Pythia confides in Tigh regarding her visions of the woman in red, which they keep to themselves. Additionally, she exhibits signs of clairvoyance (as was the case with the death of [[Kara Thrace]] between 2 to 3 [[ACH]]) and wrote down many of her prophecies during her time in the sanitarium. As tensions mount on Kobol, she is later publicly tried as a heretic and sentenced to immolation, thus fueling tensions between the atheistic [[Thirteenth Tribe (RDM alternate)|Thirteenth Tribe]] and the polytheistic Twelve Tribes. | Pythia confides in Tigh regarding her visions of the woman in red, which they keep to themselves.

During a fight ensured by Michael Tigh and Magnus Baltar, a [[Messengers|virtual being in the form of Pythia]] mysteriously arrives and breaks up the fight between the two. It is here that Pythia agrees to spare Magnus' life, on the condition that he'd return back to Kobol and brings the "word of Pythia" to the Twelve Tribes, where her words are posthumously published as a scripture text known as the: [[Book of Pythia]] by [[Aurora (RDM alternate)|Aurora]] . Baltar agrees and he takes Pythia's ship and book and returns back to Kobol to preach the "word of Pythia" amoungst the human survivors there.

According to [[Messengers|Head Six]], the woman they see before them isn't really Pythia, but instead one of her own kind, [[Aurora, Goddess of the Dawn|Aurora]].

Pythia also rewrote the survivors' genome to make biological procreation possible amoungst them. Upon arriving on Earth, it is revealed that both Michael and Pythia had one son: [[Saul Tigh]], who would later become a member of the legendary [[Final Five]], who was a little boy. | ||
Upon settling on Earth, Pythia marries [[Michael Tigh]] and the two raise their son Saul together. Shortly upon settling on Earth to Saul, Pythia fell ill and died, just while Saul was an infant. However, Michael had banned Resurrection, due to the tribe being able to procreate and having offspring, and thus, was unable to save her.
