It is likely that the refugees who stay on Caprica (except Agathon, who carries anti-radiation medication), eventually succumb to radiation poisoning[1] (TRS: "Miniseries, Night 1").
Bribing man
The bribing man[2] is a man with a lot of money at his disposal who tries to escape the bombing of Caprica.

The woman has the final selected number, "47".[4] Baltar hesitates to answer the old woman, as if he was considering switching his number for hers, when Agathon calls for him to approach.
Fearing that Agathon knows something about his involvement in the Cylon attack, Baltar claims not to have done anything wrong, points out that the old woman has the lucky number, and escorts her to the front of the crowd and to the Raptor.

- The "lady with glasses" is portrayed by actress Brenda McDonald.
Desperate man
An extremely agitated and desperate man[5] questions Valerii's right to choose the last three people who can board the ship to escape the planet. Valerii solves the problem by initiating a lottery.
