Gina, Cylon Prisoner of War

Gina [ˈʤi.nə] is a Cylon agent who posed as a crewmember aboard the battlestar Pegasus (Resurrection Ship, Part I). She was identified by the crew of that ship and apprehended (killing seven crewmen in the process). She was incarcerated, brutally interrogated, tortured, and systematically gang-raped by many of the crew.

When Pegasus encounters Galactica and her fleet, Gina is examined by Gaius Baltar. He is heartbroken by her state, and resolves to help her in any way he can. He convinces Admiral Helena Cain to permit her to be fed, and recounts to Gina a story of his love for her copy on Caprica, before the Cylon attack (Pegasus).

Gina begs for Baltar to kill her and put an ultimate end to her suffering. When Baltar reminds her that she would just be revived in another Number Six body somewhere else, Gina reveals to him that it wouldn't happen if the unknown Cylon ship that Pegasus had been tracking is destroyed. She calls the vessel a Resurrection Ship, and that it was used to collect the consciousnesses of Cylons who die too far away from the Cylon homeworld and download them into new bodies. With no Resurrection Ship to download her consciousness, Gina would truly die if she were killed (Resurrection Ship, Part I).

With Baltar's help, Gina escapes from her cell, makes her way to Cain's quarters and shoots Cain with a pistol, killing her. Then, through as yet unexplained means, she manages to escape the Pegasus (Resurrection Ship, Part II).

Gina, the Demand Peace operative

After Laura Roslin finds herself at her death bed, the Cylon peace movement summons Baltar to Cloud 9. Here, Gina has assumed a leadership role within the peace movement, leaving her followers unaware of her Cylon nature. Gina attempts to convince Baltar that, upon assuming the presidency, he should go up against Adama -- and thus solidify the distrust for the military within the Fleet. After Roslin recovers from her cancer -- thanks to Baltar -- Gina is given the nuclear warhead earmarked for Baltar's research into a Cylon detector (Epiphanies).

Spoiler follows, highlight to read.
According to an interview with Ron D. Moore, Gina's storyline will not be resolved in "Resurrection Ship", but she will go on to form a sort of love triangle between Gina, Baltar, and Baltar's internal Six. Baltar's relationship with her will "continue throughout the season", so she will be around for some time.

Notes

Gina is a reference to some fans' derisive nickname for the Re-Imagined series, GINO - "Galactica In Name Only" (itself an allusion to RINO, a political term) (Source: "Pegasus" podcast)
