Typically quiet, Ronon is a very observant, calculating person who won't say anything unless he feels he has to. In battle, mercy has absolutely no meaning. Ronon ran into him in the obs deck and thought he was a monster that eats humans. All this had happened, before he was even 20 years of age. With the introduction of the human alien Jonas Quinn in season 6, the writers developed a relationship between the two aliens of the team "without making it seem exclusionary", and Teal'c is no longer the "Other" of the show. Despite all his strengths, in the end Ronon is only human and can die just as easily as the next person.

While engaging the ship and losing the battle, the location of Earth had been broad-casted to the Wraith from an alternate dimension, so the ship fled and headed straight for Earth. In actuality, this is mostly because Ronon harbours a deep fear of being completely alone. Expression through action though, is something that comes quite naturally. Ronon's hate for the Wraith is summed up with, "I cant leave this galaxy until every last Wraith is dead." [10] Teal'c's catchphrase is "Indeed". If given the chance to, he would gladly shoot at anything that needs shooting. Sateda was a technologically advanced planet resembling that of an Industrial Age world.

Ronon happily accepted, placing himself back into sorely missed territory and told Sheppard that he was leaving Atlantis after their mission. River Tam [re-podded] [10] Judge also described Teal'c as a "rebel in a society that doesn't tolerate rebels".

When the SG-1 team is captured on Chulak in the pilot episode of Stargate SG-1, Teal'c defects from Apophis and joins the SG-1 team. [10] The producers' original idea for Teal'c included long ears and a specific beard piece, but the make-up department got it down to just a forehead symbol, an Egyptian look, and the character's gold skin tone. The Goa'uld have long weakened one another by continuous civil war amongst the System Lords, and the Jaffa see the Goa'uld's inability to save themselves from the Replicators as proof that they are false Gods.

The members were Sam, Ronon, Marcus, Leela, Xander, Jason,?, Ravager, Bella, Lyta, Tim and Katara (sort of).
