- "Teal'c, I saw you stand up to a god. You refused to kill. I saw you make that decision… In that moment I learned everything I needed to know to trust you."
- —Jack O'Neill, (SG1: "The Enemy Within")
Teal'c [pronounced ˈtiːəlk with an apostrophe], is a Jaffa who was First Prime of the Goa'uld System Lord Apophis. After he betrayed his "god", he joined the Stargate Command to become part of the SG-1 team during over 12 years. He originated the Jaffa Rebellion with his mentor Bra'tac, and freed the Milky Way galaxy from the Goa'uld and the Ori along with his teammates and allies.
Biography
Background
Teal'c (name given by his father which means "Strength" in Goa'uld language[2]) was born circa 1899[1] on a world under the domination of the Goa'uld System Lord Cronus. His father, Ronac, served as First Prime of Cronus. Because he failed to win an unwinnable battle, Ronac was murdered by Cronus, and Teal'c and his mother were exiled to Chulak (SG1: "Fair Game", "Threshold"). When he was a young boy, he received his first Prim'ta, the larval form of the Goa'ulds, which gave him a perfect health and long life. He then became a true Jaffa (SG1: "Children of the Gods", "Bloodlines").

"Reunion" (Stargate Atlantis)
While Colonel Carter is packing her stuff to leave Stargate Command for Atlantis, Teal'c visits her in her lab and encourages her for her new assignement. For him many things have been done for the last ten years, but now, she's needed in Atlantis. Carter feels that she's leaving with her work unfinished, but Teal'c says that her work will continue, only in a different place. Promising to not be so far away, they hug before Carter leaves through the Stargate to Atlantis.
"Midway" (Stargate Atlantis)
Stargate: Continuum (2008)
Teal'c is invited by the Tok'ra on the Tok'ra homeworld, along with SG-1 and Major General O'Neill, to watch the extraction ceremony of the last System Lord Ba'al who has been captured. After three hours passed to enumerate all of Ba'al's crimes, the Goa'uld symbiote is finaly extracted from the host and throwned to the floor.[3] Later, Teal'c leaves Stargate Command to go to lunch with his teammates on General O'Neill's invitation.
Notes
- In "Holiday", Teal'c was briefly played by Richard Dean Anderson as he has switched consciousness with Colonel O'Neill by touching the Ma'chello's soul switcher at the same moment. During a scene, Teal'c (Anderson) started to shave his head because of his Jaffa condition, while O'Neill (Judge) refused.
