Specialist Socinus is a deckhand aboard battlestar Galactica assigned to Chief Galen Tyrol. At the time of the Cylon Attack on the Twelve Colonies, he is attached to Deck Crew 5, and is responsible for Viper and Raptor maintenance (Mini-Series).

In the process of an investigation of a bombing by a copy of Aaron Doral using stolen ordinance from one of Galactica's arms lockers, Socinus is charged with "conspiracy and collusion with a Cylon agent" and arrested by Master-At-Arms Sergeant Hadrian. Aware that Tyrol and Valerii were having intimate relations at the time, Socinus covers for Tyrol and falsely claims that he left open a hatch combing to causeway C and to the arms locker by accident.

It was likely Valerii's sleeper Cylon personality that entered through that hatch combing, leaving it open so a copy of Aaron Doral could gain access to the explosives.

Commander Adama doubts Socinus' actions (being aware of Tyrol and Valerii's relationship). Tyrol confesses to Adama that he was with Valerii at the time of the bombing, with the deck gang covering for him. This did not result in Socinus' release, as he did lie before the tribunal.

Socinus is released on parole for the scout mission to Kobol (Kobol's Last Gleaming, Pt. I) by request of Tyrol due to the extreme short-handedness of experienced crew. He becomes stranded on Kobol with the rest of the survivors of Raptor 1.

Socinus sustains critical injuries including severe smoke inhalation during the crash. He is treated with serisone to prevent fluid from building up in his lungs. Despite the efforts of Tarn, Cally and Galen Tyrol, (Scattered) to acquire another medkit from the crashsite to help keep him alive, Socinus' injuries are too severe. In the end, Tyrol euthanizes Socinus by morpha overdose to save him from a slow and agonizing death (Valley of Darkness).
