General Info
The age of Teal'c was 101 (one hundred and one) on the episode

Early life
Teal'c was born on a world under the control of Cronus, where his father, Ro'nak, served as First Prime of Cronus. After failing to win an unwinnable battle, Cronus killed Ron'ac, and banished Teal'c and his mother to Chulak, vowing to become First Prime of Apophis. He was taken under the wing of Bra'tac, Apophis' current First Prime. Bra'tac planted the seeds of doubt about the Goa'uld in Teal'c mind. Teal'c later married Drey'auc, and had a son, Rya'c.

1997
During the year of 1997, Teal'c was the First Prime of Apophis, despite the want for freeing the Jaffa from Goa'uld rule. During this year, Teal'c joined Apophis in the search for a new host for his mate, travelling to Earth and kidnapping a female United States Air Force officer along with Abydos where he and his other Jaffa kidnapped Skaara and Sha're. Watching on with the ritual of choosing Apophis' mate, Teal'c had to hide his distaste for the events. When Teal'c and his other Jaffa had to kill other prisoners along with Earth team SG-1 in a jail cell, Colonel Jack O'Neill was able to convince Teal'c that his task of freeing the Jaffa could be possible through the Humans, and defected to them allowing all to escape back to Earth. Despite concern about his loyalties, O'Neill was able to convince General Hammond to allow Teal'c to join SG-1.

When he realized that his son Rya'c would undergo his prim'ta, Teal'c and SG-1 returned to Chulak to to prevent the ceremony, meeting up with Bra'tac. Rya'c, however, had contracted scarlet fever, and Teal'c was forced to give his own symbiote to Ry'ac. However, Daniel Jackson and Samantha Carter were able to acquire another symbiote, which was given to Teal'c.

1998
When SG-1 successfully thwarted Apophis' attempt to invade Earth, Apophis chose to take his revenge by brainwashing Ry'ac. SG-1 was able to rescue Ry'ac, but the brainwashing was harder to overcome. Teal'c eventually was forced to zat Rya'c, freeing him. Drey'auc and Rya'c were then taken to the Land of Light.

1999
After Apophis claimed sancturary on Earth, Teal'c reviled in his former god's fall from power, vowing that the day would become a holy day on Chulak.

When SG-1 was kidnapped by Hathor, Teal'c left for Chulak, to raise an army to free them. He made an impassioned speech to the Jaffa, urging them to rebel. Only a few joined them, but with General Hammond's help, SG-1 was rescued.

When Cronus, Nirrti, and Yu came to negotaite with the Asgard, Nirrti framed Teal'c for attacking Cronus, but Teal'c was soon exonerated.

2000
Shau'nac, a priestess and an old friend of Teal'c, came to Earth claiming that she had convinced her symbiote, Tanith to join the Tok'ra, Teal'c refused to believe her. However, after kelnoreeming and communicating with his own symbiote, he was convinced to take her to the Tok'ra. Teal'c, however, was forced to endure Tanith's presence after he murdered Shaun'ac, to provide disinformation to Apophis.

Teal'c was captured by the Jaffa of Heru'ur, who planned to give him as a gift to Apophis. However, Teal'c convinced the Jaffa Rak'nor to defect and help him.

2001
Teal'c finally had his revenge on Cronus, when the robotic Teal'c was able to kill the System Lord, which also allowed the Tau'ri to gain Cronus' ha'tak. Teal'c was killed in an ambush orchestrated by Tanith, but Apophis revived him with the sarcophagus, and convince him that he was still his First Prime. Apophis was killed, but Teal'c still refused to believe the truth. Bra'tac was forced to preform the rite of m'al sharran on Teal'c, which succeeded in breaking the hold.

2002
After Daniel Jackson died and ascended, Teal'c retreated into himself to manage his grief. Unlike O'Neill and Carter, Teal'c bore Jonas Quinn no ill will, and actually took his desire to join SG-1 seriously. However, Drey'auc soon died, and Rya'c resented his father. After learning that Anubis was attacking Earth, Teal'c, Bra'tac, and Rya'c went on a mission to destroy the weapon. They succeeded, and Teal'c and Rya'c bonded.

2003
While attending a meeting of Jaffa rebel leaders, the Goa'uld attacked them, removing the symbiotes from the shol'vas. Teal'c and Bra'tac shared Junior between them, causing Teal'c to hallucinate. Daniel Jackson watched over him during that time. When SG-1 found them, Junior was already too overtaxed to save either of them, so Teal'c and Bra'tac went on Tretonin.

After being injured, Teal'c began to doubt his prowess as a warrior without his symbiote. Daniel Jackson, who had since descended, helped Teal'c to overcome his fears. During a meditation, Daniel had a subconccious flashback, seeing Rya'c and Bra'tac as slaves. A rescue mission was successfully undertaken, and Teal'c found his confidence renewed.

Later, SG-1 encountered the Hak'tyl resistance. Teal'c helped to convince Ishta, their leader, to take tretonin instead of stealing symbiotes, and they developed affection for each other.

2004
When O'Neill became commander of the SGC, he allowed Teal'c to move off the base. However, Teal'c code of honor forced him to intervene in disputes. He became close to his neightbor, Krista, and was framed by the Trust for murdering her boyfriend. However, Teal'c was exonerated thanks to the efforts of Carter and Pete Shanahan.

Rya'c, having met Karyn, an apprentice of Ishta, fell in love and asked her to marry him. Teal'c opposed the union, fearing that Ry'ac would soon have to choose between family and freedom, as he had. However, Teal'c eventually accepted Karyn, and approved of the union.

2005
When the Replicators invaded the Milky Way, they came into conflict with Ba'al, and wiped out most of the System Lords. Many Rebel Jaffa defected back to the Goa'uld. To stop this, Teal'c proposed that they take Dakara, to shatter the Goa'uld's image as gods. The plan worked, and with the use of a weapon on Dakara, destroyed the Replicators and brought about the fall of the Goa'uld Empire.

Teal'c is still part of SG-1, although now not in an offical manner. The Jaffa Rebellion has successfully pulled the plug for the Goa'uld and are now building their own society. Teal'c, however, is not glad over the way things are going, since the Jaffa High Council is based on military efforts and not on honour and integrity. Events came to a head when Gerak, the leader of the council, converted to Origin and became a Prior of the Ori. Teal'c was able to convince Gerak to abandon the Ori and help the Tau'ri.

2006
Teal'c was able to convince the Lucian Alliance to help stop the Ori from gaining a foothold in the galaxy. However, the plan failed, and Teal'c was tortured by Netan. However, the Odyssey was able to rescue Teal'c.
