Saul "The Rummy" Tigh is everybody's favorite crazy hobo pirate.

Everybody loves Rummy, even Sharon in the background there.  She missed his playful pistol-whipping sessions while he was away.

Commissioned as a Colonial Fleet officer through the influence of his father, Commander Morgan of the Battlestar Black Pearl, he was trained in the Special Forces in an experimental program to create combat divers for use on the Cylon homeworld, theorized to be covered in oceans of alcohol. This program was later revealed to have been created as a bet to see whether the Quorum of Twelve would ever believe the premise and award funding. All of Saul's anger is really just a result of pent-up feelings of helplessness at being used by the government. He's actually just a fuzzy teddy bear on the inside.

After years of doing nothing important, he was tossed on to the Bucket, where he drowned his sorrows in more booze than the fictional booze oceans were said to hold. Things got worse as his wife, who was hoped to be killed by the crazy religious robots' attempt to assassinate William Adama, reappeared.

On a desolate rock in space, Tigh grew his Guerilla Booze-Catcher, which granted him badassery on Adama's level at the cost of an eye. He then created a crude iPatch with gauze and tape, known as the "tEYE Patch". It served him well until received the iPatch, but didn't play any music.
