| '''Aaron Doral''' ('''Number Five''') is a fictional character from the reimagined '']'' series. | |||
| ==The first Doral== | |||
| Prior to ], Aaron Doral is the civilian ] aboard the battlestar ''Galactica''. During the events of the ], ]'s attention is drawn by his apparational ] to a device in the ''Galactica'''s ]. Six convinces Baltar that it is a Cylon device and that he can do nothing about it without revealing his connection to her. Panicking, Baltar wonders aloud whether Doral (whose movements are relatively unsupervised) could be a Cylon agent, which Six denies. Baltar accuses Doral anyway, and the ], Col. ], throws Doral in the brig. | |||
| Doral emphatically denies being a Cylon, but after Cdr. ] is forced to kill ], Baltar frames Doral with what he claims is a "Cylon test." Unwilling to risk the chance that Baltar is right, Adama abandons Doral (presumably to die) at the ] when the ragtag fleet leaves the Cyrannus system forever. The audience swiftly learns, however, that Baltar was (unwittingly) correct: Soon after the ''Galactica'' leaves Ragnar, Doral is rescued by several Twos, Fives, Sixes, and at least one ]. | |||
| ==Number Five== | |||
| Throughout the show, the Colonial authorities tend to use "Leoben" and "Doral" as generic terms for Numbers Two and Five respectively. A second Five detonates a suicide bomb in the episode ], and many more Fives appear operating Cylon baseships and the Cylon occupations of the Colonies and New Caprica. The Fives side with the Ones and Fours in the brief ]. | |||
| ==Personality== | |||
| The Fives have an unassuming, "average" appearance in order to better blend into the background. Several Fives appear to have positions of authority among the Cylons, acting as an overseer. For example, the project to have an Eight seduce ] is supervised by a Five who monitors and directs the situation with apparent curiosity. | |||
| Others, however, seem to have below-average intelligence: In "]," a ] berates a confused Doral copy (wearing clothing nearly identical to the first copy encountered by the Colonials) for his lack of disguise and caution while wandering the ''Galactica''. A later scene shows a small group of Doral copies assigned to menial labor disposing of masses of human corpses on occupied Caprica, doing work they complain is below them and should be handled by Centurions. | |||
| The Fives seem more fanatical and compassionless than the other humanoid Cylons, excluding the Number Ones. They are the only humanoid Cylon model never shown in any kind of romantic or sexual relationship. They discuss the genocide of mankind in calm, functional abstractions, and unhesitatingly resort to violence.<ref>]; ].</ref> In "]" a Number Eight accuses Doral of "barely even being able to say name," suggesting that the Fives' pieties are a sham. | |||
