Goa'uld Characters in Stargate - Minor Characters

Minor Characters

  • Amaterasu (played by Kira Clavell) A System Lord named for the sun goddess Amaterasu in Japanese mythology. She visits the SGC after Anubis' defeat to negotiate a new arrangement against Ba'al. The war against Ba'al goes poorly, and she and Yu rally their armies for a last stand. Her motherships are amongst the first to be infested by Replicators. Kira Clavell originally auditioned for the role of Teyla Emmagan for Stargate Atlantis, but although she caught the eye of the producers, she was not "quite right for Teyla" and was given the role of Amaterasu instead.
  • Amaunet (played by Vaitiare Bandera) The beloved Queen of Apophis, named for Amaunet of Egyptian mythology, who abducts women from many different worlds to find a host acceptable to her. Amaunet ultimately chooses Sha're, an Abydonian woman and wife of Daniel Jackson. Amaunet/Sha're becomes pregnant by Apophis; as the child is a Harcesis born of two Goa'uld hosts, Amaunet goes into hiding on Abydos and becomes dormant so as not to harm the child. This allows Sha're to call Daniel for help, although Amaunet regains control after giving birth. Daniel takes the child, and Amaunet leads Apophis to believe that Heru-ur had taken him. After Apophis' defeat, Amaunet enters Heru-ur's service while searching for her child. During a raid on Abydos, she attacks Daniel with a hand device and Teal'c is forced to shoot her, killing Sha're as well.
  • Ares A System Lord, named for Ares of Greek mythology, who is defeated by Ba'al and flees to one of his former holdings, where the Tok'ra had resettled Harry Maybourne. He is killed by General Jack O'Neill when he destroys his Ha'tak with a time-traveling Puddle Jumper.
  • Athena (played by Sonya Salomaa) A minor Goa'uld, named for Athena of Greek mythology, who rose to prominence by allying with whichever Goa'uld was in power. Most recently she serves as Ba'al's lieutenant on Earth, under the alias "Charlotte Mayfield". Athena once allied with Qetesh to find the Clava Thessara Infinitas, only to be betrayed. To find it, she uses the Trust's resources to abduct Qetesh's former host Vala Mal Doran and probes her mind, but Vala escapes her.
  • Atum A a minor Goa'uld System Lord, named for Atum of Egyptian mythology, who was once a rival of Apophis. His last First Prime was Arkad who always led his armies to fight against Apophis over the last years of his reign. One of the planets under Atum's control was Co'rak which was later conquered by Arkad.
  • Bastet (played by Natasha Khadr) A System Lord, named for Bastet of Egyptian mythology, known for treachery, who came to power after the second Goa'uld dynasty's collapse. She votes to readmit Anubis into the ranks of the System Lords. She is eventually killed by Ba'al's forces.
  • Bynarr (played by Bob Dawson) An underling of Sokar and lord of his prison moon Ne'tu. The Tok'ra Jolinar once escaped Ne'tu by seducing him, for which Sokar ripped out one of his eyes. He is killed by his First Prime Na'onak, in fact Apophis in disguise, who succeeds him.
  • Camulus (played by Steve Bacic) A System Lord, named for Camulus of Celtic mythology, who visits the SGC to negotiate a new arrangement against Ba'al. After the talks break down, Camulus unexpectedly asks for asylum on Earth, revealing to Elizabeth Weir that his armies were one of the first to fall before Ba'al. Camulus later gives General O'Neill the location of a ZPM, but SGC scientists find that Camulus has tampered with the device so that it would explode if ever used. Camulus agrees to take the ZPM to Ba'al in an attempt to assassinate him. However, O'Neill is not confident that Ba'al wouldn't discover the sabotage as well and then use the tainted ZPM as a weapon, and so he secretly gives Camulus the inert ZPM from Proclarush Taonas instead. Camulus appears briefly in the alternate timeline of Stargate: Continuum as one of Ba'al's lieutenants. When Robert C. Cooper created the character for "New Order" he already had Steve Bacic in mind since he was already familiar with his work as Major Coburn in season 3's "Maternal Instinct".
  • Grannus One of Camulus' lieutenants, who was killed by his own Jaffa. However, he is still worshiped by fanatical followers. Named for Grannus of Celtic mythology.
  • Hathor (played by South African Suanne Braun) The Queen of Ra and mother of Heru-ur, named for the goddess Hathor of Egyptian mythology. She was imprisoned in a sarcophagus in Mexico and after being freed by archaeologists, she travels to the SGC and takes over the male population of the base using a weaker version of the brainwashing drug nish'ta. She is defeated by Teal'c and the women of the base, and escapes through the Stargate. Hathor builds a new army by brainwashing the Jaffa of other Goa'uld, and captures all of SG-1 except Teal'c. She creates an elaborate deception with a replica of the SGC and tries to convince SG-1 that they have woken in the future, in order to extract information from them. When this fails, she implants a symbiote into O'Neill, but he is saved by an undercover Tok'ra. Hathor's base is eventually assaulted by a force of rebel Jaffa led by Teal'c, Bra'tac, and General Hammond. Hathor is killed when O'Neill throws her unprotected into a cryogenic chamber.
  • Heru-ur (played by Douglas H. Arthurs) A powerful System Lord, named for Horus in Egyptian mythology. He is the son of Ra and Hathor, and his former holdings include the planets Tagrea and Juna. Heru-ur invades Cimmeria after discovering Thor's Hammer, an Asgard anti-Goa'uld device, is disabled (by SG-1 in "Thor's Hammer"). SG-1 and Gairwyn contact Thor, who arrives in his mothership and removes Heru-ur's armies and ships, forcing Heru-ur to retreat through the Stargate. He travels to Abydos to seize Amonet, the queen of his enemy Apophis, and her Harcesis child, but is beaten there by SG-1 and again forced to escape. Heru-ur eventually plans an alliance with Apophis; the Tok'ra and SG-1 sabotage their meeting in the Tobin minefield hoping to incite a war, not expecting that Apophis has brought a fleet of cloaked motherships with him. Apophis destroy's Heru-ur's ship and absorbs his forces.
  • Imhotep (played by Rick Worthy) A minor Goa'uld who designed the Great Pyramids on Earth. He attempts to gain power by disguising himself as the charismatic rebel Jaffa leader K'tano.

