Note on "Confirmed kills" category:
The team shoots at a lot of people. The people they shoot at generally fall down. That doesn't count as a confirmed kill; Jaffa, especially, can heal from a lot of apparently fatal wounds. I only count it if someone checks and says "he's dead", or if someone gets zatted twice, or it's otherwise perfectly clear that there's no way this person is getting back up without being brought back from the dead. (If they later come back from the dead, it still counts as a death. It just means they get to have more than one.) Daniel's numbers are lower only because he almost never uses a zat gun.

Jack: Life

Born | Family | Friends | Romance | Education | Surroundings
Born

1957 (Brief Candle [fall 1997]: "I'm 40 years old")

compare: Daniel | Sam | Teal'c | Jonas | Apophis

Raised

Chicago (Children of the Gods; Family: "Jack, of the Windy City")

Minnesota (The Fifth Man: "born in Chicago, raised in Minnesota")

Marital status
divorced -- Sara
Children Charlie -- dead (Stargate the movie). Jack had never allowed Charlie to play with guns. Two weeks after a disagreement about a water gun, Charlie accidentally shot and killed himself with Jack's gun. (The Devil You Know)

Others unknown (Laira pregnant? A Hundred Days)

Other Family Grandfather from northern Minnesota; unknown if alive. (A Hundred Days)
Friends Kawalsky (deceased as of 1997)

Col. Frank Cromwell, AF SOF (deceased as of 1998). On a previous mission, Cromwell thought Jack had been killed and made a decision to save the rest of the team, leaving Jack behind where he spent four months in an Iraqi prison. Jack never forgave him; Cromwell was sucked into the black hole while trying (successfully) to repair his friendship with Jack. (A Matter of Time)

Maj. Henry Boyd, USAF (deceased as of 1998). Jack recommended him for command of SG-10; on the team's first mission, Boyd died along with the rest of his team, sucked into a black hole. (A Matter of Time)

Skaara. Abydonian boy Jack took under his wing on the first mission to Abydos. Skaara was taken over by Klorel, but was finally freed in 1999 and returned to Abydos. (Stargate the movie; Children of the Gods; Within the Serpent's Grasp, Serpent's Lair; Pretense)

George Hammond -- Jack is around Hammond's family enough for his granddaughters to go running into Jack's arms and be swept up into a big hug when he arrives, although even off-duty he addresses Hammond as "General". Jack also automatically goes to the back kitchen door when he makes an unannounced visit. (Chain Reaction)

Romantic interests
(drug- or otherwise affected)
Sara, (Kynthia), Laira, Freya, (Sam)
Education at least Bachelor's -- major unknown.

Possibly continuing education through the AF; colonels are selected for Senior Service Schools (list in the Colonels' Information Handbook [link removed; the Air Force put the handbook at a restricted URL])

Housing Brown house, on a fairly suburban street. Brick walkway has three steps leading up a landing, then three more to the front door; also has small lights embedded in the ground at intervals. Edged with rocks and flowers. The front door is made of wood strips, rather than one solid piece of wood, and has a knocker. There's a large window to the left of it (as seen from the outside; on the right on the inside). Front door opens onto the main hallway; as you walk in, the door to the dining room is directly ahead, with bedrooms down the hall to the right and the living room to the left and down a step. On the same wall as the door, next to the window, is a clock. The kitchen, dining room, and living room are all in a straight line along the hallway, with the kitchen opening onto the dining room and a wall with a large cutout opening between the dining room and living room. Front door, kitchen, bedrooms, and dining room are four steps up from the living room level. Kitchen has white cabinets and appliances. Dining room has huge china cabinet full of china and a wood-beamed ceiling, and has a hanging lantern for the light (bizarrely feminine touch, actually, although it's not twee or flowery). Living room has fieldstone fireplace on one wall (wood mantle has a picture, two framed diplomas or certificates, a US and an AF flag, and a lot of framed medals; wall over mantle has more medals and three more framed diplomas/certificates), floor-to-ceiling windows on another (leading out to deck, which has steps down to a fair-sized back yard). The wall between the living room and dining room has an opening cut through, plus two more framed diplomas/certificates. Small observation deck built onto roof (with extrernal ladder access) for amateur astronomy. Wide driveway or other paved area; room enough for three cars side by side easily. (Children of the Gods, Fire and Water)
Vehicle Drives a dark green Ford F250 with extended cab. (Ascension, others)

Jack: Profession

Career | Awards | Income | Languages
Career USAF 66-789-7876-324

Has to have been in the AF for at least 18-19 years to make full colonel. (Joined in 1975, which puts him at as much as 24 years of service as of 1999, although probably 22-23 years because of his temporary retirements. As of Fair Game is wearing an AF Longevity medal with, apparently, three bronze clusters. This can't be right. The medal is for four years of service; each cluster represents an additional awarding. This would mean he's been in in the AF for at least 16 years, but less than 20, as of 1999.) 

Has parachuted hundreds of times (Watergate) (is a master-level parachutist; see his full set of medals)

Joined AF at 18 (according to MGM press kit info): "When he joined the Air Force at 18 years of age, O'Neill proved himself to be an exceptional and gifted airman. Assigned to a special training program for covert operations/infiltration, he was trained in the skills of wilderness survival, special weapons and tactics, assassination, demolition, chemical weapons, the manufacture and detonation of explosives, and is a field expedience specialist."

Was a captain as of 1982. (Gamekeeper)

Has resigned twice so far: once after Charlie died, again after returning from Abydos the first time. To have retired (with pension?), would have had to be in the military for at least 20 years already; if he joined at 18, he couldn't retire before 38 (which works out about perfectly, if he's 40 in first season -- which was just over a year from the first mission, which was shortly after Charlie died). Presumably could resign at any time, though.

Will be facing mandatory retirement from active duty after completing 30 years Total Active Federal Commissioned Service. Don't know how long he's been commissioned (although he was a captain as of 1982). Factor in breaks for retirement, he could have 10-15 years left (as of 2000). (retirement info, etc., from the September 1999 edition of the Colonels' Information Handbook -- link removed, unfortunately, because the AF has moved this to a restricted URL.)

Recalled from retirement to lead the first mission to Abydos. (Stargate the movie) Retired again on his return, and was recalled again more than a year later to answer questions about the first mission and eventually to command SG-1, the SGC's flagship team.

First (personal, and probably official mission as well) SGC report: Dated February 23, 1997, and read, in part: "Skaara was chosen. I tried to stop them from taking him away, but was struck by an alien staff weapon. In that moment, Apophis gave the order. [...] We met heavy resistance on our return to the stargate, and became pinned down by enemy aircraft." (Politics)

Officially reported as missing in action during the search for him and Sam after the wormhole jumped gates and dumped them in the Antarctic.(Solitudes)

Has served as official AF technical consultant to a tv show. (Wormhole X-Treme)

Was intended for command of the alpha site if the asteroid struck and destroyed Earth. (Failsafe)

Assigned to fly the X-302, carrying the active stargate, into space to launch the stargate through a hyperspace window before it could blow up on Earth. Codename Starflight. (Redemption, part 2)

When the program is shut down after Anubis' attack, Jack decides to retire and take up fishing rather than ask for re-assignment (he was offered any assignment he wanted). Only the prompt re-instatement of the program kept him on active duty. (Redemption, part 2)

See the SG-1 entry for more info.

