Henry "Hank" Boyd was a Major part of the Stargate Command and commanding officer of SG-10. He died on P3W-451 along with his teammates, torn apart with the planet, when one of the suns went nova and became a black hole.

Biography

According to his close friend Colonel Jack O'Neill, Boyd was a smart officer, a little bit like Captain Samantha Carter. Under O'Neill's personal recommendation, he has been put in charge of the SG-10 team in 1998 when it was created. P3W-451 was his first assignement and he discovered that the locals were somehow extinct not long ago (SG1: "A Matter of Time").

Character's evolution

"A Matter of Time" (1998)

On P3W-451, the SG-10 team is running as fast as possible to the planet's Stargate. When Captain Watts locates the DHD, Major Boyd orders Watts to dial Earth. All their movements seem like slow motion.

When Stargate Command manage to send a MALP on the planet, they eventually discover that Boyd and his team are scared, but they have to enlarge the camera focus and find a newly formed black hole. The camera image seems still.

Boyd's face is seen on the computer screens until the SGC manage to deactivate the wormhole with a bomb used to cause an energy surge.

Notes

• One doesn't know if Boyd is part of the US Air Force. He is a close friend of Jack O'Neill but the script doesn't precise his army corp.
• Boyd is "presumably" dead as, according to Samantha Carter, "Their bodies will be pulled apart by increasing tidal forces". Yet, as the time dilation is more important as one is close to the black hole, "but from their perspective, it couldn't have been open for more than a second." According to these statments, Boyd is considered as dead yet one cannot be 100% certain.
• Boyd has been called "Hank" by Jack O'Neill.

Behind the scenes

• Kurt Max Runte, Boyd's portrayer, will later play Colonel Kirkland in the Stargate SG-1 Season 7 episode "Lost City", Part 2.
