Lt. Col. Cameron Mitchell

Summary

Lt. Col. Cameron Mitchell is an accomplished F-302 pilot and led the F-302 squadron in the battle with Anubis over Antarctica. He was gravely injured in the battle, protecting the lives of SG-1 as they gained access to the Antarctic Outpost and the Ancient weaponry powerful enough to destroy Anubis' attacking fleet. Mitchell was granted his choice of assignments after he recuperated from extensive combat injuries. He chose to join SG-1, and was given command of the disbanded team. He was able to entice the veterans of the unit back, and now works in tandem with Lt. Col. Samantha Carter, Dr. Daniel Jackson, and Teal'c.

Personality and Motivations

Obviously intelligent based upon his positions as a pilot and now on SG-1, Mitchell also has great memory retention and dedication to his work. He not only read, but studied the SGC mission reports, and is able to recall details of them when new discoveries relate to the past. It is a factor that has helped Mitchell get up to speed quickly in SG-1.

As has already been described, Cameron Mitchell is a very driven person. Once he sets a goal for himself, whether it is to reunite SG-1 or regain the use of his legs, he is unstoppable until he achieves it. When Landry first met him and asked to describe his faults, Mitchell listed his as being impatient (9.01 "Avalon Part 1"). Landry dismissed this as being common for the type A personality of pilots. Later, Cameron explained to Fergie that his impulsiveness and hotheaded nature is what gets him into trouble, and is something he hates about himself (9.14 "Stronghold"). His friend Bryce Ferguson noted that Mitchell's drive and instinctual ability to see opportunity was a good characteristic.

When Mitchell expressed his guilt and his doubts, his best friend explained "Just be yourself Cam, it's pretty damn good." As for being a little crazy, Ferguson rightly points out: "You have to be a little nuts to have a job traveling to other planets through a freakin wormhole." Cameron is still driven by his impetuous nature, but is on a journey of self-discovery. When Teal'c explained he was able to fight Ba'al's brainwashing attempt because he knew himself, Mitchell nodded and muttered to himself "Right. Yeah, I'm working on it."

His impetuousness has gotten him into trouble on SG-1. He blindly started work on a puzzle, which set off the booby trap that lowered the ceiling (In his defense, however, they were already trapped at the time). Immediately after getting out of that trap, he enthusiastically pulled the sword from the stone, forcing him into a painful duel with a holographic knight (9.02 "Avalon Part 2"). Another time he pressed a button in a lab blindly, looking for a light switch, receiving an instant tongue lashing from Daniel and inadvertently awakening the evil Khalek from stasis (9.09 "Prototype"). His impulsiveness in pursuing his attraction to Reya Vallick led to his being accused of her murder, and may have inspired her ex-husband's jealous rage (9.12 "Collateral Damage"). He admitted to his friend Ferguson that his impatience has gotten him into trouble, and blamed this characteristic as the cause of Fergie's injury (9.14 "Stronghold").

Mitchell is an extremely emotional man. He became visibly upset when he learned SG-1 had been disbanded (9.01 "Avalon Part 1"). He was visibly excited at his early adventures with the SGC, such as when they explored Avalon (9.02 "Avalon Part 2", 9.03 "Origin"). He tamped down on his anger when arguing against the false faith of the Ori (9.08 "Babylon", 9.11 "The Fourth Horseman Part 2"). His anger came out forcefully when he was told by the doctor there was nothing that could be done to help Bryce Ferguson (9.14 "Stronghold"). He struck the coffee vending machine, breaking the glass and the equipment before storming away, calling back he'd pay for the machine. Later, he breached military protocol by going behind enemy lines without backup. He risked his own life and Daniel and Sam's, who followed to protect him, in his blind need to take action against something, anything. Unable to do anything to save Fergie, Mitchell did everything possible to save Teal'c. He would have been captured or killed by Jaffa if not for Jackson's and Carter's intervention. They did not condemn him however, but seemed to understand his need, and covered his path of retreat from the returning Jaffa while he ringed up to the mothership, arriving just in time to save both Teal'c and Bra'tac.

