The Wraith Queen was a female Hive Queen.

Biography
This queen lived during the Lantean-Wraith war over 10,000 years ago and led her forces against the Lantean's during their siege of Atlantis. She was in command of a Wraith cruiser at the time which got shot down over the planet sending it plummeting into the world's ocean. She survived the crash landing but was now stranded on the planet and was incapable of leaving her ship as it was at the bottom of the sea. Thus, she hibernated within the vessel waiting for the chance to escape.

After 10,000 years, she awoke and felt with her mind activity within a nearby Lantean Mobile drilling platform. Using her telepathic talents, she took control over Teyla Emmagan who was part Wraith allowing the queen to use her as a puppet to enter the base. Setting the self destruct on her cruiser, she then swam between the nearby vessel to the platform. Once inside, she killed two Human's from the Atlantis Expedition and fed on them. She was then confronted by Colonel John Sheppard but used her mental powers to take over him and attempted to use him to pilot the Gateship away from this world so she could join the Wraith. However, before she could accomplish this, Ronon Dex came and fired at a window which sent water into the base which knocked them queen unconscious.

When she awoke again, she was interrogated by the Atlantis Expedition however she spoke in a position of power and demanded to be freed. It was then learnt that if she was not let loose then she would not show them how to deactivate the nearby Wraith cruiser's self destruct which would have devastated the planet as it was near a geothermal fault line. Teyla then entered the queens mind and tricked her into deactivating the self destruct sequence. The queen was then killed by John Sheppard.
