A member of John Sheppard's team based in the city of Atlantis, and once the proud leader of the Athosians, from the planet Athos. Teyla is cautious, and must get to know someone before trusting them. She found a special connection with John Sheppard upon meeting the humans of Earth for the very first time.
Teyla and her people use the Stargate to visit many worlds in the Pegasus Galaxy, and she had never before encountered a culture that had not heard of the Wraith -- a terrifying enemy that has oppressed her people for generations, harvesting them to feed upon their life-force. Teyla is a strong and capable warrior, and a confident leader -- though she was reluctant to say goodbye to her people to remain in Atlantis with Sheppard's reconnaissance team.
While returning with Sheppard from a hidden sanctuary where her ancestors once hid from the Wraith, Teyla herself was kidnapped in a culling beam and taken to the Wraith hive ship on the Wraith homeworld. She was later rescued by Sheppard and Lieutenant Aiden Ford.
Teyla returned to Atlantis and met even more humans from the Tau'ri, eventually establishing a colony there for her people. She dedicated her services to helping seek out new allies for the humans now based in the Pegasus Galaxy, and her experience with other cultures makes her an ideal guide for the humans from Earth. Teyla also possesses an extra-sensory awareness of the Wraith when they are near. She has struggled with her decision to leave her people, but believes that her work with the humans on Atlantis in the fight against the Wraith is the best thing she can do for the Athosians now.
Teyla's father was named Tagan. Due to experimentation by a rogue Wraith scientist she possesses a small amount of Wraith DNA, which gives her the ability both to sense the presence of the Wraith and, with a great deal of concentration, to telepathically link with the Wraith hive mind and even individual Wraith -- though the experience usually overpowers her, leaving her vulnerable to Wraith control.
