[edit] Biography

Amaunet was a Goa'uld symbiote who took on a female personality and became the beloved of the Goa'uld System Lord Apophis.

Apophis deeply cared about her, and so expended a massive search across the galaxy for a new host for Amaunet while she was kept in the belly of a Jaffa servant woman. Among the women brought for Amaunet's inspection were Sergeant Carol Keterings and Sha're. Amaunet rejected the former, but found Sha're, who Apophis had also desired, suitable and implanted herself within her, gaining possession of her body. Sha'res' husband Daniel Jackson came with SG-1 to attempt to rescue her and her brother Skaara, but Amaunet was in complete control and Jackson and the other Tau'ri were forced to leave without her. Jackson, from this point, remained with Stargate Command to search the galaxy for Sha're, in the hopes of getting her back.

Amaunet and Apophis mated with their hosts and concieved a human son. The child would be a Harcesis: the offspring of two Goa'uld who contains all the genetic memory of the Goa'uld, an act that was forbidden. Amaunet gave up control of Sha're, who was hidden away by Apophis on Abydos, for fear of making the child stillborn. The second the child was born, Amaunet regained dominance. Amaunet was tricked by a disguised Teal'c that Heru'ur, a rival System Lord, had stolen the child for his own, and explained this to Apophis. The child himself was hidden away amongst the people of Abydos.

Amaunet, following the fall of Apophis, went renegade and entered the service of Heru'ur. Amaunet somehow learned the truth of what happened to her son, and led an invasion force to Abydos, taking many Abydonians hostage and regaining her son. Concerned the System Lords would keep looking for him, Amaunet entrusted him to one of her handmaidens, who took him to sanctuary on Kheb.

At this time, a heavily armed commando team arrived, lead by SG-1, who freed the Abydonians and massacred Heru'ur's Jaffa in a massive skirmish. Jackson learned of Amaunet's presence and confronted her at gunpoint. Sha're couldn't gain dominance, and Amaunet was poised to kill Jackson with her Hand device, until Teal'c came and was forced to shoot and kill Amaunet with his Staff weapon.
