And so his voice was used for all of the Imperious Leaders. That's the key point in the dialogue exchange in Baltar's cell. Iblis is revealed to have been the creator of the Cylons as we know them (he likely used another form when he brought down the original Cylon race).
I don't recall that being in the dialogue. Baltar simply recognizes Iblis as the voice of the IL. There is a further exchange about how Iblis could have been there so long ago, but nothing along the lines of Iblis arranging the downfall of the Lizard Cylons or anything like that.
