Biography

Adar is President of the Colonies, leader of the Quorum at the time of the decimation of the Twelve Colonies of Man, as well as commander of battlestar Atlantia.

Lord Baltar deceives him into embracing the façade of a forthcoming peace with the Cylon Empire. Adar holds back his guard despite repeated warnings from Commander Adama on Galactica, who warns of possible Cylon treachery. As a result, only Galactica prepared sufficiently to fight off a massive Cylon Raider force that attacks the unprepared Colonial fleet. Adar laments, too late, on the horrific discovery that the peace effort was all a front for the Cylon's final strike against humanity.

Adar perishes when Cylon Raiders attack the unprepared Atlantia at Cimtar, destroying battlestar Atlantia and all other battlestars, save Galactica (Saga of a Star World).

Notes

• The word "Adar" comes from the name of the sixth month of the Hebrew year.

• Unlike Adar's Re-imagined Series counterpart, Adar's role as President of the Colonies is not refilled by his death by any character in the Original Series.

Re-imagined Series definition: a nickname used as a substitute for an aviator's given name in wireless communications and in conversation
