List of Tau'ri characters in Stargate SG-1
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the science fiction television shows Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, Tau'ri refers to humans who originated on Earth. Being set on Earth, SG-1 obviously has a large number of Tau'ri characters. As such, this list is not exhaustive, but lists some of the major characters of the series, or those whose role has been significant in any way.

[edit] Jack O'Neill
A United States Air Force officer, Colonel O'Neill led the original mission through the Stargate, and was later leader of SG-1 for eight years. Promoted to Brigadier General, took charge of Stargate Command, until promoted again to Major General and reassigned to Washington (presumably) as Head of Homeworld Security.
[edit] Samantha Carter
A scientist as well as a USAF officer, Captain Carter has been a member of SG-1 from the start, during which time she has seen three promotions to her current rank of (full-bird) Colonel. Currently leader of Atlantis Expedition.

Dr. Janet Fraiser |

Janet Fraiser | |
Race | Human |
Gender | Female |
Rank | Captain/Major |
Birthplace | US, Earth |
Relatives | Cassandra (adopted daughter) Unnamed ex-husband |
Portrayer | Teryl Rothery |
First appearance | "The Broca Divide" |
Dr. Janet Fraiser, played by Teryl Rothery, was Chief Medical Officer of the SGC under Major General Hammond. She held the rank of Captain when she first appeared, and was promoted to Major in Season 3. Prior to joining Stargate Command, Dr. Janet Fraiser served as chief of the Aeromedical Services at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. Her medical education includes a B.A. magna cum laude in chemistry and biology and an M.D. at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. Janet was married before she came to the SGC, but it ended badly. She told Carter that her husband "took the term 'this man's army' a bit literally."
As the Chief Medical Officer of Stargate Command, Dr. Fraiser was responsible for maintaining the health of the SG teams, as well as the SGC's support staff and base personnel. On many occasions Fraiser was also responsible for the health of alien refugees to Earth, including Goa'uld symbiotes. She took the lead role in identifying infectious diseases, which are a constant threat when exploring new worlds, and developed various medical solutions to the problems faced when caring for alien beings. She defended her medical principles as strongly as her patients, sometimes in contradiction to near-term mission goals and regardless of the identity of her patients. Over her years with the SGC, Janet became the foremost expert on Goa'uld symbiotes. She pioneered numerous technological advancements, and became an expert at regulating and administering Tretonin.
Janet Fraiser first appeared in season one, when she endeavored to find a cure to an alien disease that turned humans into caveman-like creatures. She succeeds in developing a cure based on anti-histamine medication both she and Daniel Jackson take for allergies.[1] Later in the season, Dr. Fraiser is one of several women enlisted by then-Captain Carter to capture the Goa'uld queen Hathor from the brainwashed males at the SGC. In this episode, she reveals her ex-husband was a chauvinist, taking the slogan 'this man's army' a little too literally.[2] Soon after, Fraiser adopted Cassandra - an alien orphan whose people had been exterminated by the Goa'uld System Lord Nirrti. Later, in season five, we see more of the relationship between Janet and Cassandra. Strained as it may be, Janet cares for Cassandra as if she were her own daughter.[3][4]
When a film crew comes to document the SGC in late season seven, Fraiser was interviewed for Emmett Bregman's documentary celebrating the 1000th trip through the Stargate. During a shared meal with the documentarian, Fraiser was called away to a medical emergency on P3X-666 where she treated Senior Airman Simon Wells for a staff blast wound. Fraiser was shot by a Jaffa who had penetrated the guards' perimeter - the blast killed her instantly. Dr. Jackson, who had been filming a message for Airman Wells' wife, caught the incident on camera. Her loss greatly affected all SGC personnel, and was noted to the very top of the U.S. Administration as a tragic loss.[5] Airman Wells survived thanks to Dr. Fraiser and named his daughter "Janet" in honor of Dr. Fraiser. Carter spoke at Janet Fraiser's memorial inside the Embarkation Room at Stargate Command:
“ | Janet Fraiser was an extraordinary person. She was kind and funny and talented. Above all, she was courageous. Try as I might, I could not find the words to honour her, to do justice to her life. Thankfully, I got some help. While words alone may not be enough, there are some names that might do. We often talk about those that give their lives in the service of their country, and while Janet Fraiser did just that, that's not what her life was about. The following are the names of the men and women who did not die in service, but who are in fact alive today, because of Janet. Major Samantha Carter. Doctor Daniel Jackson. Colonel Jack O'Neill. Teal'c. Sergeant Connie Smith. Major Ian Hules. Senior Airman Simon Well... (fades) | ” |
Fraiser appeared in an alternate timeline in the future, and as a character from an alternate reality. In the year 2010 (in an alternate timeline), Fraiser and Carter discover a conspiracy on Earth engineered by the Aschen to sterilize the entire population so as to eventually have uncontested control of the planet. In the alternate timeline, Fraiser had become obsolete after the arrival of the Aschen, who brought far more advanced medical technology with them. It is because she still maintains her 'old' equipment that Carter and Fraiser begin to suspect the Aschen are sterilizing the population, and she and SG-1 are eventually able to alter the timeline to prevent the Aschen from gaining a foothold on Earth.[6] Fraiser also returned in season nine, as a parallel universe version of Dr. Fraiser that appears when several SG-1 teams from alternate realities are pulled together; in her reality, she survived the mission and joined SG-1 as a regular member. In an emotional moment, Carter, Jackson and Teal'c are able to say goodbye to her as they could not do before her death.[7]
[edit] George Hammond
An USAF Major General (later Lieutenant General) who commanded Stargate Command for eight years. He replaced Major General West.
[edit] Cameron Mitchell
A USAF Lieutenant Colonel and current leader of SG-1.
[edit] Hank Landry
Major General Landry is the current commander of the SGC.

