According to Ellen, they stopped at the Temple of Hopes on their way to the Colonies, a temple that was created by their ancestors, who prayed there and got a sign that led them to Earth.
By the time they got to the Colonies, the humans were already at war with the Centurions. The Centurions were already trying to make flesh bodies. They had created the Hybrids , but nothing that lived on its own, so the Five made a deal with them: they stop the war and the Five will help them create humanoid Cylons.
The Centurions agreed and signed the Cimtar Peace Accord with humanity. The Five and the Centurions then withdrew to a mobile space station called The Colony placed beyond the Armistice Line. The Five developed the eight humanoid models and gave them resurrection technology. They created Number One first and named him John. He was named after Ellen's father and also made in his image.
Number One later changed his name to Cavil as he hated the name John. Cavil helped the Five build the other seven humanoid models. Ellen was close to Number Seven Daniel and Cavil, out of jealousy, contaminated the amniotic fluid in which the Daniel copies were maturing and then corrupted the genetic formula.
This wiped out the copies permanently, and as Anders said of Daniel: "he died", indicating that the original Daniel was lost as well TRS : " No Exit ". Cavil rejected mercy. He had a twisted idea of morality and despised the Five for contaminating their creations with human weaknesses and Centurion religious ideals, so he turned on them.
He trapped them in a compartment and then he took the oxygen offline. Cavil boxed the Five at first but ultimately unboxed them and downloaded them into new bodies, blocking their true memories and implanting false ones, then introducing them one by one into the colonies. He introduced Saul first, not long after the war. And then Ellen. Cavil put the Five into the human population in order to truly show them what humans are like. He hoped that when they died and resurrected which restores their real memories they'd be ready to admit they were wrong.
The truth behind the music that triggered their knowledge of their true selves has yet to be revealed. Cavil erased all knowledge of their identities from his siblings and his was the only Cylon model that knew their identities afterwards, but he kept at least one new body for each of them to download into.
When Ellen was killed by Saul, she downloaded into a new body on a Resurrection Ship. With the destruction of the Hub , the Five are the only ones who know how to rebuild resurrection technology, but Ellen claims it would take all five working together to rebuild it and even then she's not sure they could do it TRS : " No Exit ".
When the attack on the Twelve Colonies happened, the Cavils prepared a new body for each of them aboard a Resurrection Ship sure that they couldn't survive what was coming and sure that they would download, regain their true memories and apologize for their views on the humans. When the attacks came, the Five managed to survive without dying and downloading to new bodies: Tyrol and Saul Tigh were aboard Galactica , Anders was in the mountains on Caprica doing some high-altitude survival training, there was a Simon there, but he was unaware of Anders's true nature, Tory was driving down a road in Delphi and was hit by a nuclear shockwave, but survived as her car protected her enough although she was injured and Ellen was in a bar on Picon with Cavil when it was hit by a nuclear shockwave.
The bar was destroyed and Ellen severly injured, however she survived and Cavil kept her that way as he felt she hadn't learned her lesson and still needed to. Cavil then personally escorted her onto a rescue Raptor and to Rising Star before planting himself as a clergyman on Galactica. Another Cavil infiltrated Samuel Anders 's resistance movement and delayed relaying the location to the other Cylons to see if Anders had changed.
Anders hadn't, but his views on humanity changed the Cavil, who was presumably boxed eventually for his beliefs TRS : " The Plan ". After Boomer helps Ellen escape from Cavil, the Five are finally reunited although Anders is pretty much brain dead except when he acts as a Hybrid for Galactica.
The Rebel Cylons decide that perhaps they should leave the Fleet for good now that they have all of the Five and leave it up to the Five to decide. Saul and Anders vote no, Tory and Tyrol vote yes and initaly Ellen is undecided. In order to spite her husband as she's angry at him for his relationship with Caprica Six and Caprica's pregnancy by him, she votes yes, but after Caprica Six miscarries, she changes her mind saying that humans and Cylons should be together and she only voted yes out of anger.
When Admiral Adama calls everyone to talk about the rescue mission for Hera Agathon, Ellen tells Tory they're both going, and although Tory initaly protests, Tyrol convinces her to go and all of the Final Five go on the rescue. Anders acts as Galactica's Hybrid on the mission while Ellen and Tory and monitor him. Tyrol and Saul later join them to put out a fire.
