The '''Serpent guard''' was part of the [[Apophis faction]]. He was killed in [[1997]] by one of the guards in the [[Stargate Command embarkation room]].

== Character's evolution ==

=== {{ep|Children of the Gods}} ([[1997]]) ===

A [[Apophis faction|faction]] of [[Serpent guard]]s under [[Apophis]]' command arrive by the [[Stargate]] inside the [[Stargate Command embarkation room]]. As the guards present here try to protect [[Senior Airman]] [[Weterings]] who is captured by one of them, [[Teal'c]], Serpent guards open fire for an answer with their [[Goa'uld staff weapon]]s. The Serpent guard is eventually killed by one of the airmen and falls.

Later, he is brought in the [[SGC infirmary]] for examination and may be an autopsy. Doctor [[MacKenzie (doctor)|MacKenzie]] started to examinate the Serpent guard bodies, noticing the belly pouch similar to the [[marsupial]]'s ones. According to him, they're not human.

== Notes ==

* The Serpent guard's face is visible only when he is layed down dead in the [[SGC infirmary]]. When he was alive, his face was hidden by his helmet.
* This Jaffa has a golden [[Goa'uld mark]] on his forehead. There is no logical explanation for this. Usually, a golden mark is the attribute for a [[First Prime]] ([[SG1]]: {{ep|Threshold}}). This would be considered as a goof, and no more explanation would be given.

== Behind the scenes ==

* The extra portraying the Serpent guard is not known.
