In his early years, the Tauron national was educated Caprica and acclimated himself to Caprican life, although he maintained his allegiance to Tauron throughout the majority of his life {{CAP|Know Thy Enemy}}. | In his early years, the Tauron national was educated Caprica and acclimated himself to Caprican life, although he maintained his allegiance to Tauron throughout the majority of his life {{CAP|Know Thy Enemy}}. | ||

After [[Zoe Graystone|his daughter's]] death in a suicide bombing, Daniel, with the help of Tauron attorney [[Joseph Adama]] and his brother [[Sam Adama]], steal Vergis's technology, a [[meta-cognitive processor]] (MCP) in order to revive their daughters in robotic bodies, thus creating the first [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]].

Approximately a month and a half after the bombing, Vergis arrives on Caprica and personally confronts Daniel about the theft, informing him that two of his employees―close relatives and friends on Tauron―were murdered in the process. Soon afterward, he offers to buy the [[Caprica Buccaneers]] [[Pyramid (RDM)|pyramid]] team from Daniel, reminding him that his company is short on cash and that an infusion of liquidity from the team's sale would give them time to resolve problems with [[U-87]] development. The offer to buy the C-Bucs, however, is revealed to be the first step in a personal vendetta against Graystone for the theft and murders, to strip him of the things he loves and ultimately "tear up your dream." | Approximately a month and a half after the bombing, Vergis arrives on Caprica and personally confronts Daniel about the theft, informing him that two of his employees―close relatives and friends on Tauron―were murdered in the process.

* | *Although reported in various sites that Vergis would be played by [[Roger R. Cross]], he is absent in both the finished pilot and the accompanying deleted scenes. ''Spoiler TV'' published a casting call for Vergis indicating that the character was to be introduced in the episode "[[Know Thy Enemy]]," which later proved accurate.<ref>{{cite_web|url=http://www.spoilertv.com/2009/07/exclusive-caprica-episode-106-know-thy.html|title=Exclusive - Caprica - Episode 1.06 - Know Thy Enemy - Casting Call |date=July 28, 2009|accessdate=December 19, 2009|last=|first=|format=|language=English}}</ref> However, the casting of Roger Cross seem to have been legitimate as can be viewed on [http://www.rogercross.net/projects.htm Cross's official (albeit outdated) site]. There was even a still from the pilot featuring Vergis as portrayed by Cross displayed at Syfy's official ''Caprica'' gallery, but has since been removed.<ref>{{cite_web|url=http://community.livejournal.com/battlestar_blog/1890930.html|title=battlestar_blog: First picture of Luciana in Caprica|date=December 4, 2009|accessdate=December 19, 2009|last=|first=|format=|language=English}}</ref> <ref>{{cite_web|url=http://www.syfy.com/caprica/photos.php?sub=amanda_graystone|title=Amanda Graystone Photos |date=|accessdate=December 19, 2009|last=|first=|format=|language=English}}</ref> | ||
