This article covers the various depictions of Lucifer from the tie-in novelizations, comic books, and other media.
Berkley Novelizations
Background
Unlike his canonical analogue, Lucifer is not a Cylon but an ambulatory cybernetic sentience that the Cylons created as a result of their developments into war machines, presumably during the Thousand Yahren War. However, unbeknownst to his Cylon masters, he believes he has a soul, since he "created" his own personality.[1] Additionally, he is able to override much of the Cylons' programming, with the exception of the extreme loyalty that is deeply embedded into his programming.
Despite not being a Cylon, Lucifer is afforded both an official name and a secret name; his official name, Lucifer, is an acronym for his secret name.[2] He is also able to create various machines, some of which were used in Baltar's training.[3]
The Tombs of Kobol
Lucifer rescues Baltar from execution, forcing the human to undergo diet, as well as mental and physical exercises, for the purposes of Lucifer's plan to use Baltar to destroy Adama's Fleet.[4] After Lucifer's plan and Baltar are presented to the Imperious Leader, Baltar is able to have Lucifer reprogrammed to be totally subservient to him.[5]
Although Lucifer is able to negate the program's effects, Lucifer ends up acquiescing to it and saves Baltar from death on Kobol. However, his exposure to Lieutenant Starbuck—previously captured by a Cylon patrol before encountering Kobol—leads him to think favorably of certain humans, and to determine the nature of human "luck" after Starbuck introduces Lucifer to pyramid.
The Young Warriors
Lucifer is dismayed by Spectre's flattery of Baltar, despite Lucifer's attempts to convince him of Spectre's duplicitous nature. He is beside himself when Spectre not only manages to fool Baltar into authorizing his retreat from Antila, but also Baltar's assignment of Spectre as Lucifer's aide.
