Tomas Vergis is a Tauron computer scientist residing on Caprica. He is a competitor of Daniel Graystone and an ex-lover of his wife, Amanda Graystone.
After his daughter's death in a suicide bombing, Daniel Graystone, with the help of Tauron attorney Joseph Adama, steal Vergis's technology in order to revive their daughters in robotic bodies, thus creating the first Cylons (Caprica).
Notes
- Although reported in various sites that Vergis would be played by Roger R. Cross, he is absent in both the finished pilot and the accompanying deleted scenes. There has even been a casting call for the character for the episode "Know Thy Enemy"[1]. However, the casting of Roger Cross seem to have been legitimate as can be viewed on Cross's official (albeit outdated) site. There was even a still from the pilot featuring Vergis as portrayed by Cross displayed at Syfy's official Caprica gallery, but has since been removed.[2] [3]
