Lord Baltar is a principal character in the Battlestar Galactica Timeline 1 Universe. He debuted in Battlestar Galactica 101, Saga of a Star World in 1978.

History
As a member of the Quorum of the Twelve, Lord Baltar plotted in secret to use the Cylons as his personal army against the rest of humanity so he could rule the colonies. The Cylons attacked without him, but eventually capture Baltar so they can use him in further attacks against the Battlestar Galactica. Eventually, Baltar surrenders himself to the Galactica and Commander Adama which leads to a truce between them.

Danaverse Connection
In a slightly altered version of this timeline, Baltar was beheaded by the Imperial Leader of the Cylons. As for this timeline, Batlar's place, if any in the Crisis War is not yet clear.
