Lt. Tucker "Duck" Clellan is present for the card game at the beginning of "Flight of the Phoenix" and later participates in the massacre of the disabled Cylon raiders.

According to Kat, he is one of the best pilots that Galactica still has. Clellan helps put Reilly's things away after he's killed by Scar (Scar). Later, during a patrol of the Big Spud, Duck unsuccessfully calls BB to retreat when their patrol's fuel is too low. BB, a nugget, ignores orders and engages a group of Raiders with fatal results (Scar).

In "The Captain's Hand" he tries to enter the pilots' duty locker several times, but Lee Adama and Anastasia Dualla have locked it after spending the night together there.

At the time of the settling of New Caprica, Duck is an ace several times over with forty confirmed kills. His significant other is a woman called Nora, and they want to have a child. He was later approached by his friends, Galen Tyrol and Jammer, in an attempt to recruit him into their resistance efforts, but declined due to his plans with Nora. He was also a smoker, but quit due to the aforementioned plans (The Resistance).

Following Nora's death in the New Caprica Temple, Duck was clearly upset at the revelation that the Resistance was hiding weapons there.

After a brief period of mourning, he relents and agrees to join the New Caprica Resistance by infiltrating the New Caprica Police and keeping an eye on the Cylons (Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance). Clellan later agrees to become a suicide bomber when the Resistance learns about a NCP graduation ceremony, believing that Gaius Baltar will also be present; when Samuel Anders asks whether Clellan is comitted, he states that without Nora, he has nothing left to live for.

Despite Baltar's last-minute withdrawl from attending, Clellan executes the plan (Occupation), which results in the deaths of 33 people and Cylon VIPs and, eventually, a crackdown including mass abductions of "suspected insurgents" by the surviving NCP members (Precipice).

Notes
