[edit] Stargate
Like the rest of the people of Abydos, Skaara was enslaved by Ra and forced to work in his naqahdah mines. This was changed when he was introduced to Colonel Jack O'Neill and his exploration team from Earth. He developed a special interest in Col. O'Neill and started to imitate him. His lighthearted, boyish imitations reminded O'Neill of his late son, who had accidentally killed himself with Jack's gun.
When Ra summoned the people of Skaara's tribe to show them the execution of the people from Earth, he helped them flee by using their weapons. Together with some of his friends he helped O'Neill and his soldiers sneak into the pyramid on the planet to fight against the soldiers of Ra. However, when Ra used his Death gliders, he and the others had to surrender. Fortunately, his father Kasuf and a popular rebellion saved him and his companions from execution.[1]
[edit] Stargate SG-1
Skaara lived peacefully on Abydos for another year, but when O'Neill returned, he was kidnapped by the Goa'uld Apophis and taken to Chulak. There, he was chosen to become host to a Goa'uld symbiote, Apophis's son Klorel. [2]
During Apophis's attack against Earth, Klorel commanded one of the two Ha'taks the System Lord had sent to the planet. As SG-1 had been successful in invading his ship, Skaara was again confronted with O'Neill. However, he was still controled by his symbiote, and was only able to emerge when he was shot with a Zat. However, O'Neill and Teal'c ware soon captured and brought before Apophis, who ordered their execution.
When the two were rescued by their comrades, O'Neill was forced to shoot Klorel to prevent him from killing Dr. Jackson. He was later revived by Bra'tac by placing him into a Sarcophagus. [3] After his resurrection, he was taken hostage by SG-1 and Bra'tac who transport to Apophis' ship. As SG-1 had been successful in sabotaging the two vessels, Apophis and his son were forced to flee before their ships were destroyed. [4]
About two years later, his ship crashed on the Tollan homeworld while fleeing from Heru-ur's forces. With Klorel injured, Skaara regained control and pleaded the Tollan for help to remove the Symbiote. The Tollan called a three-sided trial, a Triad, to decide who should control Skaara's body. Klorel was represented by Zipacna, while Skaara was defended by SG-1. The SG team succeeded in defending Skaara ,and the Goa'uld symbiote was separated from his body. It is unknown what happens to Klorel afterwards, but Skaara returned to Abydos. [5]
Skaara met SG-1 one final time over three years later. As Jack O'Neill had been contacted by the Ascended Daniel Jackson, who informed him that Anubis is on his way to Abydos to search for the Eye of Ra, the team visited the planet again to defend itfrom the System Lord.
Skaara helped the team search for the Eye and to defend them from Anubis' Jaffa. However, he was critically wounded during the firefight. When it appeared that he would die, he was Ascended by Oma Desala. He finally reappeared before SG-1 after Anubis attacked Abydos, and informed him that the entire population of Abydos was Ascended by Oma. [6]
[edit] Notes
- Skaara is one of only two characters (the other being his father Kasuf) who are played by the same actor in both the movie and the series.
