Jaffa

Teal'c is a Jaffa

Summary

There are two groups of Jaffa: those who follow a Goa'uld as a god and those who do not. The ones who have responded to Teal'c's cry for independence are known as Rebel Jaffa.

Notable Characters

• Teal'c
• Master Bra'tac
• Ishta
• Rak'nor
• Rya'c

Alliances

Rebel Jaffa have had alliances with:

• Tau'ri - Teal'c introduced his fellow Rebel Jaffa to the humans of Earth. The Rebel Jaffa have used the safety of the Alpha Site for several years, but in Season Seven, they decided to strike out on their own.
• Tok'ra - The relationship with the Tok'ra has always been strained, because when the Tok'ra were killed, "it was always a Jaffa at the other end of the staff weapon." However, through the efforts of the SGC, the Tok'ra and the Jaffa have made some progress in their relationship. Recently, though, the Tok'ra have also left the sanctuary of the Alpha Site to return to their ways of subterfuge because their numbers grow less with the agressive behavior against the Goa'uld practiced by the Rebel Jaffa and Tau'ri. One major thing that the Tok'ra did for the Jaffa was to modify Tretonin for the Jaffa, hoping to help them in their dependence on the Goa'uld.