 

Pre-SGC Missions:
1982: Operation East Fly was a mission to retrieve a Russian agent named Boris from a house in East Germany. Members of the team included Captain O'Neill and Captain Kawalsky, under the command of Colonel John Michaels who was killed in action by snipers. It was the most blown operation he was ever involved in. (Gamekeeper

Sometime in the 1980s, he was on a covert operation over the borders of Iran and Iraq. He parachute opened late, and he fractured his skull when he hit the ground. It took him nine days to walk out to safety. (Solitudes)

Fanon has Jack serving in Viet Nam. This is impossible. Jack didn't turn 18 until 1975 (canonically born in 1957--Brief Candle), which was the year that all US troops were finally pulled out of Viet Nam. Even if he'd lied about his age to get in younger, we weren't still sending troops to 'Nam at that point. The "proof" given for this fanon is that Jack wears at least one Viet Nam medal. But, given the aired canon on Jack's age, this is simply a mistake. The two Viet Nam medals given were both given only up to 1973 -- Jack would have been 16 in 1973, and certainly couldn't have served in action long enough to have earned the medals--he would have to have joined when he was fifteen. (For specifics on the medals Jack appears to be wearing, see the Air Force descriptions: Vietnam Service and Republic of Vietnam.) Since prop canon is only valid in the absence of aired canon, this basically doesn't count. (Moreover, a closer look at the medals Jack and Sam are wearing during her promotion (Fair Game, third season, 1999) shows that she's not wearing the Air Medal -- which she earned a year earlier (Secrets, second season, 1998). So I'm looking at these medals as a guide, but not cast in stone.)

Medals/ Awards Full set

Given the Air Medal for heroism in 1998 (Secrets)

Income As of 1999 (based on January 2000 data): about $101,000/year -- regular compensation for his rank/grade (Colonel 06), including allowances (housing, uniforms, etc.). Probably making more in hazard pay.

Base monthly income is $6,114.60, not including allowances (will go up to $7,015.50 when he hits 26 years of service -- possibly as early as 2002, if his retirements don't count against him). This works out to $73,375/year without allowances.

As of 2002 (based on the military pay calculator and an educated guess or two): about $116,164/year in regular compensation (including allowances), based on his rank and an assumption of 27 years of service (this only works if his retirement years don't count against him; if those aren't included, I'm figuring 25 years of service, which makes it $111,855). Probably making more in hazard pay.

Base monthly pay (not including allowances, and based on 27 years of service) is $7,675.

compare: Daniel | Sam | Teal'c | Jonas | Apophis

Languages The Ancients' dialect (Window of Opportunity), although not fluent.

Presumed smattering of several others.

Knows a few words of Goa'uld, and a very few words of Unas.

Jack: Pain & Death

Trauma | Deaths | Kills | Enemies
Severe  injuries pre-show: nine (?poss including broken leg in Solitudes) broken bones, including a skull fracture received parachuting over Iran/Iraq during an "unofficial" mission in the 80s; he walked for nine days to get back to safety (thinking of Sara the whole time).

Reverted to pre-human in The Broca Divide

Broken bones (right leg, three ribs), internal bleeding, frostbite, hypothermia in Solitudes

Skewered by alien life-form in Message in a Bottle

Severe injuries from proximity to exploding shaped charge in A Matter of Time (presumably also severe body strain from exposure to so many gees near the event horizon)

Tortured in The Devil You Know

Knocked unconscious and electrocuted against the bars of his cage in New Ground

Radiation poisoning in Crystal Skull

compare: Daniel | Sam | Teal'c | Jonas | Apophis

Severe emotional trauma (pre-show) Getting left behind on mission and sent to Iraqi prison for four months.

Death of Charlie.

Presumably, causing Kawalsky's apparent death, regardless of true situation. (The Enemy Within)

compare: Daniel | Sam | Teal'c | Jonas | Apophis

Possessions/
controlled
Copied and left behind so alien could take over life in Cold Lazarus

Under Hathor's 'spell' in Hathor

  • Better at fighting it than any of the other men, although still unsuccessfully. (Daniel also worked around it as much as possible, but appeared to be more susceptible than Jack) (Hathor)

Taken over by ancient life form in Message in a Bottle

Alien database downloaded into his brain in The Fifth Race

Infested with Goa'uld in Into the Fire

Under Seth's 'spell' in Seth

Implanted with alien device that strongly influenced sensation and decisions in Urgo

Taken over by aliens in Foothold

Blended with the Tok'ra symbiote Kanan in Frozen

First (Humanoid Replicator) basically walked into Jack's subconscious (via a hand stuck into Jack's head) and took up residence there for a while, learning as much as he could about what buttons to push to get to Jack, and everywhere Jack had been through the stargate. (Jack was controlled/unconscious for a combined 37 hours.) Either First, or another Replicator, repeated the process shortly after Jack regained consciousness, knocking him out again. (Unnatural Selection)

compare: Daniel | Sam | Teal'c | Jonas | Apophis

Confirmed deaths Killed by Apophis with a staff weapon (The Nox)

(Robot-Jack killed by Cronus's Jaffa; severe injuries combined with failed power pack. Double Jeopardy

Staff-shot to the back, revived by sarcophagus (NB: this is not strictly confirmed, but is an educated guess that I feel strongly enough about to list; the servant who opened the sarcophagus announced "the host lives, my lord", rather than "the host is recovered" or some such, so I'm assuming Jack was dead before he was put in there) (Abyss)

Tortured to death* by Baal (knives, and presumably dropped down a gravity shaft); revived by sarcophagus. (Abyss)

Tortured to death* by Baal (tal'vak acid, then dropped down a gravity shaft). Revived by sarcophagus. (Abyss)

Tortured to death* by Baal (mix of knives and acid, apparently, and presumably dropped down a gravity shaft); revived by sarcophagus. (Abyss)

Tortured to death* by Baal (again, probably a mix of knives and acid, and presumably dropped down a gravity shaft); revived by sarcophagus. (Abyss)

(*NB on Baal's torture sessions: we never see Jack die, or dead, but it seems unlikely that Baal isn't killing him each time, since he speaks of repeatedly killing Jack, Daniel speaks of him repeatedly killing Jack, and Jack mentions having come back from the dead after one of the sessions. It's also very likely that he was killed more than those four times, but those are the only ones I can be reasonably sure of.)

compare: Daniel | Sam | Teal'c | Jonas | Apophis

Near-deaths Knocked out and nearly killed by energy lifeform in Cold Lazarus

Cryogenically frozen in Into the Fire to kill off the symbiote he was infested with.

Anoxia in Tangent

Nearly drowned on Anubis' mothership (Descent)

Deathly ill from the contagion Ayiana was carrying, which eventually acted like cerebral spinal meningitis, attacking the brain. Saved by being sent wtih the Tok'ra to be blended with a symbiote, Kanan. (Frozen)

compare: Daniel | Sam | Teal'c | Jonas | Apophis

Presumed deaths

Exploding ship in Serpent's Lair

Supernova in Enemies

compare: Daniel | Sam | Teal'c | Jonas | Apophis

Ra (Stargate the movie, with Daniel)

Two Jaffa in Chulak prison (Children of the Gods)

A Jaffa in the corridor outside Rya'c's chamber (Family)

The Jaffa Fro'tak was talking to (Family)

Fro'tak (Family)

One of the Jaffa guarding Rya'c in the clearing (Family)

One of Klorel's two personal guards (Within the Serpent's Grasp)

Skaara/Klorel -- it's only temporary, but they're definitely dead. (Within the Serpent's Grasp)

Reetou rebel (Show and Tell)

Hathor (Into the Fire)

"Enemy" pilot in Eurondans' world war (The Other Side)

Three Jaffa, outside a lab on Revanna during Zipacna's attack. (Last Stand)

Personal enemies

Apophis
Kinsey

Trapped offworld

In the movie, was Jonathan O'Neil; in the show, is John O'Neill (ID card in Entity). He's also listed as "Jonathan" on the trading cards, but just as show canon trumps movie canon, prop canon trumps merchandise canon. (see Miscellaneous: Movie inconsistencies for further movie/show differences)

Smoked (cigarettes) before and during the first mission to Abydos. (Stargate the movie) Never picked the habit back up again.