Jacob Carter in Secrets |
|
Jacob Carter | |
Race | Human |
Gender | Male |
Rank | Major General (Retired) Selmak: Tok'ra High Councillor |
Birthplace | US, Earth |
Relatives | Samantha Carter (daughter), Mark Carter (son), two unnamed grandchildren (1 girl and 1 boy ) |
Portrayer | Carmen Argenziano |
First appearance | "Secrets" |
Last appearance | "Threads" |
General Jacob Carter (Ret.), portrayed by Carmen Argenziano from 1998 to 2005, was a veteran USAF Major General and the widowed father of Samantha Carter and also of a son named Mark. Jacob Carter is a frequently recurring character as the Tok'ra liaison to Earth. Carter was a close friend of General George Hammond and managed to pull strings to have Samantha Carter transferred to NASA, hoping to give Samantha her dream of going to space. (Logically, he did not know of the existence of either the SGC or the Stargate itself.) Samantha had rejected the offer, but was unable to tell him the real reasons behind that decision. When she stated this, Jacob revealed that he was dying of cancer, though it would be months before he would succumb to the illness.
However, this event would have a chance of reversal. Later on, SG-1 became aware of the existence of the Tok'ra. With the memories of Jolinar, Samantha managed to remember where the Tok'ra gated to.
Upon their first meeting, the members of SG-1 were asked if they would be willing to become a host to Selmak, whose host was dying. Samantha suggested that her father could fill this role, thus saving his life and Selmak's, and creating a fragile alliance between the Tau'ri and Tok'ra in the process.
Jacob/Selmak is a member of the Tok'ra High Council. He engages in Tok'ra covert operations and also provides help to Stargate Command when problems arise. As such, he aided the SGC in fighting the phase-shifted Re'tu, aided in the attempted capture and death of the System Lord Seth ("Seth"), helped his daughter devised the Kull Disruptor as invaluable in fighting the army of Kull Warriors that Anubis had created to supersede the Jaffa. ("Death Knell"), and played a key role in retuning the Dakara Superweapon to the right pattern to attack the Replicators ("Reckoning").
He has been on off-world missions with SG-1, and frequently provided valuable knowledge and expertise, including the ability to use a Goa'uld healing device. As the Earth-Tok'ra relations have deteriorated, Jacob/Selmak remained the strongest link between the allies, although Jacob/Selmak were not as influential in the Tok'ra High Council as they had been previously. It was believed by the more cautious elements of the Tok'ra that blending Tau'ri to Tok'ra symbiotes introduced a factor of recklessness, as the Tau'ri lived more freely than other Humans in the galaxy.
Jacob died soon after Selmak passed. ("Threads")
[edit] Chekov
Stargate character | |
---|---|
Colonel Chekov |
|
Chekov | |
Race | Tau'ri |
Gender | Male |
Rank | Colonel |
Birthplace | Russia, Earth |
Portrayer | Garry Chalk |
First appearance | "The Tomb" |
The Russians had a short-lived Stargate program after they found one among the debris of an Asgard mothership that had crashed in the Pacific Ocean [8]. However the program was stopped after their gate unintentionally disrupted the existence of a planet populated by sentient water [9] and instead Col. Chekov was assigned as Russia's liaison to Stargate Command. He first appeared when SG-1, together with a Russian team, went on a mission which went awry and was survived by SG-1 but only one Russian [10]. Among the deceased was Colonel Zukov, a good friend of Chekov; Chekov blamed SG-1 for the death of the team. He appeared two months later when Teal'c was trapped in the Stargate; to free him the SGC required a DHD, one of which Russia possessed, and with the SGC Stargate inoperable while Teal'c was trapped, the SGC needed Russia's permission to use their Stargate to bring the current offworld teams home. After the US agreed to give Russia the technology to build their own Naqahdah generator, Colonel Chekov loaned them the Russian DHD but became furious when the device was destroyed during the rescue operation (Albeit unintentionally) [11].
Around the time when Anubis attacked the SGC with an Ancient weapon, Colonel Chekov was appointed to be the Russian envoy to the SGC. He became angry when he discovered that the SGC had neglected to disclose to Russia information regarding all of the technology they had obtained through the use of the Stargate, particularly the designs and related technologies for the X-302. When it became clear that the Stargate would be destroyed by Anubis' attack, Chekov agreed to let the US have access to the Russian Stargate, but later agreed to give it to the US after the US agreed to pay Russia and give them the X-302 technology, as well as their own SG team [12] (He also attemtped to have a Russian appointed to SG-1 to replace the currently-Ascended Daniel Jackson, but Jack O'Neill selected Jonas Quinn instead).
Later in the same year when the US disclosed the existence of the Stargate to other countries, Colonel Chekov accompanied General Hammond and Major Paul Davis while they presented the program to French, British and Chinese ambassadors. He also convinced the ambassadors to permit the US to retain control over the Stargate, but privately tells the Chinese ambassador that they could have significant technological advantages with the Stargate [13].
Approximately two years later, Colonel Chekov revealed to Brigadier General O'Neill that Russia believed that the US government had been compromised and was being controlled by a Goa'uld and thus the two countries were on the brink of nuclear war. It turned out that General Kiselyev, Russian Defense Minister, was host to a Goa'uld and he was stopped due to Colonel Chekov's cooperation [14], although it was also revealed that ex-Vice-President Robert Kinsey had also become a Goa'uld host.
After the Russians blackmailed the American government into giving them a Daedalus class battlecruiser [15], the Korolev, Chekov was put in command. The ship was sent to stop the Ori fleet from invading the Milky Way. [16] The Korolev was destroyed in the Battle of P3Y-229, but 6 crewmembers, Daniel Jackson and Lt. Col. Cameron Mitchell were able to escape from the ship.
[edit] Paul Davis

Major Paul Davis |
|
Paul Davis | |
Race | Tau'ri |
Gender | Male |
Rank | Major |
Portrayer | Colin Cunningham |
First appearance | "A Matter of Time" |
Davis is stationed at the Pentagon and often helps Stargate Command when they come in conflict with other nations on Earth and other portions of the United States government. He is a person whom SGC can always trust, as he has proven on several occasions.
Davis first appeared when the Stargate made contact with a black hole. During this event he brought General Hammond to a meeting in Washington, D.C. ("A Matter of Time"). Several months later, when SG-1 is captured by Hathor and Hammond starts rescuing missions, Davis has to bring him the bad news that the president will not allow any new missions ("Into the Fire").
Nearly a half year later, Davis is one of people at SGC who is captured by an unknown alien race and impersonated by one of them ("Foothold"). When Thor's ship is take over by Replicators and SG-1 tries to stop them from landing the ship on Earth, Major Davis watches their attempts from SGC ("Nemesis"). When the Replicators later take over a Russian submarine, Major Davis informs SGC about this incident and oversees the actions of SG-1 to destroy the machine bugs ("Small Victories").
Major Davis later helps SGC to rescue Colonel Jack O'Neill and Teal'c, who are captured in the X-301, a modified Goa'uld Death glider ("Tangent"). He also assists Daniel Jackson in negotiations with the Russians for their DHD, so that they can rescue Teal'c. During this time he has a dispute with Daniel over what to give the Russians for the device and was opposed to the idea to give them the technology of a Naqahdah generator ("48 Hours").
Davis finally had the chance to join SG-1 on a mission, when they investigate a Goa'uld mothership, which suddenly appeared in Earth orbit ("Descent"). He also assists SG-1 in their attempt to stop a reporter from exposing their secrets of the new Prometheus project. However when the starship is hijacked by rogue NID agents, he has to negotiate with them ("Prometheus"). He finally works together with General Hammond in presenting the Stargate program to representatives of France, China and the United Kingdom. During this event he also opposes Senator Robert Kinsey's attempts to convince the ambassadors to give the NID control over the program ("Disclosure").
In an alternate timeline, Major Davis is seen recruiting the alternate versions of Daniel Jackson and Samantha Carter for a mission to Ancient Egypt to restore the original timeline SG-1 disrupted in attempt to steal a ZPM from the Goa'uld Ra. Unlike in the main universe, Davis had a moustache. ("Moebius").
In the beginning of Avalon (Part 1), Lt. Col. Cameron Mitchell commented that Major Davis was helping the Jaffa set up a new government based on democratic ideals.
[edit] Louis Ferretti

|
Louis Ferretti | |
Race | Tau'ri |
Gender | Male |
Rank | Senior Airman (in the film) Major (in the television series) |
Birthplace | US, Earth |
Portrayer | Brent Stait French Stewart (film) |
First appearance | "Stargate" |
Louis Ferretti is a member of the United States Air Force and was part of the first expedition that journeyed through the Stargate to Abydos. When Daniel Jackson revealed that he couldn't open the gate to bring them back, Ferretti was furious with him and even scattered Jackson's books over the desert terrain. However, it was this that led to the team making contact with the planet's native humans. Later Ferretti led the forces fortifying the pyramid while Jack O'Neil and Daniel Jackson made contact with the Abydonians. When Ra appeared he fought against his troops and was one of the four survivors of the expedition and, together with Colonel O'Neil and Charles Kawalsky, returned to Earth after Ra's death.
After Apophis attacked Stargate Command, he, together with his former teammates, was questioned by General Hammond. After O'Neill convinced the general to let him go to Abydos, Ferretti again was part of O'Neill's team. However when Apophis also attacked Abydos, Ferretti was severely injured by the Goa'uld's Jaffa but was able to remember the symbols of the planet to which Apophis went - which turned out to be Chulak.
Some time after the death of Charles Kawalsky in "The Enemy Within", Ferretti was put in charge of SG-2. In this position he was ordered by General Hammond to follow SG-1 through the Stargate when they violated orders to save the Earth from a Goa'uld attack in the episode "Within the Serpent's Grasp". Since then he has not made any appearances.
Ferretti was mentioned in season three episode "Shades of Grey" by Jackson, who speculated that Ferretti may become the new leader of SG-1 after O'Neill left the team.
[edit] Walter Harriman
Stargate character | |
---|---|
Walter Harriman | |
Race | Tau'ri |
Gender | Male |
Rank | Master Sergeant/Senior Master Sergeant/Chief Master Sergeant |
Birthplace | Detroit, Michigan, US, Earth |
Portrayer | Gary Jones |
First appearance | "Children of the Gods" |
Walter Harriman is a fictional character in the science fiction television series Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, played by Gary Jones. Walter Harriman is the highest-ranking non-commissioned officer in the Stargate Command, at the rank of Chief Master Sergeant [17]
He specialises in installing, maintaining and repairing bomb navigation, weapons control as well as automatic flight control systems. He is also an expert in radio and navigational equipment, and in maintaining test and precision measurement equipment.
He is primarily a Stargate technician, running the dialing computer and other equipment from the Control Room. He also acts as an occasional administrative assistant to the head of Stargate Command, and has manned the flight console on the bridge of the Prometheus.
This character's name has been a source of confusion for many fans of Stargate SG-1. Originally, he was simply "Technician" or "Sergeant," listed as such in the show credits. At some point, some of the writers gave him the name "Norman Davis", which came with a name tag, but was never used in dialogue. In the episode "2010", Jack O'Neill refers to him as "Walter." On several DVD commentaries after the introduction of the name "Walter," producer/director Peter DeLuise refers to the character as "Walter Norman" and "Walter Norman Davis." Later, in the eighth season of "Stargate SG-1", the character is addressed as "Sergeant Harriman," resulting in the final name of "Walter Harriman." Many fans fondly refer to him as "the Chevron guy" as many of his on-screen appearances, especially earlier on in the show, had him saying "Chevron (insert number here) encoded."
In Season 9 Harriman wears no visible rank, but General Hank Landry refers to Walter as "chief". He also introduces himself to Cameron Mitchell as "Chief Master Sergeant." This would denote he had been promoted.
Walter is one of four characters to appear in both the pilot and final episode of Stargate SG-1, the others being Daniel Jackson, Samantha Carter and Teal'c.
[edit] Charles Kawalsky

