An experienced Air Force officer, Charles Kawalsky served with Colonel Jack O'Neill in a black-ops mission to recover a Russian agent in East Germany in 1982. Kawalsky was assigned to the first Stargate team sent to Abydos, under O'Neill's command. Kawalsky was angry when he learned that Daniel Jackson had lied about being able to reactivate the gate to return to Earth. But by the end of the mission, the two had come to respect one another. Kawalsky was sworn to secrecy about what happened on Abydos, telling his superiors that nothing was left of the population, and that Jackson had died, so that no one would return to the peaceful planet to threaten the Abydonians. But one year later, Major Kawalsky was assigned to the team to return to Abydos and retrieve Dr. Jackson. As the first commander of SG-2, he later journeyed to the planet Chulak to back up SG-1. Before returning, however, he was possessed by a Goa'uld symbiote.

Because the symbiote was immature, it was unable to completely control him. Thinking he had wrenched his neck, he returned to the S.G.C. and reported only a headache. It wasn't until days later when the Goa'uld within him surfaced, demanding to be sent through the Stargate to Chulak, that it was discovered. Kawalsky asked for an operation to extract the Goa'uld, but the physicians did not know how to remove it without killing him.

Eventually the procedure could not be avoided, and Kawalsky, fearful of death, said his goodbyes to O'Neill. Though the operation appeared at first to be a success, the Goa'uld had, in fact, fully taken over his body. When he tried to escape through the Stargate, Teal'c and O'Neill stopped him. Kawalsky was killed.

Charles Kawalsky is remembered by many at the S.G.C. to be a noble officer, always willing to defend his team by any and all means.
