Romo Lampkin is a highly capable, though ethically questionable, lawyer in the Fleet, as well as a kleptomaniac with tendencies of deception and psychological lying, who was an understudy of Joseph Adama, a man who he hates, yet respects.
Prior to the Fall of the Twelve Colonies, he worked in the public litigation office on Caprica, where he likely met and studied under Adama. His parents were robbed and murdered when he was nine. He was previously married for a period of 10 years, his only remaining possession he has from the marriage is a cat whom he claims to dislike, but the cat does not "scratch or bite like she did".
Lampkin is assigned as Gaius Baltar's lawyer, after the previous lawyer, Alan Hughes, is killed in a bombing of Margaret "Racetrack" Edmondson's Raptor. He claims to take the case because of fame and glory and, despite questions raised about his previous experience, appears insufferably self-confident and pompous.
Amongst his behaviors, Lampkin claims that interrogation rooms give him "stage fright". He also tends to channel his kleptomania by stealing objects he believes are important from a psychological perspective, for instance he steals Laura Roslin's glasses, believing that it would make her appear less serious during the trial. As a psychological trick, Romo Lampkin typically wears a pair of sunglasses, which he takes off or lowers when he wants his subject to look him in his uncovered eyes. It is inconclusive as to whether or not he speaks the truth when he makes eye contact with his subjects without his glasses on.
As he was Baltar's lawyer, he was also a target of two attacks carried out by Captain Aaron Kelly, with Lampkin being injured in the last, after the door to his room was wired with an explosive device (The Son Also Rises).
