Fleet Copy

The first copy of this model encountered poses as a Colonial priest named Brother Cavil. He provides counsel for Chief Tyrol (Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I) after Tyrol's maddened attack against Cally. Cavil identifies the source of Tyrol's anxiety as arising from the fear that he could be a Cylon sleeper agent.

A somewhat eccentric figure, Cavil is a surprisingly harsh critic of prayer for a priest, but claims to have been preaching "longer than you [Tyrol] have been sucking down oxygen" (Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I).

Despite his unconventional view of prayer, he prays with Laura Roslin for her re-election to the presidency to be successful (Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II).

Caprica Copy

A second copy of this model approaches the Caprica SAR team, telling them that the Cylons had left the Colonies. What he did not tell them — until Tyrol blew his cover upon his arrival at Galactica — was that he was a Cylon.

Due to this copy's discovery, the Fleet copy was arrested as well and thrown in Galactica's brig. Laura Roslin had ordered them to be spaced, after Caprica-Cavil informed her and Admiral Adama that the Cylons had made two mistakes: one the attack on the Colonies and the pursuit of the Fleet (Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II). It is unknown whether or not the copies were executed.

Like his Fleet counterpart, the Caprica copy also expresses doubt in the active involvement of divine forces in the real world, although he focuses his contempt on the Cylon religion. Based on his conversation with the Fleet copy, this viewpoint appears to be shared across the entire model.
