10 Stargate Characters Who Vanished Without A Trace
5. Major Michael Griff
Michael Griff was one of the members of SG-2, though he commanded SG-1 on one occasion while still a Captain. In that case, he was assigned to help the unit recover Daniel Jackson, who had been taken captive by an Unas. This occurs on the planet P3X-888, which Jackson believes to be the original homeworld of the Goa'uld. His theory is given weight when the waters surrounding the teams turn out to be absolutely full of symbionts, some of whom attack the team, possessing two of them.
Captain Griff is shot in the chest with a staff weapon by Dr. Ronald Rothman, who had been taken by a symbiont. Thankfully, the captain survives and is brought back to the SGC. There, he is promoted to Major.
He has worked closely enough with Colonel O'Neill to discover that Administrator Calder of P3R-118 is attempting to trick the team into a wild goose chase, though SG-1 returns before any major incident can take place. He is then later assigned to protect a group of scientists on M4C-862, a task that frustrates the soldier immensely. When he and the rest of SG-2 are relieved by SG-1, he practically skips his way to the Stargate, only to apparently disappear into the event horizon, never to be mentioned again.