Mitchell is extremely loyal to his comrades. He supported his father through his recuperation (9.12 "Collateral Damage"). He remained a loyal friend to former classmate Ferguson, partly out of guilt...but there was also a genuine friendship (9.14 "Stronghold"). Instead of bringing him flowers, he brought him "something" in a plain brown shopping bag. He stayed by Daniel and Vala's sides when they were incapacitated by the Ori weapon (9.02 "Avalon Part 2"). He formed a bond with Jolan that made him defend the Sodan even when their intelligence appeared faulty (9.10 "The Fourth Horseman Part 1"). After his experience with the Galaran memory device, he did not want to see that technology used on anyone (9.12 "Collateral Damage").

However, when his friend was ill, he went out of his way to pull strings to be able to give Ferguson a taste of the life Mitchell felt should've been rightfully his. He questioned Carter on whether using the alien technology now made him a hypocrite. All he knew was that it was a small gesture to give comfort to a friend when nothing could alleviate Mitchell's own guilt (9.14 "Stronghold"). The only reason he left Ferguson's bedside was because his teammate Teal'c was in mortal danger. After Teal'c expressed his thanks, Mitchell repeated the same words Ferguson said to him about his own rescue: "If it had been anyone else, I would've done the same thing. We watch each other's backs cause it's our job right?" Teal'c saw through the ruse as easily as Cameron had when he was on the receiving end of that statement.

This loyalty also gives Mitchell a very personal connection to his work. He almost quit the Air Force because of his own guilt over the accidental deaths of civilians by his plane's bomb (9.12 "Collateral Damage"). He was very concerned about the people succumbing the Ori plague on P8X-412 and requested their help (9.05 "The Powers That Be"). When asked if his team was all right, he hesitated before responding they were fine but needed medical help for the locals. It is unclear whether he did not recognize the symptoms in himself, or put his own needs second to the population's. During the mission to Galar, after Reya Vallick was killed, Mitchell was given diplomatic immunity and could have left the planet (9.12 "Collateral Damage"). Instead he insisted on an investigation and wanted to ensure her real killer was brought to justice. He also felt guilty that, not only did his fellow pilot Bryce Ferguson save his life and become injured himself, the injury caused Mitchell to take Ferguson's place in the F-302 program (9.14 "Stronghold"). This guilt was compounded when he discovered the shrapnel lodged in Fergie's skull created a lethal aneurysm, even though Bryce continuously told him not to blame himself. When Teal'c was captured by Ba'al, Mitchell returned from personal leave to be part of the rescue mission.

Despite this impetuous nature, Mitchell has an innate sense of fairness also means he often tries reason first before firing his weapon. When Vala Mal Doran was scheduled to be executed for her crimes against the people of P8X-412, Mitchell appealed to their reason and convinced them to hold a trial, and managed to allow Dr. Jackson to stay in her presence due to the proximity issue they had at the time (9.05 "The Powers That Be"). He tried to talk the Prior out of his actions before launching the Mark IX warhead (9.06 "Beachead"). He used reason, logic, and empathy in faith to try and connect to the Sodan (9.08 "Babylon").

A spiritual person himself, he acknowledged he was the last person to stand in the way of another's beliefs. However, he felt justified and obligated to expose charlatans for what they were...especially when he learned the truth of the Ori (9.03 "Origin and 9.11 "The Fourth Horseman Part 2"). When Haikon, believing all Mitchell needed was faith to realize the Path of Origin was the way to enlightenment, explained Mitchell may only understand once he was at the point of death himself. Having been to that point twice already, Mitchell darkly replied: "I've already been there. I understand" (9.08 "Babylon"). Though not previously ascended, like Daniel or Orlin, Mitchell's own life and near-death experiences give him credibility in speaking to others about faith and the false promises of the Ori.

Family and Relationships

Family

Mitchell and dad watching the first launch of Columbia

Father and son

Mitchell's mother

Cameron had a close relationship with his father (9.12 "Collateral Damage"). Though scared after first seeing his father after the test pilot accident, he smiled for his father and was embraced by his dad. Somehow, his father's attitude made him feel like everything was going to be okay. Mitchell's father was also his confidante after the F-16 incident that almost made Mitchell quit his commission. Mitchell keeps a picture of himself and his father in his locker at the SGC.

Cameron's mother was at his hospital bedside while he recuperated from injuries sustained during the Battle of Antarctica (9.01 "Avalon Part 1"). She was very distraught at his condition.

