived with his search party, Boomer told Meier that when they reached the [[Tomb of Athena]], she would "take the father" while he "[took] the son".  


On {{RDM|Kobol}}, Zarek warns Meier to be cautious and await the best opportunity. However, such an opportunity passes after Commander [[William Adama|Adama]]'s party arrived; Zarek tells Meier to cancel the operation.
Boomer drew a pistol, given to her by Meier, on Adama, prompting Lee to point his pistol at her and Meier to point his weapon at Lee. Boomer double-crossed Meier by turning and shooting him instead, then turning the pistol over to Adama.


Meier ignores Zarek's order, continuing his plan by recruiting the future {{callsign|Athena}} ''neé'' Valerii to assassinate Lee for them, leaving Zarek's hands effectively clean. Meier plays on Valerii's emotional state by telling her of [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]]'s murder by [[Cally Henderson|Cally]], and "warns" her of the same fate from the Adamas. Valerii tells Meier that when they reached the [[Tomb of Athena]], she would "take the father" while he "[took] the son".
Zarek comforted his friend until he died from the gunshot wound a few minutes later. ([[Home, Part II]])


At the Tomb's entrance, Valerii draws a [[Stallion]] pistol on Adama, prompting Lee to point his pistol at her and Meier to point his weapon at Lee. Valerri double-crosses Meier by turning and shooting him instead, then turning the pistol over to Adama, indicating that the pistol was given to her by Meier. A second, identical pistol falls from Meier's hand as he falls to the ground.
