Biography
Background information
Carolyn is the daughter of the base's commander; Major General Hank Landry, and his ex-wife Kim Lam. Carolyn was assigned to Stargate Command not knowing that her father would be the commanding officer. Her original estrangement and feelings of hostility towards her father, which grew as a result of resentment towards him not being present as she grew up, gradually faded as Carolyn began to understand how hard it must have been for her father not being able to express the truth due to his duty's classified nature. The relationship improved to the point she aided in Landry's attempts to reconcile with ex-wife Kim, which ultimately were successful. Before joining Stargate Command she worked for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
