He is later referred to by [[Jack Fisk]] in a conversation with Colonel [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]].

According to Fisk, Belzen was a longtime friend of Admiral Cain ([[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]).
These events are later told to Colonel [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]] by Fisk. Although Fisk later says that he has been lying, Tigh remains convinced that he has been telling the truth ("[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]", "[[Razor]]").

Jurgen Belzen was Admiral Helena Cain's long-time executive officer on Pegasus and close friends with her.

When the battlestar puts in for a lengthy overall at the Scorpion Fleet Shipyards, he plans to go paragliding on Scorpia. After the Cylon attack on the Twelve Colonies Pegasus conducts and attack on what is believed to be a small Cylon communications relay, but turns out to be a large staging area. When the Cylons jump in 15 squadrons of Raiders to close an apparent trap, Cain orders to launch all Viper squadrons. Not wanting to waste their outnumbered Vipers, Belzen urges Cain to reconsider and order a retreat. Cain views his persistence and official refusal to carry out her order as insubordination, and asks for his sidearm, shooting him in the head in front of the entire CIC crew. Pegasus eventually wins the battle, but with staggering losses.

These events are later told to Colonel Tigh by Fisk. Although Fisk later says that he has been lying, Tigh remains convinced that he has been telling the truth ("Pegasus", "Razor").
