Nicholas Rush

Doctor Nicholas Rush is a member of the team sent and later trapped onboard the Ancient vessel Destiny.

Before the Destiny
Nicholas Rush was a brilliant Machiavellian scientist, and an expert in Ancient technology, comparable to the likes of Samantha Carter and Rodney McKay. His research was hindered while he was married to his wife, Gloria Rush, however since her death, he has become more dedicated to science. His desire to explore the mysteries of the ninth chevron are his highest priority.

2009
In 2009 he was stationed at the Icarus Base in order to research the purpose of the Stargate's ninth chevron. After an unknown attack on the base, Rush alone was responsible for sending the Icarus personnel to the Destiny - an Ancient vessel situated in a far galaxy - with no way of returning.