The Five offer to give Cavil back Resurrection if he agrees to let them take Hera and leave humanity alone forever. He agrees, and, using the datastream in Anders' tank, they combine the keys to Resurrection technology in their minds and start transmitting to the Colony, but a side-effect is that they see each other's memories at the same time. Tyrol learns from Foster's memories that she murdered Cally and he flies into a rage, breaks the Five's download to the Colony and strangles Foster and breaks her neck, killing her.
Later, the people of the Fleet have Anders fly Galactica and the other ships into the Sun, destroying the ships and himself. With the deaths of Anders and Foster, there are only three of the Final Five left alive, and there is little chance for Resurrection to be rebuilt as each of the Five had exclusive knowledge of some aspect of the technology.

Cavil then placed multiple models of the remaining seven humanoid Cylons as sleeper cells in the Twelve Colonies. One, a model Six Tricia Helfer and a firm believer in the Cylon's one true God, infiltrated the human defense mainframe by infiltrating the bedroom of scientific genius, and unrepentant horndog, Gaius Baltar James Callis.
The last 50, members of humanity, led by the Galactica , limped into the cosmos, looking for a fabled planet known as Earth — inhabited, so humanity's polytheistic scriptures say, by the lost 13th tribe of humans. The Cylons relentlessly pursue the human fleet, where several of the humanoid Cylon models were still hidden. Miraculously, all of the Final Five also managed to survive the Cylon attack, and they too ended up in the human fleet.
They got horizontal, and had a baby, Hera: The first human-Cylon hybrid. Outed as a Cylon, Athena ultimately won Adama's trust and joined the human fleet as a pilot. At a particularly grim time for humanity, Saul killed Ellen for being a Cylon sympathizer. Ironic, no? When she was resurrected, she remembered everything, and Cavil kept her captive on a Cylon Basestar. Meanwhile, Saul, Galen, Anders, and Tory eventually realized they were Cylons — thanks to an eerie version of ''All Along the Watchtower'' ringing through their heads — but they all kept it a secret.
When the human fleet finally found Earth, instead of an Eden, it was a wasteland unfit for any life, irradiated some 2, years previous in a massive nuclear holocaust. It was familiar territory, however, for the Final Five: Turns out, they are Earth's only survivors.
Yup, the 13th tribe of humanity were, in fact, all frakking toasters. With ''Battlestar Galactica: The Plan'' hitting DVD today, we've assembled this dossier detailing the Cylons' war on humanity to get everyone up to speed.
By Adam B. Save FB Tweet More. Pinterest Email Send Text Message. Before the Final Five Cylons had been revealed on Battlestar Galactica , Starbuck was a heavy potential favorite for a Cylon who didn't know that she was a Cylon.
But the show pulled off a pretty decent bait and switch by making her husband Sam an unknowing Cylon instead, and given his entire story arc so far, it was definitely a good and unexpected surprise that Sam was actually a Cylon all along. Obviously, the excitement behind the revelation of the Final Five was a massive mystery that slowly unraveled, and by the mere fact that Ellen Tigh was the last Cylon to be revealed as a part of the Final Five, her Cylon status was extremely memorable and iconic.
However, in comparison to some of the other members of the Final Five, she still wasn't quite as shocking or exciting, nor was she as much of an essential part of the overall story. Clearly in the war between humans and Cylons, the humans are meant to be the more sympathetic side for the audience. But making characters like the Chief into Cylons who were unaware that they were Cylons, and who had essentially gone through their very own extinction event as a result of their human enemies, made it much harder to write them off as one-dimensional villains.
Given the fact that there are very few human characters who were more instrumental or who seemed more sincere in the war against the Cylons than Saul Tigh , it's safe to say that the revelation that he was a member of the Final Five was a huge shock. He was one of the most flawed human characters in the series, so the fact that he wasn't even human made for a great twist.
Both of the significant versions of Sharon were two of the most important and interesting characters within the series , and the clueless human Sharon's journey of Cylon self-discovery as well as the knowledgeable Sharon's realization that she wanted to be on the side of the humans were two of the best parallel storylines within the show.
It's hard to imagine Battlestar Galactica even existing without the Eights, so they're undoubtedly one of the most iconic models. The only Cylon model that could even possibly come close to the Eights in terms of narrative significance are clearly the Sixes.
