| Despite being aided in his ascension to power by the [[Ha'la'tha]], he dislikes [[Tauron|Taurons]] and, upon obtaining the role of Minister of Defense, decides to use his power to commence an aggressive and direct investigation the activities of the Ha'la'tha. The [[Guatrau]] requests that [[Joseph Adama]] approach Chambers with the intent on dissuading him from pursuing the Ha'la'tha.

| == Notes ==
| |
| * According to the producers, the character of Val Chambers was inspired by former United States Secretary of Defense, [[w:Donald Rumsfeld|Donald Rumsfeld]].<ref>[[Podcast:Caprica pilot|Podcast for ''Caprica'' pilot]], timestamp 01:03:30</ref>
| |
| * Chambers' cut-corner trifocal glasses are likely a nod to ''[[w:Blade Runner|Blade Runner]]''{{'|s}} Tyrell, whose reliance on these glasses is seen as "[[w:Themes_in_Blade_Runner#Eyes|a reflection of his reliance on technology for his power and his myopic vision.]]" Like that character, Chambers is later murdered by those who assisted in his ascension to power.
