Daniel's Quarters

Dr Daniel Jackson
Civilian Anthropolgist
Civilian Adviser Joint Forces, Unit SGC
Team Member SG-1

Dr Jackson joined the SG-1 team on a voluntary basis to study the cultures of other planets. He holds a PhD in Anthropology, Archaeology and one in Linguistics and has prior experience with the culture of Abydos. He is an expert in ancient cultures and lagnuages in addition to current ones; he speaks 23 languages including ancient Egyptian. Originally he was contacted by the military to decipher a mysterious heiroglyphic cartouche. His translation on the cartouche allowed the Stargate to be opened for the first time. He married Sha're, an off-world human and native to Abydos. His humanistic, liberal approach is often in conflict with Jack O'Neill's militaristic approach. Some see him as a soft, brainy, clumsy scientist who carries  a wide-eyed enthusiasm with him through every mission.
