Bert Samuels

Lieutenant Colonel Bert Samuels was formerly executive officer to General Hammond. Samuels, at the time a Major, brought Jack O'Neill to General Hammond at Stargate Command. When it was proposed that Earth should start using the Stargate to travel to other planets to gather information about alien threats, Samuels on numerous occasions suggested that they should bury the Stargate like the Ancient Egyptians did. Samuels was later reassigned to the Pentagon.
