Cameron Mitchell, or Cam was a Tau'ri from the Eur'uui Universe in the United States Air Force and was the leader of SG-1, since 2005 (1468 NE), taking command from Lt. Colonel Samantha Carter. Given the callsign "Shaft", Mitchell flew an F-302 fighter-interceptor, leading the Tau'ri forces in the Battle of Antarctica against Anubis' forces in 2004 (1467 NE). After making a full recovery, he requested to join SG-1, only to discover the other members, Carter, Teal'c and Dr. Daniel Jackson, had all left the unit to follow different paths. However, after a few months, he got the team back together. For most of his time as commander of SG-1, he fought the Ori. He was promoted to full-bird colonel in 2008 (1451 NE) and continued leading SG-1 to this day, Mitchell's leadership style being where everyone involved participates to the fullest of their abilities and defers to the specialist quickly when needed.

After the Stargate Union became established, he became the current leader of Alliance Joint Force's Nightwing Squadron, having been in the role since the First War after taking over from Wedge Antilles. One of his notable battles was leading his squadron in the Great Aerial Battle of Tordas,

Family

Romances

• Amy Vanderburg: Mitchell had a big crush on Amy Vanderburg during his time in high school. Little did he know, she too had quite a fondness for him, even breaking up with one of her past boyfriends so she could wait for Mitchell to ask her out to the prom.Reya Varrick: Mitchell shared a mutual attraction with the Galaran scientist Dr. Reya Varrick . His interest was first noticeable by his team right after he had been implanted with a memory from the Emissary Varta. During this memory, the Emissary indicated an unreciprocated romantic interest in Varrick. It is unclear if this implanted memory had any influence on Mitchell's own attraction, but unlike with the Emissary, Reya returned his affections. Cameron walked her to her home after she became upset at an official reception. Once there, they shared drinks and kissed before Mitchell was knocked unconscious by some type of electrical charge. Reya was killed and Cameron framed for the murder, even to the point of having the murderer's memories of striking her down implanted in Mitchell's mind. Cameron was later cleared of the crime, and was able to have the false memory implants removed. He mourned her death and was pleased he still remembered her after his trauma with the Galaran memory device.
