[edit] Introduction

SG-1 first met him when Ba'al was stealing Stargates to restore his power, which disrupted the distribution of the kassa crop. (SG1: "Off the Grid") Later, Teal'c approached him, seeking help against the Ori fleet which was amassing at P3Y-229. Teal'c convinced Netan enough to take three ha'tak vessels to prevent the Ori incursion. However, two of his ships were destroyed during the Battle of P3Y-229 and his own Ha'tak, with Teal'c and Netan on board was severely damaged. Netan thought that Teal'c led him here to weaken his forces and so he tortured Teal'c for revenge, but later withdrew and destroyed the damaged ha'tak when three ha'tak under the command of Bra'tac arrived. His attempt to leave Teal'c for dead was foiled when he was beamed back into the Odyssey just in time. (SG1: "Camelot", "Flesh and Blood")

[edit] Fall of leadership

Netan believed that the Tau'ri was of little or no threat to the Alliance. All of his seconds, especially Anateo urged him to fight them. Eventually, Netan realised that Anateo plans to have him killed, so he sent him on a fool's errand to hijack the powerful vessel, the Odyssey, thinking it would get Anateo killed in the process. However, he succeeded and planned a revolt against Netan. When Netan arrived and asked Daniel Jackson (who temporarily took command of the ship) where Anateo was, Daniel told him that Anateo had been there but "had to go" while gesturing to the window as Anateo was killed by Vala Maldoran accidentaly beaming him into space. Cameron Mitchell, trying to rescue the Odyssey and the other members of SG-1, impersonated Kefflin, a close confidant of Netan's. Mitchell succeeded, further destabilising Netan's already tenuous hold on the Alliance. (SG1: "Company of Thieves")

When SG-1 destroyed his third cargo train full of Kassa, he put a bounty on their heads. The bounty hunters failed and were taken out by Teal'c, Carter and a bus with the last being captured after taking out the rest as they were competition. Little did he know, a bounty was placed on his own head as he failed and his position was badly weakened. When one of the bounty hunters, Odai Ventrell failed to capture SG-1, Mitchell persuaded him that Netan is a far bigger target. Ventrell went to Netan's Ha'tak and killed the bounty hunter trying to kill Netan. He thought Ventrell saved him, but in the end, he pointed his weapon at Netan's head. It is very likely that Ventrell assassinated Netan and took control of the Lucian Alliance. (SG1: "Bounty")

[edit] Personality

Netan is ruthless and often merciless leader of the Lucian Alliance. He has evidently killed people, even his own seconds (including Gavos) who challenged or stood in his way. Despite this, Netan is still believed, by some fellow members as a coward, particularly when at one point, he refused to go after the Tau'ri, who Anateo thought was a bigger threat to them than even the Ori. Netan is also proven to be short tempered.
