Goa'uld characters in Stargate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the Stargate fictional universe, the Goa'uld are a fictional parasitic alien race that uses humans as hosts. Most Goa'uld pose as gods to control slave armies and are considered evil, egocentric megalomaniacs by those who do not worship them. The Tok'ra is a faction of Goa'uld that oppose the ways of the System Lords.
This is a list of the Goa'uld characters that have appeared so far in Stargate, Stargate SG-1, and Stargate Atlantis.
[edit] Amaterasu
Amaterasu was a powerful Goa'uld and member of the System Lords. She was based on Amaterasu, the sun goddess in Japanese mythology. She was one of the delegates sent by the System Lords to arrange a treaty with Earth after the destruction of Anubis' attack fleet.
[edit] Amonet
Amonet was the queen and mate of the System Lord Apophis, and Goa'uld who had possessed the wife of Daniel Jackson, Sha'uri. She was eventually killed by Teal'c to save Jackson's life. She was based on the Amunet in Egyptian mythology.
[edit] Anubis
Anubis was once a powerful Goa'uld System Lord before he was banished by the others because his actions were deemed unspeakable, even among the Goa'uld. He was believed destroyed, but managed to partially ascend. Anubis was eventually neutralized by Oma Desala, who chose to battle him for all eternity. He was based on the Anubis in Egyptian mythology.
[edit] Apophis
Apophis was a powerful Goa'uld and member of the System Lords. He was the main antagonist of the Tau'ri during the first years of the Stargate Program, and had tried to destroy Earth on several occasions. Apophis was eventually killed by SG-1 as his Ha'tak crashed into his homeworld Delmak. Apophis was based on the Apep in Egyptian mythology.
[edit] Athena

| Athena | |
|---|---|
| Race | Goa'uld |
| Gender | Female |
| Television portrayer | Sonya Salomaa |
| Key episodes | "Ex Deus Machina" (first appearance) |
Athena was a minor Goa'uld, who appeared to ally herself with any System Lord in power. Most recently, she came to serve Ba'al, and was one of the Goa'uld sent to infiltrate The Trust. On Earth, she adopted the alias of Charlotte Mayfield and posed as a wealthy business woman.
Before serving Ba'al, Athena once allied herself with Qetesh and shared information that, as Athena believed, could lead the two to an unimaginable treasure left behind by the Ancients. Subsequently, Qetesh betrayed her and kept the information for herself. However, she was forcibly removed from her host's body by the Tok'ra before the treasure was located.
After Vala Mal Doran, who had once been host to Qetesh, became a member of SG-1, The Trust kidnapped her and attempted to extract the information from her subconscious memory. However, as several special operations teams interrupted the memory-retrieving procedure before its completion, Vala lost her memory yet was able to escape her captors.
Still bent on extracting the information from Vala's subconsciousness, both Athena and SG-1 searched for her. However, Athena was able to locate her before the SGC did, and posed as Lieutenant-Colonel Samantha Carter to be allowed access to her. Athena subsequently died in a car accident when Vala was transported back to a Trust-operated facility. [1]
[edit] Ba'al
Ba'al is a powerful Goa'uld, and last remaining member of the System Lords. Less hostile to Earth than most of his fellow Goa'uld, he has assisted SG-1 in fighting both the Replicators and Ori. However, he remains an enemy of the SGC and the Free Jaffa Nation, who have both tried to capture him. He was based on the Asian Baal myth.
[edit] Bastet

|
| Bastet | |
|---|---|

| Television portrayer | Natasha Khadr |
| Key episodes | "Summit" (first appearance) |
Bastet was a member of the Goa'uld System Lords and gave rise to the Bastet of Egyptian mythology.
One of the more recent System Lords, Bastet did not come to power until the Goa'uld's second dynasty collapsed. The exact circumstances of how she came to power remain unknown, although she has been known to be extremely ruthless and not very trustworthy. Bastet once united forces with her fellow System Lord Kali, and the two later made a treaty with the Goa'uld Sobek. Then, at the celebratory feast, they moved against him and decapitated their would-be ally. Rumor has it that Sobek's head still decorates Bastet's palace in Bubastis.
