Oswyn Eriku: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 17:03, 22 December 2025

Oswyn Eriku is the Libran delegate of the Quorum of Twelve following the Fall of the Twelve Colonies. During the election of the interim Vice President, he voted for Dr. Gaius Baltar ^{(TRS: "Colonial Day")}.

Following the arrest of President Laura Roslin and attempted assassination of William Adama, Eriku later joins other representatives lead by Tom Zarek in journeying to Galactica, in order to meet with Colonel Saul Tigh regarding the disruption of the Fleet's leadership ^{(TRS: "Fragged")}.

Eriku was later part of Gaius Baltar's presidential cabinet and was present when Cylon representatives Number Five, Caprica-Six and Sharon Valerii arrived on New Caprica and boarded Colonial One. He was shocked when Baltar agreed to surrender on behalf of the people of the The Twelve Colonies of Kobol, leading to the four-month occupation by the Cylons ^{(TRS: "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II")}.

Surviving the occupation and subsequent exodus, he was present at Baltar's trial, seated with fellow Quorum delegates Miksa Burian and Elrad Hunt ^{(TRS: "Crossroads, Part II")}.

Eriku continued to serve on the Quorum of Twelve, often seated between the Picon Delegate and the Gemenon Delegate directly opposite Leland Adama during sessions ^{(TRS: "The Ties That Bind", "Escape Velocity", "Guess What's Coming to Dinner?" and "Sine Qua Non")}. At one point, he voted in favor of Vice President Thomas Zarek's motion to not allow rebel Cylons aboard any civilian ship without permission of said-ship's crew or passenger complement ^{(TRS: "A Disquiet Follows My Soul")}. During Gaeta's Mutiny, he and the rest of the Quorum (except Adama, the Gemenon Delegate and another female delegate) were shot dead on Zarek's order ^{(TRS: "The Oath" and "Blood on the Scales")}.

Behind the Scenes

Oswyn Eriku was portrayed by an uncredited extra. Said extra also appeared in the Miniseries as a security guard who accompanied Chief Galen Tyrol's boarding party to Ragnar Station. Out of all the original Quorum delegates, Eriku is the only one noted for serving in both incarnations of the body.
