Stargate: Every System Lord Ranked Worst To Best

14. Moloc

Moloc was a Goa'uld who was widely known for his cruelty and sadism. In fact, in Earth literature, he is depicted in John Milton's Paradise Lost a fallen angel, one of Satan's general. He, unlike many other Goa'uld, is certain of his divinity - there is no pretending or posturing with him. He believed that only male Jaffa were of any use and, in his madness, he ordered the deaths of all female Jaffa in a Ceremony of Fire.

The High Priestess Ishta organised the Hak'tyl resistance, saving many newborn girls from his grasp. She took them away and trained them to be formidable warriors, though Moloc eventually discovered this. His forces destroyed a meeting of rebel Jaffa, leaving only Ishta, Teal'c and Aron alive. He captured and tortured Ishta.

He was killed when the SGC launched missiles through the gate. These missiles were guided directly to him by Aron, who directed a laser point directly at him. Like many other fallen Goa'uld, his forces were absorbed by Ba'al.
