Anise
|
Freya
|
Anise/Freya is a scientist and historian. She is a member of the Tok'ra resistance group. The name "Anise" means "Noble Strength". Freya is from a planet where people are more open and direct about their affections for someone, than what is usual of many cultures on Earth. Freya is attracted to Jack O'Neill, while Anise likes Daniel Jackson better. Presumably these are not deep emotions, as Tok'ra 'love as one', as stated by Martouf/Lantash. Because of her name and outfit, Anise/Freya is occasionally referred to as 'Tok'ra Spice' in fandom.

Delek
|
Unknown
|
Delek is a member of the Tok'ra High Council and thus one of the leaders of the Tok'ra. He has only had limited dealings with Earth, and not very succecful ones. The highest priority for him is the interests of the Tok'ra, and he is worried about the Tok'ra alliance with the Tau'ri and the Jaffa. He appears to have somewhat lower view of human hosts than Tok'ra normally do, and do not appreciate them having too much influence on the symbiote, or too much independent spirit. Delek is thus worried about the effect of Tau'ri hosts on symbiotes, such as Selmak, and is not certain the Tok'ra should accept any further Tau'ri hosts.

Egeria
|
Unknown
|
Egeria was originally a Goa'uld queen, who realized the wrongs she and others of her kind were doing. She turned against the Goa'uld and started the Tok'ra - the rebellion against Ra and other Goa'uld System Lords. She is the queen mother of the Tok'ra, and has given birth to the vast majority of them. The name Tok'ra means 'Against Ra'. Egeria is kind and selfless, and proud of what her offspring have become.

Garshaw of Belote
|
Yosuuf
|
Garshaw is a Grand Councillor of the Tok'ra, and known as the 'most hunted Goa'uld of all time'. This, as well as her 'of Belote', might mean that she is originally a Goa'uld who has become Tok'ra. Just as the other Tok'ra, she does not like being referred to as a Goa'uld. The safety of the Tok'ra is very important to her, and she was suspicious of the Tau'ri at first. She originally opposed an alliance, believing the Tau'ri too primitive, as well as the fact that they were violently opposed to blending - something Garshaw took to mean the Tau'ri were repulsed by the very nature of the Tok'ra. Her host was slightly more open to the idea of an alliance, and eventually Garshaw also agreed.

Gerim
|
Aldwin
|
Symbiotes name is taken from the Stargate RPG book - it is never mentioned in the series. Gerim is only heard to speak once - usually it is the host, Aldwin, who is in control. was a member of the Tok'ra who had several dealings with the SGC. Aldwin has had several dealings with SGC, and they have generally been successful. The Tok'ra cause is most important to him, but as long as that is not jeopardized, he will help in any way possible. He is friendly towards SGC.

|
Jalen
|
Unknown
|
Jalen has had several dealings with SGC, and has responded to SG-1's distress call. She is generally friendly and helpful. We do not know the name of her host, nor much about her in general.

Jolinar of Malkshur
|
Rosha
|
Jolinar was an important and influential member of the Tok'ra resistance movement. She seems to have worked as an undercover agent among the Goa'uld often. She may originally have been a Goa'uld, who chose to join the Tok'ra. The reason for this is both her'of Malkshur', and that (according to Teal'c) Jolinar once had an army that was about to defeat a System Lord until Apophis and Ra joined the fight. Rosha was Jolinar's host, and she was very beautiful. According to Martouf, her eyes were the color of the waters of Marloon, and her hair the color of the sand of Abydos. For almost a century, Jolinar (and for at least some of that time, Rosha) was the mate of Lantash (and for at least some of that time, Martouf). Rosha and Jolinar were prisoners of Sokar for a significant amount of time. She was badly tortured and imprisoned on Netu, a planet made to resemble Hell. Jolinar seduced Sokar's 'prison guard', Bynarr, and escaped by stealing a key to the transportation rings while he slept. Jolinar later did something that made the System Lord Cronos send an ashrak (a Goa'uld assassin) after her.

