Lacerta: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 04:46, 14 April 2005

Lacerta was a human resident of Equellus, a low-tech agrarian planet.

Lacerta's origins and vocation are unknown. He was fortunate to happen upon a crashed Cylon Raider containing a damaged Cylon Centurian who, upon "waking", saw Lacerta as its Imperious Leader. The Cylon, who would come to be known as Red-Eye, uttered the words "By your command", and followed Lacerta's orders from then on. Backed by the "muscle" of Red-Eye, Lacerta became a bullying strong arm man, collecting "tribute" from the local oviners (ranchers), with the threat of death by Red-Eye hanging over their heads. Lacerta liked to spend his time in the town saloon, drinking and playing cards; the towns people obeyed his every beck and call.

When Red-Eye confronted Apollo, who had crash landed on the planet, Lacerta told Red-Eye to back down, and suggested Apollo could work for him. Soon thereafter, Lacerta was confronted by an angry (and drunk) Bootes, a local rancher fed up with paying "tribute"; Lacerta had him killed by Red-Eye. After Red-Eye's destruction, however, at the hands of Apollo, Lacerta was last seen humbly beating a hasty retreat, presumably to escape the wrath of the newly-freed towns people. (The Lost Warrior)