First used a staff weapon against a Jaffa who tried to stop an Abydonian caravan that Jack and Daniel were hiding in. (Stargate the movie)

Sara O'Neill lives at 842 Cranbrooke Lane, Winter Park, CO 80310

Doesn't forgive easily: can't forgive himself for Charlie's death (Children of the Gods); never forgave Frank Cromwell for leaving him behind in Iraq (A Matter of Time); can't forgive Kanan for using his body without his consent, regardless of Kanan's motivation (Allegiance).

Kept all his small keepsakes (wedding ring, family pictures, etc.) in a Van Dyck cigar box at the bottom of his locker as of first season; no idea what happened to them later. (Cold Lazarus)

Was probably still in love, at least to some degree, with Sara in first season; he was trying to write her a letter as he rapidly aged and faced death on Argos, and when he was slowly freezing to death in the Antarctic cavern he thought Sam was Sara, keeping him warm. (Brief Candle, Solitudes)

Held in holding cell 19D -- containing bunkbeds, a table, a chair, a toilet, and a surveillance camera -- after he returned to the SGC, when everyone thought he was an imposter (rather than the initial "Jack" to come through, who was in fact a crystalline entity posing as Jack). (Cold Lazarus)

Infected with nanocites that caused him to rapidly age -- about 40 years (or more) in just a few days. (Brief Candle)

Special-Forces-trained to fight mind-control techniques. (Hathor)

Likes to fish in Minnesota. (Nemesis, Small Victories, The Curse)

Has apparently been addicted to something in the past (Need -- "I know what this is" to a withdrawal-stricken Daniel; Divide and Conquer -- makes a reference to having "done the drugged-out-strapped-to-the-bed thing." ), although it's not clear what.

Strong aversion to bugs (Bane, Nemesis / Small Victories)

Probably banned from O'Malley's Bar and Grill (Upgrades)

Enjoys curling enough to use it as an example of an Earth sport (A Hundred Days), and knows enough about it to know that matches are known as "bonspiels" off the top of his head (The Light). Mentions it again in Threshold.

Takes his hat off in church. (Red Sky)

Has/had an open invitation to visit the White House after saving the planet yet again (presumably after Nemesis/Small Victories), but is losing his pull. (2001)

Carries a spare handgun in an ankle holster. (Wormhole X-Treme!)

Still no diplomat; managed to insult the Asgards (including making a reference to Freyr's mother) once again, despite being the Earth's de facto ambassador to the Asgard. (Failsafe)

Takes the stairs two at a time. (The Menace)

Turned into a Jaffa by Hathor, who used a device strapped on her stomach to carve the pouch into his abdomen. The process appeared quite painful. Pulled out of the vat of symbiotes before one could implant itself (too young?), and healed entirely of the pouch by Hathor's sarcophagus. (Hathor)

He's been in a sarcophagus at least five times: once in Hathor to heal/lose his symbiote pouch, and at least five times in Abyss to be revived after being shot and repeatedly tortured to death by Baal.It's possible he was killed and revived more often at Baal's hands, and we simply didn't see it happening.

His subconscious' default setting seems to be the gateroom (rather like Daniel, actually) (Unnatural Selection)

His iris code was 903-224-637 (before mid-sixth season, when a potential enemy discovered it; presumably, Jack changed it immediately upon his return, regardless of the fact that the Replicators are penned up on a planet.) (Unnatural Selection)

Arrested for murder (of Sen. Kinsey), although later released and all charges dropped. He'd been held in a military facility (first Peterson AFB, then Andrews AFB) pending transfer to the Washington, DC police before his release. As a result of videotape evidence linking him to the scene, the FBI got a warrant and searched his home and his cabin. (Smoke and Mirrors)

Jack and kids:

  • Charlie
  • Makes friends with Skaara; can't bring himself to take a shot at Ra when the kids in his entourage surround him; freaks when the Abydonian kids start training with guns (Stargate the movie)
  • Protects Nafrayu from what he sees as a threat in The Nox (and shoos him off home when things are getting dangerous)
  • Brings Cassie a puppy to help her adjust to living on Earth. (Singularity)
  • Is the one person Cassie trusts enough to tell about Sam having been Goa'ulded (In the Line of Duty)
  • Bonds with the boy who asks to be called "Charlie", and gives him a "official list" of reasons for which crying is a good thing when the boy is worried that he shouldn't be crying over losing his mother. (Show and Tell)
  • Kidnaps Merrin to keep her safe for a while longer, teaches her how to play, barks at her until she starts to relax a little bit. Knows he could be court-martialed for doing so, doesn't care. (Learning Curve
  • Keeps in touch with the kids and teachers at Cassie's old school. The kids are delighted to see him when he visits; they call him 'Colonel Jack'. One girl draws a picture of Jack when asked to draw something she loves (Learning Curve)
  • Knows exactly how to get to "Captain Rogers", the boy who's been trained to infiltrate Earth -- offers him the "tuna torture". (Rules of Engagement)
  • Is clearly fond of Hammond's granddaughters, who are clearly fond of him right back. (Chain Reaction)
  • Has a tendency to call kids "bambinos/as" when calling a greeting to them (Learning Curve, Chain Reaction)


Jack and dogs:

  • "We have a rule here on Earth. Every kid has got to have a dog" as he hands Cassie a puppy. (Singularity)
  • "Dogs are my favorite people" to Merren as he draws a purple dog on a wall (Learning Curve)
  • "Birds of a feather" in response to a woman remarking how quickly he made friends with her dog (Chain Reaction)

Jack and bad knees/back:

  • Need ("Actually, I've got this cartilege problem, a little ACL thing" [mouthing off to the guard that wants him to drop to his knees])
  • Prodigy
  • Threshold
  • Descent ("knee gets a little stiff in cold water")
  • Full Circle (knees and back "kinda weather-contingent")

Jack and aliens:

  • Has impressed the hell out of the Asgard, who love him to bits, especially Thor.
  • Distrusts the Tok'ra more and more with each interaction, with the possible exception of Jacob/Selmak.
  • His name is cursed by every Goa'uld (The Warrior)

TV/movies/reading habits:

  • A C-SPAN kinda guy (Touchstone)

  • Into pop media culture; various Simpsons and other refs (tons of Wizard of Oz, some Austin Powers, SW and ST, etc.). The Simpsons is an especial favorite; lots of Simpsons refs, and when his memory has been repressed and he's trying to get it back, remembers a bald man in a short-sleeved shirt whom he thinks is named "Homer". (Beneath the Surface) When he's in the Antarctic on a mission, he's annoyed with himself for forgetting to set the tape for The Simpsons. (Frozen) Also does a version of Monty Python's parrot sketch in Into the Fire ("face it, she is a former queen"). Gets into pop refs with Maybourne, as well; he refers to the pair of them as Starsky and Hutch (he's Starsky, Maybourne's Hutch) as "cover" in Chain Reaction. Repeats the ref in Desperate Measures, when he sends a message to "Hutch" signed "Starsky" to contact Maybourne. Later, his first reaction to being told Maybourne is using the name "Cassidy" is to ask whether it's David or Shaun (48 Hours).

