Additional Information
[[Image:|200px|Megan]]

Megan is the only surviving parent of Kyle, Miri, Ariadne, Robus, and Nilz; their mother died in the Cylon attack of Attila. He was obviously a wealthy landowner and moral man, defying the Cylons through guerrilla attacks.

Being shown an offer for his exchange from Kyle (written on a piece of leather or parchment) by Specter, Megan isn't too pleased to learn that his son Kyle is going to trade another human for him (He even blaims his son to be egoistical, although Kyle only desperately tries to bring back Megan as his father to his 5 children). Specter manages to trick Megan into believing that he would be traded, even going as so far as extracting a promise to stop his children from attacking his garrison.

When the trade occurs, Specter allows a short, terse statement from Megan, then has a Centurion temporarily silence him. In a duplicitous fashion, Specter sends over a fabricated human-shaped duplicate made out of textile materials.

Megan is quite pleased to see that his children had done the same, meaning they had learned that the Cylons could never be trusted. Megan is freed by Starbuck and Miri, who sneak themselves into the castle via a secret entrance.

After Boomer and Apollo land on the planet, Megan and his family elect to stay on Attila. After all, they had fought for it, and now it was theirs ^{(TOS: "The Young Lords")}.

Separate Continuity

In The Young Warriors novelization, Megan is named after one of the two Scorpion founders of the human colony on Antila. Megan and Renkin are the mother and father of five children: 18-year old Miri, 13-year old Kyle, 12-year old Ariadne, and the younger twin siblings Nilz and Robus. Prior to the Cylon invasion, Megan and Renkin work to revise the colony's laws in order to initiate a system based on the "original Megan's beliefs" that are more communistic than opportunistic and self-serving.

Cylon Invasion of Antila

Megan is captured, along with some other Antilians like Kordel, during the Cylon invasion of the planet. Imprisoned in the castle, Miri is able to visit through secret passages within the castle, where she finds her mother's health has declined substantially. When Miri presents Megan with Spectre's offer of a prisoner exchange, where she would be exchanged for Starbuck, Megan refuses. Kyle proceeds with the exchange, even when Miri tells her brother of this. Spectre reneges on the exchange, exchanging Megan for a dummy and absconding with both Megan and Starbuck who are en route to the castle in a rickety wagon.

After speaking with Starbuck, Megan begins to have a begrudging respect for the Warrior, despite her own pacifistic, anti-war tendencies, even inviting him to stay on Antila after they free it to rebuild their colony. Megan is wounded by Cylon weapons fire during Magician's rescue attempt, where Magician is only able to rescue Starbuck. (The Young Warriors).

Notes

• In the novelization, Megan was the mother of the children, not the father as depicted in the episode. Given that the character's name is commonly used for females in the United States, this would actually make sense. It is more likely that the novelization writer Robert Thurston assumed that the character is feminine.
