The man dubbed the tattooed pilot is a large, bald, tattooed Viper pilot stationed on Galactica. His tattoos include a tiger on his left arm and a dragon on his right arm.
The tattooed pilot is briefly seen at a briefing when the Fleet had to make an FTL jump every 33 minutes to escape their Cylon pursuers (33).
The pilot is often seen playing card games such as Triad or Dead Man's Chest. He can be seen at a card game during the crisis after the water tanks were sabotaged, playing with Kara Thrace and Gaius Baltar (Water).
The tattooed pilot is present at a briefing when Kara Thrace is acting as CAG during Lee Adama's absence from ship (Bastille Day).
He is present at the briefing where the pilots complain that they are missing the confined Captain Adama at their cardgame (Resistance).
He is again playing with Starbuck, Racetrack, Duck and Hot Dog when, after his return from Caprica, Helo comes to the playing table and is treated as a persona non grata by everyone except Starbuck (Flight of the Phoenix).
He is one of several pilots watching D'anna Biers's documentary (Final Cut).
The tattooed pilot is one of the crewmembers present during the arrival of Admiral Helena Cain on Galactica (Pegasus).
He is seen partying with other pilots when Galactica is defending the Majahual and drinking a shooter out of a female pilot's belly button (Scar).
Shortly after the exodus from New Caprica, he sits at a table in the rec room behind to Kara Thrace and Felix Geata (Collaborators).
The tattooed pilot is playing "Dead Man's Chest" with Starbuck, Hot Dog, Kat and Noel Allison when Helo asks for a callsign for Sharon Agathon and submits his own proposal: "Chrome Dome" (Torn).
During the food shortage, he is present at a briefing before the passage through the star cluster, takes parts in one of the trips through it, and watches Admiral Adama making Kat's posthumous promotion official by switching her name on the pilot roster with Lee Adama's (The Passage).
At a pilot's daily mission briefing, some 49 days since the last Cylon encounter, he sits down between Hot Dog and Helo after the latter moves one seat over to tease Hot Dog about his rash in the pubic region (A Day in the Life).
Notes[edit]
- The nickname of "Tattooed pilot" is a Battlestar Wiki descriptive term.
- Despite appearing in a number of episodes, he has not been named yet on screen. He might be one from the list of mentioned-only pilots. Although he has not been given an official callsign by the writers yet, he is often referred to by fans as "Salty" or "Dragon".
- Despite saying only one line in the whole series so far, he is one of the most memorable Galactica pilots due to his appearance.
- He is wearing a Viper patch on his flight suit in "A Day in the Life", but has been shown with a Raptor patch in some earlier episodes.
