This article covers the various depictions of Count [[Iblis]] from the tie-in novelizations, comic books, and other media.<br />
<br />
Iblis is one of the few pivotal "one-shot" characters never to have appeared in either the Dynamite Entertainment or, even earlier, Marvel comics. <br />

Iblis is responsible for allowing the [[Cylons (TOS alternate)|Cylons]] to follow the Colonials to [[Earth (TOS alternate)|Earth]], and his powers have increased since [[War of the Gods, Part II|the previous encounter]]. <br />
<br />
Iblis is indirectly responsible for slaying [[Adama (alternate)|Adama]] (although Adama himself is terminal), who stays behind on [[Adam]] and [[Eve]]'s ark to learn about the ancient Kobollian technology. This event occurs during the Cylon attack, when Adama protects Adam from being slain by [[Baltar (alternate)|Baltar]], who Iblis transports to Earth (''[[War of Eden 1]]''—[[War of Eden 4|4]]'').<br />

<br />
At the dawn of the first millennium of man, Count Iblis convinces the [[Cylons (TOS alternate)|Cylon]] dictator [[Sobekkta]] to create a race of robotic creatures that would later take on the name "Cylon," after the extermination of their reptilian creators. Due to this interference and other transgressions, he is sentenced to "live only in death" for 7,000 [[yahren]] (''[[Eve of Destruction#Prelude I: Nostalgie De La Boue|Eve of Destruction - Prelude I: Nostalgie De La Boue]]''). It is after his sentence ends that he encounters the humans fleeing from the robotic Cylons and attempts to subjugate them, resulting in the events depicted in "[[War of the Gods]]." <br />
<br />
Amongst Iblis's powers, he is also capable of changing his appearance. To the Colonials, he appears human; to the reptilian Cylons, he appears as a green-skinned Cylon with a singular eye slit (''Eve of Destruction - Prelude I: Nostalgie De La Boue'').<br />

== Notes ==<br />
<br />
* The Realm Press comics use the likeness of [[Patrick Macnee]], the actor who portrayed [[Iblis]] in "[[War of the Gods]]," for the older Count Iblis in Realm Press's ''[[Eve of Destruction]]''.<br />