  • Reads Mad magazine (Shades of Grey)

  • Has never seen Star Wars (Ascension)
  • Collects National Geographic. (Desperate Measures)

Tech he's lost out on:

  • Cronus' mothership (Enemies) -- in his possession before it was destroyed
  • Tollan ion cannon(s) (Between Two Fires)
  • Anubis' mothership (Descent) -- in his possession before it was destroyed

Skills and abilities:

  • Astronomy, to a degree. Small telescope on his roof for amateur astronomy (Children of the Gods, Singularity, 1969), and he has twice handled a large (observatory-level large) telescope successfully (Singularity, 1969).
  • Can't sing. (Urgo)
  • Knows how to juggle. (Window of Opportunity)
  • Can pick locks, and has a set of lockpicks. (Desperate Measures)
  • Can shoot left-handed (used his left hand to shoot a zat after the pistol in his right hand runs out of ammo in Serpent's Lair; used left hand in Spirits after being shot in right shoulder; switches gun to left hand in Chain Reaction to keep holding it on Kinsey while turning away)
  • Has piloted a Tok'ra/Goa'uld cargo vessel through a minefield (Serpent's Venom)
  • Can pilot a glider (a real glider, not just a converted one) (Descent)
  • Extremely field-competent, able to survive (and keep Maybourne alive) when tossed into a survival situation with nothing in the way of supplies beyond some water and energy bars. He also kept them both himself and Maybourne alive through bad injuries: himself with wooden shrapnel to the leg (looked like about a three-inch spike), and Maybourne with two bullet wounds. (Paradise Lost)
  • Aware enough of his own mind and how it works that he realized almost immediately that he'd been drugged, and even while under the influence began searching out the cause and trying to fix the damage -- unlike Maybourne, who simply succumbed to it. (Paradise Lost)
  • Possible sniper ability (picked off a running Jaffa at a fair distance, with just one shot) (Metamorphosis)

Time spent trapped offworld (not imprisoned, just unable to contact/return home without help):

  • More than three months, alone (A Hundred Days)
  • Two weeks, with Sam and Teal'c (Small Victories)
  • Nearly a month, with Maybourne (Paradise Lost)

Daniel: Life

Born | Family | Friends | Romance | Education | Surroundings
Born

July 8, 1964 or 1965 ([August] 1969 "I was four and a half in 1969"; Forever in a Day: Birthday is "July 8") 1965 is the more likely/accepted year.

compare: Jack | Sam | Teal'c | Jonas | Apophis

Raised
Orphaned at 8, put into foster care when his grandfather chose not to adopt him or be his guardian. (Crystal Skull)
Marital status
widowed -- Sha're
Children None known
Other Family Mother and father-- Claire and Melburne Jackson. Both killed in 1972-73 when slab of rock fell on them in NY Museum of Art as they set up an exhibit. (Gamekeeper)

Grandfather (Nick Ballard, Dutch [The Other Side]), staying with with the giant aliens; archaeologist with radical ideas (Crystal Skull)

Probably no siblings; definitely no sister (Holiday)

Kasuf -- father-in-law (began his relationship with Kasuf by giving him a 5th Avenue bar -- Stargate the movie)

Skaara -- brother-in-law

Friends Dr. Robert Rothman, archaeologist (deceased as of 2000). Daniel's research assistant while he was working on his dissertation; Daniel later brought him into the SGC (presumed; no canon on that, but it seems pretty likely). Was a little too skeptical to be any help rescuing Daniel in Crystal Skull. Jack had to shoot him after he was infested by a primitive Goa'uld on the original Goa'uld homeworld. (The First Ones)

Sarah (last name unknown). Old colleague/girlfriend, whom Daniel hadn't seen since before the first mission to Abydos. Taken over by Osiris in 2000 and no longer on Earth. (The Curse)

Romantic interests

Education
PhD archaeology. 

Presumed Master's, maybe PhD linguistics (MGM press kit info says PhDs in anthropology and linguistics)

Studied archaeology under Dr. David Jordan, possibly in Chicago (The Curse)

Housing

Seems to have moved during the series. First-season apartment was in a three-story building, and was a bit smaller and darker (dark wood walls, dark furniture, brick fireplace). Purple-ish Oriental-type rug in the living room. Had a fishtank. No balcony. Many, many artifacts, but far fewer weapons on the walls. (Fire and Water)

1152 Mainland Street, Apt. 8-3. (address from Holiday, apt. # from The Light). Doorman for the building. Well-appointed kitchen. Large living room, walls covered in artifacts and weapons (nice sword collection). Piano near the far wall, by the balcony. Small balcony, but big enough to jump off. There's a study off the living room, with a computer. The bedroom seems to be next to the kitchen, with a door leading into the living room. Big bed. (Forever in a Day, The Light)

Career

(see Weapons for Daniel's SGC history with weapons)

Worked in the Yucatan (Brief Candle)

Apparently did some work in Wales (2001)

Golden boy of archaeology until he started spouting theories of cross-pollination of ancient cultures, and claiming that the pyramids were actually landing pads for alien spaceships.

Still had enough respect to fill a hall (in the Park Plaza Hotel -- city unknown) to give a talk on his theories, but by the end of the talk had been laughed out of academia. He had also been evicted from his apartment, and his grants had run out. Catherine Langford gave him a shot at the SGC, and with nothing better to do he took it. (Stargate the movie)

He translated the capstone that had been laid over the stargate in Giza in just two weeks; the team working on it had spent two years at it without figuring it out. (Stargate the movie)

He was completely involved (barring a year of living on Abydos, but even then he was continuing his research on the Abydos cartouche) in the project since the first mission to Abydos. (rest of series through fifth season)

After the second mission to Abydos (to retrieve him) he joined the SGC, and SG-1 in particular, as his only way of finding Sha're. "Rank" is Civilian Advisor Joint Forces

Spent many years working as a civilian member of SG-1, the SGC's flagship team. Also helped with research, and was occasionally loaned out to other teams who needed his help with archaeological matters (A Matter of Time, The First Ones)

Offered his resignation to Hammond when he was suffering the beginnings of massive withdrawal from the sarcophagus, because he wanted to go back to Shyla's planet (and the sarcophagus). (He passed out before Hammond could refuse it.) (Need)

The final loss of Sha're and the Harsesis child's being sent to a safe place outside of Goa'uld reach didn't seem to have affected his underlying commitment to the SGC. (Forever in a Day, Maternal Instinct)

His name is still remembered by people in the field (Hathor), although he's dropped completely out of sight since 1995 (The Curse). He hasn't published a paper since late 1997 at best (Crystal Skull -- Nick says he hasn't published in two years).

Was being used for his diplomatic/negotiating skills; got sent to Russia (language skills can't have hurt there) along with Major Davis to negotiate for the loan of the Russian DHD, needed to rescue Teal'c from inside the stargate. He's the one who made the deal happen. (48 Hours)

Finally "left" the SGC to continue a more metaphysical journey when he was fatally irradiated and chose to ascend to another plane of existence. (Meridian)

See the SG-1 entry for more info.

Medals/ Awards ?
Income

As of 1999: $110,956 to $133,700 (the pay range for civilians in senior-level or scientific or professional positions). Could be getting hazard pay on top of this.

As of 2002 (based on the salary table for senior scientific or professional positions): $112,315 to $138,200. I'd guess, given his importance to the project, that he's at the high end of this (although given his shaky status in his field, maybe not). He could also be getting hazard pay on top of this.

compare: Jack | Sam | Teal'c | Jonas | Apophis

Languages 23 as of 1998 (1969); presumed more now (learned to read Atanik in about 30 seconds in Upgrades -- possibly learned many more languages during that ep. Has definitely added the Ancients' dialect [Window of Opportunity] although can't be considered fluent in it. Has picked up the bare beginnings of the Unas language (or a dialect of it), about 70 words [Beast of Burden])

Known: Russian, Abydonian/ancient Egyptian/Goa'uld, German, Ancients' dialect (not fluent), Middle English, some Unas

Presumed: Dutch (Nick), Spanish (learned midwifery in a remote village in the Yucatan), Latin, Greek

Can read: Cuneiform (Babylonian/Sumerian?) (Fire and Water), Phoenician (probably not fluent, but still good at it) (Serpent's Venom), Atanik (Upgrades), Russian (The Tomb), Ancient Celtic (a Welsh branch) (2001)

Confirmed deaths First mission to Abydos -- killed by Ra. (Stargate the movie)

Killed by Apophis with a staff weapon (The Nox)

Suicidal depression followed by deep coma followed by flatlining as a result of Goa'uld pleasure-palace influence (The Light).

