Canon: Teal’c of Chulak

Name: Teal’c

DOB: March 14

Hair: Black

Eyes: Brown

Occupation: Former First Prime of Apophis, member of SG-1

Status: Formerly married to Drey’nauc of Chulak (widowed); now in relationship with Ishta of Hak’tyl

Teal’c was the son of Ronac, First Prime of Cronus. When Teal’c was still a child, his father was sent to an unwinnable battle by Cronus of the Goa’uld. After his Jaffa soldiers lost the battle they never had a chance to defeat, Cronus punished Ronac by executing him in the most slow and torturous way possible- by removing the goa’uld symbiote all adult Jaffa must carry to keep their immune system functional. Ronac died a horrific death and Teal’c and his mother were forced to flee from their home to the world of Chulak, a Jaffa world run by Apophis. Teal’c vowed to train as hard as possible to become the greatest Jaffa warrior and become the First Prime of Apophis, the enemy of Cronus, in hopes of one day avenging his father’s murder.

Teal’c trained hard for many years under the mentorship of Jaffa Master Bra’tac, First Prime of Apophis. When Bra’tac was old and retired, Teal’c was chosen as the new First Prime as had always been his goal. However, Bra’tac suspected the Goa’uld were false gods and instilled this suspicion discretely in his student.

Teal’c married Drey’nauc on Chulak. Due to his success and loyalty to Apophis they were wealthy and granted many privileges on their home world, including social stature and a beautiful home. Some time after they were married, Drey’nauc gave birth to a son who they named Rya’c.

Ten years after Rya’c’s birth, Teal’c was sent to Abydos and to Earth by Apophis, where he was to capture beautiful human women as possible hosts for Apophis’ mate, Amunet. She chose Sha’re of Abydos, Daniel Jackson’s wife. Sha’re’s own brother, Skaara, was chosen as a future host to Apophis’ offspring, Klorel.

As Teal’c watched Apophis order the other Abydonians who had been captured killed, along with SG-1 who had arrived to try to free Sha’re. Teal’c had reached a point where all of the atrocities he had been forced to commit in Apophis’ name could not longer be carried.

Colonel Jack O’Neill looked to him in the chaos. He saw in Teal’c a reluctance to commit anymore senseless murders.

“I can save these people! Help me!”

Teal’c hesitated. To betray Apophis would be the ultimate seal of his fate in believing the Goa’uld were false gods. It would make all his years of service to the Goa’uld meaningless. He would be hunted. His family would be cut off from their people. But he knew the evils the Goa’uld perpetrated throughout the galaxy had to end. He knew them to be false gods. He knew the Jaffa deserved to live free.

“Many have said that...” Teal’c began, as his conviction grew in his heart. “But you are the first I believed could do it!” He threw a weapon to O’Neill and turned on his own men, firing his plasma staff weapon at them. Helping to free the Abydonians, he told O’Neill as they escaped the cell they were held in, “I have nowhere to go.”

“For this, you can stay at my place!” O’Neill invited Teal’c to return to Earth through the Stargate with them. His trust had been earned. Others would take time, but eventually they came to see Teal’c for his sincere desire to overthrow the Goa’uld and earn freedom for all Jaffa.

At first, Drey’nauc was angry that Teal’c had left Chulak to fight alongside the Tau’ri (earth humans) and put them in a perilous situation. However, she came to see that he was right about the Goa’uld and their need for freedom. Ultimately, when her Primt’a (larval goa’uld) came to maturity she refused another, which cost her her life. Rya’c briefly blamed Teal’c for his mother’s death, but Bra’tac and Teal’c were able to make him see that Jaffa no longer would be slaves to the Goa’uld.

Teal’c and SG-1 brought down Apophis, Heru-ur, Setesh, Hathor, Osiris, Sokar, Tanith, and other Goa’uld. They also defeated Cronus, which gave Teal’c the vengeance he had long sought for his father.

It was several years after he left the service of Apophis that Teal’c was the first Jaffa to give up his symbiote and replace its support with a medication known as Tretonin, engineered from the bloodline of the Tok’ra queen, biologically identical to the Goa’uld but without their inherent lust for power and evil. He began spreading the news of Tretonin to other Jaffa, when he met Ishta of Hak’tyl, a Jaffa world inhabited only by the female Jaffa of Moloc, in secret. Moloc had ordered all female Jaffa born on his worlds put to death at birth, but Ishta had organized a secret sect of Jaffa priestesses to help bring the female children to this unmonitored world.

At first, Teal’c and Ishta clashed over some differences in their approaches. Ishta was primarily focused on destroying Moloc, while Teal’c recognized all Goa’uld must fall for all Jaffa to be free. Ultimately, they personally killed Moloc together and Ishta joined forces with Teal’c and Bra’tac to bring about the end of Jaffa enslavement.

