Torren John Emmagan

"Well, if it's all right with you, I was thinking of Torren John, after my father and after you."

- Teyla Emmagan to John Sheppard

Torren John Emmagan is the infant son of Teyla Emmagan and Kanaan. He was named after John Sheppard and Teyla's father.

Before birth
"The child will serve the cause."

- Hybrid Kanaan.

Since Teyla was pregnant with Torren, she realised that he would have the same abilities as she and Kanaan has. Because of her child, Teyla was able to pilot a Hive Ship much easier than she had last time and managed to take complete control of a Hive Queen since her last attempt on the Mobile drilling platform.

The given abilities of Torren had greatly intrigued Michael, thinking it would serve a great purpose in his plans for galactic domination and had Teyla captured.

Birth and after
When Sheppard's team found Teyla, she started having contractions. McKay was left to look after Teyla, and later had to deliver the child, albeit very reluctantly. However, McKay was able to have delivered the baby. After arriving back in Atlantis, Teyla named the baby Torren John.

Teyla later devoted much of her time looking after Torren. She discovered that he would only sleep if she would carry and walk him. After Kanaan was eventually released back to Atlantis, he was to look after him after Teyla agreed to join the First Atlantis Reconnaissance Team. McKay once dropped him, though he claimed he jumped out. McKay also claimed that Teyla is keeping Torren from McKay after the incident. However, she eventually handed Torren to him for a minute, before Teyla took him back.

Alternate realities

 * In an alternate timeline, Torren was taken by Michael and had his mother killed.

Behind the scenes

 * The baby's first name was Torren, apparently named after Teyla's father. However, her father's name was Tughan, not Torren.
 * Despite being a baby boy, the actual baby that portrays Torren was Annalise MacCulloch, who is evidently a girl.
