Serge was the robot butler of Graystone Family at their Caprica home, 58 years prior to the Fall of the Twelve Colonies.
Specifications
Much more primitive than his contemporary, the experimental U-87 Cyber Combat Unit (and the later Cylons), Serge was nonetheless capable of managing household tasks. His primary duties included granting and denying access to visitors, fetching food and drinks, and remote controlling home operations. He was also capable of reading back biographical and historical information and scanning televison news for specific references (CAP: "Pilot", "Rebirth", "Know Thy Enemy", "Ghosts in the Machine", "The Dirteaters").
Serge's non-humanoid design (distinguished by a single, circular eye and rounded body) was similar to other robots of the time, including drones used in simulations at the Graystone Industries campus in Caprica City (CAP: "Pilot").
Unlike the U-87 soldier robots, Serge did not possess full sentience, though he was highly intelligent as well as intuitive to human emotion. Amanda Graystone complained that her husband, Daniel Graystone had programmed "all sorts of weird stuff" into Serge. This included Pyramid slogans and curse words such as frak. Daniel Graystone jokingly claimed to believe that Serge had a crush on the U-87 (CAP: "Know Thy Enemy", "Rebirth").
- In a deleted scene from the episode "The Reins of a Waterfall", Serge recognized Zoe Graystone inside the U-87 body. Keeping Zoe's secret, Serge helped Zoe create a wireless link between the robot body she inhabited and the Virtual World. Serge's knowledge of Zoe may have accounted for Daniel's claim that he had a crush on the U-87 as well as Amanda's complaint about Serge being "weird".
Upon meeting Serge, various guests to the Graystone residence reacted differently to meeting Serge. Sister Clarice Willow - encountering Serge at the Graystones' door - was initially confused, unaware if she was supposed to directly address him. Sam Adama had the opposite response, reacting with humor and addressing Serge as "little guy" (CAP: "Know Thy Enemy", "Unvanquished").
Notes
- Serge was voiced by Jim Thomson who served as assistant editor on the Caprica pilot.
- It is not known if Serge-type robots were common on Caprica or if they were exclusively used by the Graystones. Serge claimed via his Twitter account, however, that he was unique and that the cost of mass-producing robots identical to himself were prohibitively high (Serge's Twitter page).
