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


'''Valance''' is an assassin who might have 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 is President [[Laura Roslin|Roslin]], seeing as all the events she is to attend are circled in Valance's briefcase (which itself is constructed with a compartment that conceals the gun and is 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 is captured shortly after it is discovered that he has a gun (a stroke of luck, seeing that a bar room brawl causes his briefcase to be knocked over, and the gun to fall out). Captain [[Lee Adama]] and Lieutenant [[Kara Thrace]] interrogate him with less than conventional methods, which gets nowhere. They hope that Zarek is involved, in order 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 is killed by an unknown party during his incarceration aboard the ''[[Cloud Nine]]'', the assassin apparently sneaking into the room via the air duct. 
 
Zarek comments to Roslin that he does not know who might 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").