Although Basted claimed to have suffered heavy losses in surprise attacks by Anubis, she later voted to allow the powerful Goa'uld back to his former position as a System Lord. [2]
According to Tok'ra intelligence, Bastet was one of several System Lords eventually killed by Ba'al. [3]
[edit] Bynarr
| Stargate character | |
 Bynarr in Jolinar's Memories |
|
| Bynarr | |
|---|---|
| Race | Goa'uld |
| Gender | Male |
| Rank | Lord of Ne'tu |
| Television portrayer | Bob Dawson |
| Key episodes | "Jolinar's Memories" (first appearance) |
Bynarr was a minor Goa'uld in the service of Sokar, and commanded the hell-like prison moon of Ne'tu.
Although weapons were forbidden on Ne'tu, Bynarr was allowed to possess a single hand device for himself and a Staff weapon for his First Prime. For some time during his reign on Ne'tu, Bynarr's First Prime was Na'onak, an alias of the former System Lord Apophis, who had been defeated by Sokar.
Bynarr once shared an intimate relationship with the Tok'ra Jolinar of Malkshur, who had been banished to Ne'tu after being caught spying on Sokar. The minor Goa'uld allowed himself to be seduced by the Tok'ra in his chambers. While he slept, Jolinar stole the key to access the ring transporter, allowing her to escape Ne'tu to Sokar's nearby homeworld of Delmak, where she stole a Tel'tak and was able to escape.
As punishment for allowing the Tok'ra operative to escape, Sokar ripped out one of Bynarr's eyes. Until his death, he felt betrayed by Jolinar, and wished nothing more than vengeance. Bynarr was killed with a staff blast in the back by his First Prime, who also succeeded him as lord of Ne'tu. [4]
[edit] Camulus
Camulus was a powerful Goa'uld and member of the System Lords. He was one of the delegates sent to the SGC after the Tau'ri destroyed Anubis' attack fleet. As his army had been destroyed by Anubis, he defected to Earth. He was later sent back to the System Lords, and was killed by Ba'al. He was based on the Camulus in Celtic mythology.
[edit] Cronus
Cronus was a powerful Goa'uld and member of the System Lords. First seen as one of the System Lords sent to the SGC during the negotiations between the Asgard and the Goa'uld regaring the inclusion of Earth in the Protected Planets Treaty, Cronus was eventually killed by the Altairan robotic duplicate of Teal'c. He was based on the Cronos in Greek mythology.
[edit] Hathor
Hathor was a Goa'uld queen and former mate of Ra. Hathor was imprisoned in a Sarcophagus in South America, where she remained for thousands of years until she was released by several archaeologists. Subsequently unsuccessfully tried to take control of the SGC, and later escaped through the Stargate. Hathor was eventually killed by Jack O'Neill after her elaborate plot to extract information from SG-1 failed. She was based on the Hathor in Egyptian mythology.
[edit] Heru-ur
Heru-ur was a member of the System Lords, and son of Ra and Hathor. One of the more militant System Lords, he attempted to conquer Cimmeria, but was forced to flee as the Asgard appeared to protect the planet. After Apophis had taken over Sokar's forces, the System Lord attempted to form an alliance with Heru-ur to battle the remaining Goa'uld. However, the negotiations backfired, and Heru-ur was killed by his would-be ally. His armies were probably usurped by Apophis. Her-ur was named after the god Horus in Egyptian mythology.
[edit] Imhotep/K'tano
| Stargate character | |
 Imhotep in The Warrior |
|
| Imhotep/K'tano | |
|---|---|
| Race | Goa'uld |
| Gender | Male |
| Rank | Leader of the Jaffa Rebellion |
| Birthplace | Unknown |
| Television portrayer | Rick Worthy |
| Key episodes | "The Warrior" (first appearance) |
Imhotep was a minor Goa'uld who once built the Great Pyramids on Earth as landing platforms for the Goa'uld Ha'tak. He presumably served Ra, who controlled Earth at the time.
