**Notes**:

* Contrarian: Lee Adama generally finds the underdog cause in any given situation and supports it, without necessarily understanding his own motives or how it may damage his relationships. This is a trait he inherited from his grandfather, lawyer Joseph Adama.
* Trusting: Though he’s been let down and disappointed by people more than once, Adama generally takes someone at his word and expects them to follow through.

**Description**: Lee “Apollo” Adama is the CAG aboard Galactica, leading a small group of overworked pilots whose missions might well determine the survival of the entire human race. He is likeable, friendly, and positive, but a subversive part to his personality causes him to choose unexpected sides in a conflict.

The oldest son in the Adama family, Apollo’s father is William Adama—a respected leader in the Colonial Fleet. He and his brother Zak were raised largely by their mother, Carolanne. Though a loving mother who taught her sons the value of intellectual freedom and self-analysis, she suffered from mood swings and tried for years to work through a drinking problem.

After graduating from college, Adama enlisted in the Colonial Reserves so he could attend flight school—largely because his father always said a real man wore the wings of a Viper pilot. His younger brother quickly followed in his footsteps, even more eager to win their father’s approval. Adama was convinced that his brother would wash out of flight school, as he had neither the talent nor the reflexes needed for flying. Apollo was attached to the flight school as a reservist, and struck a friendship with a flight instructor named Kara Thrace, Zak’s betrothed.

Adama was shocked when he learned that his brother was killed while flying a Viper on simple maneuvers, and immediately blamed his father for putting pressure on his sons to wear the uniform. He carried that anger until Thrace confessed she had passed Zak on his final flight exam even after the young recruit had demonstrated that he was unsuited for flying a Viper.

For two years, Apollo drifted. He performed his duties and was promoted to Captain, but considered leaving the Colonial Fleet all together. Engaged to be married and an expectant father, one of his last assignments was to attend the decommissioning ceremony of his father’s ship, the Battlestar Galactica. When the Cylons attacked and the very fate of the human race was on the line, Apollo was able to push aside thoughts of his mother, fiancée, and unborn child. Still, he thinks and dreams of them.

Lee Adama leads his pilots to the best of his ability and serves as an advisor to President Laura Roslin. She affectionately calls him “Captain Apollo.” He tries to stay focused on work because he is prone to guilty feelings over perceived mistakes. Adama has limited time and resources for his favorite hobby, cooking, because of rationing within the fleet. He is torn between duty to the military and belief in civilian law, something that he revisits with each conflict between President Roslin and his father.