Jolinar seduced Sokar's 'prison guard', Bynarr, and escaped by stealing a key to the transportation rings while he slept. Jolinar later did something that made the System Lord Cronos send an ashrak (a Goa'uld assassin) after her, and after several changes of hosts (which were presumably killed), she ended up in a situation were she had to take Samantha Carter as host. She tried to convince Sam and the rest of SGC that she was a Tok'ra - a good Goa'uld, but did not manage to do so in time. The ashrak found her and used the hara'kesh (a weapon/torturing device) on her. She died to save the life of Sam, who regained her memories, feelings, and many of her abilities. Sam's personality may have been permanently and completely altered by being host to Jolinar, and now carrying her memories and emotions. Also, her body chemistry remains altered, and she does, among other things, have a hightened immunity to various drugs. The Naquadah left in Sam's body enables her to use Goa'uld technology. The memories from Jolinar gave Sam and the rest of SG-1 the opportunity to meet and become friends and allies with the Tok'ra. Sam has forgiven Jolinar for taking her as host without asking, and even stated that it might have been enlightening,had she known who Jolinar was. The left-over feelings for Martouf/Lantash has meant some confusion for Sam, as it feels as if she has had a relationship with them. It also means she has difficulty determining which emotions are Jolinar's and which are her own.

Kanan
|
Jack O'Neill
|
Not much is known about Kanan. He was a good frend of the Tok'ra Thoran. He infiltrated Ba'al's secret base, and while doing so, he fell in love with Ba'al's lo'tar (Shayla). When he later were blended with Jack O'Neill (to cure him of an Ancient disease), he was affected by O'Neill's wish to never leave anyone behind. O'Neill was very much against the Tok'ra as a whole and in particular the idea of being a host, and Kanan decided to lock him out totally until he could get another host. It was probably also distressful to have a host that hated him and considered him little better than a Goa'uld. He used O'Neill's body to go to rescue his beloved, but they were discovered and pursued. He left O'Neill's body before they were captured, presumably to avoid secret Tok'ra information getting in the hands of Ba'al. O'Neill apparently does not remember anything from his period as host, and sadly now hates all the Tok'ra even more intensely than he did before.

Kelmaa
|
Unknown
|
Very little is known about Kelmaa and her host. She appears to have been a scientist, working with Malek. She sacrificed herself so that Egeria could use her host.

'Lord Khonsu of Amon Shek'/unknown
|
Unknown
|
Lord Khonsu of Amon Shek is the name this Tok'ra uses while undercover as a Goa'uld. It is probably not his real name. He pretended to be a minor Goa'uld loyal to Anubis. He had information that needed to be communicated, and therefore sought to make contact with SG-1. His real loyalties were discovered, unfortunately, by his own First Prime, Herak. The Jaffa killed him and later became First Prime of Anubis instead.
|
|
Korra/Kel'tar
|
Unknown
|
Korra posed as a minor Goa'uld loyal to Sokar using the alias Keltar. Sokar discovered he was not loyal to him, and sent a bounty hunter (Aris Boch) after him. Fortunately for Korra, SG-1 had been captured by Aris Boch, who wanted them to help him capture the presumed Goa'uld. SG-1 had already met and become friends with the Tok'ra, and Sam recognized Korra from Jolinar's memories. They managed to convince Aris Boch to let them all - including Korra - go, when he realized that Korra would rather sacrifice himself than risk his fellow Tok'ra. This was something a Goa'uld would never do.

Lantash
|
Martouf
|
Lantash have been shown to have many different duties, from a diplomat, to being sent on rescue missions. Despite this, he is believed to be a relatively influential Tok'ra. Lantash was the mate of Jolinar and Rosha for almost one hundred years. He is very passionate in his ideas. Lantash loves Samantha Carter as deeply as he once loved Jolinar. Since Tok'ra love as one, Martouf shares these feelings. Martouf is wise and kind, as well as usually much more controlled and calm than Lantash. Sam has problems determining if the feelings she has for them are her own or Jolinar's, somplicating their relationship. Martouf and Lantash have a truly symbiotic relationship. Despite their differences, they compliment each other in many ways. They have been on missions with SG-1 several times, and has come to the aid of SGC on many occasions. They are sympathetic to the Tau'ri, perhaps because of Samantha Carter, and are well liked.

