Tybalt is later slain by Lieutenant Commander {{TOS-RH|Athena}} during his attempt to take Troy hostage while attempting to escape the Pit<ref name="p220">{{cite book/RH|1|220}}</ref>, but not before Troy is able to convince Tybalt's followers that the serpents that they worship may indeed be the {{TOS-RH|Cylons}} themselves<ref name="p218">{{cite book/RH|1|219}}</ref>, resulting in a death of a Tauron woman who dares to question the mad Tybalt<ref name="p220"/>. These proceedings were broadcast throughout the entire Fleet, ultimately to the detriment of both the cult and the ersatz Puck {{RH|Armageddon}}.

Terence is an Agro-3 agro-worker[1], and follower of the Cult of the Serpent in 7360[2].

Following discovery of an unidentifiable corpse of a murdered individual on Agro-3, Warriors Troy and Dalton confer with an Agro-3 supervisor, determining that Terence was on duty at the estimated time of the murder.

With Terence being their only lead, the Warriors enlist the assistance of Captain Morgan aboard Ursus, for Terence was last seen heading to the ship following the conclusion of his shift[1].

The Warriors and Captain Morgan learn Terence's fate: he had been killed and decapitated by Tybalt's cultists, as Dalton finds his severed head in a mealprep area in the cultists' berth[3] (RH: Armageddon).
