Biography
Frank Cromwell and Jack O'Neill used to be friends. But when O'Neill, who was in the Special Forces, he has been hit and left behind by Crowmell who made a decision to save the rest of the team. Even if he wanted to go back and rescue O'Neill, he didn't, thinking that O'Neill was dead. O'Neill has been taken prisoner in an Iraqi prison for four months. Because of this, O'Neill took Cromwell for responsible to have been abandoned behind enemy lines (SG1: "A Matter of Time").
Character's evolution
"A Matter of Time" (1998)
As all communications have been lost with Stargate Command, Colonel Cromwell and a Special Forces unit are sent in the facility right to sub-level 28. They meet Dr. Janet Fraiser who tells them that, unlike what they thought, SGC is not under alien invasion.
When Colonel Jack O'Neill eventually meets Cromwell, he is surprised to see him sent by the Pentagon. O'Neill introduces Cromwell to Captain Carter. Carter realizes that time is really slowing down because of the black hole thanks to Cromwell's watch. General Hammond meets Crownell as well. Hammond orders the complete evacuation of the facility but asks for two volunteers to remain and set the auto-destruct sequence. O'Neill and Cromwell volunteer.
Alone in the SGC control room. Crowmell discovers the image of Henry Boyd, visibly scared. Some time later, O'Neill asks Cromwell to enter an identification code on the computer to initiate the self-destruct sequence. But when Cromwell reminds O'Neill his misadventure in Iraq, O'Neill is quite upset with this.
Carter eventually comes in with a new idea, sending a specific bomb through the wormhole in order to provoke a power surge big enough to shut down the Stargate. Cromwell and O'Neill agree to do it. When a chair shatters the control room windows, some glass pieces wound Cromwell. O'Neill eventually orders Cromwell to set the timer to 20 seconds. But as the bomb timer is set, the iris fall apart inside the wormhole. O'Neill is sucked in but Cromwell manages to grasp O'Neill. O'Neill orders Cromwell to start the countdown, but a piece of glass cuts Cromwell's rope. O'Neill grasps him but Cromwell eventually releases O'Neill's hand, sacrificing himself. He falls inside the distorted wormhole.
