Lastlight

"What I am is not a disease you can cure."

- Michael

Michael Kenmore is the name of the Wraith who was transformed into a human by the crew of the Atlantis expedition. Michael is played by Connor Trinneer

Introduction and the Wraith alliance
The transformation was made possible by using a Iratus bug retrovirus developed by Dr. Carson Beckett and his team. It suppresses the Wraith DNA and allows the human DNA that the Iratus bug absorbed to come through. originally When he turned into a human, he lost all of his former Wraith memories as well. The Atlantis team thought it wiser not to divulge this information to him, Michael eventually learned about his Wraith origins. Michael then kidnapped Teyla Emmagan and escapes .Teyla Emmagan was rescued while returning to his hive although Michael got away and returned to the Wraith.

Upon telling his queen of the retrovirus, their hive allied with the Expedition on the pretense of using it to feed on other Wraith. The alliance, however, was a trap to learn the location of Earth, and acquire a means of getting there.

Mistrusted by his hive and queen, who now saw him as an abberation, Michael chose to ally with Lieutenant Colonel John Sheppard in his attempts to stop the hive ships from reaching Earth, as well as rescuing Dex and Rodney McKay. They were successful, with Michael suggesting that they use the gas on his hive.

Still mistrusted by the Expedition, Michael was forced back onto the retrovirus, and grouped with the other transformed Wraith. He and about thirty others suspected something was wrong, and killed the squad assigned to guard Doctor Carson Beckett. Having already begun to revert, the Wraith summoned another hive. Sheppard ordered Rodney McKay to orbitally bombard the surface of the planet they were on to prevent any Wraith from leaving. Michael was presumed killed.

Super Wraith
"So now I find myself hunted by both humans and Wraith. So you can understand my need to protect myself -- to survive."

- Michael Kenmore

It was later discovered that Michael had indeed survived the attack and was transported onto the other Wraith Hive Ship that arrived on the scene. However, after being rescued, Michael was seen with suspicion by the other Wraith who realized that he was not 'clean' or 'pure' due to the Human taint in his DNA. He barely managed to escape with his life from the Hive Ship after being rejected by the Wraith he began setting up labs on four planets and experimenting with the Iratus bug and created genetically engineered species to take over the galaxy. one of which was settled by the Taranians after they fled Taranis. Sga-1 went to investigate their disappearance, and encountered Michael. Sga-1 barely escaped with their lives, but Michael and his army were forced to abandon the planet through the Stargate.

Hybrids and kidnapping the Athosians
"Just another dead world destroyed by the wraith abandoned by the survivors forgotten by both, a perfect place to conduct my work."

- Michael Kenmore

After the incident, Michael greatly altered his plans to galactic domination. He believed that the initial experiments were crude and altered the retrovirus to create a newer life form that was a perfect balance between Humans and Wraith. This would be a being that was far stronger then a normal Human but lacked the one weakness of the Wraith; the need to feed. The process was tested on himself and Michael lost his feeding organ in his arm. His plan was to bring about the extermination of the Wraith and replacing them with Michael's hybrids who would become the new dominant race in the galaxy.

He was responsible for the abduction of the Athosian people for his experiments in a plot that revolved around Teyla's pregnancy. He was also responsible for the creation of a clone of Carson Beckett and used the clone's memories to make use of the Hoffan Drug. After re-engineering the drug, he began a covert campaign of distributing it around numerous Human worlds who suffered a 30% fatality rate from this new 'galaxy sweeping' plague. Many Wraith Hives would continue their culling and abduct these Humans as well as feed upon them but would die in the process after being poisoned by the drug.

He engineered an elaborate scheme to capture Teyla by entering her dreams through telepathy that spanned 10,000 light years where he used an illusion of Kanaan, the father of her child, to leave clues for her. Michael dispatched a Dart to capture her and bring her aboard his cruiser where he revealed his plans and stated that she and her child had an important part for the future. His Cruiser headed towards his base of operations. However the Earth vessel Daedalus was in orbit with a brief firefight until Michael retreated into hyperspace. Michael took his ship to a dead world whose people were destroyed by the Wraith. There, he had another one of his laboratories to create more Hybrids in his quest for galactic domination. He showed great concern over Teyla's child due to the fact that it was the offspring of two individuals with the 'Gift'. This made it important for his plans to further enhance his Hybrids. He eventually discovered that the Atlantis Expedition had uncovered his base of operations and decided to terminate the individuals undergoing the process rather then leave any loose ends to be found. He took Teyla back to his ship in order to escape during an assault by Atlantis's flagship team. After Teyla's guards were killed by the clone of Carson Beckett, Michael came to take Teyla away. He revealed that in all his creations, like Beckett's clone, he implanted a biological imperative that made them susceptible to his telepathic influence which meant the clone could not kill him. He stunned the clone and took Teyla to his ship where they escaped from the world.

Alternate realities
"You know the irony is I never asked for any of this."

- Michael Kenmore

''In an alternate timeline where Sheppard was stuck 48,000 years in the future, Michael killed Teyla after giving birth to her child. The baby was all he needed to perfect the hybrids. He swiftly tainted the Wraith food supply and bought the them to their knees. He swiftly took over the galaxy. Earth were reluctant to mount some kind of defense against Michael with the new ship the Phoenix, but that ultimately failed. later The humans no longer contested with him, so they eventually abandoned the Pegasus galaxy.''

Due to Colonel Sheppard returning to his own time before he could kill Teyla this may have been altered, but this is yet to be confirmed.
