Khalek

From SGCommand

"I know you wish to take my life… and I promise you…before this is over…one of us will feel the pleasure."

—Khalek speaking to Daniel Jackson

Khalek was a Human-Goa'uld hybrid created by Anubis on P3X-584. Anubis reconstructed his own DNA and combined it with Human DNA and accelerated his evolutionary development using a DNA resequencer. Khalek had the genetic memory of Anubis (along with Anubis' sociopathic and homicidal tendencies), as well as powers of Near ascension such as psychokinesis, telekinesis, telepathy, rapid healing ability, and was well on his mental development to natural Ascension. At first, he claimed to be a victim of Anubis' experiments, but Daniel Jackson discovered the truth. Jackson warned that the risks he presented were too great to allow his continued survival, but Richard Woolsey advocated studying him. Jackson was right, and Khalek killed two guards while trying to escape. He gated to P3X-584, but a security measure sent him back to the SGC. Cameron Mitchell and Dr. Jackson then killed Khalek. (SG1: "Prototype")

SG-1's possibility to actually hold him back at times, made it possible for theories that the SGC also could develop a weapon against the Priors of the Ori. (SG1: "The Fourth Horseman, Part 1")

[edit] Trivia

• Before the episode aired, a draft of the original script was said on Gateworld to reveal that Anubis's purposes for Khalek was to make Khalek part of an army of warriors called the "Mashur", which was derived from the Goa'uld word "Mashur-nat" meaning "Mutation". Anubis's plans for this army was to train them to ascend and do battle with the Ascended Ancients on their plane of existence and ultimately destroy them. However, this was cut from the episode.
• Neil Jackson returned as a Wraith in the Stargate Atlantis episode "Vegas".
