Billy Keikeya

Billy Keikeya is a young, fairly-good looking member of Laura Roslin's staff. Possibly an intern, given his relative youth, he is nevertheless gifted and capable - and a lot more insightful than people might otherwise credit.

As a result of his abilities, he is selected by Roslin to accompany her to the decommissioning ceremonies for the Battlestar Galactica. During this time, he recognises that not only is Roslin ill, she is in fact suffering from cancer.

Following the loss of President Adar's cabinet, Roslin is sworn-in as President, and Billy dfinds himself promoted to the position of her senior aide. One of his first tasks is to work with her to tally the number of survivors in the fleet (33), and establish records for the dead. Leter, he is directly engaged in attempts to get the 1,500 prisoners aboard the Astral Queen to help the fleet obtain water supplies (Bastille Day), after Galactica's water supplies are sabotaged.

Off-duty, Billy has struck up a friendship with Petty Officer Dualla, a member of the Galactica's command crew, which has recently blossomed into romance (Secrets and Lies).
