Admiral Dalias

Admiral Dalias is an Alliance Admiral and was thought to be Ryan's father before it was revealed that Horace Urvidian was really Ryan's father.

History
Little is known about Admiral Dalias' life before Ryan's birth. He was best friends with Horace Urvidian, and was married to Ryan's mother, Elaine. However, as revealed in The Last Offices, Dr. Urvidian and Ryan's mother had an affair in the past, leading to the two no longer speaking. Admiral Dalias does not blame Dr. Urvidian, and regrets the silence between them.

Elaine and Admiral Dalias stayed married until part way through Ryan's childhood. They separated when he was young due to a variety of factors, but mostly as they were 'incompatible'. Admiral Dalias spends majority of his time on spaceships, although he does have a place in Louisiana.
