Reilly is a Viper pilot assigned to Galactica. He is killed by Scar. His death is particularly gruesome, as Cally purportedly has to "hose out his [Beano's] cockpit" (Scar). He is said to have been a competent pilot, but easily spooked. A photo of his girlfriend (presumably dead, presumably having been taken pre-war) is a recurring topic of conversation during "Scar", as no one seems to be able to remember her name.
