Bryn Magus
From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide
Bryn Magus was the commander of the battlestar Galactica, father of Iphigenia and Paulus, and foster-father to William Adama. Some time prior to the Cylon War, Adama's father often saved Magus' life; when Adama was orphaned, Magus welcomed him onboard the Galactica.
After the sneak attack at the start of the War, Magus and other Colonials spent a year in a Cylon prison camp before being liberated by the battlestar Perseus.
In some write-ups of the game, his name is written as "Magnus" (Latin for "great") but this is a mistake, as in the game he is clearly called Magus.
