-The '''bribing man'''<ref>{{bsgwiki term}}</ref> is a man with a lot of money at his disposal who tries to escape the bombing of [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]].
-The man is part of a large mob of people in the rural outskirts outside the cities of Caprica who are running away from the blasts. The mob heads for the Raptor (crewed by [[Karl Agathon|"Helo" Agathon]] and [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]]) after seeing it land. The mob includes a [[Lady with glasses|old forgetful woman]], [[Giana|a woman with a missing husband in the Colonial Fleet]], a very [[desperate man]], and [[Gaius Baltar]].
-The man offers 50,000 [[cubit]]s to Helo as a bribe to get on board. Helo refuses his offer as well as another man (off-screen) who counters with 60,000 cubits.
-The man's lottery number is not picked, and he is left behind on Caprica.
-It is likely that the man, along with every other refugee in the crowd (except Helo, who carries [[anti-radiation medication]]), eventually succumbs to radiation poisoning<ref>The fate of these refugees is confirmed in the special [[Sci Fi Channel]] program, ''[[Battlestar Galactica: The Story So Far]]''.</ref> ([[Miniseries, Night 1]]).
