Tomas Vergis is a Tauron computer scientist and competitor of Daniel Graystone. Like Daniel, he leads his own computer and robotics corporation, the Vergis Corporation.

After his daughter's death in a suicide bombing, Daniel, with the help of Tauron attorney Joseph Adama, steal Vergis's technology, a meta-cognitive processor (MCP) in order to revive their daughters in robotic bodies, thus creating the first Cylons. Vergis does not take legal action against Graystone or his company, although rumors and suspicions about the theft circulate within the Caprican Ministry of Defense (CAP: Caprica pilot).

Approximately a month and a half after the bombing, Vergis arrives on Caprica and personally confronts Graystone about the theft, informing him that two of his employees--close relatives and friends on Tauron--were murdered in the process. Soon afterward, he offers to buy the Caprica Buccaneers pyramid team from Graystone, reminding him that his company is short on cash and that an infusion of liquidity from the team's sale would give them time to resolve problems with U-87 development. The offer to buy the C-Bucs, however, is revealed to be the first step in a personal vendetta against Graystone for the theft and murders, to strip him of the things he loves and ultimately "tear up your dream."

During this trip, Vergis makes time for a public relations campaign, appearing as a guest on Backtalk with Baxter Sarno and surprising the audience with news that he will permanently relocate to Caprica and apply for Caprican citizenship (CAP: "Know Thy Enemy").

Some time later, Vergis visits Amanda Graystone, and tells her about the crimes and her husband's involvement in them ("Ghosts in the Machine"). After initially denying it, the information horrifies her and threatens both her marriage and her emotional stability.

Recognizing that the U-87 relies upon stolen technology and that Graystone Industries will be unable to meet its deadline for delivery of one hundred thousand copies of the robot, Colonel Sasha Patel formally offers Vergis the contract for U-87 production, plus rights to civilian applications (CAP: "End of Line").

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. Spoiler TV published a casting call for Vergis indicating that the character was to be introduced in the episode "Know Thy Enemy", which later proved accurate. 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.