Kawalsky controlled by the Goa'uld |
|
Charles Kawalsky | |
Race | Human |
Gender | Male |
Rank | Lieutenant Colonel (in the film) / Captain / Major (in the television series) |
Birthplace | US, Earth |
Portrayer | Jay Acovone John Diehl (film) |
First appearance | "Stargate" |
Charles Kawalsky was a fictional character from the film Stargate portrayed by John Diehl (Lieutenant Colonel Kawalski), and then the spin-off television series Stargate SG-1 when he was played by Jay Acovone (Captain and Major Kawalski). Despite dying in the second episode of SG-1, Kawalsky remained an infrequent recurring character, the team encountering alternate and virtual reality versions of him on three occasions.
Kawalsky was recruited for the first Stargate mission to Abydos. He again worked with Jack O'Neill, this time helping him to free the people on the planet from the Goa'uld System Lord Ra. His experience during his first mission made him a natural choice to rejoin the programme once it was fully reactivated. Unfortunately, it was on his mission to Chulak that eventually led to Kawalsky's death.
In Stargate, Lieutenant Colonel Kawalsky served under Jack O'Neill on the mission to Abydos, generally serving as O'Neill's second-in-command. Kawalsky became very angry when he discovered Daniel Jackson did not have what he needed to reopen to Stargate. However he later changed his view on the Doctor not only because Daniel was able to bring them home but also because he saved them from Ra. He, along with Feretti, survived to return to Earth and together with his teammates decided to keep silent about what really happened during the mission.
When the Goa'uld Apophis attacked SGC, Kawalsky, a captain, was brought back together with his former teammates and questioned by General Hammond. However both he and Feretti kept quiet. After Colonel O'Neill convinced the General to let him go to Abydos again, Kawalsky accompanied him to bring back Daniel Jackson. Afterwards he is promoted to major and becomes the leader of the newly formed SG-2, accompanying SG-1 on their mission to Chulak to rescue Sha're and Skaara. On the planet SG-2 guarded the Stargate and provided cover for SG-1 when they fled from the pursuing Jaffa. However before he returns to Earth he is infected with a young Goa'uld from a dead Jaffa.
Back on Earth the symbiote started to take control over the major, resulting in Kawalsky having several blackouts. The SGC tried to surgically remove the Goa'uld from his body and although they were able to remove the symbiote, it turned out only to be a dead husk while the Goa'uld had already taken over Kawalsky's mind. He freed himself and tried to flee from the base, setting off the self-destruct as he dialled the Stargate, but was stopped by Teal'c while the self-destruct was disarmed. They fought in front of the open Stargate and when Teal'c held his head into it, the gate was closed, resulting in Kawalsky's death as the back part of his skull and brain, complete with the Goa'uld, were lost in the event horizon.
Despite his demise in the second episode of the show, Kawalsky still appeared in three more episodes. In "The Gamekeeper", O'Neill and Teal'c encountered Kawalsky in a virtual reality simulation during which O'Neill remembered an earlier mission in his life. In "Point of View", a Kawalsky and Samantha Carter from an alternate reality where the Goa'uld have successfully invaded Earth come into the contact with Stargate Command, but return to their world after SG-1 help them make contact with the Asgard of their universe. Finally in the season 8 finale Kawalsky returns in an alternate timeline accidentally created by SG-1 when they travelled back in time to acquire a ZPM and were trapped in the past with the destruction of their time machine. In a partial mirror to the pilot, Kawalsky accompanies O'Neill, Carter and Daniel to Chulak in part two of "Moebius". In this last appearance, he again meets his end, although here he is merely shot; it is the alternate Daniel Jackson who is infected with the Goa'uld and killed by Teal'c.
[edit] Siler
Stargate character | |
---|---|
Sgt. Siler in Solitudes |
|
Siler | |
Race | Tau'ri |
Gender | Male |
Rank | Technical Sergeant/Master Sergeant/Senior Master Sergeant |
Birthplace | Cincinnati, Ohio, US, Earth |
Portrayer | Dan Shea |
First appearance | "Solitudes" |
Siler is a fictional character in the science fiction television series Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis played by Dan Shea. Along with Sgt. Walter Harriman, he is one of Stargate Command's primary technicians and engineers. Siler can frequently be seen in the background of scenes, carrying an oversized wrench, which is something of a gag prop in the SG-1 series. Siler is sometimes seen handing it over to Martin Wood, who directs for the series.
After intelligence training for the Special Operations Unit, Siler trained as a technician and an engineer, specialising in aerospace vehicle control and warning systems. He was a vital member of his team, responsible for seeking out the location of enemy radar installations, jamming radar and launching counter attacks.
Siler had been a vital part of base operations from the inception of the Stargate Program. At the first possible sign of any Stargate malfunctions at the base, Siler is always on the scene. He is an expert in promptly recharging each individual chevron to its proper power output and activating the Stargate from the central command main computer. He is also responsible for all key functions and can bypass the main programming system if a crisis occurs. Siler is also the maintenance engineer for the Alpha Site, making sure that the SGC have immediate access to the base in the event of a potentially devastating alien attack on Earth.
After General O'Neill and SG-3 saved him and others in Reckoning, he, rather creepily, revealed that O'Neill was already in his will. All O'Neill could say was "Ok, that's... weird."
He also assisted Dr. Rodney McKay in plugging the Zero Point Module (ZPM) in the SGC's power mainframe which enabled the Atlantis expedition led by Elizabeth Weir to reach the Lost City of the Ancient. ("Rising")
Dan Shea, the actor who plays Siler, is also notable as the stunt co-ordinator for Stargate SG-1 and stunt double for Richard Dean Anderson (a role he reprised from the MacGyver TV series), and consequently gets thrown against walls a lot. This is parodied in the 200th episode, when Siler is thrown across the room by an exploding power conduit, and complains, "Why does this always happen to me?".
In Heroes, Siler is seen being used as the 'crash test dummy' for the new armour designed to defend against energy weapons. When the documentary TV crew ask if he will be okay the General assures them that he does this kind of thing all the time. However, he appears in the infirmary later in that episode. There are several other hints throughout the series to Siler's tendency to take an inhuman amount of punishment. These include Teal'c making plans to spar with him, and colliding with Daniel Jackson in Window of Opportunity when Teal'c and Colonel O'Neill are caught in a time loop. He is sometimes seen engaging in technobabble with Samantha Carter, who has mentioned at least once that they were working on motorcycle repairs together.

