'''Abel''' is a third generation {{TOS|tylium}} miner whom {{alt|Baltar|TOS}} grooms as his assistant following the reclamation of [[Cygnus]] from the {{alt|Cylons|TOS}}.
'''Sela''' is the sole proprietor on [[Cygnus]] who oversees the {{TOS|tylium}} mine there.  


Abel met Baltar while both studied at the [[University of Picon]], and both strike up a friendship.  
Following the death of [[Baltar's mother|his wife]], he and {{alt|Baltar|TOS-DE}} reside on Cygnus, introducing Baltar to his first taste of wealth.  


Following the reclamation of Cygnus from the Cylons, Abel is tasked with finding new sources of tylium to sell during the [[Thousand-Yahren War]] in order to build up Baltar's tylium operations over the [[Cyrannus]] galaxy. Over the next ten [[yahren]], Abel does so while Baltar amasses his political power to mirror his financial acumen.  
After Baltar succumbs to his own lesser instincts by secreting a tylium nugget found in the mine tunnel, Sela's sensors detect this attempt at thievery and becomes severely displeased that his own blood would steal from him. Exacting punishment, Sela whips Baltar's back permanently scarring the young child both emotionally and physically. He further tells Baltar that he and [[Merab]] killed a worker who tried stealing from them, and justifies his punishment of Baltar thusly, "You're man enough to steal. Be man enough to pay for it."


A half-yahren after Baltar secures a survey contract from [[Sire]] [[Damaris]], Abel later discovers the planet {{alt|Carillon}}, summoning Baltar to arrive at Carillon in secret. It is this mistake that leads to Abel's death by Baltar's hands, as Abel proves that Carillon has the largest deposits in the known galaxy. Despite Baltar's proselytizing and his revelation of selling tylium to the Cylons, Abel's ethics prevent him from going along with hiding the discovery from the {{alt|Quorum of Twelve}}, and Baltar pushes him over a cliff to his death ({{comics|annual2014}}).  
Sela and Baltar remain on Cygnus, even after the {{alt|Cylons|TOS}} [[Invasion of Cygnus|invade it]] for the tylium deposits. Both he and his son, along with various tylium miners formerly under his employ, are kept alive as part of the human workforce.  
 
Unbeknownst to Sela, Baltar overhears Sela and his fellow compatriot's plan to destroy the tylium mine through the use of [[radiation charge]]s, and the youth exacts his revenge by reporting the sabotage attempt to the {{alt|Centurion|TOS}} [[Commandant]]. With this information confirmed by the Commandant's Centurions, Sela and his compatriots are executed while Baltar is freed ({{comics|annual2014}}).

Sela is the sole proprietor on Cygnus who oversees the tylium mine there.

Following the death of his wife, he and Baltar reside on Cygnus, introducing Baltar to his first taste of wealth.

After Baltar succumbs to his own lesser instincts by secreting a tylium nugget found in the mine tunnel, Sela's sensors detect this attempt at thievery and becomes severely displeased that his own blood would steal from him. Exacting punishment, Sela whips Baltar's back permanently scarring the young child both emotionally and physically. He further tells Baltar that he and Merab killed a worker who tried stealing from them, and justifies his punishment of Baltar thusly, "You're man enough to steal. Be man enough to pay for it."

Sela and Baltar remain on Cygnus, even after the Cylons invade it for the tylium deposits. Both he and his son, along with various tylium miners formerly under his employ, are kept alive as part of the human workforce.

Unbeknownst to Sela, Baltar overhears Sela and his fellow compatriot's plan to destroy the tylium mine through the use of radiation charges, and the youth exacts his revenge by reporting the sabotage attempt to the Centurion Commandant. With this information confirmed by the Commandant's Centurions, Sela and his compatriots are executed while Baltar is freed (Battlestar Galactica Annual 2014).
