Bootes

Bootes was a human resident of the planet Equellus killed by Red-Eye.

Bootes was a rancher who, like most other people on Equellus, was bullied and terrorized by Red-Eye, who would regularly confiscate livestock as tribute to Lacerta, his boss. Bootes lived in the ranch next to his sister Vella and her son Puppis. His sister's late husband, Martin, was a Colonial Warrior who had crashed on their planet and fallen in love with his sister years earlier. Bootes learned about Colonial Warriors from Martin on the eve of his wedding day, but Martin apparently never told Bootes about the Cylons. When Martin was killed by Red-Eye, Bootes became a father figure to young nephew Puppis.

When Bootes met the marooned Apollo, he immediately recognized his uniform, rank, and laser; he eagerly encouraged Apollo to eliminate Red-Eye, and was angered when Apollo refused. Later, when Red-Eye appropriated half of Bootes' herd, Bootes got drunk and rode into town in a rage. He confronted Lacerta, who called upon Red-Eye, who shot Bootes to death. Bootes was the last person killed by Red-Eye, before Red-Eye himself was eliminated by Apollo. (The Lost Warrior)
