| Bio: |  It's the middle of S4. Lee has just stepped down as interim President with the return of Laura Roslin but in order to gain the release of his people including her and his father from a faction of the Cylons he has made an agreement with them to make the final leg of their journey in search of Earth together. They have just found Earth which they hoped would be their salvation but on landing find an apocalyptic wasteland. Lee as well as everyone else is devastated right now. You can see that on his face in the picture above. Lee's mother Carolanne was pregnant with Lee before she and William Adama married so it's possible the marriage was a loveless one. Lee's father was in the military so often away and in general neglected Lee and his younger brother Zak. Yet William Adama still drilled into them the axiom that a man wasn't a man until he wore the wings of a viper (space fighter) pilot. Lee's parents divorced (most probably when Lee was in his early teens) and his mother's subsequent decent into alcoholism, if not already evident, left Lee in charge of the household and a shield for his brother. He definitely suffered emotional if not physical abuse during this period. While probably a victim both of expectation to match the performance of his war hero father and charges of success due to nepotism Lee still did well enough in his initial military training to attend War College and be promoted early to Captain. Sometime prior to the latter Lee argued with his father on his younger brother's suitability for service as a pilot. Lee lost that argument and Zak entered pilot training. Sometime during Zak's pilot training Zak became engaged to Kara Thrace who at the time was a flight instructor. It's unclear at what time Lee first met Kara but it appears this was after she met Zak. The two probably experienced an immediate attraction for one another but were unable to pursue it due to her relationship with Zak. Lee's assessment of Zak's unsuitability as a Viper pilot was borne out when Zak failed his flight assessment but Kara's emotional involvement led to her passing him. This soon resulted in Zak's death in a flight accident. Kara's actions were unknown to Lee who, bereft at the loss of his brother, accused his father of killing Zak. This led to their estrangement. Lee went to the Atlantia while a devastated Kara was offered assignment on her perspective father-in-law's ship the Galactica. Two years later the Galactica was set for decommissioning and Lee reluctantly reported under orders to take part in a ceremonial fly-by. The still estranged Adama's barely made it through the publicity events and renewed their argument over Zak's death. While Lee was escorting the spaceliner carrying the Secretary of Education back to their planet the Cylons, who had not been heard from in forty years, attacked. Lee eventually returned to the Galactica and though extremely young and inexperienced was thrown into the role of Commander of the Air Group (CAG). He filled this role while rebuilding his relationship with his father and forming a stronger bond with Kara. During this time Kara met and eventually rescued Sam Anders while Lee grew closer to Anastasia Dualla (Dee). Although in love with each other Kara and Lee had many issues, including her previous engagement to his brother and they eventually married Sam and Dee. They were soon involved in a torrid affair with each other though. During this time he became Commander of the battlestar Pegasus. He lost that ship in a fight to rescue many of the survivors of the original Cylon attacks from an occupation of a new planet they had settled. Lee returned to the rank of Major and service as CAG. Following Kara's apparent death he left the military to defend Gaius Baltar who was accused as a traitor for collaborating with the Cylons while President during the occupation of New Caprica. When Kara returned two months after her disappearance, claiming to have knowledge of the route to Earth, Lee decided to remain a civilian and was offered a seat on the Colonial Quorum (legislative body). It was from here that he was appointed interim President following Laura Roslin's "kidnapping" while negotiating with the Cylons. At heart Lee is a good character who believes in justice and doing the right thing. However this has not kept him from doing questionable things when he believes it's right or when required by expediency. At Baltar's trial he characterized himself as guilty of many crimes. His "crimes" are: Prior to the beginning of the war Lee impregnated his girlfriend Gianne. When she told him he told her that he wasn't ready to be a father. Stunned and upset she ran from him. Although he called out to her he never did try to find her again and presumably both Gianne and his unborn or infant child died in the Cylon attacks. At the beginning of the war, when Lee was aboard Colonial One with newly sworn in President Roslin, a Cylon raider popped in and out while Roslin was organizing the civilian move from non-FTL ships to FTL ships, Lee recommended that they leave the non-FTL ships in order to save himself and the ships with FTL. Shortly thereafter, when the Cylons were making attacks every 33 minutes, a passenger liner the Olympic Carrier disappeared. After a period of more than 33 minutes it reappeared with evidence of a nuclear weapon onboard and headed for the Galactica. With the ship not responding to hails Commander Adama ordered it be shot down. Although apparently aware that there were as many as 1300 civilian passengers still onboard and urged by his wingman Starbuck (Kara Thrace) not to act, Lee shot down the spaceliner. Lee was sent to a prison transport to negotiate for prisoners to assist with the obtaining of water from ice after a sabotage caused Galatica to lose it's reserves. He was overpowered by the prisoners but was eventually able to gain the upper hand. A marine sniper team led by Starbuck had boarded the ship with Starbuck to act as a sniper and kill the leader of the prisoners Tom Zarek. Lee saw the laser target mark and pushed Zarek out of the line of fire. He then negotiated to get the needed workers by leaving the prisoners in control of the transport much to Roslin's displeasure. After Commander Adama and President Roslin had a disagreement the Commander decided to terminate her Presidency. Lee was a member of the boarding party sent to Colonial One to arrest her under the command of Galactica's XO Col Saul Tigh. In the middle of the confrontation Lee realized that this act jeopardized democracy and drew his gun on Col Tigh. Unwilling to permit bloodshed Roslin capitulated and she and Lee were taken into custody. On return to the ship Lee was taken to the CIC where he witnessed an assassination attempt that left his father incapacitated. With Col Tigh in charge Lee gave his parole so that he could continue to do his CAG duties stating he would not suborn support for Roslin. However, as Tigh's leadership faltered Lee organized an escape for himself and Roslin. They were later tracked down by his recovered father and things returned to the status quo. When the battlestar Pegasus arrives and Admiral Cain takes over the fleet. Apollo and Starbuck are transferred there. Lee is rebuffed when he suggests to Pegasus' CAG the use of a stealth fighter built by Galactica's crew for a recon mission. He nevertheless provides the camera to Kara and sends her off to retrieve the fighter and fly the mission. Lee is demoted to Lieutenant as punishment but Kara gets promoted to CAG for her audacity in getting the needed recon photos. Sent by the President and his father to investigate the thriving black market Lee shoots and kills the boss when he can not get him to agree to terms and negotiates the deal with the remaining henchmen. Lee's ongoing liaison with a prostitute is also revealed here, but when he wants to take her back with him she rebuffs him. Despite Kara marrying Sam Anders and Lee marrying Anastasia Dualla (Dee) the two are soon engaged in a torrid affair. During Baltar's trial Lee gets Roslin to admit to taking a hallucinogenic drug and that the cancer she was using it for has reoccurred thereby casting doubt on her competency and testimony. | |||||||||
