Val Chambers is the Caprican Minister of Defense in 42YR (58 BCH).
Despite being aided in his ascension to power by the Ha'la'tha, he dislikes Taurons and, upon obtaining the role of Minister of Defense, decides to use his power to commence an aggressive and direct investigation the activities of the Ha'la'tha. The Guatrau requests that Joseph Adama approach Chambers with the intent on dissuading him from pursuing the Ha'la'tha. Despite reluctance to do so, Adama later agrees, but fails to obtain anything other than Chambers' contempt.
As a result of this rebuke, Chambers is later ritualistically murdered in his home by Sam Adama, and Chambers is succeeded by Joan Leyte (CAP: "Pilot").
Notes
- Chambers' cut-corner trifocal glasses are likely a nod to Blade Runner's Tyrell, whose reliance on these glasses is seen as "a reflection of his reliance on technology for his power and his myopic vision." Like that character, Chambers is later murdered by those who assisted in his ascension to power.
