Klorel was a young Goa'uld, and the son of Apophis and his queen. Apophis also chose the host in which his son was to live out eternity, the Abydonian Skaara.
Apophis was quite unique in that he actually loved his queen Amaunet, and he was proud and cared for Klorel. As we saw later, most Goa'uld actually eat their own children and consider them tools.
Original system lords apparently did have somekind of code of conduct, the next generation not so much. RPG-guide for system lords actually says that founder of their civilization, Apep, made sure that they acted as brothers and sisters despite not being blood related. He was apparently respected and even liked among the Goa'uld as his murder in hands of Anubis earned him millenia old exile. The guide made point that revenge taken upon Anubis for murder of Apep might be the only time in their history that Goa'uld have acted nobly.
@SHANE DAVIDSON I wish Stargate Command had extracted the Apophis symbiote and sent it alone through the gate. Then again, it is likely that Sokar would simply implant the symbiote in *another* unwilling host in order to facilitate Apophis' torture...
Well they correspond to ancient Egyptian iconography right? They didn’t give up on anything; just that new system lords would have no corresponding animal from ancient times.
@@michaelserebreny454 Hathor would have hippo guards, right? Sobek would have crocodiles. There are more than three animal looking gods in the pantheon. Guess, it just would have looked silly.
@@michaeldiekmann6494 I remember it's more a family thing. System lords from the family of Ra have Horus Guards gor example. Seth had a different kind of guards.
I always found it so sad that both Sha're and Skaara were met with the same fate (they were siblings, weren't they?). Apophis could have chosen anybody as a host yet he chose these two. Can't imagine how Kasuf felt
1. Skaara dies waaaay later than Sha're 2. Sha're returns PRIOR to that time daniel told them runs out, this is the episode where Te'alc kills her to SAFE his friend 3. Having that behemoth of a queen inside you (we all saw the Tok'ra mother) and a mere child aint exactly the same XD
These early episodes were sooooo good. Everything about them the cast, storyline, music, the whole atmosphere was very mystique. They messed up losing too many characters watering down the show 😢
If anyone is still wondering how Skaara/Klorel could be the son of Apophis. Klorel is the name of the sybiote that inhabits Skaara's body. This symbiote is the son of symbiote Apophis.
and later on they establish that only Goa'uld queens can create more symbiote offspring which Apophis isn't so the whole father/son thing makes no real sense Unless Apophis simply considers and names those symbiotes he allows to take a host his children.
@@animemanXLK Except we know that Goa'uld symbiotes have the genetic memory of their parents, which was something Teal'c's one was able to give him flashbacks of Cronus because it was Cronus's child. I think Goa'uld queens can reproduce asexually but probably prefer not to if they could breed with another Goa'uld, you would to give the gene pool more variety.
@@animemanXLK The queens need the "code of life", they get the DNA to fertilize the child symbiotes via good old human sex. Presumably Apophis fertilized Amaunet and she spawned a special batch of one, just to make Klorel. The part that really doesn't track is that symbiotes take 7 years to mature. That doesn't even a little bit work here. So either another queen cooked up Klorel, or Klorel is a serious preemie.
Klorel probably has prominence as the firstborn symbiote of his particular brood (a Goa'uld queen can produce up to a thousand larvae at a time; the queen before Amunet most likely died or became unavailable ten years prior to the start of the televised series, requiring Apophis to acquire a new queen larvae from Cronus as part of a trade agreement and then wait for her to mature and take a host). Technically every single symbiote being carried by his loyal Jaffa are Apophis's "children" but Klorel had to have had a reason for rising to prominence.
@Mrskeineahnungecht The Rise of Klorel is Both the ending episode of Season one Serpents Lair and The first episode of Season II Serpnts Lair II.... I was hooked after that very moment this year and filled my Netflix basket up with all SG1 Seasons I completed them this week. Hulu also has the episodes as well...
As far as I know he has never returned; a fan-fic is not canonical, but I have seen him with a new host in a wikia based on Stargate that a contact of mine had created. Guido.
He is actually his nephew....maybe. RPG for Stargate states that Apep, founder of Goa'uld civilization, stated that his underlords are his brothers and sisters and should act as such. Ra and Apophis were supposedly brothers but it was unclear if they were blood related or was it because by Apep's decree.
Share's creature Amunet has a real Egyptian counterpart, but no Egyptian god carries the remotest resemblance to the name Klorel in Egyptian or Greek names. Our letter L doesn't even exist in Egyptian; the sign of a lion was used to represent it after Egypt was conquered by Greeks to render foreign names like Alexander. Klorel is a fictional name.
the first Hathor episode establishes that goa'uld queens can use genetic material from other people (males) to spawn new symbiotes. the implication is that they have sex the normal way, and then the queen uses that to breed a new batch of goa'uld.
@@jozefmasny8349 I'd guess a bit of both. DNA from the host, because that's what's needed to lower the chances of rejection on implantation. But also the genetic memories of Apophis and his upline.
I always wondered was Klorel Amaunet's son as well? It wasn't established if she was a breeding queen like Hathor so I suppose Apophis must have go busy with some Goa'uld chick to make Klorel.
As far as I know Amaunet was Apophis Queen however their is no mention of which Queen spawned Klorel, it may have been Amaunet or some other Queen. It might have been on the Goa'uld System Lord family tree which Jacob Carter showed to SG1 which was a part of their Goa'uld census!
well he didnt really die did he... he ascended. well klorel died. but skaara ascended. they could have brought him back in a few episodes, tht wud have been cool. but they couldnt fit him into a storyline really. :(
I always thought Apophis just told them that Klorel was his son to enhance the entire lie about them being gods, because in most religions with multiple gods they are related in some way.
My theory is that all Goa'uld start off with both male and female reproductive organs, but only a select few mature into queens and it's these Goa'ulds that can breed with their species or reproduce asexually to create more Goa'ulds.
