John (TOS)

"John" is the assumed name of a Seraph who took served as the guide of Cpt. Apollo and Lt. Starbuck. 
== Biography ==
The Ship of Lights was in range of both Terra and the Galactican refugee fleet when it determined a high likelihood of a catastrophic war brewing. Cpt. Apollo was conscripted and sent out on a mission to prevent the war starting, a necessary evil the Seraphs felt they had to allow, normally not working with beings they deemed primitive. John served as the liaison between Apollo and the other Seraphs, and provided him with both technology and crucial information. To speed up their mission, Apollo was protected by a white aura which confounded the minds of Terrans, who would see him as the spitting image of the respected Western Nationalist officer, Col. Charlie Watts, with the drawback being he was not to reveal his Galactican identity. John kept close by, giving him enough information to go on, like the names of people Co. Watts would have been intimate with to avoid suspicion. To do so, John was himself protected by advanced technology that made him inaudible and invisible to all but Apollo and, soon after, Lt. Starbuck.
== Further notes ==
* John would go on to be the inspiration of the Messengers in the reimagined Battlestar Galactica series, who are also invisible to all but a select few.
