Sha're

The princess daughter of Kasuf, from the desert world of Abydos. Sha're was given in marriage to Dr. Daniel Jackson when the archaeologist travelled to Abydos on the first Stargate mission. The two fell in love, and Jackson remained behind on Abydos when Abydos was freed from slavery to the Goa'uld System Lord Ra. One year later, the Goa'uld Apophis came to Abydos and kidnapped Sha're. She became host to his queen, the Goa'uld Amonet. Daniel joined the Stargate program for the sole purpose of finding his wife and freeing her from Amonet's control.

Jackson and SG-1 searched the galaxy for Sha're for more than two years before she returned to Abydos, and was killed. Teal'c was forced to fire his staff weapon at her, as Amonet was about to kill Jackson. But before dying, Sha're communicated with Daniel through the Goa'uld Hand Device, giving him a new mission: find her son, the child of Apophis, who contains all the knowledge of the Goa'uld.

Sha're's son Shifu was born on Abydos and hidden away amongst the people. The father, Apophis, was told that Heru-ur (a rival System Lord) had stolen the child. In fact, Jackson himself had delivered the boy and hidden him away. Shifu is a Harcesis: the offspring of two Goa'uld hosts (a forbidden act), who contains all the genetic memory of the Goa'uld. He was sent to the planet Kheb before Sha're's death, where he came under the protection of the powerful Ancient, Oma Desala.
