I hear ya, he's not represented and there has to be a reason. Actually a Leoben -was- in the pilot in the group that visited the supply depot so he has been seen doing group decision making/policy before.
The purpose of making 12 models was never explained, I propose they all exist to explore slightly different aspects of 'humanity' and as such cover different age, race, sex and obsessions. This would mean that there would be the ones who care deeply about humanity in one way or another (whether to deliver Gods Wrath or Love or just to play with them) and other Cylons who, by the nature of their design have slightly different priorities.
Hrm.
Ron Moore says (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylons#Humanoid_Cylons) that "The idea is not that there was likely an original human model that they were copied from. The idea was that these models of Cylon were sort of developed out of their own study of us. The Cylons on some level looked at humanity and said "You know what? There's really only 12 of you." If these are the 12, and sort of if you look at them they each represent different archetypes of what humanity is."
Which should mean that we can apply archetypes to the models - how would you characterise them?
Gina/Shelley Godfrey/Caprica Six - passionate and religious Sharon Valerii - empathetic and loyal Leoben Conoy - mystical and obsessed Aaron Doral - intellectual and manipulative Simon - practical and scientific Brother Cavil - Machiavellian agnostic cynic D'Anna Biers - aggressive and idealistic
Starbuck - Yeah I had that impression too, like they were somehow aware of her and thought she was special.