(Robot-Daniel decapitated by a human proving his loyalty to Cronus. Beyond the decapitation, his body was destroyed when a bomb housed in his chest was exploded. Double Jeopardy

(see note) Exposed to massive radiation from a device housing an unstable radioactive variation of naquadah: 8-9 grays (gray = the amount of energy actually absorbed by any tissue or substance from exposure to radiation) of neutron radiation to his right hand, with full-body exposure of more than 7 grays. (This is a fatal level, when absorbed so quickly; see the Merck Manual for details.) The radiation sickness followed a standard path: nausea; then tremors, convulsions, and ataxia (inability to coordinate muscular movements); then (or simultaneously?) necrosis (surface tissue, brain tissue, and internal organs begin to inflame and degrade). All that happens within 10-15 hours, and his death would come from either drowning in his own blood and fluids, or bleeding to death. There is no medical treatment to stop this. Daniel didn't believe the SGC should go to offworld allies to help them, but they did anyway. Attempts to contact the Asgard and Jacob to help him failed, however. Sam attempted to heal him using the Goa'uld healing device, and sent him into seizures instead. Oma Desala appeared to him inside his mind, and began to guide him further along the path to ascension. After bringing Jack into his mind to explain what was going on, Daniel asked Jack to stop all resuscitation attempts; Jack did, and Daniel ascended to a higher plane, leaving a dead body behind. (Meridian)

  • NB: this isn't a true confirmed death, since Daniel is still alive in another form. It also isn't a near death, or a presumed death, or a severe injury, or any of the other categories I've got to sort out damage. Only Daniel could manage to die and not die at the same time!
  • He has since returned once in ascended form, to help Jack when he was being repeatedly tortured to death by Baal. (Abyss)
  • Returned a second time to give Teal'c the hope to hang on until he could be found and healed, after an ambush against rebel Jaffa that nearly killed Teal'c (and Bra'tac). He appeared within one of Teal'c's ongoing hallucinations (of himself as a firefighter) as a psychologist, helping "T" deal with being a kidney donor. (The Changeling)
  • Returned a third time to encourage the Abydonians to fight Anubis, and to enlist Jack (and through him the rest of SG-1) to the cause, eventually pitching in and helping for real, despite the rules forbidding it. (Full Circle)

compare: Jack | Sam | Teal'c | Jonas | Apophis

Musical taste ?
Food preferences Coffee.

Chocolate-walnut cookies (Forever in a Day)

Decent beer, not cheap stuff ("I don't like beer" to Jack's offer of twist-top domestic in Shades of Grey, but has clearly ordered a glass of good beer in Upgrades).

Steak and potatoes. (Upgrades)

Waffles (Window of Opportunity)

Sesame thingies (movie, The First Ones)

Tea (possibly -- there's a kettle boiling on his stove, and it's unlikely he'd drink instant coffee) (The Light)

Hobbies Chess (Legacy)

Piano (possibly -- he definitely has a piano in his apartment) (The Light)

Misc.

Weapons:

  • On the first mission to Abydos, Daniel was handed his first weapon -- a pistol -- by Brown, after they spotted Ra's ship atop the pyramid for the first time. (Stargate the movie)
  • The first weapon he fired was a staff, given him by one of Ra's Jaffa so he could execute Jack and the others (he turned and fired at Ra and the Jaffa instead, but missed). (Stargate the movie)
  • First used a pistol when he and Jack snuck into Ra's temple with a caravan of Abydonians -- he helped take out the Jaffa who found them out. (Stargate the movie)
  • Armed and organized the militia of Abydonian boys who guarded Abydos' stargate. (Children of the Gods)
  • Carried a standard-issue sidearm and knife on every mission thereafter, and occasionally used a P-90 as well.
  • (back to Daniel, Career)

Stuff on his table while trying to translate the capstone for the stargate:

  • "The Face of Tutankhamun" by Christopher Frayling (god only knows why; it lent a nicely Egyptian-artifact-y feel, but the title was too obvious and there's no reason for Daniel to be using it)
  • Nature Valley granola bar (red package)
  • choco-chip cookies
  • some kind of crunchy-salty snack back. (Stargate the movie)

Stuff that he packed for the trip to Abydos (very small selection, from multiple bags that he brought):

  • "Egypt Before The Pharaohs" by Michael A. Hoffman
  • several 5th Avenue bars
  • Catherine's eye-of-Ra pendant (Stargate the movie)

Used a combination of Abydonian and English to talk to Sha're ("Sha're, ben qua ri Jack and his friends to see the vili tao an.") (Children of the Gods)

Learned midwifery on a dig in the Yucatan, has delivered 3 babies as of mid-fourth season (one in the Yucatan pre-show, one in Brief Candle, and the Harsesis child in Secrets)

Owns an ancient Egyptian game -- the Jackal and the Hound -- that belonged to a Pharoah's daughter (god only knows how it wound up in Daniel's possession, along with all his other artifacts). Played it once with Teal'c. Made him feel like he was touching history. (Fire and Water)

Briefly at the top of the hierarchy in Hadante prison, after it appeared that he had killed Vishnoor, the bully who used to run the place. (Prisoners)

Taught Teal'c how to drive (the bus, in 1969) (Smoke and Mirrors)

Possibly afraid of heights (Thor's Chariot)

Seems to spend more time with the military than with the scientists on base; can lose patience with them (The Fifth Race)

Sings well. (Urgo)

Has an unfortunate tendency toward getting involved with women who have, or wind up having, a strongly sociopathic side (Sha're/Amaunet; Ke'ra/Linnea; Sarah/Osiris)

Probably banned from O'Malley's Bar and Grill (Upgrades)

Has a namesake out there -- Danel (Dan'el? Danell?) on Argos (P3X-8596), named after him after he delivered the boy. (Brief Candle)

Has briefly flown a ha'tak vessel. (Enemies)

Has served as a personal attendant to a Goa'uld System Lord (Yu), and attended a System Lord summit meeting. (Summit, Last Stand)

Is clearly getting more comfortable around tech, at least Goa'uld tech: knows enough about flying a cargo ship to use manuevering thrusters to slow the ship without being told to do so, and doesn't hesitate when Sam tells him to bypass power from hyperdrive, just gets up and heads for the correct console to do it. Possibly the ten days in transit on a barely working ship gave him the incentive to learn it. (Failsafe)

Is still better at thinking outside the box than pretty much anyone; he came up with the idea of extending the cargo ship's hyperdrive field to encompass the entire asteroid that was threatening Earth, so they could ride it through Earth to the other side safely. (Failsafe)

Born

May, unknown what year. (Ascension; Orlin gives her an emerald because it's her birthstone)

compare: Jack | Daniel | Teal'c | Jonas | Apophis

Raised
Air Force brat, probably travelled a lot
Marital status
single; once engaged to Jonas Hanson
Children None known
Other Family Mother -- died when Sam was a teenager. Jacob was supposed to pick her up but was late, so she took a cab, and there was an accident. (The Devil You Know)

Father -- Jacob Carter. USAF general, Tok'ra liaison (symbiote: Selmak) (Tok'ra, others)

Brother Mark, (s-i-l?), niece, and nephew in San Diego (Cold Lazarus, Seth). Mark had been estranged from his father for years, and as of Seth, Sam hadn't seen him since his two children were born.

