Main Allies
Bra'tac often works alone or with a single trusted Jaffa when infiltrating a Goa'uld's personal guard. His Jaffa allies include Teal'c, Shaq'rel and Moac. He has also allied himself with the Jaffa warrior Rak'nor. Bra'tac also took charge of Rya'c's training, passing on his skills and techniques.
Main Enemies
All the Goa'uld System Lords. He has sworn to rid the universe of the Goa'uld and free the Jaffa. He holds a special hatred for Apophis and his son Klorel. He was imprisoned in a death camp by Anubis, the most powerful of all the System Lords. Like all Jaffa, Bra'tac distrusts the Tok'ra, but he learns to trust some of its members.
Strengths
A gifted fighter pilot, warrior and tracker. He can work out past events by studying his surroundings. In M06.09, as hostile Jaffa and Tok'ra members were being killed, he found the culprit, an invisible Ashrak. He knows the Goa'uld well and can infiltrate their ranks undetected. His mere presence is enough to sway other Jaffa.
Weaknesses
Reckless to a fault at times. In M02.01, he confronted Klorel and revealed that he was a rebel. SG-1 arrived just in time to save his life. Later, he stood before Apophis and renounced his former master. Lately he has struggled to reach kel'no'reem. Since his symbiote was removed, he survives on regular doses of tretonin.
Vital Help
**M01.11** Teal'c returned to Chulak to stop his son undergoing the Prim'ta ceremony, and renewed contact with his old mentor. Bra'tac helped him find his family, now outcasts in their society, and stop Rya'c becoming a Goa'uld host. Bra'tac single-handedly beat three Jaffa priests guarding the Stargate, and made sure the members of SG-1 got home safe and sound.
**M02.01** Bra'tac won Apophis's trust and infiltrated a System Lord operation to wipe out Earth. But the Jaffa master was annoyed by the presence of SG-1, who he believed would sabotage his plan to destroy the Goa'uld. Despite Apophis's orders to kill the members of SG-1, Bra'tac helped them escape. Together they boarded Klorel's ship. Bra'tac was ready to die destroying it to eliminate the System Lords.
**M05.02** Brainwashed by Apophis, Teal'c became convinced the Goa'uld was a true god – and his master. Answering the SGC's call for help, Bra'tac decided the only way to save Teal'c was to put him through the Rite of M'al Sharran: removing his symbiote and letting him come close to death. At that point, he would relive his past and remember the truth. Teal'c survived the ritual and renounced the Goa'uld.
**M06.02** The SGC was under attack from Anubis, who was sending waves of radiation through the Stargate. Teal'c joined Bra'tac, Shaq'rel and Rya'c, now a seasoned fighter, to find Anubis and repel his assault. On arriving at Anubis's heavily guarded planet, Bra'tac and Teal'c were taken prisoner. Rya'c, at the controls of a death glider, destroyed Anubis's device, saving Earth.
