Iphigenia
| |||||
Lieutenant Iphigenia is the 21-year-old daughter of Commander Magus and sister of Paulus. She and "Husker" Adama are lovers; with her blonde hair and freckles, Iphi is described as looking like Adama's ideal counterpart.
Iphi was born in the city of Petaville on Caprica. An attractive and dynamic woman, Iphigenia usually went by her nickname ‘Iphi’. A fighter pilot aboard Galactica, she serves under the direct command of Magus, her father. Her older brother Paulus also flies as a pilot in Blue Wing. A military ‘brat’, she has a wild streak and a flippant sense of humor that seem at odds with her uncanny skills as a Viper pilot; Iphigenia frequently flirts with other male flyers, but in the thick of battle she is all business.
She prefers carefully-planned strategic attacks to tactical strikes, and knows that it will be successful strategies, and not random acts of pilot bravery, that would win the Cylon War for the Colonials. As such, she is at odds with her squadmate Garris Cain.
Iphi is killed in battle with Cylon forces.
Iphigenia's callsign was 'Angel' and her Viper designation was Blue Two.
Notes[edit]
- This character is part of a separate continuity that mixes elements from the Re-imagined Series and Original Series as well as unique material. It is not a canonical item in either series.
- In the Original Series, Commander Adama had married Ila. In the Re-imagined Series, the character of William Adama married Caroline and, later, Anne.
- Iphigenia was voiced in the game by actress Kristanna Loken. Loken had a starring role in the feature film, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, where she portrays a robot agent who, similarly to Humanoid Cylons in the Re-imagined Series, is a machine soldier in a war between humanity and a genocidal machine intelligence.