However, the power-hungry Imhotep, who had never achieved the rank of System Lord or other such power levels, decided to exploit the Jaffa rebellion for his own gain. Disguising himself as his own First Prime, K'tano, he infiltrated the organization and planned to rule the Jaffa after they succeeded in toppling the System Lords. He was a powerful warrior, and quite skilled in a karate-like fighting technique.
To insure the success of his rebellion, which needed food and medical supplies that they were unable to procure for themselves, he attempted to create an alliance with Stargate Command from Earth. Bra'tac, who was impressed by what appeared to be a charismatic and determined Jaffa, contacted the SGC and arranged a meeting. K'tano quickly impressed Teal'c, showing devotion verging on fanaticism, and brought him and Bra'tac to the point where they would fight with him and the rest of his Jaffa army. However, Jack O'Neill did not accept K'tano's motivations so readily, concerned over his lack of consideration for the lives of his subordinates. In fact, K'tano crossed many moral boundaries by ordering his Jaffa on suicide missions with naqahdah-enhanced bombs, sacrificing their lives for morale-boosting yet inconsequential victories over the Goa'uld.
Despite Jack's words of caution Teal'c did not listen, and was even willing to embark on a mission for K'tano which planned on attacking Yu's homeworld. It was believed that Yu was in a vulnerable state and would be ripe for an assassination. However, when Teal'c arrived, he was quickly captured by Yu. He informed Teal'c that K'tano was a traitor and, though he was tempted to execute the shol'va, he sent Teal'c back to the rebel to expose K'tano.
After Teal'c returned to the Jaffa's rebellion planet, arriving just as the remainder of SG-1 was planning to return to Earth, he challenged K'tano to Joma'sequ, a ritual battle to decide a leader. During this battle K'tano's true identity was revealed, after which he was killed by Teal'c in the ritual battle, securing Teal'c as ruler of the Jaffa Rebellion and removing yet another Goa'uld from the Galaxy. [5]
[edit] Kali
| Stargate character | |
 Kali in Summit |
|
| Kali | |
|---|---|
| Race | Goa'uld |
| Gender | Female |
| Rank | System Lord |
| Television portrayer | Suleka Mathew |
| Key episodes | "Summit" (first appearance) |
Kali was one of the Goa'uld System Lords, and was also known as Kali the Destroyer.
Kali was known for her ruthlessness and was not particularly trustworthy. She and her fellow System Lord Bastet were on fairly friendly terms, as the two once combined forces and made a treaty with the Goa'uld Sobek. However, during the celebratory feast, they moved against him, and he was eventually decapitated.
During the first months of Anubis' rise to power, Kali was one of the several System Lords who had been the victim of multiple surprise attacks by the then unknown Goa'uld. Kali herself had lost an outpost on the planet Cerador along with two motherships to him.
During one of these attacks, Kali's First Prime had been able to board one of the enemy motherships. Although he was killed soon after, the Jaffa did manage to inform his master that the ship was crewed with Jaffa bearing Olokun's mark. Therefore, she initially suspected him to be the mysterious attacker.
Eventually, it was discovered that these losses were in fact caused by the ancient Goa'uld Anubis, who wanted to rejoin the System Lords. Despite having been attacked several times herself, she later voted in favor of allowing Anubis to rejoin the ranks of the System Lords. [2]
[edit] Klorel
| Stargate character | |
 Klorel in The Serpent's Lair |
|
| Klorel | |
|---|---|
| Race | Goa'uld |
| Gender | Male |
| Known relatives | Apophis (father) |
| Television portrayer | Alexis Cruz |
| Key episodes | "The Serpent's Lair" (first appearance) |
Klorel was a young Goa'uld, and the son of Apophis and his queen. Apophis also chose the host in which his son was to live out eternity, the Abydonian Skaara.
