Baal is a System Lord. According to Daniel, gifts from Baal have a habit of exploding, especially when he feels he has been insulted. Baal managed to capture Colonel Jack O'Neill, who had previously been possessed by the Tok'ra Kan'an, on one of his hidden outposts. Kan'an fled his body upon capture leaving O'Neill to be tortured and killed many times at the hands of Baal for the information he possessed. The outpost's location was discovered by SG-1 and given to Yu who attacked and presumably destroyed the outpost.
Myths of Baal:
The worship of the god Baal extends back to the 14th century BCE among
the ancient Semitic peoples. The word Baal means "master" or
"owner". Baal was common a name of small Syrian and Persian
deities. Baal is still principally thought of as a Canaanite fertility
deity. The Great Baal was Canaan. He was the son of El, the high god of
Canaan. The cult of Baal celebrated annually his death and resurrection
as a part of the Canaanite fertility rituals. These ceremonies often included
human sacrifice and temple prostitution. The worship of Baal extended
from the Canaanites to the Phoenicians who also were partially an agricultural
people. Both Baal and his cohort Ashtoreth, or Astarte, who is equivalent
to the Greek goddess Aphrodite, were both Phoenician fertility symbols.
Baal, the sun god, was fervently prayed to for the protection of livestock
and crops. Priests instructed the people that Baal was responsible for
droughts, plagues, and other calamities. People were often worked up into
great frenzies at the prospects of displeasing Baal. Since the Phoenicians
also were superb ship builders the religion and cults of Baal spread throughout
the Mediterranean world. The worship of Baal was found among the Moabites
and their allies Midinites during Moses' time. It was also introduced
to the Israelites. The religion of the god Baal was widely accepted among
the ancient Jews, and although it was put down at times, it was never
permanently stamped out. Kings and other royalty of the ten Biblical tribes
worshiped the god. The god's images were erected on many buildings. Within
the religion there appeared to be numerous priests and various classes
of devotees. During the ceremonies they wore appropriate robes. The ceremonies
included burning incense, and offering burnt sacrifices, occasionally
consisting of human victims. The officiating priests danced around the
altars, chanting frantically and cutting themselves with knives to inspire
the attention and compassion of the god. In the Bible, Baal is also called
Beelzebub, or Baalzebub, one of the fallen angels of Satan.
