=== Character Conception and Portrayal ===
* The whereabouts of Sire Uri after "[[Saga of a Star World]]" remain unaccounted for in the ''Battlestar'' [[canon]]. It is likely that Uri either never made it back to the Fleet, or that he kept a decidedly low profile due to his actions, as these possibilities would account for his absence in future episodes that featured all 12 members of the Quorum.
According to ''[[So Say We All: The Complete, Uncensored, Unauthorized Oral History of Battlestar Galactica]]'', Sire Uri was portrayed by veteran actor [[w:Ray Milland|Ray Milland]] in the pilot episode, "[[Saga of a Star World]]".<ref>{{cite book/sswa|81}}</ref> The character is described as a "gluttonous and self-serving" politician who represents a significant political threat to Commander Adama's leadership.<ref>{{cite book/sswa|10}}</ref>
 
Uri's primary role in the narrative is to advocate for peace and disarmament with the Cylons, a position that directly conflicts with Adama's military caution. This power struggle is a central theme in the pilot, with Uri attempting to wrest control of the fleet from Adama to pursue his naive belief in a Cylon treaty.<ref>{{cite book/sswa|115}}</ref>
 
=== Re-imagined Series Perspective ===
Sire Uri has no direct counterpart in the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Re-imagined Series]]. However, the political friction he represents is echoed in the complex and often adversarial relationship between Admiral [[William Adama]] and President [[Laura Roslin]], who frequently clash over military versus civilian control of the fleet.
