'''Moran''' is a man who [[Dillon]] and [[Troy (1980)|Troy]] are placed in a cell with after their arrest for "breaking" into Dr. [[Donald Mortinson]]'s office.

Moran asks the two [[Colonial Warrior|Warriors]] for a light, but instead of obliging they activate their [[wrist computron|invisibility screens]], which leads Moran to scream his pleas for being let out, for he believes they were going to make him disappear as well. His screams attract the attention of a police officer, who unwittingly permits the invisible Warriors to escape ([[Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I]]). 

== Novelization depiction ==

{{separate continuity|universe=1980|type=line}}

In the [[Galactica Discovers Earth (Book)|novelization]] by [[Michael Resnick]], this character is named  '''James William Cavin''', a.k.a. "Jimmy the Lush". He shares various tall tales with the two incarcerated Warriors, all of which are rebuked by Sergeant [[Michael Lalor]]. When Lalor leaves, and as the clearly delusional Cavin asks the Warriors for vino, the Warriors turn on their [[invisibility field]]s and escape once Lalor opens the cell door to investigate.<ref>{{cite_book|last=Resnick|first=Michael|authorlink=Michael Resnick|authorlinkurl=|year=1981|title=[[Battlestar Galactica 5: Galactica Discovers Earth]]|publisher=Berkley Books|location=|id=|pages=57-59}}</ref>