Cameron has also described having a "bible thumping" grandma, an Uncle Marvin, and an Aunt Emma. (9.03 "Origin", 9.01 "Avalon Part 1", and 9.13 "Ripple Effect", respectively).

Romance

Reya and Mitchell

Wondered when Carter was discussing alternate realities if, in some parallel universe, he got to second base with Amy Vandenberg (9.13 "Ripple Effect").

Had a tryst with a flight attendant at some point in his past (9.14 "Stronghold").

Mitchell shared a mutual attraction with the Galaran scientist Dr. Reya Varrick (9.12 "Collateral Damage"). His interest was first noticeable by his team right after he had been implanted with a memory from the Galaran Emissary. During this memory, the Emissary indicated an unreciprocated romantic interest in Varrick. It is unclear if this implanted memory had any influence on Mitchell's own attraction, but unlike with the Emissary, Reya returned his affections. Cameron walked her to her home after she became upset at an official reception. Once there, they shared drinks and kissed before Mitchell was knocked unconscious by some type of electrical charge. Reya was killed and Cameron framed for the murder, even to the point of having the murderer's memories of striking her down implanted in Mitchell's mind. Cameron was later cleared of the crime, and was able to have the false memory implants removed. He mourned her death and was pleased he still remembered her after his trauma with the Galar memory device.

While speaking with Reya Varrick, Cameron expressed an understanding when she explained she had been married, but the job got in the way (9.12 "Collateral Damage"). It is unclear whether Mitchell was referring to his own personal experience, or just knowledge from seeing similar events happen to family or colleagues.

Superior Officers

Mitchell and Landry

General Hank Landry: Landry was very belligerent to Cameron when Mitchell first reported for duty, looking for Cameron's "kryptonite". He seemed to find Mitchell's service record too good to be true. Even as he berated Mitchell, Landry had already confessed his strategy: "I like yelling at people, no one gives me the damned chance." Mitchell has become comfortable enough in Landry's presence to express his straight-forward analysis complete with informal quips. However, he immediately recognizes when he has gone too far, such as when he realized Landry overheard him when he told Daniel: "He has no idea what you just said" or when he seemed to include Landry's query with his own "stupid" question. (9.02 "Avalon Part 2" and 9.13 "Ripple Effect", respectively). Mitchell makes sure to observe military protocol in Landry's presence, immediately standing and/or coming to attention when the General first appears, and making sure his uniform is immaculate. He certainly seems to respect the commander of the SGC. Landry in return, has shown respect and concern for Mitchell. He sympathized with Mitchell's wish to remain with Daniel and Vala before insisting he needed Mitchell's judgment to observe the missionary for this new Origin religion (9.03 "Origin"). When Teal'c was captured by Ba'al, Landry told Mitchell he did not have to return to duty, and helped Mitchell gain access to the Galaran memory device on Earth (9.14 "Stronghold").

General Jack O'Neill: General O'Neill visited Mitchell when he was recuperating from injuries sustained during the Battle of Antarctica. O'Neill expressed gratitude for Mitchell's efforts and offered him any posting he wanted. When Mitchell requested to join SG-1, O'Neill let him, however, he neglected to inform Mitchell that all of the members of SG-1 had moved on to other projects. His next surprise for Mitchell was much more pleasant. He set up a flight with Mitchell in an F-302, partly to get Mitchell "back in the saddle" flying the craft he crashed in, and partly to further gauge Mitchell's character. O'Neill appeared to approve of what he saw, since he seemed to echo the sentiment he claimed Landry told him: "you're going to be fine, Mitchell." (9.01 "Avalon Part 1" and 9.03 "Origin").

Colonel Lionel Pendergast: Served with the commander of the Prometheus at one time, presumably during his stint as commander of a squadron of F-302s. It was from Pendergast that Cameron's call sign of "Shaft" was revealed (9.06 "Beachhead"). Pendergast and Mitchell have a cordial relationship, with Pendergast even referring to him by his nickname "Cam" (9.06 "Beachhead", 9.07 "Ex Deus Machina").