Major General West was played by Leon Rippy. West headed the USAF's Project Giza (also known as the Stargate Project), the forerunner of the SGC. He oversaw Dr. Catherine Langford's experiments with the Stargate until selecting, recalling, and delegating Colonel Jack O'Neil as military commander when Dr. Daniel Jackson joined the team. Upon the successful connection of the Earth Stargate to Abydos, West immediately militarized the program and locked out most of the civilian team previously under Dr. Langford. He then authorized the initial excursion to Abydos and authored Jack's special orders to destroy the Gate on the other side.
[edit] History
A United States Air Force officer with experience in the Vietnam War and Southeast Asia (Gulf War I), Major General West wears the wings of a senior pilot and a rather uninformative rack of ribbons. He is a qualified expert with small arms and has served at least six months in Vietnam.
He has prior experience with Colonel Jack O'Neill, both trusting his judgment and his military expertise while having enough emotional distance from the man to select him for a suicide mission. He also knew Jack well enough to ask about his wife by name.
The book describes him as a "stern soldier about fifty years old" (putting his birthday around 1940) and states the following:
"Respected and feared by all who served under him, West was famous for three things: for always making the right decisions under pressure, for erupting into superhuman fits of rage when his orders were not executed exactly as he wished, and for being the best damn poker player in any branch of the armed forces."[18]

First appearance | "The Broca Divide" |
Last appearance | "Shades of Grey" |
Colonel Robert F. Makepeace is a character on the science fiction television series Stargate SG-1, played by the actor Steve Makaj.
The long-time commander of Stargate Command's SG-3 Marine unit, Colonel Makepeace would not be considered the friendliest member of the S.G.C. But when it came to getting a job done, the tough and to-the-point Marine completed his missions with a high success rate. For three years he served as the third-highest ranking officer on the base, beneath Colonel Jack O'Neill and General George Hammond.
With help from the Asgard, Makepeace was discovered to be a spy for the rogue N.I.D. group under the command of Colonel Harold Maybourne, who was covertly reverse-engineering stolen alien technologies. Smaller items stolen by the rogue group would be left on a designated world for Makepeace to covertly pick up and pack back to Earth in his gear during routine missions.
O'Neill had Makepeace arrested and charged with high treason against the United States and its allies. He is presumably dishonorbly discharged and serving a prison sentence.

[edit] Daniel Jackson
A brilliant Egyptologist, Dr. Daniel Jackson was shunned by the academic world due to his farfetched theories, but found out they were true when he joined the Stargate project. He was part of the original mission through the Stargate and he's been part of SG-1 since the start.

Gender | Female |
Rank | Chief Medical Officer |
Birthplace | US, Earth |
Relatives | Major General Hank Landry (father) Kim Lam (mother) |
Portrayer | Lexa Doig |
First appearance | "Avalon Part 2" |
Dr. Carolyn Lam is a fictional character in the science fiction television series Stargate SG-1 played by Lexa Doig. She is Stargate Command's current chief medical officer and seemingly the first permanent one since the death of Dr. Janet Fraiser in 2004. She is also the daughter of the SGC's commanding officer, Major General Hank Landry.
Prior to joining Stargate Command, she worked with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; her specialty is infectious diseases.
Doctor Lam has a strained relationship with her father, Major General Hank Landry, who is her commanding officer at the SGC. The "bad blood" between them stems from Lam's resentment of her father not being around during her childhood because of his Air Force duties. In "The Fourth Horseman", the two appeared to reconcile to a certain extent after General Landry apologized for not having been with her when she needed him. Carolyn, her father and her mother Kim Lam, have dinner in the episode "Family Ties".

Bill Lee is a fictional character in the science fiction television series Stargate SG-1, portrayed by Bill Dow. He is a civilian scientist and engineer who works at Stargate Command and is often called upon to work with alien technology.
He appeared a number of times in the series as an unnamed character but achieved significance when he worked with Daniel Jackson on a mission to Honduras to locate the Ancients' healing device, the basis of the Sarcophagus and (as we find out later) the Kull Disruptor. Lee and Jackson entered an ancient series of underground catacombs beneath a waterfall in Honduras and successfully located the Ancients' device, hidden away beneath the floor. He and Jackson barely made it out alive after triggering a booby trap, only to be captured by Honduran terrorists, led by Raphael, and held for ransom.
For days Lee and Jackson remained in captivity. Lee eventually succumbed to electric torture and spilled the truth about the healing device. He and Jackson made their escape out of the back of their wooden cell, only to be chased down by the terrorists. Daniel concealed Lee behind a tree, where he remained hidden until rescued by Jack O'Neill and Burke.
Bill then returned to the SGC to do lab work, and has worked on numerous experiments on the base. Although not quite as brilliant as scientists like Samantha Carter and Rodney McKay, Bill does have his bright spots, such as creating staff weapon-resistant armor and devising a way to relay a warning to Atlantis.
Bill is a fan of World of Warcraft and was seen working with Dr. Samantha Carter at Midway Station, presumably refining the computer systems in place. When Atlantis went missing, Lee and Carter gated to the Pegasus Galaxy from the Midway Station. He was then stationed at Midway, training Kavanagh as his replacement until the midway station was destroyed.[19]

Jay Felger is a fictional character in Stargate SG-1, portrayed by Patrick McKenna. He is a scientist who worked along side SG-1 two times. He has 4 postgraduate degrees.
Felger was first seen in The Other Guys, in which he was conducting research on the Goa'uld ring technology, along with Dr. Coombs and another scientist. He is fascinated with SG-1 and has romantic fantasies about Samantha Carter.
In Avenger 2.0, Felger created a device to scramble the gate coordinates in the Stargates, which was used by Baal to bring the gate network down, if the gates used a DHD. Stargate Command was able to continue using their gate due to their dialling computer to send Felger and Samantha Carter to Baal's planet so they could attempt reverse the damage caused.

First appearance | "Forever In A Day" |
Last appearance | "The First Ones" |
Dr. Robert Rothman is a fictional character in the science fiction television series Stargate SG-1. Prior to joining the SGC, he had been the research assistant to Dr. Daniel Jackson.
His original appearance was in a Hand device-induced delusion of Daniel Jackson, who experienced several illusionary days of life while under the influence of Sha're/Amonet. Within the fantasy, Dr. Robert Rothman was placed on SG-1 after Daniel Jackson resigned from the SGC following Sha're's death. O'Neill did not like him, confiding to Daniel that he was slowing down the unit (though Rothman had been a two-time decathlon champion in college) ("Forever in a Day").
His first appearance in reality was when Daniel had been absorbed by the energy field from a crystal skull on P7X-377. Rothman was tasked with researching the skull in order to discover where Daniel had gone. He was skeptical of the skull's ability as a teleportation device, and was not able to offer much help ("Crystal Skull").
Daniel and Rothman were with SG-11 during an archaeological dig on P3X-888. An Unas had raided the camp, killing one soldier and capturing Daniel. While SG-11 went to search for Daniel, Rothman went back to the SGC to tell them what had happened. A search party consisting of SG-1, SG-2, and Rothman went back to the camp and found a very dazed and confused Maj. Hawkins, who joined the team in the search.
Following a rest break, Teal'c discovered Goa'uld symbiotes in the nearby waters. Because the symbiotes of P3X-888 had no naqahdah in their blood, neither Teal'c nor Carter could sense their presence; thus Teal'c, being the only person that could not be a host, bound the others and left, knowing that if anyone had been taken as a host, they would be able to free themselves. Hawkins quickly broke his restraints and attempted to kill O'Neill, but Teal'c, hiding in nearby brush, killed him first.
Thinking that the rest of the team was symbiote-free, Teal'c released his companions. However, when he got to Rothman, there was blood on Rothman's wrists; Rothman, also a host, then broke his restraints, took Teal'c's staff, and shot Capt. Griff in the shoulder. O'Neill returned fire, killing him ("The First Ones").

