Lucifer

Lucifer sits on the throne in Baltar's absence.

Lucifer is the Cylon IL-series attached to Baltar, who is assigned to seek out Galactica's Fleet and destroy them. He initially presumes that he will learn much from the Human who betrayed his own race (Saga of a Star World).

Lucifer grows impatient with Baltar's games very quickly, and seizes command of the basestar when Baltar goes to Kobol to try to lure the Colonials with promises of peace. He orders an attack on the colonial forces, inadvertently freeing Adama, Apollo, and Serina as well as trapping Baltar beneath a fallen stone (Lost Planet of the Gods, Part II).

Lucifer has clear and present distrust of Specter, and attempts to convince Baltar of the problems Specter has (The Young Lords).

Notes

Lucifer is named after the fallen angel depicted in texts of Roman Catholic and other origins, also another name for the Devil.

Though speculatory, all IL-series Cylons may be named after some form of demon in homage to Count Iblis, who originally had control over the Cylons.

Lucifer's "first" appearance was in the final scenes of "Saga of a Star World," in which Baltar was spared execution by the succeeding Imperious Leader, Barkol.
