Chief Nedder was a non-commissioned officer in the Colonial Fleet who served with William Adama on his first ship before the First Cylon War.[1] He volunteered for duty aboard the Dreadnaught Invincible and was captured when the Cylons took control of the ship.[2]
For the next thirty years, Nedder was kept alive by the Cylons as the living, unwilling operator of Invincible. His body was dismantled and integrated with the ship's systems, with his living eye used to activate weapons and his handprint used to run the engines.[1] This practice, a perversion of a human-designed failsafe, was the central "secret" of the Cylons, revealing their ultimate dependence on the enslavement of their former masters.
When discovered by Adama, Nedder begs for death as a release from his torment. He is temporarily thwarted when Dr. Villem Fuest's self-sacrificing act to disable the ship is mistaken for an attack.[3] After these events, the Cylons plan to "improve" Nedder by using "replacement parts" taken from captured human scavengers.[4]
