"Number Five," known to the humans as Aaron Doral, appears to be a man in his mid-thirties. He is initially encountered aboard Galactica, where he is operating as a public relations executive. Later he is active both within the fleeing Colonial fleet and on Caprica. He seems designed to network, almost to the point of being the sleazy used-car salesman type, but with a sadistic, violent side.

But Doral is a humanoid Cylon in reality. The Doral model's purpose is to attempt to sow the seeds of discontent or confusion, particularly during crucial life-threatening situations. Doral models endeavor to undermine authority that threatens his objectives. Doral models are more covert than the dazzling Sixes, assuming an ordinary "everyman" appearance blended in what may seem to be insignificant behind-the-scenes issues (such as converting Galactica into a museum).

Fives are among the most militant, fanatic and consistent to the Cylon objectives (only the Threes match them), whether they are dispassionately discussing the fate of humanity with his comrades or attempting to kill or maim the Colonials in a suicide bomb attack ^{(TRS: "Litmus")}. Despite this, they are held in some contempt by Cavil for "less than impressive" performance, and even relegated at times to menial tasks that they believe the Centurions should perform, such as mass burials of human casualties ^{(TRS: "The Plan")}.

PR Executive Copy

Doral with the press corps ^{(TRS: "Miniseries, Night 1")}.

Doral appears to be exactly what he claims when first seen in the Miniseries: a PR executive. He coordinates the ceremony surrounding Galactica's decommissioning and transfer to the civilian authorities represented by Secretary of Education Laura Roslin. During the lead-up to the ceremony, he mocks Galactica as antiquated and advocates automated defense systems (which would be more vulnerable to Cylon interference).

In the role of PR executive, Doral is efficient, polite and able to carry out his work without ruffling the feathers of those around him, while at the same time marshaling and managing the media. He usually wears an emerald suit and tie.

When Laura Roslin, as senior government official, takes charge of Colonial Heavy 798 during the Cylon attack, Doral immediately objects to her leadership immediately after her announcement to the passengers of the nuclear attacks on the various colonies ("Wait a minute...who put you in charge?"). Later, Doral tries to convince Lee Adama to assume the leadership role from Roslin. Captain Adama witnesses and supports Roslin and her leadership decisions, which quickly puts Doral in his place.

Following Gaius Baltar's arrival on Galactica, Doral becomes the fall-guy Baltar needs to divert any suspicions he feels may otherwise be directed at him following the Cylon incursion into the Twelve Colonies. In this, he is partially steered by Number Six―although the selection of Doral as his fall-guy appears to be Baltar's own choice by educated guess.

Arrested and thrown into the brig, Doral loudly proclaims his innocence of all charges, citing his background and upbringing: that he was born in Oasis, a hamlet near Caprica City, and grew up on the south side of Caprica City itself before going to Gemenon, where he studied public relations at the Kobol Colleges.

Later, after being left at the Ragnar Anchorage space station, Doral exhibits all of the symptoms initially shown by the humanoid Cylon Leoben Conoy, confirming the fact that he is a Cylon and that, however "coincidentally," Baltar selected the "right" man.

Despite his protestations of innocence, and the palpable level of fear he demonstrates within the brig, it is unlikely (based on later characterizations of humanoid Cylons who infiltrate the Fleet) that this Doral copy is a "sleeper" Cylon. Unlike Sharon "Boomer" Valerii, this Doral knew of his true nature. He is rescued and debriefed by a group of his fellow humanoid Cylons, including another Number Five ^{(TRS: "Miniseries")}.

Suicide Bomber Copy

Aaron Doral in his suicide bomber role aboard Galactica.

A copy of Doral also turns up on Galactica and is advised by Brother Cavil to act as a suicide bomber ("Litmus," "The Plan"). Supplied with explosives stolen from a small-arms locker and used to create a primitive bomb, he detonates in a corridor of the ship after being spotted and challenged by William Adama.

At the time of the explosion, Starbuck suggests that Doral's intended target was Gaius Baltar. There is little direct evidence to back-up Starbuck's claim. Sergeant Hadrian's investigation into the matter establishes that the small arms locker used by Doral is located relatively close to the flight pod (where Doral would have come aboard). Therefore, the fact that the locker and Baltar's lab resided on the same deck may have been coincidental.

Doral appears to spend some time wandering through the ship before detonating his bomb, which suggests he may have been looking for a target of opportunity, such as a command staff member or sensitive area such as CIC ^{(TRS: "Litmus")}.

This copy of Doral is implied to be rather unintelligent. Cavil berates him for walking around in the open wearing his trademark flashy suit and, more importantly, the face of a man left for dead. Doral takes issue with Cavil's criticism, citing that the Number Five marooned on Ragnar wore a burgundy suit, while he wears a teal suit. Cavil is stupefied by the response. Some weeks after his suicide, the prostitute Six with whom Cavil was collaborating mocked Doral's lack of intelligence and how he blew himself up in the middle of a deserted hallway in a tactically unimportant part of Galactica ^{(TRS: "The Plan")}.

