'''Valance''' is a professional assassin with suspected ties to [[Tom Zarek]], active around {{ACH|1}}.


Valance was an [[assassination|assassin]] who might have had connections with [[Tom Zarek]].  All indications lead to his professionalism due to his expertise in sneaking a ceramic gun past the X-ray scanners. It is likely that his intended target was President [[Laura Roslin|Roslin]], seeing as all the events she was to attend were circled in Valance's briefcase (which itself was constructed with a compartment that concealed the gun and was impervious to X-rays).  
He carries a ceramic pistol capable of defeating X-ray scanners, concealed within a specially constructed briefcase lined with X-ray-impervious material. Among his effects is a personal calendar with all scheduled appearances by President [[Laura Roslin]] circled, strongly suggesting her as his intended target.


He was captured shortly after it was discovered that he had a gun.  (A stroke of luck, seeming that a bar room brawl caused his briefcase to be knocked over, and the gun falling out.)  [[Lee Adama|Captain Lee Adama]] and [[Thrace, Kara|Lieutenant Kara Thrace]] interrogated him with less that conventional methods, which got nowhere. It was hoped that Zarek would be involved, so as to discredit him from obtaining the Vice Presidency of the Colonies.
Valance is apprehended when a barroom brawl aboard ''[[Cloud 9]]'' knocks his briefcase to the floor, spilling the weapon. Captain [[Lee Adama]] and Lieutenant [[Kara Thrace]] conduct a coercive interrogation but extract no actionable intelligence. Fleet leadership hopes his capture will implicate Zarek sufficiently to disqualify him from the Vice Presidency of the Colonies.
 
He was killed by an unknown party during his incarceration aboard the ''[[Cloud Nine]]'', the assassin apparently sneaking into the room via the air duct. 
 
Zarek commented to Roslin that he did not know who would have killed Valance ([[Colonial Day]]).


Valance is subsequently found dead in his cell, killed by an unidentified party who accessed the room through the air ducts. Zarek, when informed, tells Roslin he has no knowledge of who ordered the killing {{TRS|Colonial Day}}.

Valance is a professional assassin with suspected ties to Tom Zarek, active around 1 ACH (2000BYR).

He carries a ceramic pistol capable of defeating X-ray scanners, concealed within a specially constructed briefcase lined with X-ray-impervious material. Among his effects is a personal calendar with all scheduled appearances by President Laura Roslin circled, strongly suggesting her as his intended target.

Valance is apprehended when a barroom brawl aboard Cloud 9 knocks his briefcase to the floor, spilling the weapon. Captain Lee Adama and Lieutenant Kara Thrace conduct a coercive interrogation but extract no actionable intelligence. Fleet leadership hopes his capture will implicate Zarek sufficiently to disqualify him from the Vice Presidency of the Colonies.

Valance is subsequently found dead in his cell, killed by an unidentified party who accessed the room through the air ducts. Zarek, when informed, tells Roslin he has no knowledge of who ordered the killing (TRS: "Colonial Day").
