William Adama Sr. explains the Mark of Manhood to his children ^{(CAP: "The Dirteaters")}.

As Tauron children enter adulthood, they are often marked with the stylized arrow-head symbol of the Colony itself. This is often acquired on Ink Day and done by a parent. For boys that become men, this is referred to as the Mark of Manhood, and given to the recipient by their father or a person who assumes the role.

In the case of William Adama Sr., it was his own father who marked him, just as William Sr. marks his son, Yoseef (Joseph) Adama, in 88 BCH (12YR). Following their parents' death, Yoseef marks his younger brother, Samuel Adama.

While Yoseef acquired his mark after studying and learning the Sacred Scrolls, Samuel received his mark by Yoseef after surviving the ordeal wrought by the Heracleides ^{(CAP: "The Dirteaters")} .