Caprican Overseer Copy

Five in his overseer role.

On Caprica, Number Five performs the role of a Cylon overseer, working with Number Six to ensure their experiment involving the stranded Karl Agathon and Caprica copy of Sharon Valerii either reaches its desired conclusion, or is suitably terminated ("Bastille Day," "Litmus," "Flesh and Bone," "Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down"). He wears a red suit, more utilitarian than that of his PR executive counterpart.

In this, Five shows a harder attitude towards humans than Six. When she expresses regret that the destruction of humanity was necessary in order for the Cylons to achieve their ends, he is not so forgiving:

Six: "This all makes me so sad."

Five: (matter-of-fact) "They would have destroyed themselves anyway. They deserve what they got."

Six: "We're the children of humanity. That makes them our parents in a sense."

Five: "True - but parents have to die. It's the only way children come into their own."

-- Bastille Day

Later, however, when Six is disdainful of Valerii's apparent feelings for Agathon when the Caprican experiment goes awry, Five is more sympathetic, wondering what it must be like to be driven by passion that marks Agathon's action: "Even in his anguish he seemed....so alive" ^{(TRS: "Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down")}.

Other Copies

In "Final Cut," a Number Five is one of the Cylons that watches D'Anna Biers' broadcast. He comments that the life of Sharon and Helo's hybrid child must be protected at all costs.

Several copies of Number Five are seen on Cylon-occupied Caprica throughout "Downloaded," the episode that reveals that he is the fifth in the sequence of twelve Cylon models. A Five is one of the four 'rebirth nurses' that welcome first Caprica-Six and (much) later Galactica-Sharon, the "Heroes of the Cylon" back to life after their respective downloads into new bodies. He tells Boomer that the Cylons are proud of her. A copy congratulates Caprica-Six for her work in taking down the Colonial defenses. Another copy is serving coffee at the cafe which is bombed by Samuel Anders' resistance group, while yet another rescues "Caprica" and Sharon from the ruins of a garage later the same day. Fives are also seen digging mass graves for human casualties on Caprica by Samuel Anders and Jean Barolay, apparently overseen by a Number One. The fact that there are so many of the same person alerts the Caprica Resistance to the existence of human Cylon models. The Resistance ambushes and kills these copies with no loss of life to themselves and "rescues" Brother Cavil.

A Five is part of the leading group during the invasion of New Caprica, along with the aforementioned "Heroes of the Cylon". Fitting his personality archetype, this Five is quite direct in his insistence that the Colonials surrender without resistance to the Cylon armada ^{(TRS: "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II")}.

The humanoid Cylon leading the force of Centurions outside the temple on New Caprica is not seen, but is identifiable as a Five by his voice. This copy or another one later interrogates Jammer, expressing regret at the massacre at the temple and claiming it to be the resistance's fault. He releases Jammer, but not before giving him a key card to the New Caprica Detention Center to report to him if he changes his mind. After hearing Tigh's plans to hide weapons in a hospital, Jammer heads off to report to this Five. ^{(TRS: "Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance")}. At least two or three Fives make up the occupation force on New Caprica: two are shown voting on matters with the rest of the Cylon leaders with one killing Caprica-Six when she dissents with them forcing Baltar to sign a death list. The murder of Caprica-Six, though she eventually downloads into a new body, causes Baltar to cooperate. D'Anna Biers later finds Doctor Sherman Cottle to ask him about Hera Agathon and he reveals that he has been operating on a Five, either one of the two shown or a different one, that was shot by insurgents. Despite the Five being a Cylon and being able to download, Cottle operated on him as he doesn't care what his patient is and was able to save his life.

A Five is found and recovered from the infected basestar by Galactica, intending to be a part of the plan to infect the entire Cylon race with a virus spawned from an ancient probe. However, just before they are within download range of a Resurrection Ship, he and the other prisoners are killed by Karl Agathon, thus killing the Cylons permanently ^{(TRS: "A Measure of Salvation")}.

The Fives side with the Ones and the Fours in the decision to lobotomize the Raiders after they defied the humanoid Cylons' wishes at the Ionian Nebula. Two of them are shot in the conference room by Centurions whose telencephalic inhibitors have been removed by Natalie's faction ^{(TRS: "Six of One")}.

Several Fives are present to prevent the rescue of Hera, and attack the Colonials. One sneaks up behind a couple of Marines that include Sharon "Athena" Agathon and her husband, shooting and wounding him before Kara Thrace kills him. While making her way through the corridors of Galactica during the battle, Hera passes another dead copy. During the initial part of the battle after Samuel Anders deactivates the Colony's Hybrids, a Five notes that Anders must have shut down the Hybrids, showing knowledge of the identities of the Final Five's identities and Anders' condition. He joins Cavil in an assault on Galactica. The Five, a Four and Cavil assault the CIC, but the Five and the Four are killed and Cavil is captured. Another joins Cavil with another Four during the truce Baltar and Saul Tigh brokers and he stares for a moment at his dead counterpart. When Galen Tyrol starts to strangle Tory Foster for killing his wife, the Five believes that they have been betrayed and opens fire along with the other two Cylons. He is killed by Lee Adama. All Fives aboard the Colony perish when it is consumed by the black hole it is orbiting. ^{(TRS: "Daybreak, Part II")}

Notes

• Doral is the name of a recently formed city in Miami-Dade County, Florida. It was formerly a census-designated place, named for a golf and resort spa within its boundaries. The resort was orignally named for its builders Doris and Alfred Kaskel. Doral is also the name of a popular cigarette brand.

