For relating to Gaius Baltar's mother in the Re-imagined Series comics, see: Vanessa Baltar.

This article has a separate continuity.
This article is in the Dynamite Entertainment separate continuity, which is related to the Original Series. Be sure that your contributions to this article reflect the characters and events specific to this continuity only.

For relating to a person with the same first name from "The Captain's Hand", see: Abel Thornton.

Baltar's mother is a woman who, with Sela, begat Baltar.

Residing on Cygnus, Baltar's mother cared for Baltar—forbidding Baltar to visit the tylium mines—while keeping Sela's self-destructive urges in check. However, following her death, Sela was left unchecked and Baltar was given his first taste of power and vice.

As a child, Baltar's mother would nurse him under the stars; a memory Baltar had of her was pointing out the stars held by the Cylon Empire (^{(Comics: Battlestar Galactica Annual 2014)}).

↑ The state of their union is never explicitly stated.

-'''Sela''' is the sole proprietor on [[Cygnus]] who oversees the {{TOS|tylium}} mine there.
+'''Baltar's mother''' is a woman who, with [[Sela]], begat {{alt|Baltar|TOS}}.
-Following the death of [[Baltar's mother|his wife]], he and {{alt|Baltar|TOS-DE}} reside on Cygnus, introducing Baltar to his first taste of wealth.
+Residing on [[Cygnus]], Baltar's mother cared for Baltar&mdash;forbidding Baltar to visit the {{TOS|tylium}} mines&mdash;while keeping Sela's self-destructive urges in check. However, following her death, Sela was left unchecked and Baltar was given his first taste of power and vice.
-After Baltar succumbs to his own lesser instincts by secreting a tylium nugget found in the mine tunnel, Sela's sensors detect this attempt at thievery and becomes severely displeased that his own blood would steal from him. Exacting punishment, Sela whips Baltar's back permanently scarring the young child both emotionally and physically. He further tells Baltar that he and [[Merab]] killed a worker who tried stealing from them, and justifies his punishment of Baltar thusly, "You're man enough to steal. Be man enough to pay for it."
+As a child, Baltar's mother would nurse him under the stars; a memory Baltar had of her was pointing out the stars held by the {{alt|Cylon Empire}} ({{comics|annual2014}}).
-Sela and Baltar remain on Cygnus, even after the {{alt|Cylons|TOS}} [[Invasion of Cygnus|invade it]] for the tylium deposits. Both he and his son, along with various tylium miners formerly under his employ, are kept alive as part of the human workforce.
-Unbeknownst to Sela, Baltar overhears Sela and his fellow compatriot's plan to destroy the tylium mine through the use of [[radiation charge]]s, and the youth exacts his revenge by reporting the sabotage attempt to the {{alt|Centurion|TOS}} [[Commandant]]. With this information confirmed by the Commandant's Centurions, Sela and his compatriots are executed while Baltar is freed ({{comics|annual2014}}).
