An aggressive, virtually uncontrollable member of Commander Croft's team that kept the plunders of the Cylon plutonium mine to themselves, and was responsible for killing a higher unnamed commander. He was an expert in any variety of alien environments, and bragged as such to anyone who would listen. He used a knockout capsule, paralyzing the warrior he sparred with, before the mission commenced.
He was in on the plot to ditch the expedition when the right opportunity occurred, and knocked out a Ser Theta to obtain his clothing. However, the Cylons captured Thane; he managed to reveal nothing of their intent.
To his credit, he took several Cylons with him by passing off a hand mine as a recording device that would tell the Cylons all they needed to know about the Fleet. (Gun on Ice Planet Zero)
