Egeria

Egeria was a Goa'uld Queen. She felt that it was wrong to use the Tau'ri as slaves and forcefully take them as hosts, so she spawned a legion of prim'ta that lacked the evil nature of the Goa'uld, becoming the Queen Mother of the Tok'ra. Ra, the Supreme System Lord of the Goa'uld Empire, learned of Egeria's actions and captured her. He removed her from her host, and imprisoned her in a stasis jar on Pangar. She was discovered by the Pangarans buried in a tomb. They then found that they could use her Goa'uld off-spring to create a drug called Tretonin. Unfortunately, Tretonin harms the user's natural immune system. When SG-1 arrived and discovered the drug and process to create it, they were concerned and contacted the Tok'ra. At first the Tok'ra had no moral qualms about humans using symbiotes for their purposes as the Goa'uld deserved to be treated no better than they had treated their hosts and slaves, but their opinion quickly changed when they learned that this was no ordinary queen, but Egeria, the mother of all Tok'ra symbiotes. Unfortunately, she died shortly after blending with the Tok'ra Kelmaa. (SG1: "Crossroads", "Cure")