Agent Malcolm Barret |
|
Malcolm Barrett | |
Race | Human |
Gender | Male |
Rank | Special Agent in Charge |
Birthplace | US, Earth |
Portrayer | Peter Flemming |
First appearance | "Wormhole X-Treme!" |
Malcom Barrett is an agent of the shadowy intelligence agency know as NID, sent on missions of the utmost importance regarding the internal security of the United States government with regards to the Stargate. In spite of the NID's traditional image of being a dark, shadowy and oily agency, Barrett is an example of the N.I.D.'s upright and legal operations, proving that not all agents under the banner of the organization support its illegal and black-ops projects, incurring a significant amount of risk to his career.
Barrett first appeared in "Wormhole X-Treme". However, he becomes truly significant after Senator Kinsey's apparent assassination by Jack O'Neill. Barrett was called to the White House and given a special assignment, ordered to track down the shadow group pulling the strings behind the N.I.D.'s rogue arm, and bring them to justice. In addition, he was approached by Samantha Carter, who was seeking to exonerate O'Neill. Together, they discover that the rogue NID agents work for a group of powerful businessmen who want to find commercial applications for technologies brought back from other worlds through the Stargate. ("Smoke & Mirrors").
Barrett later appears in "Heroes, Part 2" briefly, to inform Carter that while Richard Woolsey is an honest man, he has a strong dislike for secret military operations such as the SGC. He has a more important role when he assists Carter and Dr. Daniel Jackson interview and inspect a Goa'uld-human hybrid found in a lab in California. ("Resurrection")
In "Ex Deus Machina", Barrett and other NID agents assisted Samantha Carter and Daniel Jackson in the search for Ba'al.
He later warned General Landry that The Trust has infiltrated a lower-level operative into the Atlantis mission who has planted a bomb to destroy the city, set to be detonated the next time Atlantis dials Earth ("Critical Mass").
Barrett has a personal interest in Samantha Carter and, when she ended her engagement to her crushed fiance, eventually managed to work up the nerve to make an advance. However, he was quickly rejected by Carter because she was still struggling to come to terms with her own feelings towards now-General O'Neill (Although since nothing was specifically confirmed it may be that she has feelings for somebody else).
Agent Barrett arrived at the SGC with instructions to take a number of Ba'al clones for interrogation at NID headquarters, due to brainwashing by operatives of the Trust, he inadvertently assisted Ba'al and his clones in escaping from the SGC with a copy of the Ancient Stargate map, and may also be responsible for informing Ba'al about the transporter-jamming technology employed in the SGC base. ("Insiders") He is mentioned in the following episode ("Uninvited") as heading up an investigation into a stolen Sodan Cloak, the brainwashing having been defeated.
At several points in the sister series Atlantis, Barrett is seen liasing with Expedition team members while they work on Earth, such as tracking down Jeannie Miller when she is kidnapped.

Portrayer | Ronny Cox |
First appearance | "Politics" |
Key episodes | "Chain Reaction" "Smoke & Mirrors" "Inauguration" "Full Alert" |
From 1996 through 2003, Senator Robert Kinsey held the position of chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee. Kinsey oversaw allocation of federal funds to various different government agencies, departments and organizations on an annual basis. As such, Kinsey is also one of Congress' leading overseers of the national defence budget. As Chairman of the Defense Appropriations Sub-Committee, he has taken a particularly special interest in - and meticulously tracked - defence requirements and spending, particularly for secret projects such as the Stargate Program.
Senator Kinsey first appeared in the episode "Politics", where he managed to shut down Stargate Command briefly, ignoring warnings of an imminent Goa'uld invasion and believing that Earth's current technological level would be adequate to fend off a direct attack. Although the program is later restarted, he stays as one of the show's main antagonists, trying first to shut down the program and later to take control over it.
It is later revealed that he was involved with the NID, a government agency that provides civilian oversight of top secret military operations. Kinsey and the NID appeared hell-bent on shutting down the Stargate program, citing its cost and ineffectiveness in defeating the Goa'uld, though SG-1 has learned that the NID's true motive is to exploit the alien technology that could be obtained through the Stargate.
In "Chain Reaction" he sought to use the NID to control the Stargate by blackmailing General Hammond into retirement, but his replacement was a very military-minded General whose actions resulted in the destruction of a planet and nearly led to the destruction of Earth from the radiation generated by the explosion. Thanks to investigation by Jack O'Neill, he was implicated in Harry Maybourne's illegal offworld operation, but got away scot-free by allowing General George Hammond to retake command of the SGC.
In "2001" Kinsey was interested in making an alliance with the Aschen to gain prestige- unconcerned about the Aschens' insistence that the Stargate be made public so they can make a deal with all of Earth's people- and even stops Col. O'Neill (who wants to stop this alliance because there is something strange about the Aschen) from reaching the White House. Nevertheless, after Daniel Jackson and Teal'c discover evidence of the Aschens' true motives (To sterilize most of Earth's population and use the remaining few as servants), the alliance fails, which infuriates Kinsey (It is worth noting that in the alternate reality witnessed in "2010", where the alliance went ahead, Kinsey achieved his goal of the presidency, but that timeline was erased by the actions of SG-1 after they learned the truth).
About one year later NID agent Malcolm Barrett coerced Kinsey into spying on the group controlling the rogue NID, known as "the Committee"; this is a cabal made up of international businessmen who, through various means, have learned of the Stargate's existence and hope to acquire alien technology for financial gain. Soon thereafter, the Committee tries to assassinate Kinsey and frame Col. O'Neill for his murder; however, their plan failes, as Kinsey survives the bullet, while Barret and the SGC together apprehend the Committee (Although O'Neill was far from happy at having to subequently shake Kinsey's hand for the press).
Kinsey's ambition was to become President, and he was made Vice-President in the episode "Inauguration". Soon after, he tried again to take control of the Stargate program, trying to convince President Henry Hayes that the current leadership was a threat to national security. This attempt was foiled when NID Agent Richard Woolsey obtained incriminating evidence against him from General Hammond and gave it to President Hayes. When Elizabeth Weir took command of the SGC, Kinsey tried to sway her to his side, but she soon realised that he was out for himself. During Anubis attack on Earth, Kinsey tried to relieve Weir of command after she refused to allow him through the Stargate to escape Earth's destruction. Hayes, fed up with Kinsey, "accepted" his resignation.
In "Full Alert", the SGC convinces Kinsey to go undercover, wearing a concealed transmitter, in an attempt to flush out and capture the hierarchy of the Trust. Unfortunately, during the meeting, the Trust reveals that they care nothing for a meeting with any Russian officials, and have something completely unconnected - and thoroughly horrible - planned for Kinsey. His transmitter suddenly dissolves into static and, when the SGC soldiers stationed nearby storm the building, the entire Trust membership is gone. It is only later that they learn that the Trust has been completely infiltrated by the Goa'uld, taken through their operatives which had operated outside of the solar system, and they have, in fact, implanted a symbiote within Kinsey and are using him in their plans to start a nuclear war between the US and Russia. Kinsey vanished while attempting to flee aboard an Al'kesh after the SGC foiled the attempt; though the Al'Kesh was destroyed, it is not known if Kinsey died, as he was seen operating a transport device moments before the ship exploded.