When Apophis had finally gathered an army with which to attack the Tau'ri, Klorel joined his father in the campaign against Earth. However, unknown to him, SG-1 had boarded and sabotaged his Ha'tak. Although Jack O'Neill, who had known Klorel's host for many years, was determined to get through to Skaara, he was eventually forced to shoot Klorel to keep him from killing Jackson with a hand device. [6]
Eventually, Klorel was revived with a Sarcophagus and was forced to escape alongside his father through the Stargate on board his ship when SG-1 and Bra'tac were successfull in destroying the two attack ships. However, this defeat severely weakened Apophis' position among his fellow System Lords, and probably affected Klorel's position the same way. [7]
Two years later, Klorel was chased by two Ha'tak's dispatched by the System Lord Heru-ur, and was forced made his way to the planet Tollana. The Tollan, who possessed advanced technology, destroyed the two motherships, and Klorel subsequently crash-landed on the planet in a death glider. His injuries allowed his host to surface, who asked the Tollan to have the symbiote removed from his body.
The Tollan subsequently set up a triad, the Tollan equivalent of a private law proceeding, to decide who would permanently be in charge over Skaara's body. In the end, the swaying vote fell to Lya of the Nox, who declared Klorel should be removed from Skaara's body. The verdict was carried out, and Klorel was removed by the Tok'ra. He was presumably sent through the Stargate to a Goa'uld world of his choice, although it remains unknown if he survived long enough to possess another host. [8]
[edit] Marduk
| Stargate character | |
 Marduk in The Tomb |
|
| Marduk | |
|---|---|
| Race | Goa'uld |
| Gender | Male |
| Television portrayer | Alexander Kalugin |
| Key episodes | "The Tomb" (first appearance) |
Marduk was a powerful Goa'uld, based on the Marduk in Babylonian mythology, who defeated the beast Tiamat and split it in two, creating the Earth and the sky. Marduk possessed an advanced piece of technology, the "Eye of Tiamat", which could be combined with five other similar devices, including those held by Apophis, Osiris and Ra, to form a most powerful weapon.
Marduk was rumored to be so evil that his own priests eventually rebelled against him. They sealed him inside a Sarcophagus with a creature that would continually consume his flesh as the Sarcophagus worked to keep him alive.
However, the symbiote would not go so easily. He left his host and took possession of the creature, and subsequently managed to survive in the Sarcophagus for thousands of years. When a Russian Stargate team found its way into Marduk's ziggurat temple and accidentally freed him, he killed them all and consumed their flesh.
When SG-1 discovered Marduk's temple and evidence that a Russian team had once visited the planet, the SGC contacted the Russian military, who sent another Russian team to investigate the temple alongside SG-1. However, after the two teams eventually became trapped inside the ziggurat temple, Marduk left the creature and took over a Russian team member. When he eventually revealed his true nature to Jack O'Neill, Marduk was killed by an exploding grenade, and was buried in rock when parts of the temple collapsed. [9]
[edit] Moloc

 Moloc in Sacrifices |
|
| Moloc | |
|---|---|
| Race | Goa'uld |
| Gender | Male |
| Television portrayer | Royston Innes |
| Key episodes | "Sacrifices" (first appearance) |
Moloc was a powerful Goa'uld who controlled several planets and vast armies. It is unknown if Moloc was a System Lord, but it is very likely.
Some thirty years before SG-1 met a group of Jaffa women formerly in his service, Moloc decreed only male children born in his domain would be allowed to live, as only they would lead his warriors to victory in the wars against his enemies. Female Jaffa children were supposed to be sacrificed in the Ceremony of Fire, in which they were burned alive.
