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