Finally, Teal’c decided on a decisive and risky final move. They would siege the temple of Dakara, a world held as sacred for the place the Goa’uld had first branched Jaffa bloodlines away from humans and made them biologically dependent oh symbiotes. This was revered as the place where the first Primt’a ceremony had occurred. Seizing this temple after decimating the System Lords’ ranks would be a decisive victory, if they survived.

The rebel Jaffa gathered on Dakara and with the help of SG-1 and the Tok’ra Selmak (whose host was Jacob Carter, Colonel Samantha Carter’s father), were able to use a weapon left there ages ago by the Ancients (Alterans) to win control of the temple once and for all, driving out the remaining efforts of Ba’al and Anubis, the last Goa’ulds with any real hope of crushing the rebellion.

Canon: Daniel Jackson

DANIEL’S BLOG

Name: Daniel Jackson

DOB: July 8

Hair: Brown

Eyes: Blue

Occupation: Archeologist, member of SG-1

Status: Single/widowed

Daniel is the grandson of renowned archeologist Dr. Nicholas Ballard, and son of Melburne and Claire Jackson, who were also highly respected in the field until their death in a freak accident while helping set up a display of ancient artifacts, including several large building stones, when Daniel was eight years old. Ballard opted not to adopt his young grandson after the death of his daughter and son-in-law, and Daniel grew up in foster homes.

Daniel became an archeologist and, like his grandfather, who claimed to have found a crystal skull capable of transporting him to another world to meet “giant aliens” Daniel had claims that quickly had him dismissed and mocked by the scientific community. Believing the artifacts of Ancient Egypt to be much older than conventionally accepted, he theorized that the pyramids might be landing pads for alien spacecraft. His beliefs were proven true when Dr. Catherine Langford contacted him about a discovery made by her father in 1928. A massive ring marked with unusual symbols, and an item inscribed with a mix of hieroglyphs and symbols never seen before.

Daniel was able to decipher that the symbols on the ring corresponded with stellar constellations, and the symbols on the carved tablet were an address to enter into it. And thus, the Stargate Program was conceived.

The only address that seemed to work led to a desert world inhabited by Berber-like people. This world, called Abydos, became Daniel’s home for the next year, where he married Sha’re, the daughter of the village elder, Yusef. Daniel, along with Colonel Jack O’Neill, had helped the Abydonians overthrow the Goa’uld and Jaffa who had kept them enslaved for generations.

Eventually, the gate opened again and Jaffa came through. The Goa’uld, Ra, who O’Neill and Daniel had helped kill a year ago was dead, but his son Apophis remained. He wanted a new host for his mate, Amunet.

The Jaffa took several Abydonians captive, including Sha’re, who was eventually chosen as Amunet’s new host. Daniel joined up with O’Neill again, along with Captain Samantha Carter, to form the flagstaff team of the Stargate Program to help fight the Goa’uld, who had now become a significant threat to earth.

During their raid to free the Abydonians, Jack, Daniel and Sam were captured. But Jack took a huge gamble when he took a chance on convincing the First Prime of Apophis to help them escape and turn his back on his ‘god’. Thankfully, Jack was right about the uncertainty he saw in Teal’c’s conviction that Apophis was a god, and he did join forces with them to fight the Goa’uld and earn freedom for the Jaffa, who had been their slaves for millennia.

Daniel tried to free Sha’re from the Goa’uld for over two years before they were ambushed on Abydos, and Amunet was prepared to kill Daniel. Teal’c was left with no choice but to kill her to save his life. At first, Daniel blamed Teal’c for Sha’re’s death, but eventually accepted that he had no choice but to save his life.

Daniel was later killed in an accident among a people known as the Kelownans, when he stopped a radioactive crisis from spreading. An Ancient ascended being known as Oma Dasala helped Daniel to ascend to a higher plane of existence, rather than letting him die. He lived this way for over a year before interfering to stop another Goa’uld from destroying all life in the galaxy. The Ancients’ number one law of non-interference was broken, and Oma sent Daniel back to human form. His memories were temporarily erased but with the help of SG-1, they returned gradually and he was able to rejoin their team. His memories of his time as an ascended being, however, are still almost entirely gone.

After Sha’re, Daniel has not had a serious relationship. However, he was seduced by the Goa’uld Hathor using a hypnotic technology, and nearly rekindled an old romance with his college girlfriend, Sarah, who was later taken as a host by Osiris. She was freed by the Tok’ra, but never returned to Colorado Springs.

Daniel also had a brief relationship with the princess of a world that SG-1 was held prisoner on. Jack, Sam and Teal’c were made to work in mines while Daniel was treated like royalty as the love interest of the future queen. He intended to use this status as a way to free his teammates, but the princess’ use of a Goa’uld sarcophagus to heal his injuries after a battle thwarted his plan with a subtle but marked brainwashing addiction to the device. Ultimately he was able to break this cycle and they were all freed.

Daniel has also had an off-and-on relationship/attraction with Vala Mal Doran, but it hasn’t gone anywhere officially.
