BATTLESTAR GALACTICA - CHARACTERS
WILLIAM ADAMA Edward James Olmos
The aging commander of the Battlestar Galactica, Adama is a relaxed and seasoned veteran. He
is solitary, and old enough to have fought in the first war against the Cylons. After the
Cylons wipe out all the fleet's other battlestars, Adama finds himself in command of the
fleet, hungry to avenge the death of billions of humans -- until the new President orders him
to flee into deep space with the survivors.
Adama is estranged from his son Lee, who blames him for the
death of his brother Zak.
