| == Summary ==
| |
| As a young child, Daniel Jackson lost his parents in a tragic accident he witnessed as they set up an exhibit in New York's Museum of Art. His grandfather Nick Ballard refused to adopt Daniel, leaving him to the mercies of foster care. Going to university at the age of just sixteen, Daniel is an archaeologist, linguist and anthropologist, with Ph.D's from UCLA (a top ten school for anthropology) and Chicago's famed Oriental Institute. Visionary genius who opened Earth's Stargate, solving in three weeks a mystery which had defeated Catherine Langford's team for two years. After the first mission to Abydos in which he helped Col. Jack O'Neill defeat Ra, Daniel stayed behind and married Sha'uri, the daughter of Kasuf. He was brought back to Earth a year later by Jack after Sha'uri, Skaara and a USAF sergeant were kidnapped by Apophis. Daniel intuited the impact of stellar drift and excavated the cartouche which provided most of the gate addresses. He made the SGC possible.

| Mission specialist on SG-1, which he joined initially in his quest to save his wife and brother from Apophis, Daniel's expertise in ancient cultures and languages is a vital element in the success of many of their missions. He also acts as the SGC's diplomat. Daniel is passionate, a devoted, wondering scholar and explorer, a true child of the universe. He has deep respect and sincere friendship with his closest friend Jack. In a tragic irony, Daniel's ex-girflriend Sarah Gardner became host to the Goa'uld Osiris. In a time when he was increasingly defeated by feelings of loss, grief and failure, Daniel ascended to a higher plane of existence after sacrificing himself to save lives on Kelowna. With the aid and encouragement of Oma Desala, he chose this path rather than die a terrible death from radiation poisoning, believing he could do more.

| Daniel remained ascended for a year but found it impossible to adhere to the rule of non-interference imposed by The Others on their kind. He came to the assistance of Jack when he was imprisoned and repeatedly tortured to death by Ba'al, Teal'c when he was trapped in a dream world after an ambush left him and Bra'tac sharing a symbiote and then the Abydonian people when Anubis threatened to destroy Abydos in his pursuit of the Eye Of Ra. Daniel made the choice to descend but had his memory erased by the ascended before he was sent back.

| He was discovered by the natives of Vis Uban who called him Arrom - naked one - and cared for him. Oma Desala placed him in the path of SG-1 who were chasing down leads on the Lost City and its advanced weaponry, the quest Daniel had assigned them in his last hours as an ascended being. Arrom initially rebuffed Jack, Sam and Teal'c but was convinced to return to the SGC where his true memories began to resurface. He was instrumental in an outrageous plan to destroy Anubis' superweapon, powered by the Eye of Ra among others. At the conclusion of this mission, Jonas Quinn returned to Kelowna and Daniel Jackson returned to his place on the SG-1 team. | |