Harold "Harry" Maybourne | |
Race | Tau'ri |
Gender | Male |
Rank | Colonel |
Birthplace | United States, Earth |
Portrayer | Tom McBeath |
First appearance | "Enigma" |
Maybourne was introduced as a character with ambiguous morals and loyalties. Maybourne was a pivotal member of the NID, and early on, this put him at odds with the members of SG-1. Initially, he was portrayed as a mysterious and ruthless figure, but later became more of a comic foil for Jack O'Neill. In his early appearances, after ceasing to be an antagonist, he usually acted as a provisional ally to SG-1, however it was implied that he was generally looking out for himself. Jack was able to get him out of jail once, and it is likely that primarily because of this, over time Harry began to feel that it would be more beneficial to him to serve SG-1 rather than attempt to oppose them.
Colonel Maybourne first appeared in the season one episode "Enigma" attempting to gain advanced technology from the Tollan, an alien offshoot of humanity that possessed technology above even the Goa'uld. Maybourne had the Tollan forcibly held at the SGC, and prevented them from leaving through the Stargate until SG-1 intervened. In season 2, the now-Colonel Maybourne led an NID attempt to claim Teal'c for study when Teal'c had been infected by an alien insect in the episode "Bane" for study. The following year, in "Foothold" Maybourne helped Major Carter thwart the plan of an alien species to take over Stargate Command and, eventually, the entirety of the Earth.
As a member of the NID, Maybourne also lead several rogue NID operations to acquire alien technologies in a more ruthless manner than the SGC. As part of these operations his people stole several alien devices with the help of Col. Makepeace of Stargate Command. Maybourne eventually had Col. O'Neill join his group of off-world thieves, believing that the Colonel had been forced to retire because of his beliefs that the SGC was working too slowly. However, the entire situation had been concocted by the SGC in order to draw out the Earth-bound leaders of the rogue thieves. His activities were thwarted and the operation closed down. Because of this his military career was finished and Maybourne fled to Russia, where he leaked critical information which aided the Russian Stargate Program. Later he was caught, convicted of treason, and placed on death row.
Maybourne was later contacted by O'Neill after General Hammond had been blackmailed into resigning from his position. Together, they learned that Senator Kinsey was heavily involved with rogue NID operations were able to use this information to get Hammond reinstated. In light of this information, Maybourne also had himself transferred to a nicer facility, from which he promptly escaped. He later again helped O'Neill when businessman Adrian Conrad kidnapped Carter in order to extract information from her about Goa'uld symbiotes. During this operation it was revealed that Maybourne was the one who acquired the symbiote from the Russians. A short time later Maybourne again helped O'Neill when Teal'c was stuck in the Stargate. Together the two revealed that Col. Frank Simmons caught the Goa'uld who took control over Adrian Conrad and also found a way to rescue Teal'c.
Over a year later, Maybourne tricked SG-1 into taking him offworld. He convinced them he could deliver powerful weapons, the same weapons Col. Frank Simmons hijacked the Prometheus to collect, in exchange for a Presidential pardon. He was secretly searching for a Utopian paradise, set up by the Furlings, which turned out to have been destroyed long ago by the Goa'uld. Together with Jack he was then trapped on that world and grew increasingly paranoid, affected by a particular plant that the Goa'uld had smuggled into the colony, and was nearly killed by O'Neill when the two were driven to violence. Maybourne and Jack were eventually rescued by the Tok'ra with the help of Major Carter.
Maybourne was exiled by the Tok'ra to a far-off planet. Two years later, SG-1 was sent to recover him, hoping to prevent him from falling into the hands of the Goa'uld System Lord Ares. Maybourne had deciphered some Ancient writing on a temple, which apparently pertained to the future, allowed him to predict enough of the planet's near-future to proclaim himself a prophet. He became the ruler of the local peoples, King Arkhan I, and led a life of leisure. He also used his technological expertise to improve the standard of life for his people, building a new aqueduct and irrigation systems. When the truth about the source of his knowledge was finally revealed, the people chose to overlook his deception. Ares was prevented from enslaving the planet, and defeated by means of an Ancient Puddle Jumper equipped with a time machine. This craft was the source of the prophetic writings Maybourne had discovered. SG-1 returned to Earth, but Maybourne remained with the people that he had grown to love.

First appearance | "Ascension" |
Last appearance | "Prometheus" |
Col. Simmons became the NID liaison to Stargate Command after Col. Harry Maybourne was arrested for treason. He was introduced in episode 5:03, "Ascension". Simmons was notorious for always claiming to have the best interest of the nation at heart, while really he has his own political agenda. He was constantly trying to paint the SGC personnel as incompetent; when SG-1 was briefly brainwashed into believing that an alien was actually a fifth member of SG-1 ("The Fifth Man"), he accused Samantha Carter of having questionable loyalties due to her relationships with Narim and Orlin, Daniel Jackson of being sympathetic to the Goa'uld, and Teal'c of still being loyal to the Goa'uld (Teal'c pointed out that, if such was the case, he would have killed Simmons where he stood).
In episode 5:11, "Desperate Measures", Simmons shoots Col. Jack O'Neill in the back while O'Neill was attempting to capture a Goa'uld who has taken Adrian Conrad as host. In episode 5:14, "48 Hours", the SGC enlisted the help of Col. Maybourne in order to find a way to fix a malfunction that has trapped Teal'c. It is then realized by the SGC that Simmons was behind the disappearance of the Adrian Conrad Goa'uld and that he was holding it captive. After General George Hammond learned of this, he had Simmons arrested.
In episode 6:11, "Prometheus", rogue NID agents hijack the unfinished starship Prometheus. In addition, they take Major Samantha Carter, Jonas Quinn, and a reporter named Julia Donovan hostage. They threaten to overload the hyperdrive, which would create a massive explosion. Their demands were that Simmons, along with Adrian Conrad's Goa'uld, be released. Col. O'Neill and Maj. Paul Davis agree and had Simmons and Conrad board the Prometheus. Despite Simmons' tale of how he was acting in the interested 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 get on board. In the meantime, the Goa'uld attacked Simmons. Conrad is killed, but the Goa'uld is able to infect Simmons. He got into a fight with O'Neill, but O'Neill was able to open an emergency outer door and release Simmons into the vacuum of space, effectively killing him.

Colonel Paul Emerson first appeared in the episode "Off the Grid", in which he is introduced as the commander of the Odyssey, a human-built deep space carrier of the Daedalus class. General Landry contacted Emerson to rescue SG-1 which was stranded on a planet on which the Stargate was beamed away. Although during this time only 90% of the ship's systems were operating Emerson accepted the mission and ordered his ship to fly to the planet. Thanks to new locator chips implants Emerson is able to beam SG-1 on board with the Asgard beaming device. Afterwards he briefs the team about the situation that Ba'al is stealing Stargates. The Odyssey then plays a critical role in taking back all the stolen Stargates which they beam back from Ba'al's ship.
In the next episode "The Scourge", he again rescues SG-1 and a team of the IOA from the planet with the Gamma Site, when the team is attacked by carnivorous bugs. Thanks to the locator chips all members of the team and the IOA can be beamed aboard safe.
In the last episode of the Ninth Season "Camelot", Emerson still commands the Odyssey and again rescue SG-1, this time from a planet on which they suppose an anti-Ori weapon. Afterwards the Odyssey departs for the Ori Supergate, through which the evil ascended beings want to send their fleet to the Milky Way galaxy. The ship then teams up with many other ships of the Jaffa, the Asgard and even the Lucian Alliance to battle the Ori battlecruisers which come through the gate. Although the Odyssey's Asgard shield withstand the weapon fire of the Ori ships, the mighty weapons nevertheless damage the ship. There was some speculation that the Ori had deliberately left the Odyssey intact to act as a witness to the battle and help spread word of the Ori force's unstoppable power.
Emerson continued to serve as the commander of the Odyssey in the Tenth Season. However, he was killed by Solek under orders from Anateo, a rogue member of the Lucian Alliance who captured the Odyssey in the hopes of overthrowing the Alliance's leader Netan in the episode "Company of Thieves".

