Editing Unnamed characters (TOS)

{{unnamed characters series}}

This page lists all original series ''Battlestar Galactica'' characters who were never named either on screen or by any of the show's creatives.

The scope of this article is limited to characters who have either an on-screen credit or had an important interaction with a major character. For instance, the woman on the ''[[Gemini (TOS)|Gemini]]'' telling [[Iblis]] of how having two [[tallon plant]]s would be a miracle enough would be notable, while the man falling off the roof during the Cylon attack on Caprica wouldn't.

== Council of the Twelve ==

=== Statesman No. 1 ===
[[File:TOS - WOTG2 - Statesman as played by Norman Stuart.jpg|thumb|The unnamed statesman present during [[Baltar (TOS)|Baltar]]'s arrest before the [[Council of Twelve]] {{OS|War of the Gods, Part II}}.]]
A '''statesman''' who survived the [[Battle of Cimtar|Destruction of the Twelve Colonies]] by the [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylons]], he went on to serve as part of the [[Quorum of Twelve (TOS)|Council of the Twelve]] alongside other colleagues including Sire [[Uri]] and Sire [[Anton]].

After the discovery of [[Carillon]] as a possible safe haven, he accompanied Uri to the [[chancery]] and was enjoying a meal and drink while his counterpart spoke of the possibly of settling on the planet within earshot of [[Apollo]] and [[Serina]]. The man was later at the Council session when [[Adama]] was informed of Uri's proposition of surrendering to the Cylons and destroy their arms. When the commander left the session in disgust, he spoke with Anton about placing this decision to the people of [[The Fleet (TOS)|the Fleet]]. The statesman would later be with the rest of the Council during the planned ceremony in the chancery when it was discovered by the Warriors of the Ovion/Cylon plans for humanity {{OS|Saga of a Star World}}.

Surviving the [[Battle of Carillon]], he was still a member of the council when the mysterious Count [[Iblis]] arrived and offered his leadership in exchange for their submission, after appearing to fulfill his promise to deliver {{TOS|Baltar}} {{OS|War of the Gods, Part I|War of the Gods, Part II}}.

: ''The statesman, identified by this title in the end credits, was portrayed by [[Norman Stuart]] in "Saga of a Star World" and "War of the Gods, Part I" and "Part II". In the novelization, the scene on Carillon with Uri identified him as Councillor Lobe of Piscera, though it is unclear if this was canon.''

=== Statesman No. 2 ===
[[File:TOS - WOTG1 - Statesman as played by John Williams.jpg|thumb|The unnamed statesman present during [[Baltar (TOS)|Baltar]]'s arrest before the [[Council of Twelve]] {{OS|War of the Gods, Part II}}.]]
A '''statesman''' who held the title of [[Sire]] had survived the [[Battle of Cimtar|Destruction of the Twelve Colonies]] by the [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylons]], he went on to serve as part of the [[Quorum of Twelve (TOS)|Council of the Twelve]].

When Count [[Iblis]] was discovered and brought back to the fleet, the Sire was initially skeptical of the mysterious being, as was Commander [[Adama]] and expressed surprise when the visitor was already aware of the Council's decisions despite only just being made. When [[Baltar]] surrendered to the Colonials, the statesman passed the judgement on the traitor to be imprisoned aboard the ''[[Prison Barge]]'' for a life sentence. He then lead the push for Count Iblis to be named to the Council Presidency, though agreed to adjourn the meeting at Adama's request for a time. Ultimately, Iblis' true identity was revealed and he left the fleet {{OS|War of the Gods, Part I|War of the Gods, Part II}}.

: ''The statesman was portrayed by [[John Williams]] in "War of the Gods" two-partner. In the novelization, his lines are attributed to an individual named Sire Montrose, though it is unclear if this was canon.''