However, Ishta, Moloc's high priestess and the Jaffa responsible for performing the Ceremony of Fire, couldn't watch her sisters die and brought many of them to a planet she called Hak'tyl, meaning "liberation". The Hak'tyl eventually became an impressive resistance group which performed regular attacks against Moloc and his Jaffa. [10]
Eventually, Moloc did learn of the Hak'tyl, and launched a surprise attack on one of their meetings with the Jaffa Rebellion. He could also capture and torture Ishta, although he was eventually killed by two missiles fired by the SGC through the Stargate, which were aimed at his chest by Aron. [11]
- Moloc was named after Moloch, a Phoenician god and particular kind of sacrifice.
[edit] Morrigan

Morrigan was a powerful Goa'uld, and one of the System Lords.
Little has been revealed about Morrigan. However, she was well-known among the Goa'uld for using her human servant to draw out strategic information from the servants of her enemies, as she once did with one of Yu's previous lo'tar slaves.
Morrigan was one of the System Lords who attended a Goa'uld summit in 2002 to discuss the possibility of forming a new order. She voted in favor of allowing Anubis to rejoin the ranks of the System Lords. [2]
In 2005, after Ba'al had gained control of most of Anubis' former military assets, Morrigan was forced to capitulate to him. [3] She has not been seen since, although it is safe to assume that she was killed during the Replicator invasion of the Milky Way.
- Morrigan was named after the figure in Irish mythology.
[edit] Mot
| Stargate character | |
 Mot in Prophecy |
|
| Mot | |
|---|---|
| Race | Goa'uld |
| Gender | Male |
| Television portrayer | Victor Talmadge |
| Key episodes | "Prophecy" (first appearance) |
Mot was a minor Goa'uld and underling in the service of Ba'al.
Mot controlled the world of P4S-237, whose people were terrorized into mining the almost depleated naqahdah mine. He kept Ba'al in the dark regarding a still-active stash of naqahdah provided by the planet, keeping the spoils for himself. He intended to ultimately use the collected naqahdah to build an army and to rise up against his master.
When SG-1 assisted the people of P4S-237 to liberate themselves, several villagers remained loyal to Mot and informed him of the planned uprising. Mot himself came to the planet to quell the rebellion, and captured SG-1. He subsequently attempted to extract Jack O'Neill's Iris code to destroy the SGC, although this plan was eventually foiled when one of the villagers, a girl called Natania, shot him in the back, presumably killing him. [12]
[edit] Nerus
Nerus was a minor Goa'uld who worked for Ba'al as a scientist. He eventually turned to the Ori, and lured SG-1 into an Ori trap. He was subsequently taken captive and was forced into intellectual labor at Area 51. After Ba'al began stealing Stargates, he was released in exchange for information and to track and introduce a virus to Ba'al's mothership. Nerus was subsequently exectuted by Ba'al, who suspected him of collaboration with the Tau'ri. He was based on the Nereus of Greek mythology.
[edit] Nirrti
Nirrty was a Goa'uld System Lord who performed genetically experimented on humans on different planets, to create an advanced human as a perfect host. Her technological experiment regarding cloaking technology eventually caused her to be banished by her fellow System Lords, although she was able to escape and resume genetic experimentations on a different planet. She was eventually killed by her own test subjects. She is based on the goddess Nirrti in Hinduism.
[edit] Olokun
| Stargate character | |
 Olokun in Summit |
|
| Olokun | |
|---|---|
| Race | Goa'uld |
| Gender | Male |
| Rank | System Lord |
| Television portrayer | Kwesi Ameyaw |
| Key episodes | "Summit" (first appearance) |
Olokun was a powerful Goa'uld and one of the System Lords. He attended the Goa'uld summit to consider the possibility of a new order in 2002.
As Anubis was rising to power at the time, the enigmatic Goa'uld had conducted several surprise attacks against his fellow System Lords without revealing his identity. Olokon was subsequently accused of being in league with the System Lords' enemy when some of his Jaffa were encountered on one of the mysterious attacking ships.
