Thanks! Sire Antipas is probably the one character I've created I felt that was most essential to address the complaint that Galactica too often had the Council members as buffoon type villains. Trying to come up with a formidable, serious adversary with youthful charisma was what I was looking for there. I keep thinking of Timothy Dalton in "The Lion In Winter" as the image of what Antipas would be.
