10 Best Minor Stargate SG-1 Characters
2. Ba'al (Cliff Simon)
Initially introduced as simply one of the System Lords, the intensely charismatic Ba'al would go on to recur again and again. While he remained one of the most treacherous of the System Lords, Ba'al could almost be counted as an ally to Earth on an occasion or two. He challenged the power of Anubis and helped to defeat him with the Dakara Superweapon. Then he started to utilise the other weapon in the arsenal of the Goa'uld. Infiltration.
Most of them seem to forget how useful just being a mind-controlling snake can actually be when they're busy pretending to be all-powerful Gods. While the Ori threatened the galaxy, Ba'al quietly took over The Trust, a group of alien-aware former special ops and private interests, establishing himself a powerbase on Earth itself.
Tragically, South African actor and athlete Cliff Simon passed away on March 9th 2021, while kiteboarding. If the Stargate franchise is to be revived at some point down the line, it will now have to do so without one of its most devilishly charming faces.
