Wraith commander held in captivity by Acastus Kolya for many years, later nicknamed "Todd" by Colonel John Sheppard to distinguish him from other nameless Wraith. During his years in captivity the Genii commander used him for his own purposes, allowing him to feed on other prisoners and gaining leverage at the bargaining table. Todd was left in a chamber adjacent to another prison cell eventually occupied by Sheppard. In the hopes of capturing Ladon Radim, Kolya took Sheppard and allowed Todd to gradually feed on the Colonel, hoping to force a trade with Atlantis. But Dr. Weir refused, and Sheppard and the Wraith were able to escape -- working together for the time being, but agreeing that if they ever met again, they would be enemies. One year later the Wraith made contact with Sheppard, and was taken prisoner and held in Atlantis for several weeks. Todd revealed himself to be a brilliant scientist, and worked with Rodney McKay in an attempt to rewrite the Replicators' base code and deactivate the command that was prompting them to attack the Wraith across the galaxy. At this task they ultimately failed, but when McKay came up with another plan to stop the Replicators, Todd did manage to negotiate a temporary alliance and bring several hive ships into the fight. Endlessly cunning, Todd stole an undetermined amount of intelligence data during his time in Atlantis. Soon after he left, the team learned that he had stolen a Z.P.M. from the Replicators in order to power his secret cloning operation. Todd had planned to create an army of Wraith soldiers to conquer the other factions, but he was betrayed and his facility taken by a rival queen. Later, he again sought help from the team to try and find a cure to the Hoffan drug -- which the Wraith Michael was using to randomly taint the Wraith's food supply and sow the seeds of a civil war. The team provided him with a limited amount of research on the drug in exchange for his help. Todd continues to be a tentative ally of Atlantis, capable of helping them when they are most in need -- but always out for his own interests.
