Charles Kawalsky

Charles Kawalsky was a Major in the US Air Force. He was part of the First Abydos mission with Colonel Jack O'Neill in 1995. He was the SG-2 leader when SG teams were created. He died in 1997 soon after a Goa'uld symbiote took him as host.

Biography
In 1982, Kawalsky, who was Captain, was part of a squad (as well as Jack O'Neill) who went in East Germany to extract a Russian spy. This mission was a mess and Colonel John Michaels, the team leader, died in the process, killed by snipers (SG1: ).

(1995)
When Doctor Daniel Jackson has finished his symposium on Ancien Egypt, Kawalsky invites him to get inside a US Air Force sedan and meet Catherine Langford. Just after receiving travel tickets, Kawalsky opens the car's door.

In the US Air Force military installation located in Colorado Springs, Kawalsky welcomes Jackson and brings him to sub-level 28 where is located the Giza cartouche. He later receives orders from Colonel Jack O'Neill who's taking command of the Project Giza.

Two weeks later, Kawalsky guides Jackson to a briefing room where the latter reveals the seventh missing Stargate symbol. After receiving orders, Kawalsky turns a command to show the Stargate device to Jackson.

Once Jackson has found the way to get on the destination on the other side of the Stargate, Colonel O'Neill leads a recon team with Kawalsky as Second-in-command. When Jackson tells the team he needs to find a similar cartouche with the gate symbols in order to get back to Earth, Kawalsky gets angry against Jackson. O'Neill orders Kawalski to build a base camp.

When Jackson is dragged by an unknown domestic animal, O'Neill, Kawalsky and Brown pursue him. As they retrieve Jackson unconscious, they then discover an indigenous population working in an open mine. They meet the people and follow them to their big fortified city.

(1997)
Majors Kawalsky and Ferretti are interrogated by General Hammond's office members regarding the First Abydos mission after an alien who looks like Ra came through the Stargate, killed four airmen and kidnapped another one. Later, in the SGC holding room, Kawalsky meets Colonel Jack O'Neill and reveals that him and Ferretti didn't tell anything because of the "kids".

He is part of the team leaded once again by Colonel O'Neill and goes on Abydos. He gives a small packet of tissues to Doctor Daniel Jackson. Later, when the sand storm as passed, he, Colonel O'Neill, Captain Samantha Carter and Jackson, and some Abydonians go outside the pyramide and come into a huge chamber where they discover that the Abydos Stargate is not the only destination but there is a full Stargate network. When they come back to the pyramid, they find a mess as Apophis came here a few moments ago. He comes back on Earth with the rest of the team and Jackson.

Later, when General Hammond announces the creation of the SG teams, Kawalsky is surprised when he learns he will lead SG-2, on Colonel O'Neill' request. SG-2 will accompany SG-1 on Chulak (nicknamed "Planet Kawalsky" by himself), thanks to a wounded Ferretti who had enough strength to give all the gate symbols to get there. On Chulak, as SG-1 are ready to do recon, SG-2 build a base camp and a defense perimeter (with the help of Captain Carter), waiting for SG-1's return.

The next day, SG-1, along with Teal'c, Apophis' First Prime, and many prisoners, rush to the Stargate area, pursued by a Death glider and Jaffas. He and Warren are able to shoot down the craft with a portable missile launcher. SG-2 defends the area against Jaffas, allowing everybody to come back on Earth through the Stargate. When he's helping Casey, a SG-2 member who has been shot by a staff weapon blast, an infant Goa'uld gets out a dead Jaffa body and comes into Kawalsky by his neck, without his knowledge. After coming back on Earth, he's suffering on his neck, and soon after, his eyes glow.