  • Kali (played by Suleka Mathew), named for Kali of Hindu mythology. A System Lord who attends a meeting to discuss their new threat; she accuses Olokun as her First Prime had found Jaffa bearing his mark on an attacking mothership. She votes to readmit Anubis into their ranks.
  • Khonsu (played by Adam Harrington), named for Khonsu of Egyptian mythology. An undercover Tok'ra posing as one of Anubis' underlords, who has captured SG-1 so he can pass on important information. He is killed by his First Prime Herak after his Tok'ra identity is exposed.
  • Klorel (played by Alexis Cruz) The son of Apophis, who takes the Abydonian Skaara as a host. Klorel accompanies Apophis in attacking on Earth, commanding his own Ha'tak. His mothership is infiltrated by SG-1, and Jack O'Neill is forced to shoot him to prevent him from using his hand device against them. Klorel is revived by a sarcophagus, but is forced to escape as SG-1 and Bra'tac destroy their two attack ships. Klorel eventually flees from Heru-ur to Tollana. The Tollan hold a triad (trial) to decide Skaara's request to have his symbiote removed, with the Goa'uld Zipacna representing Klorel. The Tollan rule against Klorel, and he is extracted from Skaara and sent to a planet of his choice.
  • Marduk (played by Alexander Kalugin), named for Marduk of Mesopotamian mythology. A Goa'uld so evil that his own priests rose up against him and imprisoned him in a sarcophagus with a flesh-eating creature that would prolong his suffering. However, Marduk survived by possessing the creature and is released by a Russian SG team. He possesses Major Vallarin and tries to escape, but is buried when Jack O'Neill sets off C-4 explosives inside his ziggurat. Marduk possessed the Eye of Tiamat, a powerful weapon.
  • Moloc (played by Royston Innes) A powerful Goa'uld named for Moloch of Canaanite mythology. In order to strengthen his armies, Moloc ordered that all female children born to his Jaffa be sacrificed in the Ceremony of Fire. Appalled by this, his High Priestess Ishta began to secretly take those children to another planet. These female Jaffa become the Hak'tyl resistance, a substantial force that launches regular raids against Moloc's forces and eventually ally themselves with the SGC. Moloc eventually discovers Hak'tyl, forcing Ishta's group to evacuate, and attacks a meeting of rebel Jaffa who are planning an insurrection against him. He then prepares his Ha'taks to crush a rebel army marching on his temple, but before he can give the order he is struck by two missiles fired by the SGC through the Stargate, and laser-guided to him by Aron.
  • Montu A minor Goa'uld named after Montu of Egyptian Mythology who served Ra, and later Ba'al. His First Prime was Gerak.

