Gaius Baltar’s robes

In his alleged post-trial reformation as a spiritual leader, spurred by the “nymph squad” that saves him after the end of his controversial trial in “Crossroads, Part II“, Gaius Baltar begins to wear robes of a religious nature. While their origin is unknown, these robes first appear in the Season 4 episode “Escape Velocity“, and are featured in later episodes while with his followers.

Usually, Baltar wears these robes while preaching the belief that “everyone is perfect” and that the Lords of Kobol are false gods. These sermons are recorded and then transmitted over the Talk Wireless so as to reach other listeners, including terminal cancer patient Emily Kowalski, herself featured in the Season 4 episode, “Faith“.