However, Olokon confessed that some time ago, one of his Ha'taks was captured by Anubis, and that the Jaffa on board had betrayed him, switching their allegiance after being defeated in battle rather than fighting to the death. Although Olokon had suffered losses during Anubis' attacks, he eventually voted in favor of allowing him to rejoin the System Lords. [2]
Although Olokun had voted in favor of Anubis, he was eventually attacked by his Kull warriors. His Jaffa were unable to keep their ground, and were slaughtered. As the Tok'ra had a spy within Olokun's ranks at the time, the Jaffa Rebellion asked the Tok'ra to assassinate the System Lord in the hopes that his Jaffa would be free. However, the Tok'ra feared that Anubis would instead usurp Olokun's armies, and refused to do so. This created tension between the two groups, and eventually led to the end of the Tok'ra-Tau'ri-Jaffa alliance. [13]
According to Tok'ra intelligence, Olokun was one of several System Lords eventually killed by Ba'al. [3]
- Olokun was named after the great-great-grandson of the first-existing deity in Yorùbá mythology, born from a raped mother who birthed fifteen others.
[edit] Osiris
Osiris was a former System Lord who was imprisoned in a canopic jar on Earth for thousands of years. When the jar was discovered and opened, Osiris possessed Sarah Gardner, and escaped into space. She subsequently came to serve Anubis, although she was eventually captured by SG-1, who extracted the symbiote from the host. Her fate remainst unknown. She was based on the Osiris in Egyptian mythology.
[edit] Ra
Ra was an extremely powerful Goa'uld, considered the Supreme System Lord by his peers, which made him nominal Emperor of the Goa'uld, and controlled Earth for thousands of years. He was the first Goa'uld ever encountered by the Tau'ri, and was killed by Jack O'Neill during their original encounter by a nuclear warhead exploding on board his ship, forever changing the balance of power among the System Lords. Ra was based on the sun god in Egyptian mythology.
[edit] Ramius

 Ramius in Evolution |
|
| Ramius | |
|---|---|
| Race | Goa'uld |

| Key episodes | "Evolution, Part I" (first appearance) |
Ramius was a minor Goa'uld lord who once attempted to form an alliance with Tilgath, a fellow minor Goa'uld.
During the negotiations for the alliance, he suffered losses at the hands of Anubis's new supersoldier, including the death of his First Prime. However, Ramius was able to escape, and subsequently returned to his base of operations.
Teal'c and Bra'tac, who later visited the same planet and barely survived their encounter with the same supersoldier, realized that Anubis had attempted to murder both minor Goa'uld to usurp their armies in preparation for his war against the System Lords. As the SGC did not want to see Anubis grow more powerful, SG-1 was sent to Ramius' homeworld, where they attempted to stop another supersoldier bent on killing Ramius.
However, SG-1's attempts to stop the soldier failed, and the team was captured by Ramius' Jaffa. Ramius did not believe that the SG team had come to his aid, and almost executed them. However, eventually SG-1 was proven right as Ramius was killed by another supersoldier when attempting to flee to a nearby Ring transporter. Anubis likely absorbed Ramius' army into his own. [14]
[edit] Seth
| Stargate character | |

|
| Seth | |
|---|---|
| Race | Goa'uld |
| Gender | Male |
| Rank | Cult leader |
| Television portrayer | Robert Duncan |
| Key episodes | "Seth" (first appearance) |
Seth was a former System Lord, who eventually turned against Ra, and made an enemy of both the System Lords and the Tok'ra. According to Egyptian mythology, he was said to have cut Osiris into bits and threw him into the Nile River. This later appeared to be true, to the point that Seth placed Osiris in a Goa'uld stasis jar and discarded him in the Nile.
When the Tok'ra attempted to locate all System Lords, it was discovered that Seth had never left Earth. Jacob Carter was subsequently sent to the SGC, where he was supposed to cooperate with SG-1 in an attempt to locate him. Because Goa'uld were known for seeking power through false religion, SG-1 searched for cults which worshipped Seth.
