A nonbeliever himself, Sinclair's parents are staunch [[Monotheist Church|monotheists]], hiring men to render their son unconscious and transport him to [[Gemenon]]. On Gemenon, Sinclair meets [[Lacy Rand]] and the two travel aboard a [[jump ship]] to the monotheist retreat where the STO trains its members. A group of [[Apolli]] polytheist rebels boards the jump ship while en route and holds the recruits hostage, giving them the option to renounce their "[[God (RDM)|One True God]]" or face execution. Sinclair and Rand plan to take action, but when the situation comes to a head, it is Rand who acts, attacking the lead hijacker, [[Kevin Reikle]], and forcing STO leader [[Diego]] to step in and reveal the situation to be a test.
'''Odin Sinclair''' was a young recruit of the [[Soldiers of the One]] terror group.  


At the monotheist retreat, Sinclair and Rand are welcomed by Reikle and Diego at a reception and dinner for the new recruits. However, Sinclair and Rand are shocked to see the recruits who fail the test put to death by a single [[U-87 Cyber Combat Unit|U-87]]―a sign to Sinclair of exactly what the STO is capable of {{CAP|Blowback}}.
A nonbeliever himself, Sinclair's parents were staunch [[Monotheist Church|monotheist]]s, hiring men to knock their son unconscious and transport him to [[Gemenon]].  On Gemenon, Sinclair met [[Lacy Rand]] and the two traveled aboard a [[jump ship]] to the Monotheist retreat where the STO trained its members. Enroute to the retreat, however, a group of polytheist rebels boarded the jump ship and held the recruits hostage, giving them the option of renouncing "[[God (RDM)|The One True God]]" or facing execution. Sinclair and Rand planned to take action, but when the situation came to a head, it was Lacy Rand who acted, attacking the lead hijacker, [[Kevin Reikle]], and forcing STO leader [[Diego]] to step in and reveal the situation to be a test  ([[CAP]]: "[[Blowback]]").


As an unwilling participant in the STO training, Sinclair is unafraid of the consequences of possessing contraband such as [[Coto|illicit drugs]] and a [[holoband]] in the dormitory. He uses the band in his spare time to have simulated sex with an [[avatar]] of Rand, unbeknownst to the real-world counterpart {{CAP|The Heavens Will Rise}}. During a training session, he witnesses Rand exert control over one of the STO's [[U-87 Cyber Combat Unit|U-87 soldier robots]]. Sinclair is just as surprised by this as everyone else and tries to question Rand about her ability. Rand begins kissing Sinclair in order to avoid questions, namely regarding [[Zoe Graystone]], that she is unwilling or unable to answer, and Sinclair relents {{CAP|The Heavens Will Rise}}.
At the Monotheist retreat, Sinclair and Rand were welcomed by Reikle and Diego in a reception and dinner for the new recruits. However, Sinclair and Rand were shocked to see the recruits that had "failed" the test put to death by firing squad - a sign to Sinclair of exactly what the STO was capable of ([[CAP]]: "[[Blowback]]").


Sinclair later approaches Reikle and Diego, telling the STO trainers that he does not want to be involved in whatever conflict arises from Rand's influence over the U-87s. Intrigued by Sinclair's position, Reikle and Diego enlist Sinclair to kill Rand. When the time comes to execute her, Sinclair turns his gun on Reikle and Diego and attempts to shoot them, but the gun is not loaded. Reikle and Diego threaten him at gunpoint but are caught off guard when several other recruits appear and kill the two men. Sinclair and the other rebellious recruits prepare to escape Gemenon but stay when Rand offers another idea — activating the squad of U-87s and commanding them to follow her {{CAP|Here Be Dragons}}. Rand subsequently stages a coup over the leadership of the monotheist church and assumes the position of [[Mother|Blessed Mother of the monotheist church]], with Sinclair serving as her lieutenant {{CAP|Apotheosis (episode)}}.

== Notes ==
Witnessing Rand exert unexplained control over the STO's [[Black market (organization)|black market]] [[U-87 Cyber Combat Unit|U-87 soldier robot]]s, Sinclair attempted to question Lacy about her ability.  As a way of avoiding further questioning, Rand began kissing Sinclair, successfully distracting him ([[CAP]]: "[[The Heavens Will Rise]]").
* According to the podcast commentary, actor [[Ryan Kennedy]] and [[Magda Apanowicz]] watched the re-imagined ''[[Battlestar Galactica (TRS)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' together on set during the production of ''Caprica''.<ref>[[Podcast:Blowback|Podcast for "Blowback"]], timestamp 15:56</ref>
* The writers intended for Odin's relationship with [[Lacy Rand]] to be a more "grown-up" and "dangerous" one, contrasting with what Apanowicz described as Lacy's "schoolyard crush" on [[Keon Gatwick]].<ref>[[Podcast:Blowback|Podcast for "Blowback"]], timestamp 03:42</ref>

Later, Sinclair approached Kevin Riekle and Diego, telling the STO trainers that he did not want to be involved in whatever conflict arose from Lacy Rand's influence of the U-87s.  Intrigued by Sinclair's position, Reikle and Diego enlisted Sinclair to kill Rand.  When the time came to execute Lacy, Sinclair turned his gun on Reikle and Diego and attempted to shoot them, but the gun wasn't loaded.  Reikle and Diego, unsurprised by Sinclair's turn, threatened him at gunpoint, but were caught off guard when several other recruits appeared and fired rifles, killing the two men.  Grabbing the key to the jump ship from Diego's body, the group of recruits prepared to leave Gemenon, however, Lacy Rand had another idea - activating the squad of U-87s and commanding them to follow her ([[CAP]]: "[[Here Be Dragons]]). Rand subsequently staged a coup over the leadership of the monotheist church and took on the position of "Mother," with Sinclair serving as her lieutenant.
