Harcesis
From SGCommand
Shifu, a Harcesis
- "The one who knows the secrets."
- —Kasuf in Daniel Jackson's dream
A Harcesis is a child born from two Goa'uld hosts. This is considered forbidden by the Goa'uld System Lords because the Goa'uld genetic memory is passed down to the offspring, making the child a threat. (Goa'uld reproduce their own kind asexually.) The Harcesis possesses all the knowledge of the Goa'uld who fathered it. SG-1 once sought the child of Apophis and Sha're, but the infant, Shifu, was found to be under the protection of the powerful being Oma Desala. (SG1: "Maternal Instinct", "Absolute Power")
[edit] Notes
Harcesis is possibly derived from Harsiesis, meaning Horus son of Isis.
