Character History: Teal'c was born in 1899. His father was the First Prime of Cronus. Cronus killed him for something he couldn't have prevented and Teal'c swore revenge. It was the driving force behind his quest to become the First Prime of Apophis. His mentor was the previous First Prime of Apophis, Bra'tac. Bra'tac was something of a father figure to Teal'c and was the first to express to him the belief that the Goa'uld were not gods. This was proven to Teal'c when, as First Prime, he was ordered to execute two jaffa and, instead, he told them to flee. Teal'c reported back to Apophis that he killed them and when Apophis did not realize the lie, he knew that Apophis was, indeed, just a man.
He did not turn on Apophis just then. He knew it would be foolish as he did not have anyone to help him fight the Goa'uld and free his people. It took many years before he met Jack O'Neill when Apophis was selecting a host body for his wife. Jack told Teal'c that he - Jack - could save the prisoners if Teal'c just helped him. Teal'c made a split-second decision to trust O'Neill and turned on his fellow jaffa, knowing that they were completely loyal to their god. It devastated him to kill them and, alone, he expected to simply remain there and die. But O'Neill told him "for this, you can sleep at my place" and he left with them.
Once on Earth, Teal'c gave an oath to the planet that he was no longer with the Goa'uld. This was not good enough for the US Government and they planned to send him elsewhere to make him a POW, more or less. He still told them what they want to know and, when it became apparent that one of the SG team members had been taken over by a Goa'uld, Teal'c didn't hesitate to fight him. When they could not remove the Goa'uld, rather than letting him escape, Teal'c killed him. It is proof enough to General Hammond that Teal'c should stay with the SG team and work with Jack O'Neill, Samantha Carter, and Daniel Jackson.
When the time of his son's Prim'ta - the first implantation of a Goa'uld larva inside a jaffa - comes around, Teal'c finally tells O'Neill that he has a son and a family, explaining that he felt they might be used against him by the US government. O'Neill gets Hammond to let them go back to Teal'c's world and Teal'c stops the Prim'ta. But his son, Rya'c, is ill and without the larva he will die. Teal'c removes his own larva - which in a jaffa serves as their immune system, making them dependent on one - and begs his unconscious son to forgive him for making him a slave to the Goa'uld. He begins to slowly die but thankfully the SG team has found another larva and, while it is too young to be implanted, they do anyway. This Goa'uld eventually dies from overuse as Teal'c uses it to keep himself and Bra'tac alive in the wake of an ambush that has left them both near death and has killed Bra'tac's larval Goa'uld. After it dies, Teal'c starts taking a daily injection of Tretonin (essentially a solution of ground up Goa'uld). Rya'c returns later, older and after his mother had died, and he blames his father for his mother's fate. It takes some time but the two of them reconnect through a dangerous mission to destroy Anubis' weapons.
One of the worlds they come to is a world popular for harvest by the Goa'uld. Teal'c had visited there once while in service to Apophis. The villagers normally ran and hid, but if one of them could not run, they all stayed. Because they would not submit to him, Apophis demanded that Teal'c kill one of the villagers. Teal'c chose a crippled man because he knew the villagers would flee if the crippled man was dead. He was recognized by this man's son when he returned with the SG team and put on trial. Teal'c did not fight it; he felt that he should pay for the crime he had committed while in service to Apophis. The man's son names him guilty and sentences him to death at midday and by his own weapon. Before he can be executed, another Goa'uld attacks and Teal'c defends the villagers. After which, he gives his weapon to his would be executioner and awaits his death. He tells Teal'c that he was wrong, the jaffa who killed his father is dead and Teal'c is a different man.
There comes a time when Apophis is captured by the SG team. His host body is dying and he needs a new host. No one is going to give him one, of course, and Teal'c stays by his side in the infirmary. Not out of any remaining loyalty, but to watch him die. He tells Apophis that the day will come when the jaffa use the Goa'uld as they are used, they will carry the larva until maturity and then destroy them. Apophis isn't the only Goa'uld that Teal'c was present for their deaths. Amonet, who took Daniel Jackson's wife as a host, tries to slowly kill Jackson and Teal'c is forced to kill her to save him. One of his past lovers, Shau'nac, is murdered by a Goa'uld who is pretending to be part of the resistance against them. The resistance knows better, but Teal'c can barely rein in his hatred and desire for revenge. He does kill that Goa'uld and it is all he can think of before he does such.
When O'Neill leaves the SG team, Cameron Mitchell comes in to take his place. They develop a similar relationship to the one he held with O'Neill. With this version of the SG team and with Major General Landry (who replaced Hammond) and Vala Mal Doran (a woman they'd picked up along the way) Teal'c was trapped on a space ship outside of time for 50 years. In that time, he and Samaantha Carter's relationship became something more intimate (as stated by the actors). When Carter found a way to send them all back in time so that they could leave the ship, Teal'c volunteers to be the one who remains outside of time for the trip so that he can stop them from taking the actions that trapped them all. He, alone, would carry the memories of that span of 50 years and would never be able to speak of it. He says that it does drive him a bit crazy, but true to his word, he does not speak of it.
It is after their return to the present day that I have taken him from.
And while Teal'c needs a daily injection of Tretonin, I'm just going to go It's Magic and say he doesn't need it in game, if that's alright. Then he won't die over and over and over again.
Abilities/Special Powers: Teal'c is from a warrior caste and has been trained mostly in Goa'uld weaponry. He can fly their fighter ships as well. He has perfect health from the larva/injection, a greater life span, and advanced healing. He can speak Goa'uld.
Third-Person Sample:
While Kelno'reem was no longer a state he could accurately enter, Teal'c still spent a period of time each day meditating and getting as close to that state as he could. He had done it for most of his first hundred years. It was not just habit, but a part of his life that was somewhat necessary to feel right.
The sounds of his door opening registered but he didn't react to it. He knew the footfalls enough to know who was entering. A very slight smile touched on his lips and his eyes opened, shifting to the intruder.
His intruder had something of a mischievous grin on her face, her dark hair down and bouncing ever so slightly with her movements. "I was trying to not interrupt," she said.
"Indeed." The word was touched with dry sarcasm. What other purpose did she have in this room other than talking to him? Her plan had been, quite plainly, to interrupt him.
"I just thought we should talk," she said, the grin growing a bit.
This had become something of a game, and with Vala it never seemed that winning the game was the goal. It always seemed to him that the game itself was the goal, to be played with according to the rules she set down.
"You wish me to divulge information that I cannot."
In truth, it pleased and amused him to watch her dance around the subject, to try and get him to give her some clue. Who had she coupled with while they were stuck outside of time for those fifty years? Yes, Teal'c knew, and he doubted that she truly wanted to know.
Daniel's name was the one she never asked about.
"I just want to know about my escapades with Cam," she protested, her grin almost cat-like.
She never asked because if she read the answer in his eyes, it might be devastating. There might be the knowledge there that they had not ended up together, that there had been nothing for her with him other than games and flirtations.
"I cannot tell you," he said as he rose from his meditative posture to blow out the candles. He never asked her not to ask. If he was firm about it, he expected that she would stop but...
It was a game, like so much with her, and he one did not mind playing.
First-Person Sample:
I have heard of Wonderland before. It is a children's story on Earth. It was not the world the MALP showed on the other side of the Stargate.
[Which... was not unheard of, but had only happened in rare instances.]
If this is not a world created by someone or something similar to Urgo... [Because that would be extremely annoying] ...then I am forced to question if this is, indeed, Wonderland or if I am experiencing the effects of the Rite of M'al Sharran again.
[And that would be an interesting trick, but perhaps without the Tretonin it was possible.]
