He tasks Spectre with capturing Galactica and its fleet, demanding that Spectre "turn the Galactica into a floating derelict and bring its commander to your pedestal personally... in chains." The Leader expresses weariness with watching "the humans continue to slip out of our grasp" and desires to "parade them through the capital and humiliate them."

The Imperious Leader is the supreme commander of the Cylon Empire.

He masterminds a plan to destroy Galactica by implanting Captain Heffren with a mind-controlling impulse microvator. The plan is ultimately foiled when the Colonials turn the device against his own assault ship ^{(Comics: Look-In Magazine: Storyline 1)}.

The Leader orders the capture of the transport Orestes, intending to use its crew and child passengers as leverage to force the surrender of the Fleet. This plan is thwarted when Apollo convinces the Cylons that the ship is contaminated with a plague, causing the Leader to panic and barricade himself in his quarters ^{(Comics: Look-In Magazine: Storyline 3)}.
