Teal'c

In the science fiction television series Stargate SG-1, Teal'c is a Jaffa who is one of the leading authorities on Goa'uld on Earth. Once serving the System Lord Apophis as his First Prime, Teal'c defected in the first episode of the series after Colonel Jack O'Neill convinced him that he could save all the people in the prison with them. Teal'c turned his weapon on his fellow Jaffa and, with the help of SG-1, freed the humans. In the fourth-season episode "The Light" Teal'c states that he is 101 years old.