First appearance | "New Order Part 2" |
Last appearance | "Ethon" |
Colonel Lionel Pendergast was an USAF officer who replaced Colonel William Ronson as commander of the Earth vessel Prometheus. Following Anubis's destructive assault on Earth, Pendergast and the Prometheus were given the uneasy charge of patrolling the planet for fear of Goa'uld aftershocks following the battle. [20]
Pendergast intercepted Thor's Asgard mothership Daniel Jackson when it arrived in Earth's solar system, at first believing it to be a possible threat.
He later faced a Trust-controlled Al'kesh, that he eventually destroyed.[21]
Some time later he ordered the search of Osiris's cloaked Al'kesh in orbit of the planet. When General O'Neill became hesitant he had no choice but to not fire back, but his crew managed to transport the Stargate and SG-1 aboard before the enemy vessel entered hyperspace. [22]
The following year, Pendergast was sent to pick up SG-1 on P4C-452 and head to Kallana to deliver a Mark IX warhead to an Ori beachhead. He maintained the ship's position when the Jaffa Gerak and a fleet of his motherships arrived to assault the force field, and when the Ori attempted to initialize their Supergate. [23]
Pendergast went down with his ship when negotiations with the Rand Protectorate of Tegalus failed. President Nadal of Rand used his Ori satellite weapon to attack Prometheus in orbit. Pendergast remained aboard to beam his crew off the ship, and died in the process. He was responsible for saving 76 lives. [24]

First appearance | "Avalon Part 1" |
Kevin [25] Marks was a USAF officer aboard the Prometheus until its destruction. After the ship's destruction in "Ethon" he becomes a Bridge officer onboard Odyssey. He later transfers to a similar position onboard the Apollo (Atlantis - "Be All My Sins Remember'd"), although whether this is a permanent assignment remains unvealed. Marks is a diligant officer and one of the fastest promoted cast members on Stargate franchise. On the episode "Company of Thieves" he tells Daniel Jackson that he only has to push a button to fire railguns and other weapons. He is played by Martin Christopher.
Lieutenant Marks first appeared in "Avalon" as an officer onboard Prometheus, helping Lt. Colonel Mitchell and SG-1 locate and gain access to the Ancient stronghold at Avalon. It was he who discovered the Ancient Communications Terminal among the treasures Merlin left behind. Marks was serving on the bridge of Prometheus during the Kalana mission ("Beachhead") and the subsequent search for Gerak's hidden mothership in orbit of Earth's moon ("Ex Deus Machina").
Sometime prior to the mission to retrieve Daniel Jackson from Tegalus, Marks had been promoted to Captain. After the Ori satellite weapon attacked, causing serious damage, Colonel Pendergast ordered him to assist Lt. Colonel Carter in making repairs to the engines. En route, Marks broke his arm when another blast rocked the ship and caused him to fall down a maintenance ladder. Eventually realising that the ship was lost, he and Carter attempted to supply enough power to the Asgard transporters in order to evacuate as many crewmembers as possible to the planet.
Following the ship's destruction and the crew's return to Earth, Marks was transferred to the newly completed Odyssey and promoted to Major (Off the Grid). As the highest ranking among bridge personnel, Major Marks is effectively executive officer while there are no higher ranking officers present (for example, Lt. Colonel Carter assumed command of the Odyssey after rogue Lucian Alliance agents executed Colonel Emerson, superseding Marks). In spite of this in that episode he deferred to Dr. Daniel Jackson for commands. He has seen action in the battle of P3Y-229 ("Camelot") and participated in various other operations ("The Scourge", "Flesh and Blood", "Talion", "Unending").
Marks' last apparent mission onboard the Odyssey was the mission to retrieve the Ark of Truth from the Ori Home Galaxy (Stargate: The Ark of Truth) before taking a similar bridge position onboard the Apollo. He was present at the ship's bridge during the joint Tau'ri/Wraith/Traveller assault on the Asuran home fleet.

Nicholas Ballard | |
Race | Human |
Gender | Male |
Birthplace | Netherlands, Earth |
Relatives | Daniel Jackson (Grandson) |
Portrayer | Jan Rubes |
First appearance | "Crystal Skull" |
Nicholas Ballard is a fictional character on the television series Stargate SG-1. He was portrayed by actor Jan Rubes.
In the Stargate universe, he is a noted archaeologist and grandfather of Dr. Daniel Jackson, who followed in his footsteps. According to Daniel, he was not the greatest of grandfathers, and insisted he call him "Nick," even when Danny was a boy. Because of Ballard's busy explorations, he never had the time to stop and take the orphaned Jackson under his wing, something he would later regret.
Ballard had always been interested in the Fountain of Youth mythology, and made attempts to uncover the truth as to its origins. In 1971 he embarked upon an expedition to Belize and made a remarkable discovery inside a secure structure: a crystal skull. While looking into its eyes he was surrounded by a neutrino spike which enveloped him and transported him, unknowingly, to P7X-377 where he would see (what he would later coin) giant aliens. In shock, Ballard found himself unable to speak. Thus, the creatures sent him back. He took the skull and climbed out of the pit before it collapsed.
Neither Nick nor anyone else was able to explain how the skull was carved from a single piece of crystal against the grain given the technology of the day. He tried for years under controlled conditions to make the skull reproduce its effect, but eventually gave up. With no one believing his wild stories about teleportation to great places and seeing large, vaporous beings, Nick had himself committed to a psychiatric institute in Oregon. Daniel was a regular visitor there until he disappeared on a journey of his own in the mid 1990's.
When Jackson went missing, SG-1 paid a visit to Nick at the institution and brought him to the SGC. Through communication via an out-of-phase Daniel Jackson (who could be seen by Nick because of a similar experience on 377), General Hammond was convinced to send Ballard through the Stargate to the place he saw. This time the team interacted with the beings and the aliens, who recognized Ballard, encouraging him to remain as Earth's representative. Ballard, unlike the others, had already journeyed to the world long ago. SG-1 left Nick to remain on the planet to teach, and learn from, these beings.
Ballard also features in the SG-1 Fandemonium Press book City of the Gods by Sonny Whitelaw.

Birthplace | USA, Earth |
Portrayer | Bill Marchant |
First appearance | "Desperate Measures" |
Last appearance | "Prometheus" |
Adrian Conrad (Bill Marchant) was a wealthy business man suffering from an incurable terminal illness and 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.
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.

President Hayes in Inauguration |
|
Henry Hayes | |
Race | Human |
Gender | Male |
Rank | President of the United States |
Birthplace | US, Earth |
Portrayer | William Devane |
First appearance | "Inauguration" |
Henry Hayes is the President of the United States in the fictional Stargate universe, inaugurated in the year 2004.
President Hayes first appears in the season seven episode Inauguration, when he has his first day as President of the United States. During this time he is informed about the Stargate program, however it makes him angry that his Vice President, Robert Kinsey, knew about it and he did not. Kinsey uses this chance to inform the president about several problems at Stargate Command and tells him to remove the current leadership, namely General George Hammond and SG-1. In the following days he is presented with problems about SGC, collected by NID-agent Richard Woolsey, while General Francis Maynard, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, tries to defend Hammond and his team. Although Hayes is unfazed by Kinsey's attacks on the SGC's credibility, not accepting Kinsey's claims of complete incompetence and willful treason, he recognizes that Woolsey made some valid points. However, throwing a new variable into the complicated situation, Woolsey then delivers a computer disk to the President with incriminating information about Robert Kinsey; throwing even his legitimate complaints into a new light.
Nevertheless, after SG-1 finds a Repository of the Ancients, Hayes decides to remove General Hammond from command and selects Dr. Elizabeth Weir as his successor; believing that a civilian with expertise in international diplomacy would be the perfect candidate to handle the delicate international situations that arose whenever the Stargate was concerned. Afterwards, he meets with General Hammond where it is revealed that they both knew each other in the 1960s, when they both were Lieutenants in the United States Air Force. General Hammond seems to bear no ill-will towards the President for removing him from command, and seems to briefly unofficially join his staff as an advisor on matters pertaining to the Stargate. When the Goa'uld Anubis attacked the Earth in Lost City, he spoke with a hologram of the System Lord where he attempted to bluff Anubis into (hopefully) surrendering or (likely) hesitating. Afterwards, during the actual invasion, he appointed Hammond to command of the Prometheus and, when evacuation to the Alpha Site began, decided to stay on the Earth and continue to support to the defense of the planet. Kinsey, who did not share either the President's courage or faith in SG-1, attempted to evacuate the planet and quickly fled to the SGC. However, Anubis quickly took steps to make sure that there was no off-world travel through the Earth's Stargate and, when Dr. Weir determined that activating the Stargate to evacuate Kinsey was low on the list of priorities, he attempted to remove her from command. Hayes, long since fed up with Kinsey's 'Holier than thou' attitude, forced Kinsey to resign (using the information delivered to him through Agent Woolsey) and returned command of the SGC to Dr. Weir.
After Anubis was defeated he put Jack O'Neill in command of the SGC and selected Dr. Elizabeth Weir as the leader of the Atlantis expedition. His first official visit to the SGC was in the episode Zero Hour although he arrived at the very end of the episode and was not actually seen.
He is mentioned again in the episode Bad Guys where he and other members of The Pentagon are briefed by Lieutenant Colonel Samantha Carter on the consequences of revealing the Stargate program to the public as she experienced in the alternate reality where Earth was besieged by the Ori seen in The Road Not Taken.
Devane will return as Hayes in Stargate: Continuum.

