Der Name Caprica-Sechs wurde zunächst von den Fans der Serie zur Unterscheidung der verschiedenen Kopien genutzt. Seit der Episode Downloaded wird er offiziell in der Serie verwandt. Es wird allgemein angenommen, dass dies eine Fan-Reminiszens der Serienmacher darstellt.

In der Miniserie trifft Sechs eine Frau mit einem Baby in einem Kinderwagen, das sie sich näher anschaut. Als die Frau abgelenkt wird, bricht sie dem Baby das Genick und entfernt sich rasch. Die Hintergründe für die Tat bleiben im Dunkeln.

Zu diesem Zeitpunkt ist sie schon zwei Jahre auf Neu Caprica.

remineszens  was a copy of Six who played an important role in preparing the way for a Cylon invasion. We are first introduced to Caprica-Six when she observes a baby in a pram in a market place. The baby's mother is also present but then becomes distracted with someone else talking to her. Caprica-Six takes a closer look at the baby and snaps its neck and walks away looking distressed, possibly to spare it the coming nuclear holocaust.

For two years, Caprica-Six lived on Caprica. Seducing the ambitious, self-obsessed, arrogant Gaius Baltar, she fools him into believing she was a corporate spy, seeking to gain advantage over her competitors in order to secure a lucrative defense contract (Miniseries). Over the course of two years, she used Baltar to gain access to his work -- even to the extent of re-writing many of his own algorithms -- in order to subvert his own Command Navigation Program so that it could be used in the forthcoming Cylon attack to cripple Colonial forces. With the opening of the Cylon attack, Caprica-Six is apparently destroyed protecting Baltar from the effects of a nuclear blast shockwave on Caprica.

She is reborn into a new body and is hailed as a "Hero of the Cylon." Just as Baltar has visions of her, Caprica-Six has persistent visions of Gaius Baltar. When she asks the other Cylons, particularly Number Three, if Baltar was still alive, the copy of Number Three replies that he died along with nearly everyone else still on Caprica and the other colonies.

While living on Cylon-occupied Caprica, her vision of Baltar and her own developing feelings and intuition leads her to question some of the basic ideals that the Cylons hold dear. Unbeknownst to her, Number Three becomes distressed with her lingering attachment to Baltar and seeks to manipulate her feelings in order to make her unstable, thus giving the Cylons an excuse to "box" her. Three points Caprica-Six in the direction of a Number Eight who was having trouble adjusting to life as a Cylon and still clinging to her old false human identity; Lt. Sharon "Boomer" Valerii, formerly of the battlestar Galactica.

The resurrected Caprica-Six (Downloaded)

Through her counseling work with "Boomer"-Eight she learns that Three had deceived her; Baltar is not only alive but is also Vice President of the Colonies in the surviving human fleet. After uncovering the lie about Baltar's death, she and Boomer-Eight began to question themselves more about their brethren. If murder was a sin in the eyes of God when committed by humans, why is genocide condoned by God when committed by Cylons? Questions like these begin to take hold in Caprica-Six's mind and are compounded by feelings of guilt for her role in the attack on the Colonies. While trapped in a garage with Boomer-Eight, Three and Anders, Caprica-Six directly confronts the hypocrisy of the Cylons and ultimately rejects the false "truths" of her existence. She chooses instead to use her newfound celebrity to speak out against the Cylon's continuing war against humanity. Together with Boomer-Eight, she sets out to bring fundamental changes to Cylon society, their first action being to save the life of Anders. (Downloaded).

Just over a year after the human colonization of New Caprica, Caprica-Six is one of the leaders (with Boomer-Eight and a copy of Number Five) of the Cylon forces that meets now-President Baltar. In just a few words, Caprica-Six reveals to Baltar that she remembers precisely who he is, and how she missed him (Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II).

Notes

• According to the novelization of the Miniseries by SF novelist Jeffrey A. Carver, the name that Baltar called Six before she revealed she was a Cylon during the attack was "Natasi." Vorlage:IPA This name appears to be Polish in origin. Since this name has never been mentioned in the events of the screenplay or regular episodes, and as other names in the book, such as Cally, do not match existing aired or official information, this name should be treated as a separate continuity.
• In an interview, David Eick stated that there was never a canonical name which Baltar called Number Six while she was on Caprica, and "We always liked the idea that Baltar was a man of many tastes and that there's every likelihood that he never knew her name".
• Caprica-Six's outfit after her resurrection is considerably less elaborate than what she wore when working with Baltar, and she wears far less make-up, indicating that she only dressed so seductively for her mission.
• Caprica-Six's personality in "Downloaded" implies she might have shown humanity more compassion by, say, hailing them first, or landing outside the city, implying that her conversion of Cylon society isn't as complete as the Cavils claimed or once was but has regressed in the interim year.
