Admiral Nelena Cain, hailing from the colony Tauron, was the commander of the Mercury-class Battlestar Pegasus. At the time of the Cylon attack, her Battlestar was stationed at the Scorpion Ship Yards for repair and shore leave. As the Cylons attacked, Cain ordered a blind FTL jump, gambling that the result of such an impromptu (and inadvisable) act would be better than the alternative.
The events of the battle led Cain to develop post-traumatic stress disorder; a manifestation of her affliction was odd hand movements and gestures. After the attack, Cain constantly carried a sidearm holstered on her belt, never taking it off.
Somehow, she rescued survivors from the ship yards, including a Humano-Cylon named Gina. Gina summarily caused the death of 800 persons under her command when she informed the Cylons of their survival. Thwarting that, Cain led them away from the Twelve Colonies, following a fleet that had been trailing the Galactica.
Cain not only enjoyed the sensation of power, but also the acquisition of more of it. Upon meeting up with Commander William Adama's fleet, she assumed command and transferred personnel from the Galactica to the Pegasus, including Lee Adama and Kara Thrace.
After the suspect terminal assault of one of her crew members, one Lieutenant Thorne, she arrested Tyrol and Helo and summarily had them court martialed, much to Adama's chagrin (Pegasus).
She is later killed by Gina (Resurrection Ship).
Notes
Nelena Cain is inspired by the character of Commander Cain from the original Battlestar Galactica, portrayed by the late Lloyd Bridges.
Actress Michelle Forbes is a Star Trek: The Next Generation veteran cast member.
Cain's habit of expediting meetings by conducting then without chairs is borrowed from UN Ambassador John R. Bolton. (Source: "Pegasus" podcast)
