This page lists all characters in the Re-imagined Series' who are people of the Twelve Colonies first seen outside of the Fleet that remain unnamed.

Caprica Doctor

Among a larger group of refugees finding Karl Agathon's and Sharon Valerii's Raptor somewhere in the countryside near Caprica City, are a man who tries to bribe his way aboard, a forgetful older woman who almost misses that she won a ticket to leave, and a desperate man who futilely clings to the ship's hull as it takes off and is shot by Agathon. 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").

The bribing man[2] is a man with a lot of money at his disposal who tries to escape the bombing of Caprica.

The "bribing man" is portrayed by actor Zahf Paroo.

An unnamed elderly lady with glasses[3] asks fellow refugee Gaius Baltar to help read her lottery number as she cannot find her glasses, not realizing that her glasses are resting safely on top of her head.

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. Agathon chooses to give his seat up for Baltar, believing his scientific mind would be more helpful to mankind's survival (TRS: "Miniseries, Night 1").

The "lady with glasses" is portrayed by actress Brenda McDonald.

Adama tries to free him and another woman, but fails to do so and is forced to abandon them when the structure starts falling apart due to ground quakes.

He is presumed dead after the Guardian basestar lifts off from the surface, since the structure began collapsing upon the basestar's launch from the planet ("Razor", "Razor Flashbacks").

The "Terrified Man" was portrayed by Ben Cotton, who later went on to play a completely different character, Coker Fasjovik, in Blood and Chrome.