Friends Dr. Timothy Harlow, one of the world's top geneticists. Met him when she was at the Pentagon. Called him in to help Teal'c in Bane, sure he was trustworthy. He wobbled a bit but regained her trust by the end of the ep.
Romantic interests
(drug- or otherwise affected)

Jonas Hanson, Martouf, Narim, (Jack), Joseph Faxon

Has a tendency to attract stalker-boys: Orlin, Narim (Ascension, Between Two Fires)

  • Her stalker boys also have a tendency to give her the experience of their emotions (Narim gave her the emotion-recorder he'd worn every time he was around her, so she could feel what he was feeling [Enigma]; Orlin did some sort of psychic merge with her so she could feel what he felt [Ascension]).
Education Graduated top of her class in the Academy, getting the highest marks in every class and winning pretty much every award; still a legend at the academy that bright newbies are compared to (usually to their detriment) (Prodigy)

PhD astrophysics or quantum mechanics (she's a theoretical astrophysicist -- Children of the Gods)

Housing Single-level house, across from a small park. No driveway. Wood floors; no carpeting. Stainless steel fridge and stove, nice kitchen. Living room with a stone fireplace, complete with wooden mantle covered in books and pictures. Fairly large tv, at least 31". Bookcases all over the place. Three computers with flat-screen monitors: one in the living room, two in the study. Large finished basement, including a workroom with a lot of tools, Denver Broncos pennants on the walls, an Air Force symbol on the wall, and a baby stargate unless the SGC or NID grabbed it. Walls and many surfaces have family pictures. (Ascension) Has a corded phone next to her bed. (Nightwalkers)
Vehicle

As of fifth season, drove a 1961 Volvo, possibly a P1800 Coupe (Ascension)

As of sixth season, she was driving a late-model (2000 or later) silver four-door Volvo s80, with keyless entry and a sunroof. (Prometheus)

Career USAF 43-412-6775-320

Wanted to be an astronaut, but had to give up on it and find something else when the shuttle program was shut down for nearly two years after the Challenger disaster in early 1986. (Secrets)

Has to have been in the AF for at least eleven years to make Major, which she was promoted to in 1999 (has an AF Longevity Ribbon, which is given for four years of service, with a bronze star, which represents the second awarding -- so she's been in more than eight years, but less than twelve, as of Fair Game [1999]).

Clocked more than 100 hours in enemy airspace during the Gulf War, and has flown an F-16. (Children of the Gods)

Spent two years at pentagon working on the Stargate Project before Daniel got the 'gate to work the first time. (Children of the Gods, Secrets)

After the first Abydos mission, researched alternative applications for the gate, including time travel. (1969)

Was brought in to the SGC right from the beginning, and was on the team that went to Abydos for the second time (to retrieve Daniel). Was added to SG-1, the SGC's flagship team, and has served on that team ever since.

Also does some work with the computers (particularly 'gate-related programming) and technological research (naquadah reactor [Learning Curve], etc.)

Recommended for a commendation after Hathor

Officially reported as missing in action during the search for him and Sam after the wormhole jumped gates and dumped them in the Antarctic. (Solitudes)

Got first command in 1998 (Spirits)

Promoted to major in 1999 (Fair Game)

Has medical field training (Nemesis)

Occasionally guest-lectures at the AF Academy (Prodigy)

In the space of about a year, she's gone from having to be talked through hyperdrive repair to leading a repair team herself. (Enemies, Failsafe)

Broke strict security regulations when she told Agent Barrett about the Foothold situation of 1999. (Smoke and Mirrors)

Was one of the possibilities being considered as new SG-1 leader when Jack had been missing for nearly a month, with no apparent hope of finding him again (three years earlier, in Shades of Grey, she was too unseasoned a commander to be considered as Jack's replacement). (Paradise Lost)

Gets called "sir" by Sgt. Davis -- unclear why, since she's always been "ma'am" to that point. (Metamorphosis)

See the SG-1 entry for more info.

Medals/ Awards Full set

Given the Air Medal for heroism in 1998 (Secrets); prop canon inconsistency in that it doesn't later appear on her uniform.

Income Prior to 1999:
$57,857/year -- regular compensation for her rank/grade (Captain 03), including allowances (housing, uniforms, etc.). Probably making more in hazard pay.

Base monthly income is $4,139.10, not including allowances. This works out to $49,669/year without allowances.

As of 1999:
$70,356/year -- regular compensation for her rank/grade (Major 04), including allowances (housing, uniforms, etc.). Probably making more in hazard pay.

Base monthly income is $4,461.60, not including allowances. This works out to $53,532/year without allowances.

These numbers are based on January 2000 data. Military pay was adjusted in July 2000; don't have those numbers.

As of 2002 (based on the military pay calculator and an educated guess or two): about $81,322/year in regular compensation (including allowances), based on her rank and an assumption of 14 years' active service. Could also be getting hazard pay.

Base monthly income is $5,092, not including allowances.

Heartbeat flatlined briefly after she was caught in a power spike while overhauling the gate generators (the capacitor blew). (Prophecy) (nb: I nearly put this under "severe injuries" because the flatlining was so brief, but she did flatline, so it goes here. YMMV.)

Appears to be an early riser when not on duty; was up and out by 8:30 am on an off-duty Saturday. (Desperate Measures)

Leaves lights on in the house when she's asleep - living room and a back room of some sort -- but sleeps in a dark bedroom. (Nightwalkers)

Owns a pair of black leather pants. (Nightwalkers)

Seemed to enjoy slapping Jonas hard across the face. (Nightwalkers)

Even years after Maybourne's arrest and trial for treason, Sam still called him "colonel" when she met up with him, and referred to him that way to Hammond after he and Jack went missing. (Paradise Lost)

Pronounces the "h" in "herbal" (The Changeling)

Being blended with Jolinar:

  • Has both a protein marker and traces of naquadah in her blood from Jolinar. (Desperate Measures)
  • Has access to at least some of Jolinar's memories.
  • Has ability to sense Goa'uld, either in a host or in a Jaffa (Need, Show and Tell). But what she's sensing is the naquadah, somehow (The First Ones), presumably because of the naquadah remaining in her own system (Into the Fire) -- unclear why she doesn't react similarly to naquadah technology (you'd think there's enough naquadah in a stargate that they could use her as a homing device!). Also, has a protein marker left behind from Jolinar's death and the absorption of her into Sam's body (Legacy). (it's getting crowded in there...)
  • Has ability to use Goa'uld mind-controlled technology (ribbon device [Thor's Chariot, Seth], healing device [Fair Game])

Has a tendency to put science ahead of people unless someone (usually Jack) forces her to see what's happening to the people involved as well.

  • First real instance: in Singularity, while everyone else is focused on the deaths and on getting home safely, Sam brings up the point of leaving one person behind to photograph the singularity during the eclipse, so we don't lose this rare chance. (This is the most reasonable of her science-first reactions; she's also concerned about Cassie and the people who died on the planet. This time, everyone goes along with her, although she can't be the one to stay since Cassie attached herself to Sam.)
  • During A Matter of Time, she's fascinated by the sight of the black hole on the screen, losing sight of the fact that there's also a team of soldiers in the frame who are dying by slow millimeters.
  • During Meridian, even while honestly reacting to Daniel's radiation-sickness situation, she's focused on the need to maintain relations with Kelowna to ensure a supply of naquadria.
  • During Metamorphosis, she wanted to study the Ancients' genetic-manipulation machine, not understanding at first why the locals might want to just destroy it.

Trapped offworld (not imprisoned, just unable to contact/return home without help):

  • Two weeks, with Jack and Teal'c (Small Victories)

compare: Jack | Daniel | Sam | Jonas | Apophis

(There was more confusion about Teal'c's age than about anyone's; MGM press kit info has him at over 90 as the series begins, but no canon supported this. Fanon claimed he was in his 80s -- again, no canon to support it.)

Raised
Chulak after his father died and he and his mother fled Cronus' world.
Marital status

Divorced for several years-- Drey'auc of the Cord'ai Plains.

