Daniel Jackson (Eur'uui)

Daniel Jackson, Ph.D. is an archaeologist and linguist from Eur'uui Earth, and also a member of the Tau'ri-Jaffa Alliance flagship team, SG-1. He is also the person responsible for decyphering the Edanian power for the Allies. He is currently the foremost expert in Ancient language and history, which has made him one of the most valuable assets of the Alliance for his scientific breakthrough of the Origin Theory of humans and humanoid races that traced back to the Pre-Humans. He has at several times displayed he is an individual of great integrity, often passionately arguing against morally unsound plans. He tends to be very respectful of alien cultures, except when their culture involves immoral practices, and he often approaches the unknown with an almost childlike sense of awe. However, he seems to have a hard time accepting no-win scenarios.

Biography

Jackson was born on July 8, 1965. At age 8, Daniel lost his parents, Melburn and Claire Jackson, when they were killed in an accident at the New York Museum of Art. They were crushed while directing the relocation of massive stone blocks, effectively leaving Daniel an orphan. His grandfather, an archaeologist named Dr. Nicholas Ballard, had been too wrapped up in his own career, refused to adopt Daniel and as such, young Daniel was put in foster care.

As a child, his parents referred to him as "Danny."

Daniel eventually grew up to become an archaeologist, linguist and expert in ancient writing systems, languages and cultures. He worked under Dr. David Jordan at the University of Chicago and met Dr. Sarah Gardner during his time there. However, he was ostracized from the scientific community for his radical theories involving cross-pollination of ancient cultures and the Egyptian pyramids being landing sites for alien spaceships and were far older than previously thought.

He suffered from allergies and took a high dose of antihistamines everyday to treat them. He is also afraid of heights.

Personality

A civilian, Daniel often prefers using peaceful methods over violence which has often had him clashing with the other Stargate Command members who are part of the military including Lt. General Jack O'Neill. In recent years, since returning from Ascension, Daniel has retained his original sense of justice but has often displayed a lack of patience and has even gained a willingness to resort to military tactics which is demonstrated when he suggests that they kill Khalek instead of preserving him for the sake of studying him.

In addition, Jackson has also developed something of a deadpan, almost sarcastic sense of humor.

Despite being calm and the voice of reason for SG-1, Jackson is by no means a pushover or someone who can be simply underestimated. He can easily fight back and has even shown that his mental will is far stronger than anyone else's which is shown when he goes up against Replicator Carter. This is also demonstrated by his use of a M9 pistol, rather than a standard H&K MP5A3 submachine gun or FN P90 Personal Defense Weapon in most of his career with SG-1. Despite this, he eventually became capable with such weapons as seen during the battle with the Replicators on Cronus' Ha'tak and the rescue of O'Neill and "Lt. Tyler" from Jaffa, demonstrating training in small team tactics. When he first believed Vala Mal Doran to be a dangerous Kull warrior on their first meeting, he showed no hesitation in trying to kill the intruder with a Kull disruptor.

Due to his wife, Sha're being taken as a Goa'uld host, Jackson has developed something of a strong grudge against all Goa'uld. This is evident when he shoots a tank containing infant Goa'uld symbiotes despite Captain Samantha Carter warning him not to do so, stating that if he did do it, then they would be no better than the Goa'uld themselves.

• About the Entities “These Entities are something unlike any other form of beings we ever known, they are... immensely, no a word more than ancient. But I can imagine they are older than our own universe, or any other universes if that’s possible and for some reason the Ancients fear and respect them but never interact very often,”
