Dr. Robert Rothman is a fictional character in the science fiction television series Stargate SG-1. Prior to joining the SGC, he had been the research assistant to Dr. Daniel Jackson.
His original appearance was in a Hand device-induced delusion of Daniel Jackson, who experienced several illusionary days of life while under the influence of Sha're/Amonet. Within the fantasy, Dr. Robert Rothman was placed on SG-1 after Daniel Jackson resigned from the SGC following Sha're's death. O'Neill did not like him, confiding to Daniel that he was slowing down the unit (though Rothman had been a two-time decathlon champion in college) ("Forever in a Day").
His first appearance in reality was when Daniel had been absorbed by the energy field from a crystal skull on P7X-377. Rothman was tasked with researching the skull in order to discover where Daniel had gone. He was skeptical of the skull's ability as a teleportation device, and was not able to offer much help ("Crystal Skull").
Daniel and Rothman were with SG-11 during an archaeological dig on P3X-888. An Unas had raided the camp, killing one soldier and capturing Daniel. While SG-11 went to search for Daniel, Rothman went back to the SGC to tell them what had happened. A search party consisting of SG-1, SG-2, and Rothman went back to the camp and found a very dazed and confused Maj. Hawkins, who joined the team in the search.
Following a rest break, Teal'c discovered Goa'uld symbiotes in the nearby waters. Because the symbiotes of P3X-888 had no naqahdah in their blood, neither Teal'c nor Carter could sense their presence; thus Teal'c, being the only person that could not be a host, bound the others and left, knowing that if anyone had been taken as a host, they would be able to free themselves. Hawkins quickly broke his restraints and attempted to kill O'Neill, but Teal'c, hiding in nearby brush, killed him first.
Thinking that the rest of the team was symbiote-free, Teal'c released his companions. However, when he got to Rothman, there was blood on Rothman's wrists; Rothman, also a host, then broke his restraints, took Teal'c's staff, and shot Capt. Griff in the shoulder. O'Neill returned fire, killing him ("The First Ones").
