Amonet is a fictional character, played by actress Vaitiare Bandera, in the television series Stargate SG-1, based on the ancient Egyptian Goddess Amonet.
[edit] History
Amonet was Apophis's beloved Goa'uld queen. During his search for a proper human host, Apophis travelled to several worlds where he kidnapped women. Eventually, Apophis kidnapped Sha're, an Abydonian woman and wife of Daniel Jackson.
During Apophis' search for a new host, Amonet was forced to reside inside a female Jaffa. When she was eventually presented with Sha're, Amonet took her as her new host, after which she was introduced to Apophis' followers. Daniel Jackson however refused to accept the loss of his wife, and became a member of SG-1 to search for his beloved. [1]
Jackson was again confronted with his wife when he, together with Teal'c, visited Abydos to tell Sha're's father Kasuf what had happened to his children. However, a highly pregnant Sha're was hiding on Abydos at the time, to hide her child from Heru-ur. According to Sha're, Amonet allowed the host to surface, because if the Goa'uld were to awake the child would be born dead. Also, she informed Jackson that her child, fathered by Apophis, would be a Harcesis, an unpossessed human who contained all the genetic memory of the Goa'uld.
When Sha're, assisted by Daniel Jackson, gave birth to a boy, Shifu, Amonet again took control of Sha're and ordered Jackson to hand over the child. However, he refused, and hid the boy on Abydos instead. When Amonet returned to Apophis, she did not inform him about the presence of SG-1 on the planet, and even convinced him that his enemy Heru-ur had kidnapped the child. [2]
When Apophis fell from power, Amonet entered the service of Heru-ur. She lead a raid on Abydos to acquire slaves, but Amonet really returned for the boy, sending him to the planet Kheb with one of her handmaidens. She also kidnapped several Abydonians, who were shortly thereafter rescued by SG-1. During these events, Daniel Jackson followed Amonet into her tent, where she attacked him with her hand device. To prevent Daniel from being killed, Teal'c was forced to fire his staff weapon at her, killing not only Amonet but also Sha're. Daniel mourned over the death of Sha're, but decided to find the Harcesis, the last legacy of his wife. [3]
