Story
Colonel Jack O'Neil, USAF, was married to Sara O'Neil, living together with their only son, Charlie. However, after a tragic accident when Charlie shot himself with O'Neil's personal gun, O'Neil suffered a period of depression, retired from the Air Force and became anti-social.
When the Stargate was deciphered by Daniel Jackson, General West knew that O'Neil was suicidal and therefore perfect for the mission (in which he would go through with a team and detonate a nuclear warhead near the Stargate if there was any sign of danger), and had him reactivated.
On Abydos, O'Neil and the team found the indigenous population to be simple desert-dwellers. He made friends with a boy called Skaara, the son of the ambassador Kasuf, to the evil ruler Ra. During the fight against Ra's forces on Abydos, O'Neil fought in hand-to-hand combat against Ra's First Prime to regain control of the warhead (which had fallen into Goa'uld hands). As the motion picture played out, Ra attempted to escape, only to have O'Neil and Jackson transport the bomb to his ship, destroying it in orbit. O'Neil returned to Earth with all but Jackson (who had married a local woman, Sha'uri), and lied that the Abydos gate had been destroyed.
With the Goa'uld Apophis' incursion through the earth gate one year later, the military knew that the Stargate was still a threat. O'Neil was recalled by the new base commanding General, George Hammond. O'Neil admitted that he hadn't destroyed the gate, but only after a plan was revealed to send a more powerful warhead through "just to make sure."
After returning to Abydos, they discovered a cartouche which contained a list of Stargate addresses. From that, they learned that the Stargate led not only to Abydos but, to hundreds of other worlds as well. O'Neil was re-reactivated and made the team leader of SG-1, the lead field unit of Stargate Command. SG-1 comprises Colonel Jack O'Neil, Dr. Daniel Jackson, Captain/Major Samantha Carter and Teal'c.
O'Neil is somewhat of a wit throughout the series. Enemies and allies alike are subjected to frequent quips and facetious remarks. He often derides Carter and Jackson's esoteric interests, though it is frequently hinted that he finds intellectuals intimidating. He is irreverent towards authorities, including his own superiors, and especially revels in mocking the overly theatrical System Lords. He also commonly corrects improper grammar, most often saying, "It's whom!", usually doing this when the corrected has SG-1 at a disadvantage. As a last resort, and sometimes as a first, he will resort to sarcasm.
