Sokar was a powerful Goa'uld System Lord, also well known for his cruel and sadistic nature.
[edit] Biography
When the Goa'uld first arrived on Earth, he became the basis for various underworld demons, including the Biblical Satan. During that period, Sokar held an Unas host, though he eventually moved to a human one. For a time, Sokar was ruler of the Goa'uld, until an alliance consisting of several other System Lords, including Ra, Apophis, and Cronus, banded together to defeat Sokar. He was believed destroyed, but somehow survived. He conquered the world of Delmak, making it his homeworld, and terraformed its moon into a hell like world, naming it Ne'tu. His underlord Bynarr ruled Ne'tu, travelling to Delmak by way of Rings to inform Sokar of the suffering of the damned.
In 1999, he made his presence known again among the System Lords, by making Apophis a prisoner on Netu, as well as engaging in a war with Heru'ur. Within a year, however, he was prepared to launch a massive attack against the System Lords, which would have put him in control of the Goa'uld Empire. Realizing how dangerous that would be, the Tok'ra destroyed Netu while Sokar attempted to put down a rebellion begun by Apophis when SG-1 arrived attempting to rescue Jacob Carter. Sokar was killed when his ship was caught in Netu's explosion, but Apophis escaped and took control of his forces. (SG1: "Serpent's Song", "Jolinar's Memories", "The Devil You Know")
