The First Hybrid is the precursor to the modern Cylon Hybrids, and is the first step in their evolution from pure machines to organic beings.
There are references in the Cylon databases to this prototype as a failed experiment which may still exist. William Adama encountered what appears to be this hybrid near the end of the first Cylon War, who is able to place a projection into Adama's mind, and repeats the mantra that "all this has happened before..."
Much later, Kendra Shaw encounters this hybrid on a base ship crewed by a faction of Cylon Centurion Model 0005 units known as Guardians. Unlike the later version Hybrids, this one speaks coherently in the voice of an old man. He says to her: "What am I? A man? Or am I a machine? My children believe I am their god," and demonstrates prophetic knowledge about Shaw and Kara Thrace. In particular, he warns Shaw that Thrace is the herald of the apocalypse and must not be followed by the Colonials, though jamming prevents her from relaying all of this message to Pegasus. The first Hybrid seems to be far more lucid than the newer Hybrids.
The Hybrid declares that after his destruction his existence will "begin again in ways uncertain." Shaw detonates an explosive device aboard the basestar, killing herself and this instance of the first Hybrid (Razor).
Although this Hybrid possesses the same metaphysical perception as its descendants, it is considerably more lucid. Like the modern Hybrids, the First Hybrid functions as the central computer of its basestar, but it also appears to act as the basestar's command and control, given the absence of modern humanoid Cylons aboard.