As of 2002, widowed. (Redemption, part 1)

Children Rya'c
Other Family Father -- Ronac. Killed by Cronus
Friends Bra'tac

Fro'tak (deceased as of 1998) Childhood friends, until Fro'tak married Drey'auc and then tried to betray them all to Apophis. Jack killed him before he could. (Family)

Va'lar, a Jaffa he trained with and served with as a member of Apophis' personal guard. He was ordered to kill Va'lar after Va'lar failed Apophis, but instead banished him to a small village. Later Apophis ordered him to destroy that village to regain the planet from Ra, and he had to do so to keep Apophis from finding out the truth of what he'd done.

Education Trained by Bra'tac
Housing

Pre-SGC: Lived aboard ha'tak vessels much of the time. On Chulak, he had been granted a nice house (stone walls, with wood beams inside) as a gift from Apophis for his service, where he lived with Drey'auc and had Rya'c. It was destroyed and Drey'auc and Rya'c driven out to the outcast encampments after Teal'c betrayed Apophis. (Bloodlines)

Quarters on base, room 2513-20 (Crystal Skull). Has a bed and its own bathroom, but not much more: a closet (undoubtedly filling up with an appalling assortment of civvies) with a footlocker on top of it, a plastic chair, a tv in the corner (Holiday). Usually lit with candles.

His base quarters have gradually picked up more stuff over the years, including several small tables with drawers and a small bookcase with an assortment of books in it. (nb: this is more of a probability than a fact; this was in a hallucination, but I think it probably reflects the reality fairly accurately.) (The Changeling)

Teal'c: Profession

Career

Bra'tac's best student.

After Teal'c killed 100 of the enemy in battle, Bra'tac brought him to Apophis' attention for recognition of his deeds. Apophis spoke with him directly, then ribboned him for remaining loyal to his father. This, even more than his father's death, seems to have sparked Teal'c's rebellion. Nevertheless, Teal'c started moving up the ladder after this, with much more access to Apophis than his peers (Va'lar asks Teal'c to intercede with Apophis on his behalf, etc.) (Threshold)

Still Bra'tac's apprentice, and one of Apophis' personal guard, Teal'c was ordered to kill his friend Va'lar for failing in his duty (retreating from a doomed battle in hopes of returning with reinforcements, rather than standing his ground and dying in Apophis' name). Teal'c decided to test Apophis' omniscience, and freed Va'lar, taking a symbiote from a dying Jaffa to "prove" Va'lar's death. Apophis' approval proved to Teal'c that he couldn't be an all-knowing god as he claimed, and Teal'c crossed the line from worshipper to unbeliever. Apophis' approval probably also cemented his path toward becoming First Prime as Bra'tac had intended all along. (Threshold)

First major crisis of conscience came when Teal'c had to destroy the village where he'd banished Va'lar in order to keep Apophis from learning of his treachery. (Threshold)

First Prime of Apophis. (Children of the Gods) He can't have been younger than 85 when this happened, since he was still a regular (if apparently senior/ranking) Jaffa when Rya'c was conceived. Never seems to have been Second Prime (assuming the silver brand means second prime). (Threshold)

Once Teal'c became First Prime, Bra'tac filled him in on actual rebel stuff, admitting to what he'd been doing rather than just dropping hints and nudging Teal'c to think for himself, so that Teal'c could use his new position of power to do some actual good. (Threshold)

One of his first assignments as First Prime was to hunt down Ma'chello. (Holiday)

Was ordered to retrieve the fenri (a supposedly invisible flying creature, which hovers like a hummingbird "with teeth") for Apophis; when he failed, he lost two men as punishment. (The Nox)

Shak'l was one of his men while he was First Prime, and he had part in Shak'l's training (The Nox)

Shol'va.

Qualified to pilot Goa'uld death glider.

Is highly proficient at flying tel'tacs (Goa'uld cargo ships)

Turned on his own people to free the Goa'uld's captives at Jack's request, then accompanied SG-1 and -2 back to Earth, where he joined the SGC and was added to SG-1, the flagship team. (Children of the Gods) "Rank" is Civilian Member Joint Forces.

Requested permission to return through the stargate after Kinsey shut it down, so he could continue to fight the Goa'uld on his own; Hammond had to deny the request. (Politics)

In total, can't have been First Prime for more than 12 years before betraying Apophis and joining SG-1, and probably less than that. (timeline set up in Threshold)

By killing K'tano/Imhotep in the rite of joma secu, he's earned the right to lead the army of rebel Jaffa. (The Warrior)

  • Clearly is indeed in a position of authority among the rebel Jaffa who left Cal Mah: he interferes several times when a Jaffa gets riled by a Tok'ra on the SGC's alpha site, and the Jaffa backs off without demur. (Allegiance)
    • During an emotional showdown between the Tok'ra and the Jaffa after two murders (a line of Jaffa holding weapons on a line of Tok'ra who were holding weapons on them in turn), Teal'c clearly allied himself with the Jaffa rather than stepping back -- he held a zat on the Tok'ra leader. He backed off when Jack called him aside, but didn't tell the Jaffa to lower their weapons. (In the same situation on the other side, Jacob did not pull his weapon on the Jaffa.) (Allegiance)

See the SG-1 entry for more info.

Medals/ Awards ?
Income As of 1999 (based on January 2000 data): (on the assumption that he's being paid at least as much as the highest-ranked enlisted -- Chief Master Sergeant. Absolutely no way to verify this.)

Probably earning about $59,997, including any allowances.

This number is based on January 2000 data. Military pay was adjusted in July 2000; don't have those numbers.

As of 2002 (based on the military pay calculator and the above assumptions): if I use 10 years' service as the base, about $59,979. (10 years is the minimum requirement for Chief Master Sergeant.) It's unlikely that he wouldn't have gotten a raise in three years, but since all this is a guess anyway I have no clue what it would have gone up to. But I think it's safe to assume, given that, that he's making at least $60,000/year, and possibly is making more to put him on a more even footing with the rest of the team (although not having to pay for housing probably counts for a lot). Could also be getting hazard pay.

Junior

Trapped offworld

Carries a Goa'uld symbiote, nicknamed "Junior" by Jack. (More accurately, after Family this should be Junior, Jr. -- Teal'c's first "Junior" went to Rya'c to save Rya'c's life, and Teal'c was implanted with a second symbiote, also called Junior.)

  • The current Junior should mature around 2005-2006 (Threshold)
  • The SGC originally tried to remove Junior at least once, but the drugs they tried (presumably to bolster or jumpstart Teal'c's immune system) failed, and Junior had to be returned. (Bloodlines)

Attempted to return to Chulak alone when it looked like Hammond wasn't falling forthe ruse designed by the rest of the team to fake a mission there so Teal'c could save Rya'c from the prim'ta ceremony. (Bloodlines)

Appears to be quite gifted at calculating different planetary rotations and how they correlate; he knew the time of Rya'c's scheduled prim'ta ceremony, despite not having been on Chulak for months. (Bloodlines)

Takes personal responsibility for all his actions, regardless of whether he was acting under orders or not. (Cor-Ai)

Offered his body (and his symbiote) to human medical science for study, in the event of his expected death. (Cor-Ai)

"Teal'c" means "strength" (Past and Present)

Has ability to sense Reetou. (Show and Tell)

Has to meditate (kelno'reem) every day to stay healthy -- give his symbiote a chance to fix anything that may have gone wrong that day. (Holiday, Beneath the Surface)

  • Brings candles with him to the Antarctic to help him with kelno'reem. (Frozen)
  • Eventually added a sunburst figure to his kelno'reem candles. (Abyss)

Sings as though chanting -- in a very, very deep voice. (Urgo)

Knows how to juggle. (Window of Opportunity)

Learned how to drive in 1969, when Daniel taught him to drive the bus. (Smoke and Mirrors)

Likes reading the tabloids (Point of No Return, The Curse)

Eyeshadow fetish appears to begin after he becomes First Prime (no sign of it in any flashbacks to before that point, but it appears the day he gets the gold symbol) (Threshold)

Has seen Star Wars nine times. (Ascension)

Doesn't wear a tie on more formal occasions (funeral, meeting with high-ranking brass, during both of which Daniel was in a suit and tie, and the others were in dress blues). He wears a dark suit, with a silky-looking offwhite pullover shirt with a short collar-band up around his neck; no buttons or tie to be seen. (Between Two Fires, 2001)

Has developed a fondness for the cannon he salvaged from the downed glider in Fifth Man; seems to have become his weapon of choice, and was the weapon he used to kill Tanith in 48 Hours.

