Baltar is easily the most hated
man alive. In the beginning he served as an
emissary for peace who helped broker an agreement
for a ceasefire between the robotic Cylons, and
humanity. Baltar was promised that his homeworld
would be spared if he convinced humanity to sign
the treaty. But Baltar was a pawn used to trick
his own people and all of humanity into allowing
their own near annihilation. After this great
holocaust, Baltar decided to serve as a Cylon
commander poised to destroy what was left of his
human brethren spread throughout the cosmos. Baltar
thinks his human focus on things gives his an
advantage in dealing with human adversaries that
Cylon robotic intelligence does not allow for. In
reality his cold ability to take calculated loss
and inflict calculated pain puts him on a more
ruthless level than even the Cylons. Driven by
ego and a burning desire to outwit Commander Adama of the
Battlestar Galactica, Baltar schemes, tracks, and
attacks a fleeing human fleet in space not just
for war but for sport.
After being captured by colonial forces, the
devil himself known as Count
Iblis gives personal comfort to Baltar whom
he treats as a friend. This goes to show just how
legendary Baltar's evil is among his own people,
in space, and even in hell.
