Adar (TOS)

President Adar was the last President over the Council of the Twelve which governed the Twelve Colonies of Man and, like many before him, led the colonies through the Thousand Yahren War against the Cylon Alliance. President Adar was manipulated over time by Count Baltar, a man secretly working to undermine the colonies on behalf of the Alliance for his own ends. At Count Baltar's insistence, President Adar led a peace delegation to Cimtar to meet with Cylon representatives to discuss an end to hostilities, bringing with him the last remaining Battlestars of their fleet, with himself onboard Atlantia. Under Count Baltar's advise, he refused to launch patrol Vipers in case it be mistaken as a sign of hostility; when it became clear the fleet had fallen into an ambush, the fleet sans Galactica were taken by surprise and were unable to launch more than a handful of Vipers. President Adar then suffered a complete breakdown and was unable to give orders to the ship commanders. He was soon after killed when a Raider "death squadron" crashed and exploded on the side of Atlantia and within its landing bay, causing itself to explode.Saga of a Star World.
