A child born from two Goa'uld hosts. This is considered forbidden by the Goa'uld System Lords because the Goa'uld genetic memory is passed down to the offspring, making the child a threat. (Goa'uld reproduce their own kind asexually.) The Harcesis possesses all the knowledge of the Goa'uld who fathered it. SG-1 once sought the child of Apophis and Sha're, but the infant, Shifu, was found to be under the protection of the powerful being Oma Desala. KEY EPISODE(S) - Secrets - Daniel Jackson delivers the child of Apophis and Sha're, and hides the infant from Apophis on Abydos. Forever In a Day - Amonet returns to Abydos for the Harcesis child, sending him into hiding with one of her handmaidens on the planet Kheb. Maternal Instinct - Daniel Jackson allows the ascended Oma Desala to take the Harcesis where he can be safe. Absolute Power - Artificially aged several years, the Harcesis, Shifu, emerges from the winds of Abydos to teach Daniel that the Goa'uld genetic memory is not something that can be taken advantage of.  |
