Statesman

The unnamed statesman present during Baltar's arrest before the Council of Twelve ^{(TOS: "War of the Gods, Part II")}.

A statesman who survived the Destruction of the Twelve Colonies by the Cylons, he went on to serve as part of the Council of the Twelve alongside other colleagues including Sire Uri and Sire Anton.

After the discovery of Carillon as a possible safe haven, he accompanied Uri to the chancery and was enjoying a meal and drink while his counterpart spoke of the possibly of settling on the planet within earshot of Apollo and Serina. The man was later at the Council session when Adama was informed of Uri's proposition of surrendering to the Cylons and destroy their arms. When the commander left the session in disgust, he spoke with Anton about placing this decision to the people of the Fleet. The statesman would later be with the rest of the Council during the planned ceremony in the chancery when it was discovered by the Warriors of the Ovion/Cylon plans for humanity ^{(TOS: "Saga of a Star World")}.

Surviving the Battle of Carillon, he was still a member of the council when the mysterious Count Iblis arrived and offered his leadership in exchange for their submission, after appearing to fulfill his promise to deliver Baltar ^{(TOS: "War of the Gods, Part I", "War of the Gods, Part II")}.

The statesman, identified by this title in the end credits, was portrayed by Norman Stuart in "Saga of a Star World" and "War of the Gods, Part I" and "Part II". In the novelization, the scene on Carillon with Uri identified him as Councillor Lobe of Piscera, though it is unclear if this was canon.
