Colonel Tigh is the Executive Officer of the Battlestar Galactica, and was played by Terry Carter. In his early years, he flew a Viper in the same squadron as Commander Adama. Tigh at first appears to be strictly by-the-book and a tough disciplinarian, however he has a lighter side. For example, in the episode Lost Planet of the Gods, Tigh bails Greenbean and the other Blue Squadron pilots out of trouble with Council Security and tells them to carry on with Apollo's bachelor party.
Tigh has proven himself a competent battlestar commander multiple times. In The Living Legend, Tigh is tasked to command the Battlestar Pegasus by Adama, which he does for a short time until Cain retakes his command. In the episode immediately following that one, Fire in Space, Adama is injured and Tigh takes command of the Galactica.
In Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming, set many years after the original series, Tigh is President of the Quorum of Twelve.
