The golden symbol is created by cutting the skin and pouring molten gold into the wound. (Affinity), Funeral pyre rather than burial. (Serpent's Venom), Jaffa don't celebrate birthdays, although they keep track of them. Rya'c was very angry at Teal'c after Drey'auc died, and beat the crap out of him with a staff weapon.

(Family), One of the Jaffa masters who were training the camp full of human boys meant to infiltrate the SGC one day. The practice is forbidden.

(Endgame), The base and every Jaffa there was killed when the Tok'ra symbiote poison was released into the atmosphere. Teal'c said this to Jack, but it's never been supported anywhere else, and plenty of Jaffa have hair (although usually closely cropped).

They stayed there while the SGC looked for a new world for them.

Daniel figured out that he was looking for the harsesis, hidden on Kheb.
(Avalon part 2), He was the First Prime to Montu, a minor Goa'uld in Ra's service who fell in with Baal when Ra was killed. (Homecoming), When Yu mistakenly ruined the plans to ambush Anubis by becoming convinced Anubis was somewhere else, Oshu went to the confined Teal'c and explained the situation, then agreed to work with Teal'c to bring another System Lord into the deal, knowing that what mattered most to Yu was the destruction of Anubis. As a result of this close call, the council agreed that the weapon was too dangerous and should be destroyed. Instead, they decided to throw all the Jaffa energies into finding and killing Anubis.

He led a troop of warriors in a battle against Ra, but on seeing that they were hopelessly outnumbered, decided to retreat to get reinforcements. He greeted Hammond as 'Hammond of Texas', accompanied by brushing his hand just above his scalp this was his standard identifier for Hammond. Bra'tac convinced them that working together with the other races was the only way to beat the Goa'uld, and survive as a free people. Delnor had believed in Teal'c enough to burn off Rak'nor's serpent tattoo on the assumption that soon all Jaffa would be free of their masters. (Sacrifices). Bra'tac distracted the guard whipping Rya'c, and took Rya'c's punishment in his stead.
(Sacrifices), When Ishta was contacted by rebel Jaffa in Moloc's armies and asked to a meeting, Teal'c asked to come along, in case there was counsel he could offer.

From this day forward, you shall both be known as blood-kin to all Jaffa.' @JaredTritsch: I assume that everything between pure black ink and gold represents an increasingly higher rank or specialisation. (Crossroads), Young Jaffa girl living in the renegade female camp led by Ishta.
(Death Knell), Still in contact with the SGC, however tenuously, even after official ties were broken. He and Drey'auc moved to the Land of Light to live, where they lived for some time, with occasional visits from Teal'c.
Teal'c gained control, though, and managed to shove Trelak's double-pointed knife -- in Trelak's fist at the time -- into Trelak's symbiote pouch. Possible that Jaffa pass along a slightly weakened immune system, which in turn helps weed out weaker Jaffa before the Rite of Prim'ta.
(Birthright), As priestesses, they had access to the stargates on Moloc's worlds to attend to missionary matters, so had no real difficulty carrying out the smuggling of newborn girls who had been brought to the temple for the Ceremony of Fire, bringing them to a world called Hak'tyl ('Liberation') to create a society also called (the) Hak'tyl. naquadria is an unstable element) is free to be used anywhere.

Both bride and groom are dressed in silvery clothes -- she in a dress, he in slightly formal tunic and breeches. When Sokar was attacking the Earth using the beam, why didn't they obstruct the gate?

His house on Chulak was big, airy, and pretty well-appointed, made of stone.

The Horus guard's beak glistens. Teal'c believed that destroying Moloc alone was effectively a waste of time, because another Goa'uld would simply take over his territories. But not all of them agreed -- some remained loyal to Apophis or even other Goa'uld. (It's Good to Be King), He led the troop that went to the planet where Maybourne had been left, to take it back in Ares's name.

(Lost City, parts 1 and 2), He was starting to feel his age again after the Jaffa won their freedom, and he'd fulfilled his life's dream -- he told Teal'c that he thought the great preemptive battle against Anubis and his kull warriors would be his last. They also passed along a device that allowed SG-1 access to the hidden base on the planet. He sent a group of Jaffa to do the job instead, less than 24 hours before the alpha site was attacked. According to Teal'c, Ishta believed in preserving tradition at all costs, especially in the face of oppression. M'zel wasn't especially interested. After Teal'c's very public break with Apophis, Bra'tac began working more or less behind the scenes, continuing to foment rebellion among Jaffa warriors, and also helping to train Rya'c.

(The Warrior), Training staffs (wooden versions of staff weapons) are bashaak (The Warrior), Jaffa don't take vengeance from behind -- they kill face to face. Your basic Jaffa soldier will have the symbol of his System Lord tattooed to his forehead in black ink. In support of the 'traditional' idea, when Moac died, Bra'tac wanted his body to be burned. Do not republish or redistribute my work, in whole or This got him ribboned in retribution -- he would have died if Jack, Sam, and Teal'c hadn't come in to help.
(The Serpent's Lair). The remains of Apophis's personal guard beat Bra'tac and left him for dead. Before they could destroy the Prometheus, the Ancient weapon made up of small gold energy squids swept past it and began destroying Anubis's fleet.

(Reckoning part 1). (Death Knell), At a final meeting at the SGC between representatives of all three races (Hammond and Daniel, Delek and Jacob, and M'zel), after the Tok'ra announced that they were leaving the beta site and dissolving their alliance with the SGC, M'zel announced that the Jaffa were doing the same, for different reasons. (Family), Grew into his teens under Bra'tac's tutelage, and had the makings of a fine warrior. In a state of waking sleep, the subconscious mind of a Jaffa becomes one with the symbiote, which allows it to repair an illness. (Orpheus). (The Changeling).
(Thor's Chariot), Jokes are standard human, if in different cultural terms ('A Serpent guard, a Horus guard, and a Setesh guard meet on a neutral planet. A Jaffa will probably carry 15-16 larvae during his life. Rak'nor voted as Teal'c's proxy, but Gerak's resolution passed by a slim margin: the Jaffa would be ruled by a High Council, with votes attributed to the various coalition representatives based on their military assets. Teal'c wouldn't hear of it. 'I am one hundred and thirty-three years old' as of Bloodlines [1997].
Teal'c kept his eye on the bigger picture, and when Aron continued to insist, he zatted Aron. (Avalon part 2), While Teal'c was on Earth helping out with the situation with Vala, the council held its final vote on governance. He swore he'd kill her if he ever saw her again.

Do weekend days count as part of a vacation? ), Betrayed Teal'c to Heru'ur as a result. (Sacrifices), Despite Teal'c's clear lack of trust, Aron went to help him after he recovered, arriving just in time to keep Teal'c from being captured by Moloc's forces.
When Teal'c returned to Chulak to try to raise an army in hopes of rescuing the rest of SG-1, Bra'tac vouched for him and tried to help.
(Death Knell), He was convinced that the Tok'ra had a spy high up in Olokun's ranks, close enough to the System Lord to be able to assassinate him, and was furious that the Tok'ra wouldn't order it.
The Temple of Dakara was sacred to all Jaffa, regardless of which Goa'uld they served. Teal'c was not happy. (Affinity), If the request isn't granted, 'a weapon is required', according to Teal'c.
