context_page_description: Spanning ten years and several films, Stargate SG-1 developed an extensive and detailed backdrop of diverse characters. Many of the characters are members of alien species discovered while exploring the galaxy through the Stargate, although there are an equal number of characters from offworld human civilizations. While Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe are separate shows, they take part in the same fictional universe, so no character is internally show-specific.
context_section_description: 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.
  Amonet (also spelled Amaunet), played by Vaitiare Bandera (seasons 1–3) – See Sha're.
  Camulus, played by Steve Bacic (season 8) – A System Lord who visits the SGC in season 8's "New Order" to first negotiate a new arrangement against Ba'al only to later request asylum on Earth to hide from Ba'al. Camulus leaves Earth in "Zero Hour" with a ZPM, in an alleged attempt to assassinate Ba'al. However, Jack O'Neill gives him a dead ZPM and Daniel later states that Ba'al killed Camulus. Camulus appears briefly in the alternate timeline of Stargate: Continuum as one of Ba'al's lieutenants.
    Cronus, played by Ron Halder (seasons 3–4) – A System Lord, named for Cronus in Greek mythology. He was the one who banished Sokar. After Cronus punished Teal'c's father (Cronus's First Prime) with a painful death for losing an unwinnable battle, Teal'c became the First Prime of Apophis, mortal enemy of Cronus, to avenge his father's death. Cronus first appears in season 3's "Fair Game" alongside Nirrti and Yu to negotiate Earth's entry into the Protected Planets Treaty. Cronus is shot dead by an android Teal'c in season 4's "Double Jeopardy". Cronus appears briefly in the alternate timeline of Stargate: Continuum as one of Ba'al's allies.
  Hathor, played by Suanne Braun (seasons 1–3) – The Queen of Ra and mother of Heru-ur, whom archaeologists find imprisoned in a sarcophagus in Mexico in season 1's "Hathor". Her breath contains a brainwashing drug that enables her to influence males. After temporarily taking over the male population of the SGC in "Hathor", she creates an elaborate replica of the SGC in "Out of Mind"/"Into the Fire" to trick SG-1 into giving her much-sought information. O'Neill throws her unprotected into a cryogenic chamber, thus killing her.
   Heru-ur, played by Douglas H. Arthurs (seasons 2, 4) – A System Lord, named for Horus in Egyptian mythology. He is the son of Ra and Hathor, and is a sworn enemy of Apophis. Heru-ur is introduced in season 2's "Thor's Chariot" as an invader of the planet Cimmeria, but an arriving Asgard mothership forces Heru-ur to retreat. In "Secrets", Heru-ur unsuccessfully tries to seize Amonet and her Harcesis child to fight Apophis. In season 4's "The Serpent's Venom", Heru-ur eventually plans an alliance with Apophis, but after the Tok'ra and SG-1 sabotage their meeting, Apophis destroys Heru-ur's ship and absorbs his forces.
  Klorel, played by Alexis Cruz (seasons 1–3) – See Skaara.
  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, an