It was later discovered that Seth, who became trapped on Earth when the Stargate was buried several thousand years ago and was able to survive by switching hosts several times, led a cult somewhere north of Seattle. The cult turned out to be heavily armed, and was monitored by the ATF.
As Seth controlled his followers with a powerful, mind-controlling, inhaled drug, Selmak was able to find a way to disable this drug by administering a mild jolt of electricity. Using small devices contained within their ears to immunize them from the drug, the members of SG-1 (except Teal'c) infiltrated the cult, where they subsequently freed the other members. Although Seth tried to flee, he was eventually killed by Samantha Carter, who used a Goa’uld hand device to slam him into the floor. [15]
- Seth was one of the few Goa'uld to have a set of unique helmeted Guards, the others being the Serpent Guards of Apophis and the Horus Guards of Ra and Heru-ur. Seth's guards were known as Setesh Guards, and their helmets were modelled after the Seth Animal. They are also the cause of many Jaffa jokes.
[edit] Sokar
Sokar was a former System Lord, who was banished by his peers some time ago. He eventually returned and amassed an enormous army, before his ship was destroyed by the Tok'ra and SG-1. His armies were eventually taken over by Apophis. Sokar was based on the minor funeral god in Egyptian mythology.
[edit] Tanith
Tanith was a young Goa'uld in service of Apophis. Pretending to despise the Goa'uld, he attempted to infiltrated the Tok'ra as a spy, although they merely used him to relay false information back to the System Lords. After killing Shau'nac, Teal'c swore to revenge his old love interest, which he eventually did, killing Tanith.

Terok was a minor Goa'uld in the service of System Lord Heru-ur.
An expert torture master, Terok was assigned to make an example of Teal'c's betrayal of his "god" in hopes of crushing the spirit of the Jaffa Resistance. When the Jaffa Rak'nor betrayed Teal'c and handed him over to the Goa'uld, Terok tortured him in front of a recording device.
Terok had attempted to force Teal'c to admit that the Goa'uld were the gods they pretended to be, but he was eventually unsuccessful as Teal'c held his ground. Although Heru-ur had originally planned to hand over Teal'c to his former master, Apophis, as the two System Lords were negotiating an alliance at the time, Terok swore to kill Teal'c at least once.
However, eventually Rak'nor, who had become impressed with Teal'c resolve, had a change of heart and turned on Terok, killing him. His body was subsequently sent over to Apophis' mothership in Teal'c's place. The act helped to throw the new alliance into chaos, and Apophis later destroyed Heru-ur's mothership. [16]

A competent engineer and inventor, Thoth was responsible for overseeing the genetic engineering and maintenance of the Kull warriors, Anubis' newly developed and highly effective army of supersoldiers.
When SG-1 had extracted the location of his home base, Tartarus, from a captured Kull warrior, the team was sent to the planet along with Selmak. They sabotaged Anubis' production facility, but also attracted Thot's attention.
Although Thoth was armed with a hand device, he was eventually killed by Samantha Carter. [14]
- Thoth was named after the deity in Egyptian mythology.
[edit] Yu
Yu was the eldest of the Goa'uld System Lords, and the one who was more friendly to Earth. Yu was an enemy of Anubis, and opposed his request to rejoin the System Lords. He commanded the System Lords' collective armies against Anubis until his old age forced him to turn over command to Ba'al. He was later killed by RepliCarter during the Replicator invasion of the Milky Way. Yu was based on the pseudo-mythical Yu the Great, the first Chinese emperor.
[edit] Zipacna
Zipacna was a minor Goa'uld who originally worked for Apophis and his son Klorel, and later switched allegiance to Anubis. He argued Klorel's case in a Tollan Triad regarding permanent control over Skaara's body, and commanded a Goa'uld assault on the Tok'ra base on Revanna several years later. Zipacna was based on the demon of the same name in Mayan mythology.