Daniel Jackson

Jackson and Mitchell

Daniel Jackson visited Mitchell while he recuperated from injuries sustained during the Battle of Antarctica. At this time Daniel expressed his heartfelt gratitude for Mitchell's efforts in saving his life, and consequently helping their mission to save the planet succeed (9.01 "Avalon Part 1"). Daniel once again shared that sentiment when reintroduced to Mitchell upon the Colonel's transfer to the SGC. He offered Mitchell the use of his apartment, since at the time, Daniel planned on leaving Earth for the Atlantis expedition.

Mitchell, in return, had an almost hero-worship of Daniel Jackson and his team. He used flattery, a sense of obligation, distraction, and genuine affection to entice Jackson back to the team. When Vala and Daniel were in comas from the Ancient Communication Device, Mitchell sat vigil as long as his duties allowed, and worked to try and save his new friend from the device (9.02 "Avalon Part 2" and 9.03 "Origin"). Once Daniel had recovered, Mitchell continued to harangue him to join the team. He was present when Dr. Jackson succumbed to the unforseen after-effect of the kor mak bracelet, and Mitchell was able to call for help (9.04 "The Ties That Bind"). Either from this hero worship, or the familiarity that has formed between them, Mitchell not only knows how Daniel takes his coffee, but what his favorite blend is (9.13 "Ripple Effect").

Even before Daniel officially rejoined SG-1, he worked with Mitchell on a few missions. Apparently, Jackson finally acquiesced to Mitchell's repeated requests, because the Colonel neither hesitated nor asked when he slapped the new SG-1 patch to Jackson's uniform (9.07 "Ex Deus Machina"). He refers to Daniel respectfully by his title to others, but to Daniel himself, Mitchell uses his last name only, calling him "Jackson", in the same way he referred to his wingman Redmond and his co-pilot Banks (9.01 "Avalon Part 1"). To Mitchell, it seems, this is a comfortable appellation for a comrade in arms. He has also called Daniel his "wingman" (9.06 "Beachhead").

Jackson and Mitchell appear to have developed a comfortable working relationship. They trade quips with each other in an easy banter and work as equals on missions (9.04 "The Ties That Bind", 9.11 "Fourth Horseman Part 2", 9.13 "Ripple Effect"). They also play basketball together, which indicates they enjoy spending some free time with each other (9.06 "Beachhead", 9.10 "The Fourth Horseman Part 1"). However, this does not prevent Daniel from jumping in when the newest member of SG-1 makes rookie mistakes (9.09 "Prototype). He has also expressed his doubts at times for some of Mitchell's decisions. Jackson was on full alert when they returned to the planet where Mitchell was captured, while Cameron was relaxed and unworried. Daniel's caution appeared more appropriate since they were ambushed (9.10 "The Fourth Horseman Part 1").

Jackson respects Mitchell's sense of justice, similar to Daniel's own, and also recognized Cameron's tenacity. He expressed this when speaking to the Emissary of Galar: "Now, I've only worked with the guy a short time, but I'm pretty sure he's not going to let this one go." (9.12 "Collateral Damage"). Like Col. Carter's report of the incident on Galar, Dr. Jackson was apparently quite heated in his description of what happened on the planet and what was done to his teammate.

Samantha Carter

Carter and Mitchell

Although he refers to Dr. Jackson as "Jackson", in the familiar "buddy" way he does other colleagues, Cameron Mitchell is on a first name basis with Lt. Col. Samantha Carter. She calls him "Cam", and he calls her "Sam" (9.01 "Avalon Part 1"). Whether this is from an earlier acquaintance or another reason is unclear. She appeared genuinely happy at his transfer to her old position as leader of SG-1, and they planned to have breakfast together when she was "Earthside" again.

Samantha was part of the delegation who proudly presented Mitchell with his Medal of Honor while he was still in his hospital bed (9.01 "Avalon Part 1"). She also knows some of his background, such as his father being a test pilot (9.12 "Collateral Damage"). However, she was unaware of his tragic mission with his F-16.

Samantha and Cameron work well as teammates on SG-1, both following military protocol, and in knowing when to let the other's expertise dictate the course of action (see for example 9.09 "Prototype"). Cameron also enjoys teasing Samantha on her brain power, and acknowledges he does not understand most of what she explains (9.09 "Prototype", 9.11 "Fourth Horseman Part 1", and 9.13 "Ripple Effect"). Mitchell, however, is smart in his own right, and has a keen awareness of what has happened, and what SG-1 has accomplished through reading the past mission reports. Though Cam may not follow Samantha's hows and whys, he does follow the what, and, like with Daniel Jackson, will cut to the bottom line with their explanations, such as when he flipped through her dense report on the anti-Prior device's ability to transmit a frequency blocking use of their powers by calling it an "anti-Prior gun" (9.10 "Fourth Horseman Part 1").

