Lucifer is the Cylon IL-series attached to Baltar, who is assigned to seek out Galactica's Fleet and destroy them. He initially presumes that he will learn much from the Human who betrayed his own race (Saga of a Star World).

Baltar and Lucifer demonstrate from the beginning of their relationship a drastically different way of thinking. Lucifer appears to have a very good grasp of strategy and tactics, yet he is unable anticipate Baltar's orders. Lucifer at first views this unpredictablity as an asset, and is eager to observe Baltar. Lucifer is curious to see how Baltar reacts when Galactica ends up behaving in a way that neither of them seem to have anticipated, and is delighted to study under so devious a specimen (Lost Planet of the Gods, Part I).

Lucifer grows impatient with Baltar's games very quickly, and seizes command of the basestar when Baltar goes to Kobol to try to lure the Colonials with promises of peace. He orders an attack on the colonial forces, inadvertently freeing Adama, Apollo, and Serina as well as trapping Baltar beneath a fallen stone (Lost Planet of the Gods, Part II).

Lucifer has clear and present distrust of Specter, and attempts to convince Baltar of the problems Specter has (The Young Lords).

Notes

• Lucifer is named after the fallen angel depicted in texts of Roman Catholic and other origins, also another name for the devil.

• Though speculatory, all IL-series Cylons may be named after some form of demon in homage to Count Iblis, who originally had control over the Cylons. Other speculation is that IL stands for Imperious Leader series.

• Lucifer's "first" appearance is in the final scenes of "Saga of a Star World", in which Baltar is spared execution by the succeeding Imperious Leader.
