Jaffa characters in Stargate

This is a list of Jaffa characters appearing on the television series "Stargate SG-1". The Jaffa are a fictional race who are genetically engineered from humans by the Goa'uld, to serve as their soldiers and as incubators for their young.

Teal'c

Former First Prime of Apophis and founder of the Jaffa Rebellion, Teal'c is one of the most important Jaffa of all time. After having betrayed his master, he became a member of SG-1 and played a large part in the eventual foundation of the Free Jaffa Nation.

Recurring characters

Bra'tac

Tony Amendola played Bra'tac [ˈbɹeɪˌtæk] , one of the most frequently recurring characters on "Stargate SG-1". Bra'tac is Teal'c's former Jaffa master, teacher, and friend as well as the former First Prime of the System Lord Apophis. Once he realized that the Goa'uld were not gods, he renounced his loyalty to them and began a quest to rid the galaxy of the them. When he is introduced in season 1's "Bloodlines", he is initially suspicious of the humans, particularly O'Neill. This dynamic is played out somewhat comically, but Bra'tac slowly learns to trust and respect humans.Cite journal | last=Eramo | first=Steven | author-link= | title=Tony, Tony | journal=TV Zone | issue=Special #46 | pages=10–11 | year=2002 | date=July 2002 | url=] Bra'tac is over 133 years of age. [
* Bra'tac in season 1's "Bloodlines": "Not bad for a man of 133."
* Bra'tac in season 3's "Into the Fire": "In too great a number for an old man of 135."
* Bra'tac in season 5's "Threshold": "Twice, in my 137 years."]

In seasons 1 and 2, Bra'tac helps to save Teal'c's son, Rya'c from several threats and becomes a guardian to him. During a mission to find the Harcesis child (Shifu) on Kheb in season 3's "Maternal Instinct", Bra'tac is presented with the idea of Ascension but in the end decides against this possibility for himself. In season 6's "The Changeling", Bra'tac and Teal'c are badly wounded during a Jaffa meeting and lose their symbiotes, surviving only by taking the new drug Tretonin. Bra'tac is a main contributor to the Jaffa Resistance, a rebellion aimed at overthrowing the Goa'uld and establishing the freedom of all Jaffa. At the end of Season 8, Bra'tac and Teal'c convince the other members of the Jaffa Rebellion to attack Dakara in an ultimately successful mission. The Jaffa obtain freedom, and Bra'tac receives a position of honor. Bra'tac becomes a leader of the Progressive faction of the High Council of the Free Jaffa Nation, the governing body of the new Free Jaffa Nation but he still stays loyal to the SGC. Some time after the destruction of Dakara by the Ori, leaders of the Free Jaffa Nation meet to consider the future, but Bra'tac and Teal'c are badly injured during an ambush by a former enemy of Teal'c. When they get nursed back at the SGC, Bra'tac tells Teal'c that he is like a son to him.

Drey'auc

Drey'auc of the Cordai Plains, played by Salli Richardson and Brook Parker, is introduced in "Bloodlines" as Teal'c's wife and mother to Rya'c. Drey'auc remains a loyal follower of Apophis even after Teal'c had defected to the Tau'ri. She works diligently to restore Apophis's faith in her and her son so that the prim'tah ritual could be performed when Rya'c reaches the age of prata, or puberty."Bloodlines" ("Stargate SG-1")] Unable to support herself and her son, Drey'auc is forced to marry the Jaffa Fro'tak for financial and political security, but Fro'tak betrays them to Apophis when he notices that she had never stopped loving Teal'c. Shortly after saving Earth from a virulent plague hidden by Apophis within Rya'c's false teeth, she and Rya'c take refuge in the Land of Light, far from Goa'uld oppression."Family" ("Stargate SG-1")] Eventually, Drey'auc and Rya'c move to a Jaffa rebel camp, where her unwillingness to obtain a new symbiote to replace her matured one, at the cost of another Jaffa's life, leads to her death. She is cremated by her former husband, Teal'c."Redemption" ("Stargate SG-1")]

Gerak

Gerak, portrayed by Louis Gossett, Jr., is the former First Prime of Montu. He is first mentioned in the episode "Avalon, Part 2", and appears one episode later in "Origin". He becomes the first leader of the Free Jaffa Nation due to his controlling the largest Jaffa military assets."Avalon, Part II" ("Stargate SG-1")] As the leader of the traditionalist faction, he is the political rival of Teal'c and his progressives on the High Council. He firmly believes in freedom for all Jaffa, and is hesitant to form an alliance with Earth. Gerak also attempts to bring all former System Lords to justice."Origin" ("Stargate SG-1")] Several weeks later, Gerak helps SG-1 in fighting an Ori plan to construct a Supergate, but they inadvertently aid the Ori. Two of Gerak's ships are destroyed when the first Supergate components arrive from the Ori galaxy, forcing Gerak to flee."Beachhead" ("Stargate SG-1")] Gerak's forces are able to capture Ba'al and execute him before the Council, scoring a big moral victory for the traditionalists, but it turns out that this was only a clone of Ba'al, and the real Ba'al remains at large."Ex Deus Machina" ("Stargate SG-1")] Originally a firm opponent of the Ori, Gerak becomes convinced by a Prior that Origin should be the goal of all Jaffa. Gerak is transformed into a Prior, but Teal'c eventually reminds him of his true convictions. Gerak sacrifices his life to give the SGC a cure for the Prior Plague, knowing that the Ori loyalty failsafe would immolate him after. His final words are, "If I help you I shall die, but I shall die free"."The Fourth Horseman" ("Stargate SG-1")]

Haikon

Haikon, played by Tony Todd, is the leader of the Sodan people on P9G-844, where he worshipped the Ancients and spent most of his life in search of Ascension.

Ishta

Jolene Blalock played Ishta (meaning beloved or "greatest one" in Sanskrit), the leader of the Hak'tyl Jaffa and a love interest of Teal'c. Her former position as the Goa'uld Moloc's temple high priestess enabled her for years to secretly bring many girls to another world named Hak'tyl; Moloc would have killed the newborn Jaffa girls as needless otherwise. Ishta first appears in "Birthright" where the Hak'tyl ask the Tau'ri for an alliance, and the drug Tretonin seems like a solution to the Hak'tyl's symbiote problems. Ishta kisses Teal'c goodbye when she leaves Earth."Birthright"] Ishta reappears one year later in "Sacrifices" where she approaches Teal'c to help her kill Moloc. When the female resistance is forced to evacuate to SGC, until they find a new homeworld."Sacrifices"]

Oshu

Played by Kevan Ohtsji, Oshu is the First Prime of the System Lord Yu and makes his first appearance in "Fallen".

Yu's slow deterioration causes Oshu to start believing that even "gods" cannot live forever."Fallen" ("Stargate SG-1")] Oshu follows his master's orders and is forced to confine Teal'c to a cell. Teal'c eventually convinces Oshu to bypass Yu for the greater good, and the two seek out Ba'al to assume overall command against Anubis, with Oshu commanding Yu's fleet in his master's name. Oshu later visits the SGC when the System Lords chose to negotiate a treaty with the Tau'ri, speaking for Yu in the negotiations. He convinces Dr. Weir that Yu had nothing to do with sending a mothership to Earth, and suggests that they be let go to fight Ba'al and if necessary, die with honor."New Order" ("Stargate SG-1")] Oshu is last seen when Replicator Carter stabs Yu to death at the beginning of the Replicator invasion of the Milky Way. Oshu is presumed to have perished as well."Reckoning" ("Stargate SG-1")]