When Mitchell was reliving traumatic memories of his past to absolve himself of a murder, Carter stood by his side while Jackson and Teal'c worked on other aspects of the investigation to clear their teammate (9.12 "Collateral Damage). Ostensibly she was monitoring the Galarans' equipment, but she spent most of her time by Mitchell's side, just trying to be supportive. Like Daniel, she expressed her anger at the Galarans after Mitchell's experience quite vividly in her post-mission report. She also took time to comfort Mitchell when she brought him the Galaran memory device he requested (9.14 "Stronghold"). She empathized with his telling his dying friend about the program by pointing out she had told two people close to her about it and asked him if knowing the truth would bring Ferguson comfort.

Teal'c

Teal'c and Mitchell

Teal'c has an interesting relationship with Colonel Mitchell. Despite Mitchell's enthusiasm and ill-hid attempts to entice Teal'c back to SG-1, Teal'c remained unmoved. He did promise to forward names of possible candidates to SG-1 when Mitchell first approached him about rejoining (9.01 "Avalon Part 1"). He immediately came when Mitchell indicated Dr. Jackson's life was in danger, and decided to remain with Daniel and Cameron when the scientist recovered. However, he squelched any of Mitchell's enthusiasm that he would return to the team. Teal'c again repeated this sentiment when they were on yet another mission with Daniel and Vala, stating that he was only there to help Daniel Jackson (9.04 "The Ties That Bind"). However, when he departed after that mission, Mitchell expressed his confidence that Teal'c would be back.

Teal'c has also taken advantage of Mitchell's enthusiasm for adventure. When trapped in a stone chamber, Teal'c fired his weapon against the stone slab blocking the door (9.01 "Avalon Part 1"). Although it may have just been to test the door, his enigmatic smile at Mitchell's frantic reaction indicates Teal'c may have also engaged in a bit of hazing for the newest member of SG-1. Teal'c responded to Mitchell's flippant demeanor in the face of danger at one point by mentioning Mitchell at times reminded him of O'Neill (9.04 "The Ties That Bind"). Cameron took that as a compliment. Based upon Teal'c's response to Mitchell's reaction, he did not necessarily mean it as such. If an alternate Teal'c's reaction to Mitchell is any indication, at times Mitchell's demeanor annoys the Jaffa (9.13 "Ripple Effect). The alternate Teal'c seemed to take undue pleasure in physically beating up the Mitchell of this reality...a move that disquieted the alternate Mitchell of his own team. But perhaps the emotions of an alternate self should not be transposed onto the Teal'c of this reality.

Despite this occasional testing, Teal'c has tolerated Mitchell's quips and is even beginning to trust him. He appeared shocked when Cameron first suggested they help Vala while Daniel was still in his sickbed (9.01 "Avalon Part 1"). However, this did not prevent Teal'c from also deciding to join the mission to Avalon and attempting to help Mitchell defeat the knight (9.02 "Avalon Part 2"). He sat at Mitchell's side while they held vigil over the ill Daniel and Vala, and worked together to destroy the communication device before it killed the pair (9.03 "Origin"). They worked well together to save Daniel and Vala (9.03 "Origin"). He acquiesced to Mitchell's lead while they were conning some aliens in a plan to reverse the effect of the kor mak bracelets on Daniel and Vala (9.04 "The Ties That Bind"). He eventually accepted Mitchell's invitation to rejoin SG-1 (9.07 "Ex Deus Machina"). He was very aggressive in interrogating Volnek on the whereabouts of Mitchell (9.08 "Babylon").

