Tucker "Duck" Clellan is a fictional character from the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica series.

Background

Duck served as a Colonial Viper pilot aboard the Battlestar Galactica and was a central character in the webisode series "Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance".

In the episode "Scar", Duck's wingman, a nugget, is killed by the Cylon Raider nicknamed "Scar".

When the fleet settles on New Caprica, Duck settles down with Nora, a fellow Viper pilot. They start planning for a family. Unfortunately, due to Colonel Tigh's practices in the New Caprica Resistance, Cylon Centurions massacre people worshipping in the temple, and Nora is killed. Nora had been religious, and Duck had refused to accompany her to temple that day. Duck later confronts Tigh about hiding weapons.

Getting suicidally depressed, Duck decides to get one back at the Cylons by joining the resistance and becoming a suicide bomber. Duck infiltrates the New Caprica Police, and detonates explosives strapped to himself up during the graduation ceremony, killing some 30 other graduates.
