Williams

Williams is a financial aide to Professor Johnson, an archaeologist who believes that artifacts he's uncovered may lead directly to Cleopatra's tomb.
Williams runs into Cleopatra herself in California's Museum of History as she is being pursued by Dillon. He has Dillon taken away under guard, though he later escapes, while conversing with her about Johnson's artifacts, particularly her ability to decode the hieroglyphics. 
He invites Cleopatra to a party held to raise funds for another expedition, verifying that the necklace is genuine, but believing Cleopatra to be a loony woman. Williams believes she should be put under lock and key to protect her from the Jaffe expedition, which he believes Dillon to be a member. 
He is irritated when Xaviar takes off with Cleopatra, with Troy, Dillon, and Jamie Hamilton at Xaviar's heels, and reiterates his belief that they must be part of the Jaffe expedition (The Day They Kidnapped Cleopatra, unproduced script).

Willie Griffin

Willy Griffin is a young boy on Earth who discovers Troy and Dillon's Vipers while playing with his dog, Skipper .
Griffin runs back and reports the sighting to his parents just as dinner is being served, but is dismissed as another of the child's tall tales out of fear that his impressionable sister may believe it out of hand. In return for cleaning up the dirt he tracked in, Griffin and his father venture into the field later that night, where this tale is confirmed. Upon bringing a local sheriff out to the field to confirm the sighting, they just miss the Vipers launching, in response to the crisis condition alert issued by Commander Adama . 
== Vindication ==
After initially being ridiculed by other children led by his bully Tucker, Griffin rediscovers the ships in the field following Troy and Dillon's return from their adventures in Earth's past. Griffin also discovers a third Viper belonging to the Colonials' adversary, Xaviar. 
The ships are being hauled away by the United States Air Force when Troy and Dillon return from dropping off Jamie Hamilton. While Griffin was told by an Air Force Colonel where they were going, he was told to keep it secret; Troy and Dillon operate on the belief that Griffin is aware and follow him to his school. Ultimately, they convince Griffin to disclose information on the whereabouts of their ships in exchange for a loan of one of their wrist computrons. Griffin soon uses the wrist computron to get revenge on Tucker, a local bully, by using the invisibility field to embarrass him. After returning the wrist computron, he informs the Warriors of the Vipers' location .

Xam

Xam is 's flight engineer aboard .
Starbuck credits Xam with continually repairing and maintaining his , regardless of what Starbuck's subjects the craft to. In return, Starbuck trains Xam on his laser pistol marksmanship ().
== Psionic Awakening ==
In , following the return from a recon patrol into an unnamed quantum storm zone, Starbuck's Viper is charged with high-stating energon fields—otherwise known as void lightning—and Xam is struck. Unbeknownst to anyone at that time, this activates and enhances latent psionic abilities to those of a delta-class telepath ( & , ).
Xam rectifies the power-dead issues in the launch bays, which had been caused by the discharge of void lightning from Red Flight's Vipers ().
Xam's recurring dreams of are able to manifest, affecting a great many people in the Fleet due to the energies of the Storm Zone, which some (including ) believe without question ( — ).
After entering the Storm Zone and scanning a mysterious artifact, directs and Starbuck to Xam's hab-pod, #13. It is there that they discover Xam's psionic potential, and he is remanded to the evaluation under Doctor . 
Xam, uncertain about what is real, uses his psionic powers to ward off a pursuing Cylon task force by projecting an overwhelming force of s within the storm. The Cylons retreat, but Xam's mind is burned out in the process, which affects Starbuck greatly (). 
For the next seven yahren, Xam receives daily visitations by Starbuck, but remains in a vegetative state, kept alive only by life-supporting equipment under the ministrations of Doctor (). 
== Divinity and the Death of a Hero ==
Unbeknownst to the Fleet, Xam's telepathy allows Countess Sephoni aboard the lost Taurella to hone in on the Fleet, despite not being able to fully catch up to the convoy. In turn, Xam is able to hone in on Sephoni in and divines Taurella's coordinates, recording them on a touch-screen digital pad in his tube, thus allowing Major to lead a flight to investigate and confirm Taurella's existence, reuniting the ship and her crew with the Fleet (). 
After Sephoni's divination of Earth's location, a recon flight lead by Major Apollo happens upon a dead moon, and the first encounter with a super basestar and its swarms of (). Despite all long-range scanner evidence to the contrary, Xam's divinity gives hope to Starbuck, Athena, and other pilots who mount a rescue for Apollo against Commander 's standing orders ( — ). 
After the super basestar launches its ambush of the Fleet, Apollo's fate is inexorably locked: he successfully destroys the super basestar, but is destroyed in the resulting massive detonation. Xam records this passing from his near-comatose state by repeatedly tapping out the word "GONE" on his touchpad ().

