			== Psychological Manipulation and Prisoner Torture ==

			A Number Five copy was involved in the psychological torture of [[Daniel Novacek]] during his three-year imprisonment aboard a Cylon [[Basestar (RDM)\|Basestar]]. The Five assumed the identity of a fellow prisoner, claiming to be a Colonial public relations executive captured during the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]]. For over a year, he maintained this deception, gaining Novacek's trust and becoming his primary source of emotional support during his captivity.<ref group="script" name="eick_hero_script_doral_novacek_psychological_torture_deception">{{cite script\|writer=David Eick\|title=Hero\|series=Battlestar Galactica\|season_number=3\|episode_number=7\|production_code=307-03007\|script_date=October 25, 2006\|version=Full Collated\|page=PDF page 17, script page 11-12}}</ref>

			The psychological manipulation culminated when the Cylons brought this Doral copy into Novacek's cell and handed the prisoner a gun, ordering him to kill "Doral" or face execution himself. When Novacek pulled the trigger six times, discovering the weapon contained only empty chambers, an identical Doral copy entered the cell, revealing the deception. The original Doral thanked Novacek, saying "Thanks, Danny," before the psychological impact of the revelation fully registered with the prisoner {{TRS\|Hero}}.

	But Doral is a [[humanoid Cylon]] in reality. The Doral model's purpose is to attempt to sow the seeds of discontent or confusion, particularly during crucial life-threatening situations. Doral models endeavor to undermine authority that threatens his objectives. Doral models are more covert than the dazzling [[Number Six\|Sixes]], assuming an ordinary "everyman" appearance blended in what may seem to be insignificant behind-the-scenes issues (such as converting ''Galactica'' into a museum).

Despite this, they are held in some contempt by [[Number One\|Cavil]] for "less than impressive" performance, and even relegated at times to menial tasks that they believe the [[Cylon Centurion\|Centurions]] should perform, such as mass burials of human casualties {{TRS\|The Plan}}.

	When Laura Roslin, as senior government official, takes charge of ''[[Colonial Heavy 798]]'' during the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies\|Cylon attack]], Doral immediately objects to her leadership immediately after her announcement to the passengers of the nuclear attacks on the various colonies ("Wait a minute...who put you in charge?"). Later, Doral tries to convince [[Lee Adama]] to assume the leadership role from Roslin. Captain Adama witnesses and supports Roslin and her leadership decisions, which quickly puts Doral in his place.

In this, he is partially steered by [[Number Six]]―although the selection of Doral as his fall-guy appears to be Baltar's own choice by educated guess.
