Nicholas Stephen Tyrol is the infant son of Cally Tyrol and Brendan Costanza, originally believed to be the son of Galen Tyrol.

He was born some time between the end of "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II" (c. day 680) and "Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance, Part I" (c. day 727), and is dedicated to the service of Ares and Apollo (Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance, Part X).

Chief Tyrol tells Sharon Agathon that Nicholas is named after Cally's grandfather (Exodus, Part I).

When Cally finds out that her husband is a Cylon, she attempts to kill herself and her son. However, Tory Foster, under the guise of dissuading her from her actions, takes Nicholas into her arms, only to space Cally herself (The Ties That Bind).

He was originally thought to be a Cylon/human hybrid, because his father Galen Tyrol is a type of Cylon (Crossroads, Part II). Some time later, young Nicholas is treated for renal failure, and Galen reminds the medical staff has to give special care for young Nicky because of his believed half-Cylon nature. But after Layne Ishay compels Dr. Cottle to tell Galen more about his son, Doc Cottle later reveals that Galen Tyrol was not the biological father (A Disquiet Follows My Soul).

Following the days after they leave Earth, Galen Tyrol rushes into sickbay with Nicholas telling them he is "peeing blood" (A Disquiet Follows My Soul). Nurse Ishay and Dr. Cottle inform Galen Tyrol that his son is suffering from early renal failure but that treatment should prevent a damaged kidney. Things get more complicated when Tyrol corrects the medical team that his child is half-Cylon, and requires half-Cylon blood not human blood. Ishay tries to tell Cottle to inform Tyrol of something important only to be dismissed by Cottle. Cottle then proceeds to tell Tyrol privately that his late wife, Cally Tyrol, hid a secret: little Nicky is not Galen's biological child. When Tyrol asks who the father is, Cottle angrily declines that request until he can tell the birth father himself. Later Galen Tyrol and the biological father Brendan 'Hotdog' Costanza erupt into a fist fight at one of Baltar's services.

Later back in sickbay Nicholas is asleep in a hospital bed while Tyrol instructs Constanza on the very basics of being a father, then turns and leaves him to tend to his son. When Costanza asks how long he must sit at Nicky's bedside, Tyrol answers, "Until I get back. That'll be after I sober up."

Notes
