History Characters / StargateSG1AlliesOfTheSGC

* GenderBender: Selmak's previous host, Saroosh, was female.

* CatchPhrase: He tends to respond to anything he doesn't want to hear, from an attempt to turn down a job offer to a threat of annihilation, with a vehement "[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Never. Going. To happen.]]"

* HeelFaceDoorSlam: After Teal'c talks some sense into him he tries to make amends by curing the victims of the Ori plague, only to get set on fire for his troubles due to a failsafe inbuilt in the makeup of the Priors.

* KillMeNowOrForeverStayYourHand: Teal'c pulls this on him in order to get through to the part of him that hasn't been corrupted by the Ori.

* InvisibilityCloak: They use armbands which seem to work in a similar way to phase-shifting technology in order to render themselves invisible and get the drop on their opponents. The technology is later adopted by the SGC.

* FasterThanLightTravel: They have the fastest kind in the show, clocked by fans at about 150 light years per hour in later seasons, and indeed among the fastest in all of science fiction. At full speed they can travel between ''galaxies'' in a matter of a few hours. This is not only millions of times faster than what the Goa'uld have it is significantly faster Ori warships. The thing known to be faster is Atlantis with its full complement of [=ZPMs=] for power.

* YouAreNotReady: This is initially their stance towards the Tau'ri, but they gradually subvert it over the course of the series, sharing more and more of their technology with the team before ultimately leaving them everything they have in the final episode.

* CloningBlues: Millennia of cloning themselves has degraded their [=DNA=] quite severely.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Usually depicted as a villain in Arthurian myth, but she's one of the good guys here. If she hadn't destroyed the San Graal, the Others would have sent another. So, she did destroy it but also sealed and protected Merlin, so another could be made when needed. Although Morgan was a good guy in the first Arthurian myths she appeared in before suffering AdaptationalVillainy.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Usually depicted as a villain in Arthurian myth, but she's one of the good guys here. If she hadn't destroyed the San Graal, the Others would have sent another. So, she did destroy it but also sealed and protected Merlin, so another could be made when needed.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: They largely disappear from the narrative after the end of season 8, with the fall of the Goa'uld empire and Jacob/Selmak's death. They do make a brief reappearance in the penultimate episode of the series, however, and ''[[Film/StargateContinuum Continuum]]'' reveals that they've been able to come out of hiding and establish a society on their own planet with the Goa'uld no longer posing a threat to them.

A Russian Air Force colonel who was implied to have been upper management during the Russians' abortive attempt at a parallel stargate program in "Watergate". Chekov first appeared in the aftermath of a disastrous joint SGC-VKS operation to infiltrate the tomb of the slain System Lord Marduk during which all but one Russian team member was killed. He and Jack didn't get along, though he had fairly good relations with Daniel. Later episodes essentially established him as the Russian Air Force liaison to the SGC. [[spoiler:"Crusade" saw him take command of the ''Daedalus''-class battlecruiser RFS ''Korolev'' on her maiden voyage. He was killed in battle along with his entire crew.]]

Sha're's younger brother and Daniel's brother-in-law, and one of two movie characters who retained their original actors. He was kidnapped from Abydos by Apophis for use as a host for his son Klorel. Much later, after he was captured by the Tollans, O'Neill and Daniel successfully argued in Tollan court for the removal of Klorel. [[spoiler:He was mortally wounded by Anubis's troops during the attack on Abydos, but Oma Desala helped him and the other Abydonians AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence.]]

Jacob Carter was Samantha Carter's father and a major general in the Air Force. When he was dying of cancer, SG-1 brought him to the Tok'ra (rebels opposing the System Lords while being the same species as the Goa'uld) to be blended with the symbiote Selmak. This cemented the alliance between the Tok'ra and the Tau'ri, although Selmak himself eventually grew out of favor among his people due to his ties to Earth. [[spoiler:Was killed off anticlimactically in the episode "Threads", for seemingly no reason other than to give his daughter something to angst over for all of one episode.]]

* IDidWhatIHadToDo: He was aware of the Aschen's sterilisation plans for Earth, and agreed with them as he saw it as a necessary trade-off for their aid against the Goa'uld (In his defence, he was told it would only be a third of the population, and he certainly never expected his wife would be one of those affected).

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He was last seen on an Aschen ship after the rest of the Tau'ri delegation escaped back to Earth, and while it's likely that he was killed it has never been explicitly confirmed.
* WhatTheHellHero: Receives this from Sam when she learns that he was aware of the Aschen sterilisation plan, even as he justifies his role as he thought they would only sterilise a third of the population.

* BearerOfBadNews: He is nicknamed "Disaster Davis" by the fans, as he usually appears with bad news, sometimes at bad times with even worse news. This is justified by the nature of his character, however. He's the liaison between the Pentagon and Stargate Command, so he is really only ever sent when the Pentagon has bad news.

* HasTwoMommies: Sam is the first person she bonds with when she comes to Earth and they remain close even after Janet adopts her, which turns into this trope when coupled with the [[LesYay close friendship]] between Sam and Janet. Really made explicit during Cassie's sixteenth birthday party, with both Sam and Janet insisting they spend time together while Cassie would rather go out with her boyfriend.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: ...However, it's never made entirely clear what becomes of him following the attack.

->'''First Appearance:''' "[[StargateSG1S9E3Origin Origin]]"

* YouGotSpunk: Part of the reason Apophis picks her as a host. When she struggles against the guards and states that she isn't afraid after being brought before him, he approvingly notes that "this one has spirit".

* LoopholeAbuse: She does this twice in order to covertly help the team without drawing the attention of the Others; first of all by posing as a hologram in "[[Recap/StargateSG1S10E3ThePegasusProject The Pegasus Project]]" and then by posing as the deceased Merlin in ''Ark of Truth''. Daniel calls her on it both times.

* SealedEvilInADuel: She defeats Adria in a similar way to how Oma defeats Anubis.

* PragmaticHero: Merlin believes in the Ancient non-interference clause under most circumstances. But he recognizes the threat posed by the Ori is too great and is the only Ancient to decide to try to do something about it.

* FriendToAllLivingThings: As a Nox, she values all life. This makes her the perfect impartial judge between a symbiote and its host. The main reason she voted for Skaara was that she was convinced that being a Goa'uld host is a FateWorseThanDeath.

* LoopholeAbuse: The Nox are PerfectPacifistPeople, but at the end of "Pretense", Lya hides and protects one of the Tollans' ion cannons so they can still fight back. She claims that she is still a pacifist because she never fired it, although she admits that she walked a fine line.

* IChooseToStay: At the end of "Beast of Burden", Chaka decides to stay and lead the Unas in revolution rather than return to his home planet.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: When one of her followers decides to challenge her authority, she keeps her position by kicking the challenger's ass in combat.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: During the formation of the Free Jaffa Nation he pushes a plan to award representation according to army size, which probably not coincidentally means he ends up as ruler.

Formerly a High Priestess in the service of Apophis, and an old lover of Teal'c's. She made contact with the team in season 4, claiming to have successfully communicated with the symbiote inside her and taught it to defect to the Tok'ra. Unfortunately, that symbiote turned out to be [[HeelFaceMole Tanith]], who promptly killed her as soon as he got a body of his own.