Although annoyed by Mitchell's breach of protocol in addressing the Jaffa Council, the duo operated smoothly when uncovering both the intelligence on Ba'al and Gerak's deception (9.07 "Ex Deus Machina"). Teal'c looked for Mitchell among his friends when he first announced the referendum for Jaffa democracy was going to happen, and appeared genuinely remorseful at Mitchell's friend's death, making a point to reach out to Cameron (9.14 "Stronghold"). After Mitchell saved his life and that of Bra'tac's in Ba'al's mothership, Teal'c acknowledged he was in Cameron's debt (9.14 "Stronghold"). Cameron denied the gesture, saying he was just doing his job to watch his teammate's back, with Teal'c only giving a knowing nod in response. Mitchell had returned from leave and left his dying friend's bedside to be part of the mission. Teal'c recognized the lie as much as Cameron had when Fergie had said it to him.

Mitchell, on the other hand, has shown the same enthusiasm and interest in Teal'c as he did the other members of SG-1. He has declared Teal'c a genius a few different times and trusts his knowledge and wide experience (9.01 "Avalon Part 1"). Despite this obvious admiration, Mitchell has never appeared intimidated by Teal'c, questioning some of his sources and not abashed at impersonating Teal'c within the Jaffa's hearing (9.08 "Babylon").

Injuries Received

Injured Mitchell

Although the newest member of SG-1, Cameron Mitchell seems to be making up for lost time in sustaining injuries on missions with the SGC flagship team.

Off-world Missions

P8X-412: A Prior of the Ori unleashed a plague into the local population of the planet. Exposed to the disease, Mitchell fell into critical condition before the Prior cured everyone on the planet (9.04 "The Powers That Be").

P9G-844: Mitchell received several minor injuries in hand-to-hand combat with a Sodan warrior as well as a minor staff blast wound to his arm and a staff blast wound to his torso. He was cured through local Sodan remedies. Later, he suffered several minor injuries during Sodan warrior training called jomo se telek. As a ruse, Mitchell purposefully ingested sedative that gave him the appearance of death, knocking him unconscious for several hours. Before falling unconscious, he sustained several minor injuries in ritual duel (kel shak lo), and was struck in thigh by the blade of krantu staff, likely leaving a scar (9.08 "Babylon").

P9G-844: Mitchell was telekinetically knocked to the ground by Prior of the Ori. Then, he was similarly manipulated into the air, where he was choked by the Prior until the Prior's powers were blocked, causing Mitchell to fall several feet to the ground. He recovered quickly (9.11 "Fourth Horseman Part 2").

Galar: Mitchell was knocked unconscious for several hours by unknown electrical charge. He had his memories manipulated by Galar technology based on a Goa'uld memory recall device. Then, he relived several traumatic memories from his past in effort to discover what had happened to him (9.12 "Collateral Damage").

Aboard Alien or Earth Vessels

Prometheus: Mitchell was struck several times by a Teal'c from an alternate universe. Later in the same mission, he was shoved and presumably hit again by the same alternate Teal'c, after which his clothes were removed (9.13 "Ripple Effect").

Earth, SGC Base

Outside Isolation Lab 2: Mitchell was telekinetically thrown by Khalek against the corridor wall, sustaining a concussion (9.09 "Prototype").

Other Earth Locations

Antarctica: Before even joining SG-1, Mitchell sustained life-threatening injuries as leader of a squadron of F-302s . They protected SG-1 from Anubis's fleet, and Mitchell's craft took damage. He was able to still take out an al'kesh before crashing into the snow. He was in critical condition for a while. Later, he was in several months of therapy. Though his doctors believed he might be paralyzed for life, Mitchell fought back to be able to return to active duty (9.01 "Avalon Part 1").

Avalon, underneath England: Mitchell dueled with a holographic knight. The sword used by the knight did not cut him, but it did cause a painful energy surge into his body. The effects, though partially debilitating, were not permanent (9.02 "Avalon Part 2").

Characteristics and Idiosyncracies

Speaking to SG-5 after basketball with Daniel

Cameron Mitchell is laid-back by nature—a characteristic he sometimes exaggerates to throw potential adversaries off (9.03 "Origin", 9.08 "Babylon", 9.11 "The Fourth Horseman Part 2"). Sometimes for effect, and sometimes during times of stress, his Southern accent becomes more pronounced.

His pilot call sign is "Shaft", as in the cam-shaft of a vehicle (9.06 "Beachhead").

His upbringing was in a religious household, and he is able to quote scripture easily (9.03 "Origin"). Cameron is also an aficionado of popular culture, especially movies.
