The First Hybrid was the prototype of the Hybrids, entities that represents the first step in the [Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] evolution from pure machines to organic beings.
There are references in the Cylon databases to this prototype as a failed experiment which may still exist. William Adama encountered what appears to be this hybrid near the end of the first Cylon War, who is able to place a projection into Adama's mind, and repeats the mantra that "all this has happened before..."
Much later, Kendra Shaw encounters this hybrid on a base ship crewed by Cylon Centurion Model 0005 units (or similar.) Unlike the later version Hybrids, this one speaks coherently in the voice of an old man. He says to her, "What am I? A man? Or am I a machine? My children believe I am a god." and demonstrates prophetic knowledge about Shaw and Kara Thrace.
The first Hybrid seems to be far more lucid than the newer Hybrids.
