A member of Martin Lloyd's race, Peter Tanner was greatly responsible for maintaining Martin's altered state of mind -- that all of his past knowledge regarding his alien existence was but a figment of his imagination. Tanner is associated with a small group of men, with whom he and Martin use to serve as soldiers in their planet's military. When the Goa'uld invaded their world they were sent to seek allies. Finding Earth but realizing we weren't advanced enough to help them, they deserted and hid out here. Tanner and the others believed that they would surely die if they returned home, and drugged Martin to block his memories of his true identity so that he would not expose them. Tanner operated as a psychiatrist in Montana, covertly observing Martin under the guise of treating him, helping Martin to maintain his false memories. But after SG-1 exposed them, they went into hiding again and were staunchly pursued by the N.I.D. They decided to leave Earth when their ship returned on an automated timer. Martin was content to remain behind on Earth. PLAYED BY - Robert Lewis FIRST APPEARED - Point of No Return