Xeno Fenner

Xeno Fenner is a foreman aboard Hitei Kan.
When his complaints about bad working conditions for the Hitei Kan's crew keep being ignored, Fenner calls for a work stoppage, stopping short of calling a strike.
To discuss a problem with fuel processing that is gravely hampering travel, Fenner is asked to a meeting with President Roslin. Fenner becomes frustrated that his prior meeting requests and pleas for worker needs and benefits are ignored while the Fleet's leadership will only summon him when fuel supplies are threatened. After quoting a passage from Gaius Baltar's underground book, which infuriates Roslin, Fenner is thrown in the brig.
Expecting this, Fenner had ordered his crew to sabotage the refinery machines by removing the pressure seals, should he not return.
After some heated persuasion by Chief Tyrol, who visits him in the brig, Fenner gives out the location of the pressure seals, allowing production to resume. Fenner is then released from his cell and returns to his foreman duties. Fenner's experience with a balky conveyor comes in handy later on, but a new worker is injured in the repair, prompting Tyrol to re-assume his role as a union leader and stop refinery work with less subtlety than Fenner .
After the discovery of Earth and the assassination of the Quorum of Twelve, Fenner is appointed as Hitei Kan representative to the new Quorum and begins the motion to strip of her parts and disperse them among .
==== Behind the Scenes ====
*In the credits of "Islanded in a Stream of Stars," Fenner is listed as a captain. This may indicate that he became captain after the events of "A Disquiet Follows My Soul" when Hitei Kan crew mutinied over the installation of Cylon FTL drives on their ship, with either the original captain being the leader of the mutiny or had been injured and/or killed by others, thus necessitating Fenner's promotion.

Yahren

A yahren is a Colonial measurement of time, analogous to an Earth year. The plural form is usually the same as the singular, "yahren", although "yahrens" is also used for the Colonial equivalent of "years" in some episodes.
==Notes==
* Within some fan circles, a yahren is considered to be around two-thirds (2/3) the length of an Earth year, thus helping to explain the relative longevity of Colonial people compared to Terran humans; in "War of the Gods, Part II", claims that the average human lifespan, "Cylons permitting," is about 200 yahren. This reasoning is picked up in Richard Hatch's sequel novels. The glossary of terms in the first novel, Armaggedon, reads "yahren--equivalent to a year; two hundred fifty days."
*Yahren might be based on the German word Jahren, which is pronounced the same, though it means "Years." Jahr would be the singular form.
* The original script for Greetings From Earth has a key that says a centon is a minute, a centar is an hour, a secton is a week, and a yahren is a year.
==Usage in the Re-imagined Series ==
* In the Re-imagined Series, time appears to be measured by the Colonials as is done on Earth with the term year. Since a year is considered the time it takes for the real-world Earth to revolve once around the sun, the use of "year" is confusing, given that the Twelve Colonies consist of several Earth-type worlds that may orbit a sun or series of suns, or even exist in adjacent solar systems and so have revolution times that may differ dramatically. The Fleet stays on New Caprica for 380 "days" before the Cylon fleet arrives, and this is deemed to be approximately a year.
* Curiously, a brief mention of "yahren" appears in the documents visible at Armistice Station in the Miniseries. This should be treated as an homage to the Original Series, and not be taken too seriously, as the prop department has produced errors in some other documents shown on screen.