An inventor, he figured out the means to dial all the Stargates in the galaxy at once, that was used to defeat the Replicators. Nerus travels to Earth with information about an Ori beachhead at Kallana, but is revealed to be working for them. He is imprisoned in Area 51 without food until he is released (with a tracking device) in exchange for information about why Ba'al is stealing Stargates. As expected he returns to Ba'al, who executes him after finding he unwittingly brought along a SGC computer virus as well.
  • Olokun (played by Kwesi Ameyaw) A System Lord, named for Olokun of Yoruba mythology. He attends a meeting of the System Lords to discuss a new enemy, and votes to readmit Anubis into their collective. Anubis later sends his Kull Warriors against Olokun, slaughtering thousands of his Jaffa and capturing many of his commanders. At the time, the rebel Jaffa were attempting to recruit from Olokun's ranks. As the Tok'ra also had a spy in Olokun's inner circle, the rebel Jaffa asked them to assassinate Olokun. The Tok'ra refused for fear that Anubis would simply absorb Olokun's forces into his own, driving a wedge between the two allies. It is believed that either the rebel Jaffa agents or the Tok'ra spy could have compromised the location of the Alpha Site to Anubis. Olokun is eventually killed by Ba'al's forces.
  • Pelops Goa'uld who experimented on the people of Argos using nanocites. Named for Pelops, an ancient king of Greek mythology.

One of her holdings was P8X-412, where she enslaved the population to mine naqahdah, instituting mass torture and executions when quotas were not met. Qetesh once partnered with Athena to locate the Clava Thessara Infinitas, but betrayed her and kept the information for herself. Qetesh had an interesting relationship with Ba'al; though she once attacked his fleet at Selenis, crippling his flagship and slaughtering 10,000 of his best Jaffa, Vala would later claim that there was a "spark" between them. In the alternate timeline of Stargate: Continuum, Ba'al makes Qetesh his queen though she chafes at her role. She eventually betrays and kills him, attempting to seize his time machine for herself, but is killed by Teal'c.

The Tok'ra uncover evidence that he never left Earth, and he is found to have led various Cults of Setesh for thousands of years. In the present day he is leading a heavily-armed cult in Washington state, brainwashing his followers with nish'ta. He is killed by Samantha Carter as the ATF storms his compound.

  • Zipacna (played by Kevin Durand), named for Zipacna of Maya mythology. A Goa'uld who once served Apophis. He argues for Klorel being allowed to remain inside his host Skaara at a Tollan trial, while secretly plotting to destroy the Tollan ion cannon network. When his attack fails, he escapes through the Stargate. Zipacna later pledges allegiance to Anubis and recruits Osiris into his service. He commands an attack on the main Tok'ra base at Revanna, killing almost all the Tok'ra there but failing to find the symbiote poison. The rebel Jaffa have mounted several raids on Zipacna's forces under Kytano, and the Tok'ra Kanan's last mission was to infiltrate one of Zipacna's motherships. He is mentioned in the alternate timeline of Stargate: Continuum as serving Ba'al.
  • An unnamed Goa'uld possessed Adrian Conrad (played by Bill Marchant) and Frank Simmons (played by John de Lancie). It was the larval Goa'uld of a Jaffa captured by the Russians and acquired by billionaire Adrian Conrad in the hopes of curing his terminal illness.

Simmons uses him to hijack the Prometheus; after Conrad is shot the Goa'uld transfers into Simmons, who is blown out an airlock by SG-1.
  • An unnamed Goa'uld possessed Kianna Cyr (played by Emily Holmes). The Goa'uld was an agent sent by Ba'al to Langara to investigate naqahdria, who poses as Jonas Quinn's colleague. She plays a major part in designing an underground drilling machine and helps Jonas and SG-1 save Langara from an impending naqahdria explosion, not entirely out of self-interest. She dies saving her host from gas poisoning, an act noted to be highly unusual for a Goa'uld, who if dying will normally ensure the host dies as well out of spite.
  • An unnamed Goa'uld who takes Colonel Steven Caldwell as a host and who is loyal to The Trust. He sabotages Atlantis in an attempt to destroy it, but is exposed by Lieutenant Laura Cadman. He is interogated for the necessary access code to stop the destruction, but refuses to give it up so Lieutenant Colonel John Sheppard tasers him, allowing Caldwell to regain control and give them the needed code. Afterwards, the Goa'uld is extracted using Asgard beaming technology and presumably killed.
