Brother '''Cavil''' is a priest who provides counsel for [[Galen Tyrol|Chief Tyrol]] ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I]]) after Tyrol's maddened attack against [[Cally]]. Cavil identifies the source of Tyrol's anxiety as arising from the fear that he could be a [[Cylon agent|Cylon sleeper agent]].

A somewhat eccentric figure, Cavil is a surprisingly harsh critic of prayer for a priest, but claims to have been preaching "longer than you [Tyrol] have been sucking down oxygen."

It was revealed in Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II that Cavil is a Cylon, seemingly with the core purpose of delivering an important message to the fleet...

Cavil is portrayed by [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096684/ Quantum Leap's] [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001777/ Dean Stockwell].

'''Colonel Jack Fisk''' is the [[Executive officer|Executive Officer]] of the [[Mercury class battlestar|battlestar]] ''[[Pegasus]]'' when he and Admiral [[Helena Cain]] discover battlestar ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'' ([[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]).

Fisk is a typical orders-only XO who generally keeps to the status quo established by his commanding officer. Like his counterpart on ''Galactica'', [[Saul Tigh]], Fisk is fond of drinking, although he appears far less likely to drink on duty than Tigh has in the past.

In a drunken conversation with Colonel [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]], Fisk says that he entered his position as XO following Admiral [[Helena Cain]]'s execution of her previous XO for insubordination. Fisk later claimed that the tale of the shooting was just a joke, although Tigh's instincts told him otherwise when he relayed the story to Commander [[William Adama|Adama]].

After Commander Adama and Admiral Cain come to a near-shootout between their battlestars over Cain's quick conviction of ''Galactica'' officers [[Karl Agathon|Helo]] and [[Galen Tyrol]], Admiral Cain orders Fisk to take a contingent of ''Pegasus'' marines to guard the ''Galactica'' [[CIC]], but with orders to "terminate Adama's command" after the battle is over, once she calls him and says "Execute [[Case Orange#note|case orange]]" ([[Resurrection Ship, Part I]]).

Colonel Fisk breaks up a violent beating to prisoners [[Karl Agathon|Helo]] and [[Galen Tyrol]], conducted by ''Pegasus'' Specialists [[Vireem]] and [[Gage]]. He dresses down the men, warning them that striking an officer on ''Pegasus'' has severe penalties, and sends them on his way. When thanked by Helo and Tyrol, Fisk nastily dismisses their thanks, adding that he owed Lieutenant [[Alistair Thorne|Thorne]] his life, as did others on ''Pegasus''. When Helo explains that Thorne was attempting to rape [[Sharon Valerii]], Fisk echoes the same sentiment held by most in the Colonial fleet: "You can't rape a machine, Lieutenant."

Fisk later details to Tigh (again, over drinks) the fate of a civilian fleet that accompanied ''Pegasus'' for a time before Admiral Cain ordered their ships stripped of supplies, parts, and people, killing the families of any conscripts who refused to leave.

Fortunately, Cain does not give the kill order to Fisk for Commander Adama at the expected time, which leaves Fisk visibly relieved. Colonel Fisk later assumes command of ''Pegasus'' when Admiral Cain is killed by an escaped Cylon agent, [[Number Six#Gina|Gina]] ([[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]).

Fisk's previous position on ''Pegasus'' before becoming the XO is not known.

{{spoiltext|Like Cain before him, Fisk is also murdered. An officer named [[Barry Trammel]] is promoted to replace him. ("[[Black Market]]" and "[[The Captain's Hand]]", respectively).}}