Owns a long black leather coat. (Nightwalkers)

Intends to return to Chulak with Rya'c when his time with SG-1 is over. (Nightwalkers)

His loyalty to and feelings toward Bra'tac have never wavered; he nearly throttled the Tok'ra leader Malek after Malek reported (erroneously) that Bra'tac had died -- and Malek hadn't done anything to save him. (Allegiance)

Had two main, ongoing hallucinations during The Changeling while trying to keep himself and Bra'tac alive while sharing one symbiote between them. The hallucinations intertwined, flipping back and forth with no real warning, but with overlapping conversations/situations:

  • He was a member of the Coquitlam Fire Rescue, along with Jack (the station chief), Sam (the station's captain) and Jonas (a "probie", in a pink "New Guy" apron, still learning the ropes).
    • Teal'c wasn't wearing any stripes -- no rank, presumably.
    • His name throughout this is "T"; seems to be what he considers his "human" name.
    • Bra'tac was his stepfather, "Brae", who was desperately in need of a kidney transplant.
    • He was married to (or at least living very happily with) Shauna (Shan'auc)
    • Apophis showed up several times: as a surgeon in a dream/nightmare within the hallucination; as a car-accident victim; a surgeon again, telling Teal'c he could not escape his fate (as shol'va).
  • He was a member of the SGC, but an SGC that was just slightly off from the reality.
    • He couldn't achieve kelno'reem, no matter how hard he tried.
    • Within this hallucination, saw Apophis (dressed in CotG garb) telling him he was afraid to die because he was afraid to face Apophis in the afterlife; the hallucination flipped almost instantly back to the firefighter one.

Trapped offworld (not imprisoned, just unable to contact/return home without help):

  • Two weeks, with Jack and Sam (Small Victories)

On Kelowna, he was a Special Advisor to the High Minister (who was the equivalent of a president or prime minister). (Meridian)

Joined SG-1 after three months on Earth, after Daniel's more-or-less death saving Jonas' planet during Meridian left a vacancy open. (Redemption, part 1)

First mission: continuity problem. Ostensibly, his first mission was when the whole team walked through the gate at the end of Redemption part 2. Teal'c later says that the mission to Anubis' supposedly empty ship in Earth orbit is his first mission (Descent).

  • It's possible that at the end of Redemption pt 2 the team was heading off to meet up with Jacob, but that doesn't make a whole lot of sense -- it would probably be easier to have Jacob meet them on Earth, and in any event there didn't seem to be any urgency about them at the end of Redemption pt. 2, which there would have been had they known a Goa'uld mothership was hanging in orbit. (Descent)

Has been assigned to another unit temporarily at least once: was with SG-2 to help gather artifacts from P36 231 while the rest of SG-1 was at the alpha site dealing with the fallout from Anubis' attack on the Tok'ra base in the Risa system, and the refugees from that. (Allegiance)

Severe  injuries

While in Nirrti's gene-splicing machine (for more than an hour -- Metamorphosis), he was changed somehow; some time later, he began to develop a mass in his brain that acted like a tumor but wasn't formed of cancerous cells. Something about it gave him precognitive ability -- and massive headaches. Frasier insisted that he have surgery to have it removed, before it killed him. The tumor was made up of material similar to ordinary human brain tissue, but with neurons that were more densely packed. (Prophecy)

Not a scientist, but according to tests Fraiser ran, he learns much faster than the average human; appears to consider himself competent to understand advanced archaeology and advanced physics/engineering, by simply reading about them. (Redemption, part 1)

He brought naquadria to the SGC (Meridian), and consequently was given access to all naquadria-related research materials. (Redemption, part 1)

Carries a zat, not a pistol. (Descent)

On a world where none of them were carrying zats, he carried an intar, rather than a full working pistol. (Shadowplay)

Carries a live weapon for the first time to face hordes of Replicators, after repeatedly showing Jack that he knows how to use it. (Unnatural Selection)

Keeps fish in his office. (Shadowplay)

Wears a ring on his right hand, middle finger. (Shadowplay)

Not entirely baseline human; thousands of years of isolation allowed his people to evolve slightly differently. Nirrti considered Jonas to be much closer to her ideal of a hok'tar than baseline humans. (Metamorphosis)

Answers his base phone "Jonas." (Forsaken)

Career

Has been steadily working his way up the System Lords' ladder, regularly coming back from apparent defeat stronger than ever.

About 300 years ago, defeated the System Lord Shak'ran. (Cure)

Actively at war with Ra throughout much of Teal'c's career with him. (Threshold)

Saw an opportunity for supreme power when his rival Ra was killed. (Stargate the movie, Children of the Gods)

Lost face and warriors when SG-1 blew up two of his ha'tak vessels (The Serpent's Lair)

Was captured and tortured by Sokar, escaped, died of his injuries on Earth (in an attempt to bring the SGC with him into death), was returned to Sokar, was revived, was tortured more, staged a coup that probably would have failed if not for the Tok'ra killing Sokar as they destroyed Netu. Inherited Sokar's armies -- which were enough to destroy at least six System Lords, maybe more. (Serpent's Song, Jolinar's Memories, The Devil You Know). 

Captured SG-11 and tortured them for information, but didn't get much before they died. (Rules of Engagement)

Attacked and destroyed Chulak, searching for the Harsesis child. (Maternal Instinct)

Lost several thousand warriors from his new army when Oma Desala lashed out at them. (Maternal Instinct)

Building a new class of battleship that could assure his dominance over the Goa'uld and the galaxy. SG-1 destroyed the (first?) ship on PX9-757 by sabotaging the cooling system. (Upgrades; planet designation stated in Divide and Conquer

Met with Heru'ur in an ancient deadly minefield to discuss an alliance to topple the System Lords; when Jacob, SG-1 (barring Teal'c, who is being tortured on Heru'ur's ship at the time, unbeknownst to anyone), and a Tok'ra operative on Apophis's ship interfered in an attempt to make both System Lords retreat, Apophis uncloaked an entire fleet of mother ships. He destroyed Heru'ur's ship, and his fleet surrounded him to sacrifice themselves to save him from the mines. Inherited all of Heru'ur's armies (at least in theory). (Serpent's Venom)

Made a bid to wipe out the Tok'ra with much/most of his fleet but failed when the Tok'ra managed to escape ahead of him. Lost most of his fleet when SG-1 and Jacob blew up the sun in the Vorash system with his fleet nearby, catching the ships in the supernova. Escaped on his own mothership and followed SG-1 through hyperspace to another galaxy. (Exodus, Enemies)

Escaped his Replicator-infested mother ship with a few loyal Jaffa (including a brainwashed Teal'c) and used Teal'c to gain access to SG-1's stolen ha'tak vessel. Idiotically brought Replicators with them. Apophis went down with the ship when SG-1 steered it straight into a planet to blow it to smithereens. (Enemies)

Toward the end of Teal'c's career was in more "traditional" Egyptian garb, with a shirt that left his midriff bare and no scarabs anywhere (Children of the Gods). After his revival and escape from Sokar, he shifted to outfits in Sokar's colors/styles, with a lot of red leather (Serpent's Venom, Exodus, Enemies)
