Lord Erebus is an Imperious Leader from the 2003 "Battlestar Galactica" video game.
Erebus leads the Cylon task force known as Cylon Fleet Gamma against the Twelve Colonies during the beginning of the Cylon War, and was especially interested in Lt. William Adama, whom it was believed would one day lead the Colonials (and thus, the Cylons) to the lost tribe of Colonists.

Whatever the truth about this aberrant, corrupt being, Lord Erebus proved himself to be a clear and present danger to all humans. Erebus was served by modified Cylons as part of his Crimson Elite Guard. He was finally killed by Adama in the upper atmosphere of the gas giant planet Golem Five.
Erebus was voiced by veteran actor Dwight Schultz, who starred in the TV show "The A-Team" with Original Series actor Dirk Benedict.
Note[edit]
The "Battlestar Galactica" video game has its own continuity that uses elements from both the Original Series and the Re-imagined Series.
Unlike its Original Series counterparts, Erebus has an actual name as opposed to being called only by its title. Because of this and other significant differences found in the video game, the canonical value of Erebus as an Original Series character is very unlikely.