Malek
|
Unknown
|
Malek is a base commander of the Tok'ra outpost in the Risa system, and an influential member of the Tok'ra resistance movement. He has had several dealings with the SGC. He is very strong-willed and determined, and the Tok'ra cause is extremely important for him. He cooperates well enough with the Tau'ri, but has little patience with the free Jaffa, as is the case for many of the Tok'ra. This is due to the fact that the Tok'ra hosts are from planets that have been subjugated by the Jaffa, and also that most Tok'ra that has been killed over the time, has been so by the Jaffa. When his life was saved by Bra'tac, he was able to see further than his own misconceptions, and admit to his errors. He is a competent biochemistrist, and was later able to help develop the tretonin which freed the Jaffa from their dependence on Goa'uld larvae.
|
|
Ocker
|
Unknown
|
Ocker was a Tok'ra Security Chief for Malek, who fled to the Alpha Site after their base was attacked. He was very suspicious and defiant towards the Tau'ri and especially the Jaffa. Ocker was killed by an Ashrak in an attempt to create mistrust between the Tok'ra and the Jaffa Rebellion.
|
|
Per'sus
|
Unknown
|
Per'sus is the Supreme High Councilor of the Tok'ra. He was interested in solidifying the alliance with the Tau'ri. Per'sus was almost killed by a Zatarc. He has only been seen once, and presumably is somewhere safe.

'Dr. Raully'/unknown
|
Unknown
|
Dr. Raully is her undercover name, her real name is unknown. She is a Tok'ra operative who infiltrated Hathor's ranks, pretending to be a Goa'uld. Hathor attempted to get much needed information from SG-1 when she captured them, and Dr. Raully posed as a doctor from the future, to get SG-1 to talk. However, she was a Tok'ra, and managed to smuggle information out, which the Tok'ra delivered to the SGC. This information was used to mount a rescue operation. When the SGC started their attack, she revealed herself to be a Tok'ra, and made sure the Goa'uld Hathor had made Jack O'Neill host to, were killed. Hathor discovered Dr. Raully's true loyalty, and injured her with a hand device. It is unknown if she managed to heal herself and get away before SGC blew up the place. Her name is sometimes spelled Dr. Raleigh.

Ren'al
|
Unknown
|
Ren'al was a Tok'ra operative and member of the Tok'ra High Council. She is the ambassador to Earth when Jacob/Selmak is not available. She has had several dealings with the SGC. She is a biochemistrist who were in large part responsible for developing the Tok'ra symbiote poison. She also came up with the plan of using this bioweapon to kill all the Goa'uld System Lords which met in the Hassara system for a summit.

|
Selmak
|
Jacob Carter
|
Selmak is a member of the Tok'ra High Council, and known as one of their oldest and wisest leaders. She is also a Tok'ra operative, and often goes on undercover mission, posing as a Goa'uld. Saroosh was Selmak's host before Jacob. She had been her host for a long time, and had enjoyed her sense of humor, as well as her good company, greatly. When Saroosh died, Jacob Carter, Samantha Carter's father, became host to Selmak. She cured him, thus saving his life, and he saved her life as well, as she were in deperate need of a host. Jacob/Selmak became a liason between the Tau'ri and the Tok'ra. General Jacob Carter (Ret.) was a veteran USAF Major General before becoming host to Selmak. He is also a good friend of General Hammond. Jacob's blending with Selmak created an alliance between the Tau'ri and the Tok'ra. Selmak were again able to take on covert operations, and from time to time to help SGC. Because of their closeness to the Tau'ri, and because her host is Tau'ri some Tok'ra complain about their divided loyalties. They do, however, also often support the Tok'ra cause, to the expense of the Tau'ri, as seen when they let the Tok'ra mission take presedence despite this meaning they risk the life of members of SGC. Jacob has also been known to refer to humanity's level of development as "infantile", and to warn against human attempts to reverse-engineer Goa'uld technology.

Thoran was a loyal member of the Tok'ra resistance movement, who has had a few tense dealings with Earth. During these meetings with SGC, he was frequently involved in heated discussions with SGC members. He is intensely loyal and protective of the Tok'ra. Tok'ra interests and secrets are extremely important to him, more so than the Tok'ra-Tau'ri alliance. He was a close friend of the Tok'ra Kanan, and supervised his blending with Jack O'Neill.
|
|
Zarin
|
Unknown
|
Zarin often worked undercover. This Tok'ra operative once posed as a minor Goa'uld serving Ba'al on P3S-114. She controlled several garrisons and had been able to mask her true identity perfectly for some time. The alliance between the Tok'ra and the Tau'ri, and between the Tok'ra and the Jaffa seems to be important to her, as she risked everything to avoid the torture of Teal'c nd M'Zel when they came to her palace. Zarin were killed by symbiote poison launched by the Trust.
