[edit] Biography
After Teal'c defected to Earth, Rya'c and his mother were forced to life as pariahs. At 12, Drey'auc begged the priests to give her son a symbiote, but Teal'c interrupted the ceremony since he didn't want his son to have a symbiote. But Rya'c was ill, and finally Teal'c gave him his own symbiote to save him [1].
Afterwards, Drey'auc married Fro'tak to give her son a better life. Apophis captured Rya'c and by the time Teal'c returned, Apophis had brainwashed him into publicly denouncing his father. For something he said, Teal'c thought his son was only playing along. The SG-1 rescued him and brought him and Drey'auc back to Earth (Fro'tak had been killed after betraying them). Once there, however, they discovered Rya'c really was brainwashed and conditioned to kill himself and everyone on Earth. Teal'c had to shoot him with the zat to break the conditioning. Rya'c went to live with his mother to the Land of Light after that [2].
Rya'c grew up under the tutelage of Bra'tac, who taught him the ways of the Jaffa. He was very angry at his father after Drey'auc died, and Teal'c allowed him to go on a mission to save Earth from Anubis. After Teal'c and Bra'tac were captured, he stole a glider and saved them [3] [4].
He was captured when he went with Bra'tac to Erebus, a Jaffa penal colony, to recruit more allies for the Jaffa rebellion. They were forced into hard labor. While ascended, Daniel Jackson saw them and the memory came back to him after he descended. SG-1 went to rescue them, but the rescue attempt was unsuccessful. Teal'c was captured and hurt, and Rya'c had to face the fact his father was vulnerable. Rya'c helped spread the word among the prisoners to revolt and the second rescuing attempt was successful [5].
On a trip to Hak'tyl with Teal'c and Bra'tac to try to convince the female Jaffa to join the Rebellion, he fell in love with Kar'yn. Even though Teal'c was against the union at first, thinking they were both too young, Rya'c went along with his plans and the wedding finally took place with Teal'c's blessing [6]. Rya'c has not appeared on SG-1 since his wedding in the show's eighth season.
