DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY

Once a great scientist, he created many weapons to destroy the Goa'uld. Many of his people sacrificed themselves when the Goa'uld came to capture Machello, since his weapons had become a threat to the Goa'uld. He was eventually betrayed by his wife who had become a host to a Goa'uld. He was marked to become a host, but managed to escape by killing his jaffa captors.

For several years he was hunted by the Goa'uld until SG-1 stumbled on his planet. In order to preserve his knowledge and life, he switched bodies with Daniel Jackson, leaving the doctor to die in his sickly old body. He was convinced to return after realising that he was no better than the Goa'uld, taking one's body so that he may live on and was returned to his body to die a natural death. His knowledge was left in a tablet that remains on Earth.

One of his anti-Goa'uld devices killed all nine Linvers, rogue Goa'uld rival to the System Lords. And was let loose on the SGC which caused havoc since there was no Goa'uld for the device to destroy, causing hallucinations in their victims.
