Ben Stark is a student at the Athena Academy on Caprica, a private religious school. He and some of other bright students, including Lacy Rand and Stark's girlfriend, Zoe Graystone, are introduced by the school headmistress, Sister Clarice Willow to the Soldiers of the One, an illegal monotheistic cult of one god.
Ben becomes a fanatical monotheist and ostensibly goes with Graystone and Lacy to leave Caprica to live on Gemenon. As they board the Lev subway train to head for the space port to leave Caprica, Lacy backs out of the plan to run away and stays behind. Instead (and without Zoe's prior knowledge of his intent) he blows up their train and himself with a bomb (Caprica pilot).
Notes
- A previous report regarding the pilot noted that he uploaded his memories into an online holographic avatar named Ben-A, who has contact only with Sister Willow.[2] However this plot line does not exist in the final version of the pilot.
