Barton
Name: Barton
Position: Flight Sergeant, Battlestar Galactica
Portrayed By: W.K. Stratton
Biography
Flight Sergeant Ortega's wingman and Triad partner, although he made it definitely clear that Ortega was never a friend of his. Appearing to be a generally cordial Warrior to hang around with, he was also manipulative in the sort of way to choose Ortega as "he wins" in Triad.
After Ortega's termination, Apollo and Boomer set out to clear Starbuck's name from the charge, and Barton was their prime person to question. Barton, who apparently hadn't cared all that much for the smug pilot that died, revealed that he hung around a particular pyramid dealer on the Rising Star; as well as commented on the fact that Ortega feared only one person -- a man named Karibdis. However, he also revealed that there were many other people that Ortega irritated enough to start fights.
Still, Barton's information was instrumental in finding Karibdis and freeing Starbuck of the charge. (Murder on the Rising Star)
