ALL ABOUT THEM!

character name: Jonathan J. "Jack" O'Neill
canon: Yes, SG-1
canon point: Around Season 3
important history: On the first mission to Abydos, O'Neill, grieving for the accidental death of his son due to him shooting himself with his gun, brought a nuclear warhead, believing the mission was suicide. -1996

After the mission to Abydos, O'Neill resigned from the Air Force. A year later, in 1997, Gen. George Hammond requested him to return to Stargate Command to discuss the events during the Abydos mission. The team returned to Earth with the gate address of Apophis' homeworld. Under the authorization of Hammond, O'Neill was made the leader of the team SG-1 with Carter and Jackson. They were sent off to Chulak, the homeworld of Apophis, along with SG-2 under the command of Kawalsky. SG-1 was captured by Apophis and nearly executed until O'Neill convinced Teal'c to join him. O'Neill was able to acquire a staff weapon and blast a hole in the cell, and his team, along with the prisoners was able to escape back to Earth. -1997

When Senator Robert Kinsey recommended shutting down the Stargate Program, O'Neill and SG-1 hijacked the Stargate, heading to coordinates that they had found on a previous mission. There, they learned that they were on one of two Ha'taks headed to Earth, controlled by Klorel, the son of Apophis, who had taken Skaara as a host. O'Neill was forced to kill Skaara to prevent him from killing Jackson, but he was revived with a sarcophagus. SG-1 was able to sabotage the mothership, and destroy Apophis' mothership in the explosion. SG-1 was hailed as heroes, and the program was allowed to remain active. - 1998

While exploring P3R-272, the Ancient's repository of knowledge was downloaded into his brain. However, Human physiology was not evolved to the point where his brain could handle that information, causing him to begin speaking Ancient and begin to die. However, his subconscious mind was able to write new addresses into the Stargate map, as well as build a generator that allowed him to gate to Othala, the Asgard homeworld. There, the Asgard erased the knowledge from his memory, told him of the Alliance of Four Great Races, and beginning the Asgard's long interest in O'Neill. - 1999


When O'Neill, Carter, and Jackson were captured by Hathor, they were told that the others were dead, and that they were 78 years into the future. O'Neill was the first to discover the ruse, and located Carter and Daniel. Hathor then implanted a Goa'uld symbiote into O'Neill, but Raully was able to cryogenically freeze him, and Carter revived him. As Hathor attempted to kill Carter, O'Neill grabbed the Goa'uld Queen from behind, and threw her into the liquid nitrogen, killing her. This caused the System Lords to prepare to launch an attack on Earth, but Thor was able to negotiate Earth's entry into the Protected Planets Treaty, with O'Neill's help, beginning a deep respect between the two - 1999


While on Edora, the Stargate was buried in a meteor shower, and O'Neill was trapped on the planet - 2000

general personality: Jack is a brave, irreverent, protective, skeptical, sometimes short-tempered man; an atypical but successful military leader. Together with his team, he's a bonafide hero of Earth. While Jack takes his commitment to the military seriously, he will lie about mission events when he believes fabrications or incomplete reports are necessary. Jack O'Neill is a bit of a maverick. On several occasions he has defied direct orders from his superior officers.

Jack has an amazing range of vocalizations for his favorite phrases, from casual to sincere to purely sarcastic. You have to hear him to know which meaning he's intending to impart. The most common ones used are: Oh, for cryin' out loud." when he is frustrated to "We've been in worse situations than this." when trying to cheer the team up but also calling his team kids. Jack was suicidal over the death of his son, to the point he was sitting on his son's bed, gun in hand, when he was recalled to duty. He went through the Stargate with the expectation he would kill himself to secure Earth from the dangers of the Stargate.

He shares a strong bond with Samantha Carter, even though they have few interests or characteristics in common. Jack's friendship with Daniel Jackson is one of the defining relationships of his life. Beginning with their first mission together, O'Neill felt only distaste for the scientist. With Jack's mind clouded by the death of his son, Charlie, his only ambition was to end his pain. The trek through the stargate offered that, and he leaped at the chance for a suicide mission. Though he kept his desire in check, looking out for his men and conducting himself as an experienced officer, he still prepared at every opportunity to blow himself up as an act of sacrifice for others, convincing himself that this was a noble deed. What he feels for Daniel runs deeper than he can admit or even truly express.