Catherine Langford | |
Race | Human |
Gender | Female |
Birthplace | Unknown |
Portrayer | Elizabeth Hoffman (younger versions by Nancy McClure and Glynis Davies) Viveca Lindfors (younger version by Kelly Vint) (film) |
First appearance | "Stargate" |
Catherine was present at the excavation of the Stargate, where she acquired an amulet depicting the Eye of Ra, which she still wore in old age; however, she gave it to Daniel Jackson when he first went through the Stargate to Abydos. In the early 1940s, her father and her fiancé, Ernest Littlefield, did experiments on the Stargate. She was not involved in these, though she overheard conversations about their progress.
In 1945, they finally managed to open the Stargate and Ernest volunteered to be the one sent through it. Ernest vanished and was presumed lost until he was discovered by the SG-1 team fifty years later. His disappearance was enough to shut down the Stargate program. It took Catherine forty years to start up the program again, and by then, the knowledge of how to open the gate had been lost.
In the mid-1990s, she discovered Daniel Jackson and recognized his abilities. Daniel managed to figure out how to open the Stargate again and was sent through with the team led by Jack O'Neill. About a year and half later, after Catherine had retired, Daniel came back to her with old footage from the experiments done in 1945.
Catherine recognized the man sent through the gate as Ernest and realized her father had lied to her about Ernest dying in an accident. Catherine accompied SG-1 on their mission to discover if Ernest was still alive. Despite many setbacks, the mission was ultimately successful.
Catherine Langford's death was announced in the eighth-season episode "Moebius, Part 1". Langford's personal collection of documents and artifacts -including the golden medallion of Ra -relating to the Stargate program was passed on to Daniel Jackson after her death.
In the episode "There But For the Grace of God", Daniel Jackson discovered that in an alternate universe, he refused Catherine's offer to work on the Stargate and that she continued to head the program after the creation of the SG teams. In the episode "1969", a middle-aged version of the character was portrayed by Glynis Davies.

Ernest Littlefield | |
Race | Human |

Portrayer | Keene Curtis Paul McGillion (younger version) |
First appearance | "The Torment of Tantalus" |
Dr. Ernest Littlefield first appeared in the episode "The Torment of Tantalus" and is credited for both discovering the fact that the symbols on the Stargate are actually coordinate inputs and for being the first human to have travelled through the Stargate since the Ancient Egyptians buried it. He was the fiancé of Dr. Catherine Langford, who was the daughter of his colleague, Professor Langford. In the 1940s, Ernest and the professor were part of the team that experimented on the Stargate. When the team managed to create an active wormhole in 1945, Ernest was sent through the event horizon wearing a pressurized suit and tied to a lifeline. When he went through the gate, however, the wormhole disengaged (which is now known to be normal wormhole behavior, but which was seen at the time as failure of the Stargate), cutting off his lifeline and stranding him on a distant planet for the next fifty years. Subsequently, all further Stargate experimentation was halted and all related information was swept under the carpet by its overseers.
Half a century later, Daniel Jackson, of the newly formed Stargate Command, discovered tapes and other released documents from The Pentagon that detailed the Stargate experiments in the 1940s, and was able to deduce the Stargate address of the planet where Littlefield went to from the old footage. He, together with SG-1 and Dr. Langford, traveled through the Stargate to retrieve the now-aged Ernest Littlefield.
After finding Littlefield alive, SG-1 soon realized why he couldn't get home. The DHD has been damaged. While the others try to repair it, Dr. Littlefield gives his diary to Dr. Daniel Jackson and informs him that the palace (called Heliopolis) was once the meeting place of the Four Great Races, and shows Daniel a holographic 'book' device he has found. Meanwhile, Carter comes up with a solution: catch a lightning bolt and use it to power the Stargate. This proves successful, and Dr. Littlefield happily ends his 52 year exile.
Now safely back in the SGC, the team tries to dial Heliopolis again, but are unsuccessful. Apparently, the storm they used to such great effect has destroyed the palace and buried the gate. However, Ernest's personal notes from his period at that world are safe at the base and contain valuable information.
It is unclear what happens to Dr. Littlefield after the end of the episode, but seven years later, when Dr. Catherine Langford dies, he was nowhere to be seen at her funeral.

Race | Human |
ATA | Natural carrier |
Gender | Male |
Birthplace | Loki's laboratory |
Relatives | Jack O'Neill (clone of) |
Portrayer | Michael Welch |
First appearance | "Fragile Balance" |
Young Jack O'Neill is a clone of then Colonel Jack O'Neill created by the renegade Asgard scientist Loki in the hopes of finding a solution to the problem of diminished returns that his people had been encountering with their cloning system.
Loki believed that because O'Neill was able to use the information contained in the Ancients' repository of knowledge that had been downloaded into his brain four years before, he is among the most highly evolved humans on Earth. Loki believed O'Neill's feat would have not been possible for any human only one generation ago.
The renegade Asgard captured O'Neill and kept him in stasis aboard his science vessel for seven days. To ensure O'Neill's absence went unnoticed, he created a clone to take his place. Unbeknownst to Loki, Thor had placed a genetic marker in O'Neill's DNA to prevent any tampering. Because of this, the clone (who possessed all of the original O'Neill's knowledge and experience) matured only to a physical age of fifteen years.
The clone, not realising he was in fact a duplicate, sought help from his friends and colleagues at the SGC in "restoring" him to his original age. Tests were run on him and it was soon discovered that he had a flaw in his DNA that would result in his death in less than a week. Having already rejected Jacob Carter's offer to keep him in stasis in the custody of the Tok'ra until a solution could be found, he fled the SGC in frustration. His SG-1 teammates, Dr. Daniel Jackson, Major Samantha Carter and Teal'c, soon found him fishing at a local creek. They informed him that Selmak had discovered his true nature.
A plan was devised to both rescue the original O'Neill and capture Loki. Mostly thanks to the clone, this plan was a complete success. They summoned Thor to Loki's science vessel and asked him to try to correct the flaw in the clone's DNA. Fortunately, he was successful. The Air Force took the clone under their wing to provide for his future and he returned to high school to live his adolescence over again. The two Jack O'Neills agreed not to keep in touch as they felt it would be "weird." The clone has not seemingly had any contact with O'Neill or the other members of SG-1 since then.

Birthplace | US, Earth |
Portrayer | David DeLuise |
First appearance | "Chimera" |
Pete Shanahan is a fictional character in the science fiction television series Stargate SG-1 played by David DeLuise. He is a police detective working in Denver, Colorado, and met Samantha Carter while investigating a case, after Carter's brother set them up. Shortly after meeting each other, Shanahan and Carter developed a romantic relationship.
Pete thinks that he would possibly have ended up in jail, but there was a police officer who helped him set his life right, and Pete entered the police. He is also divorced, since his previous wife could not quite cope with Shanahan's work.
Shanahan was quite curious about the work that Carter was doing, so he contacted an acquaintance in the FBI to run a background check and found out that Carter is associated with a top-secret project, though his friend could not tell him anything specific about what she was involved in. Shanahan followed Carter in an attempt to find out what she is doing, and happened to see Osiris when SG-1 attempted to apprehend her. Shanahan joined the firefight and was lightly injured. Because of that, he was given security clearance and found out the true nature of the Stargate program.
Carter and Shanahan continued to see each other, and Shanahan proposed to marry Carter. She agreed, but after Shanahan had already made wedding arrangements and was ready to buy a house, Carter cancelled the wedding and broke up with him.
