Baltar is a fictional character in the Battlestar Galactica
universe who becomes a traitor to the human race.

Original continuity

In the original 1978 Battlestar Galactica movie and television series, Count Baltar was a leading antagonist character who betrayed the human race to its enemy, the robot race of Cylons. Faced with execution by the Cylons following the successful attack on the humans, Baltar convinces them to let him live so he may be permitted to pursue the surviving humans.

Count Baltar was played by John Colicos.

New continuity

In the 2003 Battlestar Galactica miniseries, and 2004+ TV series, Gaius Baltar is a brilliant scientist who is a key player in the Twelve Colonies' defense research.

Gaius is accompanied by the Cylon model Number Six, of which only he can see. The reason why she appears to him is not yet clear, but a computer chip implant has been ruled out. It's also been confirmed that this Six is not the same model as the one he fell in love with on Caprica, as previously believed.

Gaius also exists inside the mind of the same Six model he fell in love with, but as a completely separate entity.

Dr. Baltar eventually becomes Vice President of the Colonies, then later assumes the Presidency after the first Post-War election, his first executive order being a move to settle on New Caprica. He surrenders the colonies over to Six one year later during the Cylon occupation.

The role of Dr. Gaius Baltar is played by James Callis.
