Jack O'Neill, (SG1: "The Enemy Within")

Teal'c [pronounced ˈtiːəlk], is a Jaffa who was First Prime of the Goa'uld System Lord Apophis. After he betrayed his "god", he joined the Stargate Command to become part of the SG-1 team during over 12 years. He originated the Jaffa Rebellion with his mentor Bra'tac, and freed the Milky Way galaxy from the Goa'ulds and the Ori along with his teammates and allies.

Biography[edit | edit source]

Background[edit | edit source]

Teal'c (name given by his father which means "Strength" in Goa'uld language[2]) was born circa 1899[1] on a world under the domination of the Goa'uld System Lord Cronus. His father, Ronac, served as First Prime of Cronus. Because he failed to win an unwinnable battle, Ronac was murdered by Cronus, and Teal'c and his mother were exiled to Chulak (SG1: "Fair Game", "Threshold"). When he was a young boy, he received his first Prim'ta, the larval form of the Goa'ulds, which gave him a perfect health and long life. He then became a true Jaffa (SG1: "Children of the Gods", "Bloodlines").

While Colonel Carter is packing her stuff to leave Stargate Command for Atlantis, Teal'c visits her in her lab and encourages her for her new assignement.

Stargate: Continuum (2008)[edit | edit source]

Teal'c is invited by the Tok'ra on the Tok'ra homeworld, along with SG-1 and Major General O'Neill, to watch the extraction ceremony of the last System Lord Ba'al who has been captured. After three hours passed to enumerate all of Ba'al's crimes, the Goa'uld symbiote is finaly extracted from the host and throwned to the floor.[3] Later, Teal'c leaves Stargate Command to go to lunch with his teammates on General O'Neill's invitation.

Notes[edit | edit source]

  • In "Holiday", Teal'c was briefly played by Richard Dean Anderson as he has switched consciousness with Colonel O'Neill by touching the Ma'chello's soul switcher at the same moment. During a scene, Teal'c (Anderson) started to shave his head because of his Jaffa condition, while O'Neill (Judge) refused.
