Cylon-humanoids

Early in the series, the Colonials learn there are twelve models of Cylon-humanoids among them. The first of them were descendants of the lost thirteenth tribe called the "Final Five", who were not individually numbered and were not discovered until later in the series. The seven Cylon-humanoids first seen in the series are known as the "Significant Seven" and were numbered one to six, then jump to eight. The Number Seven model does not make an appearance, as his entire line had been destroyed prior to the start of the series.
