Laura Roslin, a prophet gods-guided. Is she truly? You don't believe, but you know people wonder about her, even those in the military.
She's weak: you've seen that up close in the hollows beneath her eyes; in the lines of pain drawn finely in her face.
She'll die, but as she's something of a fanatic, deep down you want her cooperation before that day comes. It'll make the transition less problematic, if her military followers also become yours. You'll never admit that, though, and certainly not to her.
She's attractive, may even be beautiful. That could complicate things - but she could be a Cylon just like anyone else, though you doubt Cylons get cancer, and you won't make that mistake again. Ever.
