One copy of this model, calling himself "Simon," cares for | One copy of this model, calling himself "Simon," cares for [[Kara Thrace]] as a medical doctor after she is shot in a Cylon ambush. Simon tries to casually persuade Thrace into bearing children but is unsuccessful. When his diplomatic efforts fail, he surgically explores her ovaries without Thrace's permission, either partially removing an ovary or its eggs. On orders from a copy of [[Number Six]], Four arranges a time to surgically remove Thrace's ovaries. Before Simon can sedate her again and remove her ovaries, Thrace's suspicion that he is a Cylon is confirmed. In conversation he uses her call sign, which she never mentioned in his presence. Thrace kills him and escapes from the [[farm]]. Moments later, another copy intercepts Thrace just as she exits the building reaches the outside of the compound. Before he can speak further, members of the Resistance immediately kill him as they storm the farm to liberate Thrace {{TRS|The Farm}}. | ||

One copy infiltrates the human [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]] as a married man and has a step-daughter. He is very reluctant to harm the humans as he is now sympathetic to them. He truly loves his family and has trouble carrying out Cavil's orders to blow up the ship he lives on. He freaks out his wife [[Giana O'Neill]] who temporarily leaves him and he then agrees to carry out Cavil's order if his family is spared, but Cavil refuses. After one final sexual encounter with his wife, he kills himself by airlocking himself after leaving a suicide note, not wanting to betray his family. He does this while outside of resurrection range and his death is thus final. | One copy infiltrates the human [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]] as a married man and has a step-daughter.

[[Galen Tyrol]] comforts her by correctly pointing out that Simon killed himself rather than doing anything against the Fleet {{TRS|The Plan}}. | ||

Yet another copy is the doctor of the [[Caprica Buccaneers]]. He is well aware of his identity as a Cylon, but he is unaware of [[Final Five|the true nature of Samuel Anders]] and thus is puzzled by Cavil's interest in Anders. He does his part to undermine the resistance by giving too much [[morpha]] out and contaminating [[Anti-radiation medication|anti-radiation meds]], but is unable to do anything against the Resistance without compromising his cover as their doctor.

He does his part to undermine the resistance by giving too much [[morpha]] out and contaminating [[Anti-radiation medication|anti-radiation meds]], but is unable to do anything against the Resistance without compromising his cover as their doctor. When [[Kara Thrace]] and [[Karl Agathon]] show up, he hides himself from them in fear that they will recognize him as a Cylon and apparently arranges to have Thrace sent to a farm. He gets frustrated with the Cavil copy that joins them as Cavil won't reveal their location to the Cylons, wanting to hear Anders' confession (in reality wanting to see if he learned his "lesson"). This copy of Simon is exposed when the resistance kill another copy during Kara Thrace's rescue and recognize him as identical to their Simon. Anders sends [[Jean Barolay]] back to kill him {{TRS|The Plan}}<ref>In a deleted scene, this copy contaminates the resistance group's anti-radiation medication before he is killed.</ref>. | ||
