Jacob Cantrell is Sagittaron's current representative to the Quorum of Twelve ("The Ties That Bind", "Escape Velocity", "Guess What's Coming to Dinner?").
When Roslin goes missing after a Cylon baseship she visits unexpectedly jumps away, the Quorum squabbles over her successor. Cantrell pointedly asks Lee Adama whether Admiral Adama would support Tom Zarek or the government if he were to become president. After some hesitation Adama replies that he wouldn't, leading to more shouting (Sine Qua Non). Later, Roslin considers Cantrell the key to persuading the Quorum in favor of an alliance with the rebel Cylons (The Oath).
