Lucifer grows impatient with Baltar's games very quickly, and seizes command of the basestar when Baltar goes to Kobol to try to lure the Colonials with promises of peace. He orders an attack on the Colonial forces, inadvertently freeing Adama, Apollo, and Serina as well as trapping Baltar beneath a fallen stone inside the Tomb of the Ninth Lord of Kobol (Lost Planet of the Gods, Part II).

Lucifer has clear and present distrust of Specter, and attempts to convince Baltar of the problems Specter has (The Young Lords).

His final appearance is in part 1 of War of the Gods when Baltar decides to seek out the Galactica. Lucifer questions that the humans would accept Baltar's offer of alliance, yet he doesn't attempt to prevent Baltar from going on his foolish expedition, indicating that he isn't all that disappointed to have Baltar gone.