Additional Information
[[Image:|200px|Aaron]]

At the Fall of the Twelve Colonies, Captain Aaron Kelly is possibly third-in-command aboard Galactica, ranking behind Admiral William Adama and Colonel Saul Tigh; his standing in relation to Major Lee Adama in the chain of command is unclear. As the LSO (Landing Signal Officer), he is responsible for flight operations - launching and landing spacecraft - on the ship.

Shortly after a Cylon nuclear weapon strikes Galactica in the initial wave of the Cylon attack, Kelly begins giving orders to aid crewmembers trapped or fighting damage in the port flight pod, where the detonation occurred, after Executive Officer Saul Tigh hesitates. Tigh soon countermands Kelly and orders the flight pod vented to stop the fires. He also assists in the capture of Aaron Doral ^{(TRS: "Miniseries")}.

When Commander Adama is shot by the Cylon infiltrator Sharon Valerii, Lieutenant Felix Gaeta reminds him on his arrival to CIC that Kelly is now second-in-command ^{(TRS: "Scattered")}. As a strong believer in Commander Adama's philosophy on computer networks, he voices his objections over networking Galactica's computer systems after the battlestar loses the Fleet due to incorrect jump coordinates, asserting that the Old Man would never even consider Gaeta's option to network the computers for a faster jump calculation. Soon after, when Galactica is boarded by Cylon Centurions, Kelly assists Lieutenant Gaeta and Colonel Tigh in coordinating an effort to stop their advance ^{(TRS: "Valley of Darkness")}.

Captain Kelly apparently returns to his day to day duties as LSO, coordinating Viper landings from the port hangar bay, as Commander Adama returned to duty and the normal chain of command was restored. He is on duty when Louanne Katraine, disoriented from stims, crash lands her Viper onto the landing bay ^{(TRS: "Final Cut")}.

During the Battle of New Caprica, and presumably in the year and four months leading to it, he performs Gaeta's role as tactical officer on Galactica (Exodus, Part I and Part II).

When the trial of Gaius Baltar draws near, Kelly tries to disrupt the proceedings with a series of bombings. One of the attacks kills Baltar's lawyer. An attack on his next lawyer, Romo Lampkin, is thwarted only by chance. A third attack injures Lampkin. When questioned, Kelly says that he couldn't handle sending off pilots to their deaths anymore, and would continue to try if he is not locked up ^{(TRS: "The Son Also Rises")}. Because of this, it is unlikely that he is currently on active duty in his role as LSO.

After the discovery of a devastated Earth (and after being freed from the brig by the mutineers), he joins Felix Gaeta's mutiny and leads a squad of marines in pursuit of Admiral Adama and Colonel Tigh. ^{(TRS: "The Oath")}

He later went to Colonial One, where he heard two marines gun down the Quorom of Twelve, after he is given an order by Zarek. He returns to Galactica, where he defends an arms locker and runs into Tyrol, who comes out of the air vents. At first, he contemplates killing him, but after a discussion, he lowers his rifle, before raising it again and tells Tyrol to leave. Tyrol escapes into an air vent again. Later, Kelly is ordered to escort Adama to his execution with some marines. However, Kelly splits off from the rest of the group. Knowing what is about to happen, he breaks down in the memorial hallway, where he encounters Lee and his group. Aaron decides to defect and not only tells the team where Adama is to be executed, but assists them in rescuing him. Kelly takes part in Adama's recapturing of Galactica as well. ^{(TRS: "Blood on the Scales")}

Notes

• When questioned about the bomb on Athena's Raptor, Kelly tells Apollo he would not have detonated it with the major on board. It goes unsaid, however, he would have likely sacrificed Athena (or any other pilot) to kill Lampkin.
• Kelly is wearing junior pilot qualification wings. Together with his regular duty as Landing Signal Officer, this indicates that Kelly is not only flight qualified, but an experienced pilot. This reflects real world practices on aircraft carriers, where LSOs are trained aviators.
• Kelly's first name is revealed in the closing episode credits of "Final Cut".
• It is unknown why Karl Agathon was chosen to become Galactica's XO prior to the Cylon occupation as Captain Kelly was the nominal third-in-command and should have assumed the post after Colonel Tigh and his wife settled on New Caprica. It's possible he declined the position.
• It was unclear whether or not he returned to active duty following the mutiny, or if he volunteered for the rescue mission to save Hera Agathon. He presumably settled with the other Colonists and Cylons on new Earth.
