| Leader of the [[Quorum of Twelve (TOS)|Quorum]] at the time of the decimation of the [[Twelve Colonies (TOS)|12 Colonies of Mankind]], as well as commander of the <i>[[Battlestar (TOS)|Battlestar]] [[Atlantia (TOS)|Atlantia]]</i>. Deceived by [[Baltar (TOS)|Lord Baltar]], he was maneuvered into embracing the façade of a forthcoming peace with the [[Cylon Empire]], as was everyone else. Adar held back on suggestions from [[Adama (TOS)|Adama]] concerning precautionary measures, which would have, at the very least, saved additional lives and military assets. However, Adar lamented upon the horrific discovery that the peace effort was all an affront to the Cylon's final strike against Humanity. Adar perished when [[Cylon (TOS)|Cylon]] [[Cylon Raider (TOS)|raiders]] managed to take the <i>Atlantia</i> by surprise at [[Cimtar (TOS)|Cimtar]], thus heralding its destruction.
