Evelyn was Joseph Adama's assistant and close friend in the years leading up to the First Cylon War. She was also the New Cap City persona known as Emanuelle, Adama's guide and partner in his search for the avatar of his deceased daughter, Tamara Adama.

History

Evelyn worked for Joseph Adama's Caprican law practice, acting as a personal assistant, associate and sometimes investigator for several years. Despite having been repeatedly promised that she would never have do it again, Evelyn grudgingly acted as secretary from time to time, delivering Adama coffee. Primarily, Evelyn arranged Adama's affairs, making sure drops were made to Caprican judges in return for judicial favors (CAP: "The Reins of a Waterfall", "Know Thy Enemy").

In addition to their close working relationship, Evelyn and Joseph shared a close personal relationship that bordered on the romantic (CAP: "The Reins of a Waterfall", "Know Thy Enemy").

Following the loss of his daughter Tamara in the MagLev bombing, Evelyn watched helpless as Joseph descend further into mourning and become consumed with his search for Tamara's avatar in the Virtual World construct known as New Cap City (CAP: "Pilot", "End of Line").

Emanuelle

"Emmanuelle" in New Cap City.

In order to intervene in Adama's growing obsession, Evelyn created a persona for herself that would allow her to keep watch over Joseph in New Cap City. Calling herself Emmanuelle, Evelyn chose a new physical appearance, and a harder, more streetwise identity (CAP: "The Imperfections of Memory).

Introducing herself as an associate of Tad "Herecles" Thorean, "Emmanuelle" offered to act as Joseph's guide, helping him to search for Tammy's avatar. Helping Adama chose a better wardrobe in which to infiltrate New Cap City, Emmanuelle lead Joseph to the virtual nightclub Mysteries and introduced him to amp, a performance-enhancing (though highly addictive) hack. Using amp, Joseph eliminates the crowd and guards at Mysteries in order to interrogate the owner, Cerberus, as to the whereabouts of his daughter (CAP: "Ghosts in the Machine").

End of Line

Evelyn comforts a grieving Joseph Adama.

Still coming up with few results, Evelyn as Emmanuelle continued to observe Joseph's downward spiral and his burgeoning addiction to amp. Realizing the search and her help were doing more harm than good, Emmanuelle devised a plan to lure the Tamara avatar to the New Cap City version of her Little Tauron apartment. There, Emmanuelle explained the damage that had been done to Tammy's father (CAP: "End of Line").

Leading Joseph to his apartment in New Cap City, Emmanuelle was present as Tammy shot herself in the chest, then turned the gun on her father - faking her own death and ejecting Joseph from the game (CAP: "End of Line").

In the real world, as Joseph reeled from losing his daughter all over again, Evelyn was there to comfort him (CAP: "End of Line").

Notes

In the Battlestar Galactica episode "Hero", Admiral William Adama's dossier gives his mother's name as "Evelyn". However, the premiere episode of Caprica depicts his mother as Shannon Adama. Though this has yet to develop on screen, it has been speculated that Evelyn may in fact turn out to be William Adama's stepmother.
