Following the {{alt|Battle of Cimtar||destruction and exodus from the Colonies}}, Dr. Wilker constructs a prototype robotic [[daggit]] in a maintenance lab aboard ''{{alt|Rising Star|TOS}}'' in light of the fact that no biological daggits survived the assault. At {{alt|Apollo|TOS}}'s urging, {{alt|Boxey|TOS}} is given Wilker's first prototype daggit, named [[Muffey II]], which Wilker programs to respond to Boxey from data given by Apollo  ({{comics|marvel|2}}).

Wilker also maintains the [[memory inducer]], with [[Cassiopeia]] as his aide, while {{alt|Adama|TOS}} uses it to remember what he saw at {{alt|Kobol|TOS}} ({{comics|marvel|7}}).

Doctor '''Wilker''' is the residential electronics and engineering expert on ''{{TOS|Galactica}}''. 

His team is tasked with the maintenance and control of the [[temporal overdrive]], which Wilker has studied since its installation in [[7347]] (''[[War of Eden 1]]'', ''[[The Enemy Within 2]]'').

After a [[Cylons (TOS alternate)|Cylon]] attack paralyzed Wilker in [[7357]], Wilker became obsessed with androids and the ability to transfer a human consciousness into a human simulacrum. He successfully does so by [[7362]], with his memory and essence transferred in a cybernetic brain. Fortunately, his body and brain manage to survive after [[Ares (Cylon)|Ares]], a Cylon agent, overloads the temporal overdrive, attacking Wilker before doing so. The recording of this attack is retrieved by [[Salik (alternate)|Salik]], which reveals Ares's true nature (''[[The Enemy Within 3]]'').
