Joseph "Joe" Faxon was an ambassador assigned to negotiate with the Aschen.
Biography
After he was assigned to the SGC, he took an instant liking to Samantha Carter, even asking her out to dinner. When Faxon and Major Carter discovered that the Aschen were responsible for sterilizing the Volians, the Aschen advanced their plan to destroy the Earth's population. He told Carter to leave him behind so that she could make sure the SGC closed the iris, preventing the Aschen's biological weapon from reaching Earth. (SG1: " 2001")
He was trapped off-world, but survived.[1]
Alternate realities
- In an alternate reality where Earth was a devoted ally of the Aschen after an Aschen biological weapon had virtually eradicated the Goa'uld, Joe Faxon and Samantha Carter were married. When they were having trouble conceiving a child, Samantha discovered that the Aschen had managed to sterilize over ninety percent of Earth's population. When she revealed this information to Joe, he admitted that he had known about the sterilization, but the numbers were only supposed to be a third of what they actually were; he defended his decision by pointing out that the Goa'uld would have totally destroyed Earth, but Sam knew that the only difference was that the Aschen way was slower. Samantha managed to convince him to obtain a GDO for her and the rest of SG-1, but only agreed to give it up if Samantha had no further part in what they were planning. Despite this, however, Samantha threw herself into the plan once more after her former teammates died trying to get the message through the Stargate, and Joe Faxon was forced to watch his wife die in the attempt to send a message back through time to prevent Earth's alliance with the Aschen. (SG1: " 2010")
