[edit] History
[edit] Season 5
Suffering from an incurable terminal illness, Conrad was desperate to uncover the regenerative biological secrets of Goa'uld symbiotes, so that his company might develop the medical technology necessary to save his life. To do so, he had Major Samantha Carter abducted in order to learn the effects a blending had on a human. When Major Carter adamantly resisted experimentation on herself, Adrian Conrad made the decision to be blended with the symbiote. The implantation was successful and the symbiote took control of Conrad. In order to escape with its new host, the symbiote pretended to be Conrad until he was captured by Colonel Frank Simmons of the NID. While incarcerated under Simmons' control, Conrad unknowingly assisted Jack O'Neill and Harry Maybourne in freeing Teal'c from the inner workings of the Stargate in 48 Hours.
[edit] Season 6
Adrian Conrad, along with Frank Simmons, was eventually released from custody as part of the demands of rogue NID agents who had hijacked the unfinished starship Prometheus. As they took Major Samantha Carter, Jonas Quinn, and a reporter named Julia Donovan hostage, and threatened to overload the hyperdrive, which would create a massive explosion, Col. O'Neill and Maj. Paul Davis agreed the best course of action would be to comply and have Simmons and Conrad board the Prometheus. Despite Simmons' insistence that he was acting in the interest of saving lives, it later turned out that he had orchestrated the entire affair. His plan did not succeed, however, as O'Neill and Teal'c were able to board the Prometheus in space. In the meantime, the Goa'uld attacked Simmons in his own desire to control the Prometheus. However, Conrad's schemes never come to fruition as he was killed by Col. Simmons, shot at point-blank range. Yet, the Goa'uld found its way into Simmons and instigated a fight with O'Neill, who released the infected Col. Simmons into the vacuum of space through an airlock.
