Jacob Cantrell is Sagittaron's representative to the Quorum of Twelve following the Second Exodus circa 4 ACH (2003BYR), a position formerly (albeit briefly) held by Tom Zarek circa 1 ACH (2000BYR).
Second Exodus
When Roslin goes missing during her visit to a Cylon basestar that unexpectedly jumps away, the Quorum squabbles over her successor. Cantrell pointedly asks Lee "Apollo" Adama whether Admiral William Adama would support Tom Zarek or the government if he were to become president. After some hesitation Adama replies that he wouldn't, leading to more shouting (TRS: "Sine Qua Non").
Following the discovery and departure from Earth, Roslin considers Cantrell the key to persuading the Quorum in favor of an alliance with the rebel Cylons, but he is one of the strongest voices against the plan (TRS: "A Disquiet Follows My Soul").
Later, after Lieutenant Felix Gaeta and Zarek stage a mutiny aboard Galactica, Zarek turns to the Quorum for support sans Lee "Apollo" Adama, who remains at large aboard Galactica. The Quorum rebukes Zarek and Cantrell orders him to leave, pointedly addressing Zarek as the Vice President. Zarek calmly leaves the room and orders the marines outside the door to execute all Quorum members present (TRS: "Blood on the Scales").
Cantrell is Sagittaron's last Quorum representative, as the Quorum of Twelve is replaced by the Quorum of Ships' Captains (TRS: "No Exit").
