Martouf

A leader in the ranks of the Tok'ra, Martouf (host to the symbiote Lantash) was the mate of Rosha (host to Jolinar). They spent over 100 years together. He was devastated when she was captured by Sokar and sent to his prison moon of Ne'tu. When she finally escaped and returned, she refused to tell him how she escaped. Martouf is soft-spoken, level-headed and wise, and has come to the aid of the S.G.C. (or to request their help) on more than one occasion. He shares a special, personal bond with Samantha Carter, who was the last host of Jolinar before the Tok'ra was killed by a Goa'uld assassin. He saw in Samantha many of the same traits he had once seen in Rosha / Jolinar.

Martouf and Sam remained close, though Carter's inability to work through which feelings for Martouf were hers and which were remnants from Jolinar kept them at somewhat of an emotional distance.

It was Earth where he would, in fact, take his final breath. Without knowing, Martouf had been subject to Goa'uld mind control, turning him into a Za'tarc. His attempt to assassinate the President of the United States ended in failure, and his friend Carter was forced to kill him. Martouf did not survive, but Lantash, in possession of all his memories, was placed in a stasis chamber by the Tok'ra.
