Galaran scientist assigned to the Galaran memory project alongside ex-wife Dr. Reya Varrick and Dr. Amuro. Like his colleagues, Marell was not keen on the Galaran military stepping in and controlling his work on the memory project. Though separated from his wife for two years, Marell -- who had hoped to some day get back together with Reya -- could not stand himself when he saw her depart a party with Colonel Cameron Mitchell. He followed the two back to her home where he rendered Mitchell unconscious with an electrical discharge. He grabbed a small statue and struck his wife, killing her. He then took Mitchell to the memory facility, transplanted the memory of Varrick's death into Mitchell's mind and replaced it in his own with a grafted memory from a few nights before. Because he had forgotten he committed the crime (to dispel the guilt), Marell was extremely anxious to clear Colonel Mitchell's name of any wrongdoing. However, having two identical memories in his mind was what eventually did him in. Such obvious alterations could not be concealed by Dr. Amuro. When the evidence came forward the Galaran Emissary, instead of sentencing him to a punishment, wiped the last few days from his mind completely. Marell now believed Varrick had died in an accident. To SG-1's dismay, the killer was immediately put back to work. PLAYED BY - Warren Kimmel FIRST APPEARED - Collateral Damage
