Notes
- John Cavil was portrayed by actor Dean Stockwell and featured in the rebooted Battlestar Galactica.
- In an interview with writer Ryan Mottesheard in the Chicago Tribune it was said that, "John/Cavil is the only one who knows the Final Five because he corrupted the programming of the other six models to never speak of the Final Five or search for their identities. Obviously, if they did, then his little house of cards topples, which is why he boxed D'Anna."
