Human overseer of P3R-636, father to Shyla. Pyrus once killed the Goa'uld who ruled the planet, and continued to mine naquadah and send it through the Stargate to the ruling Goa'uld in his place (making that Goa'uld believe he was still in control). He had been using the sarcophagus technology for many countless years, which had begun to corrupt him.
Pyrus was eager to gain slaves to work in the naquadah mines, and when SG-1 arrived he immediately put them, minus Dr. Jackson, to work. Daniel pleaded with the overseer to let his friends go, but everything he said drove the wedge between them even more. Eventually Pyrus reached a point where the sarcophagus would no longer rejuvenate him and he died. Shyla ascended to his throne, freeing SG-1.
