Jonas Quinn Jonas Quinn

A human from Kelowna on the planet Langara, Jonas Quinn replaced Daniel Jackson on SG-1 for a year. Capable of quickly absorbing volumes of information, Jonas was a rather unlikely candidate for Jackson's replacement after his tragic death. He stood idly by as Jackson gave his life to save Kelowna from disaster, initially putting him on bad terms with Colonel Jack O'Neill and SG-1.

Convinced by O'Neill not to allow Jackson to be used as a scapegoat for the accident, Jonas stole as much naquadria as he could and defected to Earth. Wishing to make amends with O'Neill and the others for what had happened, he committed himself to reading every valuable text on the base -- especially Dr. Jackson's notes -- to prove himself worthy of joining the team.
