Colonel Saul Tigh
Of all the characters on BattleStar Galactica the most interesting is Colonel Saul Tigh. He is later revealed to be one of the final five Cylons but he still has a massive hatred for Cylons. He may have even hated the Cylons more after he found out he was one of them. He is a hardliner to the core and everyone tends to hate him. He is the balance to Admiral Adama; while Adama is stern he isn’t seen as cruel like Tigh is. Unlike Dr. Gaius Baltar, Colonel Tigh does not need to check in to a laser hair removal Birmingham clinic (as he has very little hair).
Colonel Tigh is very indecisive on the show. This is because Admiral Adama has always been there making most of the decisions whereas Saul was the one who makes sure they are carried out. When things get out of control Tigh is the one who declares Marshall Law. He doesn’t have the presence or strength of command that Adama has. Just because someone is feared as a leader doesn’t mean that they can maintain control.
He has little care for the President or the decisions she makes. They come from two different points of view and never saw eye to eye. Though he agreed with the decision to flee from the Cylons and find Earth he had a deep hatred for the Cylons and wanted retaliation.
We see Saul Tigh go through some good times and some bad times. He is a much darker character than Admiral Adama who is seen as the hero. He is very dedicated to the cause of humanity; he was so fanatical that he poisons his own wife to help the Cylons. His character really adds a lot of tension and drama to the series.
