Meier was one of Tom Zarek's right-hand men in Zarek's quest for political power in The Fleet.
Meier warned Zarek of an unknown spacecraft approaching their base ship, the Astral Queen while they and other ships of Roslin's faction orbited Kobol in search of the whereabouts of Earth. Meier suggested engaging it using the weapons of the ship Adriatic, one of the few civilian ships of the fleet that had defensive ability. Laura Roslin delayed the attack until Kara Thrace identified herself as piloting the craft.
Later, Meier and Zarek decided that the only way for Zarek to gain access to Roslin's inner circle (and later, with Roslin's death from illness, to rise to power) was for her most influential advisor, Lee Adama, to die. Meier was taking "advantage" of Elosha's warning from the Sacred Scrolls that humans returning to Kobol faced a deadly risk (Home, Part I).
On Kobol, Zarek warned Meier to be cautious and await the best opportunity. When the opportunity passed after Commander Adama's party arrived, Zarek told Meier to cancel the operation.
Meier ignored him. and continued with the plan of using Caprica-Sharon Valerii to assassinate Lee for them, leaving Zarek unlikely to be blamed for the incident. Meier took advantage of Valerii's emotional state by describing her Galactica counterpart's "murder" without trial and warning her of the same fate from the Adamas. Valerii told Meier that when they reached the Tomb of Athena, she would "take the father" while he "[took] the son".
At the Tomb's entrance, Valerii drew a pistol on Adama, prompting Lee to point his pistol at her and Meier to point his weapon at Lee. Sharon double-crossed Meier by turning and shooting him instead, then turning the pistol over to Adama. Valerii indicated that the pistol was given to her by Meier. A second, identical pistol fell from Meier's hand as he fell to the ground.
Zarek comforted his friend until he died from the gunshot wound a few moments later (Home, Part II).
Based on Commander Adama's behavior in keeping only those he trusted inside the tomb shortly before he entered, it is probable that he strongly suspects Zarek in a plot, despite Meier's attempt to cover up the links.
