Before Joining the Stargate Program
Stargate Command
Col. Everett Young: 40’s handsome, capable, former SG team leader. Like the Jack O’Neill of ten years ago, but Young’s edges have tended to sharpen over time. He requested permission to serve the remainder of his commission on Earth upon marrying his wife, Hailey, two years ago, but for now he’s temporary commander of a secret off world base. The loss of two members of his team several years ago has taught him never to take anything for granted, and be prepared for anything. He stays on top of his team so they stay alive. (Casting Breakdown)
Icarus Base and Destiny
"Colonel Everett Young is the commanding officer on Icarus Base when this series of events forces us through the Stargate and they end up aboard this ship, the Destiny. And then, of course, within that, I, as the colonel, certainly take it seriously the responsibility of that. But boy, do I respect the man that I play; there's a lot of strength and stillness in him." (Louis Ferreira, MGM Character Profile video)
"If we start at the top in terms of crew ranking, Colonel Young is my character’s nemesis, there’s no doubt about that, and it’s quite serious. These guys are not having a petty conflict. Without giving too much away, there’s an episode, which we’ve yet to shoot, where a tragedy takes place aboard the Destiny and Rush tries to frame Young. They hate each other that much. Young is a soldier, while Rush is a scientist, and they just don’t get one another. As soon as they end up on the Destiny, the colonel is all about getting everyone home, and Rush is all about ‘How do we avoid that?’ So they’re against each other from day one and that’s been developing beautifully over the past six or seven weeks of filming." (Robert Carlyle, Reprint: Official Stargate Magazine Interview, Issue 29, July/August 2009)
After the stranded crew aboard the Destiny made contact with Earth via the Ancient Communications Stones, Young and the assigned commander of Icarus Base, Col. Telford, exchanged bodies. While Telford, in Young's body, briefed those on the Destiny about the efforts being made to bring everyone home, Young was given the chance to talk with his wife about his situation. He insisted that he'd do everything to return home, but she was not all that convinced. It appeared that their relationship had already been strained because of the secret nature of his position within the Stargate Program, and this one last mission, the temporary command of Icarus Base, sent her over the edge. Most likely, Hailey has no intention to wait for her husband's return. (Based on spoilers for "Air"; see Solutions Blog: SGU: New Recurring Character Adds More Conflict, January 23, 2009)

- Injured during attack on and evacuation of Icarus Base: Young manned the rail guns in the battlement of Icarus Base until Telford commanded that the base be evacuated. He was injured during either the battle or the evacuation of Icarus Base through the Stargate to Destiny. Although in a great deal of pain, he was still able to function.
