Colorado Springs police detective. A regular patron in Sol's Diner, Detective Ryan was one of the first people Vala Mal Doran befriended after her blow with amnesia forced her under the wing of the diner's owner, Sal, for three weeks.
Vala was unable to conceal her troubled past, even from herself, when she discovered she was capable of halting a two-man robbery in the restaurant. Ryan took her down to his precinct for a statement and discovered she was unwilling to cooperate. Vala ultimately told him the truth, but after a string of lies (and a failed attempt to sneak out the back exit) he could not bring himself to believe a word she said.
Ryan posted a picture of "Val" for circulation. The Air Force responded with positive identification, requesting that they be allowed to pick Vala up from the precinct. Unbeknownst to Ryan, the Air Force was beaten to the location by agents from the Trust. They posed as Air Force officers and took Vala only minutes before the real Colonel Samantha Carter and her team arrived.
