<p>24.91.194.120: /* Overview */</p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:bsg-elosha-1.jpg|thumb|Priestess Elosha (credit: Sci-Fi Channel)]]<br /> <br /> == Overview ==<br /> <br /> Position: Priestess, Colonial Fleet / Spiritual Advisor to [[Roslin, Laura|President Roslin]]<br /> <br /> Age: Early 50s at time of death.<br /> <br /> Martial Status: Unconfirmed, most likely celibate.<br /> <br /> Children: Unknown<br /> <br /> <br /> Played by: [http://us.imdb.com/M/person-exact?+Lorena+Gale Lorena Gale]<br /> <br /> <br /> A priestess who attends the decommissioning ceremonies for the [[Battlestar]] ''[[Galactica]]'', and later presides over services within the fleet. <br /> <br /> At the time of the [[Cylon Attack|Cylon attack]], she was travelling aboard ''[[Colonial Heavy 798]]'', returning to [[Caprica]] with others who had attended the ''Galactica'' ceremonies. When word came through that [[Adar|President Adar's]] entire cabinet has been wiped out with the exception of [[Roslin, Laura|Laura Roslin]], the Education Secretary, Elosha officiated at a swearing-in ceremony at which Roslin was made President of the Twelve Colonies.<br /> <br /> Following the Cylon attack, when the suriving fleet had apparently evaded the [[Cylons]], Elosha presided over a service aboard the ''[[Galactica]]'' in memory of the ship's dead ([[Mini-Series]]). At the time, with his crew suffering from shock and low morale, [[Adama, William|Commander Adama]] gave his people cause for hope: the legendary planet [[Earth]], enlisting Elosha's help to do so.<br /> <br /> Elosha further presided over the Service of the Dead following the lost of seven of the ''Galactica's'' pilots in freak accident on the hanger bay ([[Act of Contrition]]). <br /> <br /> While she did not reveal as much to others, Elosha was having a crisis of faith: while she was versed in the [[Sacred Scrolls|Scriptures]] and the history of the Twelve Tribes of man, she did not entirely believe in the turth of either ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]). <br /> <br /> Her faith underwent a renewal when she is called to ''[[Colonial One]]'' to speak with [[Roslin, Laura|President Roslin]]. Here she learned that Roslin was having visions, one of which could be linked directly to the writings of [[Pythia]] ([[The Hand of God]]). <br /> <br /> Because of her knowledge of anicent history, and of the scriptures, Elosha becomes Roslin's confidante and spiritual advisor, and is able to help discern the meanings of Roslin's visions ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]) - thus causing her own faith to undergo a renewal. <br /> <br /> She becomes the fourth person to know of Roslin's terminal cancer ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]]).<br /> <br /> Elosha accompanies Roslin on a Raptor piloted by [[Lee Adama]] as Roslin escapes from the ''Galactica's'' brig and follows her in their search for the whereabouts of Earth using the resources of Kobol ([[The Farm]]).<br /> <br /> Elosha was killed in &quot;[[Home]]&quot; by a landmine explosion and was buried on [[Kobol]].<br /> <br /> [[Category:A to Z]]<br /> [[Category:Characters]]<br /> [[Category:Colonial Religion]]<br /> [[Category:RDM]]</div>
