'''Puppis''' is the only son of [[Vella]] on planet [[Equellus]].
'''Puppis''' is the son of [[Vella]] on planet [[Equellus]].


His father was a marooned Colonial [[Warrior]] called [[Martin]], killed by the [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylon]] "[[Red-Eye]]" when Puppis was barely a [[yahren]] old. He is raised by his widowed mother, Vella, with the help of Vella's brother, [[Bootes]].

Puppis is fond of [[numo]]s and is an [[oviner]] on his family's farm. His attitude reminds {{TOS|Apollo}} very much of {{TOS|Boxey}}.  
Puppis is fond of airguns ([[numo]]) and is a farm hand for his family's farm. His attitude reminds [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] very much of [[Boxey (TOS)|Boxey]]. Puppis takes his horse, [[Strider]], in pursuit of a [[lupus]]. Apollo is sent after the boy, discovering him as Puppis kills a lupus with a numo.  


== Father Figure in Apollo ==
Puppis is present when his uncle [[Bootes]] is shot by [[Red-Eye]] in a duel in the salon. In his anger he shoots with his Numo himself on Red-Eye. If Apollo hadn't intervened and smashed Puppi's Numo, Red-Eye would have shot Puppis too. Puppis runs out of the salon, angry and disappointed. When there is a duel between Apollo and Red-Eye later, he quickly changes his mind about Apollo. Back in his house, Puppis excitedly re-enacts the laser duel, much to the horror of his mother and Apollo. When Puppis expressed the wish to become a "hero" like Apollo, the latter explained to him that his actions were not heroic. The destruction of Red-Eye was something he had to do and was afraid of.
Shortly after Apollo's arrival, Puppis sneaks out of his room at night to chase the [[lupus]] who tore their sheep. Apollo rides after the boy and spots him shortly after Puppis kills the lupus with his numo. The two then ride back to the farm and talk about growing up.
After Apollo's return to the [[The Fleet (TOS)|fleet]], Puppis hopes to see Apollo again ... ([[The Lost Warrior]]).


Puppis is present when his uncle, [[Bootes]], is shot by Red-Eye in a duel at the saloon. In his anger, Puppis shoots Red-Eye with his numo; Apollo intervenes in Red-Eye's retaliation by smashing Puppis' numo, saving the angry boy's life in the process.
Later, after Apollo discovers Red-Eye's origins from [[Macy]], Apollo duels the menace and vanquishes it from the town, forcing [[Lacerta]] and his sycophants to flee. Following this showdown, Puppis revises his opinion of Apollo, excitedly re-enacting the laser duel much to the horror of both Vella and Apollo. When Puppis expressed the wish to become a "hero" like Apollo, the latter explained to him that his actions were not heroic: they were borne from necessity and the overcoming his own fears.
After Apollo's return to the {{TOS|The Fleet|Fleet}}, Puppis remains on Equellus with his mother, hoping to see Apollo again... {{OS|The Lost Warrior}}.
