Biography
{{Expand}}
1996
When the original team from
Earth came to Abydos through the
Stargate, Skaara met and befriended
Colonel Jack O'Neill, whom he came to idolize and respect. When
Dr. Daniel Jackson was being forced to execute O'Neill and his team, Skaara freed them by attacking the
Horus Guards. While he and his friends sheltered
Jack O'Neill|O'Neill and his team, Skaara came to develop a close relationship with O'Neill, seeing the colonel as a surrogate father figure, with Jack seeming to reciprocate by holding a fatherlike affection for Skaara. Later, he and the other
Abydonians rebelled and killed the rest of the guards, gaining their freedom.
1997
When
Colonel Jack O'Neill returned to
Abydos, he stayed at the
Abydos pyramid with
Major Louis Ferretti while
Dr. Daniel Jackson showed O'Neill the
Cartouche. When
Apophis arrived on Abydos, he and
Sha're were kidnapped and taken to
Chulak. Once there, he was made host to Apophis' son
Klorel. {{Cite|SG1|Children of the Gods}}
1998
When
Apophis and
Klorel launched an attack of
Earth,
Klorel was shot with a
Zat'nik'tel, or "zat-gun", and, for a time, the blast suppressed the
Goa'uld. Skaara was able to talk to
Colonel Jack O'Neill for a short time, and asked forgiveness for what he, under Klorel's control, was about to do. Later, when Klorel attempted to raise his
shields, Skaara was able to stop him momentarily but Klorel ultimately overpowered him and raised the shield. Eventually, Apophis and Klorel escaped the ship by
Stargate. {{Cite|SG1|Within the Serpent's Grasp|The Serpent's Lair}}
2000
When a
Death Glider Klorel was piloting crashed on
Tollana, Skaara managed to regain control and begged the
Tollan (people)|Tollans for help. However, since Klorel refused to give up the body, the Tollans held a
Triad to determine who had priority over the body. Skaara's archons were
Colonel Jack O'Neill and
Dr. Daniel Jackson while Klorel was defended by
Zipacna|Lord Zipacna.
Travell chaired the Triad while
Lya served as neutral archon. The decision was eventually reached that Skaara had priority on the grounds that he would otherwise live as a slave and that life as a slave is not life at all. The
Tok'ra were brought to Tollana and extracted Klorel. {{Cite|SG1|Pretense}}
2003
Skaara returned to
Abydos. Several years later, he helped
SG-1 find the
Eye of Ra in the
Abydos pyramid. He was later killed by
Anubis'
Jaffa, but he and the rest of the Abydonians
Ascension|ascended with the help of
Oma Desala. When SG-1 returned to Abydos to find out what happened, he explained how Anubis had destroyed the planet and Oma had ascended everyone. Skaara had not seen Daniel and tells SG-1 that they will not see him again for a long time before disappearing. {{Cite|SG1|Full Circle}}

Behind the scenes
Skaara and his father Kasuf, played by Erick Avari, are the only characters to be played by the same actors in the film and the series. Although Kasuf was the father of both Skaara and Sha're in the film, his connection to Skaara is mostly overlooked in the TV series, in which he seems to have only a daughter, Sha're, with the exceptions of Skaara's mention of Daniel as his sister's husband in "Pretense" and Kinsey's mentions in "Politics" that the Goa'uld took "Dr. Jackson's wife and her brother," referring to the events of "Children of the Gods".
