This page covers the various depictions of the Original Series's Baltar from the tie-in novelizations, comic books, and other media.

Berkley Novelizations

In the The Tombs of Kobol, Baltar is spared execution by Lucifer, despite the Imperious Leader's order that he be executed. In secret from the Imperious Leader, Lucifer saves Baltar for the purposes of his plan, which is to use Baltar to analyze the human race and determine an effective means to destroy them.[1] However, given that Baltar is "overweight, out of condition, flaccid from too much indulgent living", Lucifer places Baltar on a diet, as well as physical and mental regimens for him to be an effective component in his plans.[2]

Furthermore, Baltar's mother is described as "overbearing and aristocratic"[3]
