Daniel Jackson
Daniel Jackson is a major character from the Stargate SG-1 universe.
A veteran of the first exploratory team from the movie Stargate, Dr. Daniel Jackson is an anthropologist, linguist and expert in ancient and current cultures; he speaks more than 20 languages, including ancient Egyptian. He had originally been contracted by the military to decipher a mysterious hieroglyphic cartouche. His subsequent translation of it allowed Earth's first discovered stargate to be opened. As a member of SG-1, Jackson's humanistic approach was often in conflict with Col. Jack O'Neill's militaristic style.
Some saw Dr. Jackson as a soft, brainy, clumsy scientist who carried a wide-eyed enthusiasm with him through every mission, but he earned the heartfelt trust and respect of O'Neill and all the others — never more so than after sacrificing his worldly existence to save millions of lives in Kelowna, a country on the planet designated P9Y-4C3. He didn't die, however, so much as he "Ascended" to a higher spiritual plane of noncorporeal existence. Even before this, he had been considered like a deity to the people of Abydos, the planet on which he'd chosen to stay following the first SG mission. Later banished from Ascension, with no memory of the experience, he returned to human form and rejoined SG-1.
This Stargate SG-1 character is played by Michael Shanks.
