Specialist Socinus was a deckhand aboard Battlestar Galactica assigned to Chief Galen Tyrol. At the time of the Cylon Attack on the Colonies, he was attached to Deck Crew 5, and was responsible for Viper and Raptor maintenance. (Mini-Series)

After the events at the beginning of Litmus, Socinus was charged with "conspiracy and collusion with a cylon agent" and arrested by Master-At-Arms Sergeant Hadrian. In reality, Socinus had not conspired with a Cylon Agent, but had lied about leaving the hatch combing to causeway C aboard Galactica open to hide the relationship of Tyrol and Sharon. (During the time in question, the two were meeting for an intimate moment.) Valerii had entered through that hatch combing, leaving it open so a copy of Doral could gain access to explosives, which he then detonated prematurely in C Causeway (as opposed to his intended target, Baltar's Lab on the same level).

Commander Adama however had his doubts about Socinus' actions (being aware of Tyrol and Valerii's relationship). Tyrol eventually confessed to Adama that he was with Valerii at the time of the bombing, with the deck gang covering for him. This did not result in Socinus' release, as he did lie before the tribunal. It is assumed that Socinus served his time and was then released.

Socinus was selected for the scout mission to Kobol (Kobol's Last Gleaming, Pt. I), subsequently becoming stranded on Kobol with the rest of his crew.

After Raptor 1 crashed on Kobol, he was being treated with sarzone to prevent fluid from building up in his lungs. Despite the efforts of Tarn, Cally and Galen Tyrol, (Scattered) he dies from complications. (Valley of Darkness)
