Character Biography
The team's medical doctor, Beckett was a Scottish man with a witty sense of humor.

In the fight against the Wraith, an insect-human hybrid, Beckett engineered a retrovirus which suppressed the insect DNA to allow the human DNA to dominate. The actual use of the retrovirus against Wraith brought up serious ethical issues, however. (Season Two, Season Three)
Beckett was killed in the accidental detonation of an explosive tumor he had surgically removed from one of Atlantis's scientists who had been exposed to a rare form of radiation in the city. (Season Three)
