Chloe Armstrong

Political science graduate from Harvard University and attaché to her father, Senator Alan Armstrong of California.

Intelligent and beautiful, Chloe is the apple of her father's eye. She is articulate, ambitious, and not afraid to state her opinion. While on Earth she was responsible for editing her father's numerous speeches, as well as other secretarial tasks.

It was Chloe's idea to imbed an Ancient mathematical proof into the Prometheus online game. This ultimately resulted in Eli Wallace unlocking the puzzle that allowed the ninth chevron's power issues to be solved.

When the Icarus Base personnel were forced to evacuate through the Stargate to an Ancient ship that a failing life support, it was Chloe's father who suffered the most. His blood thinner medication immediately worked against him. With the ship's dwindling life support venting out into space, Senator Armstrong sacrificed himself to seal the hatch.

Chloe places the blame for her father's death squarely on Dr. Nicholas Rush, who chose to force the team to the Destiny rather than back to Earth.

But she is also building positive relationships. She has developed a friendship with Eli Wallace and has discovered a new realm of intimacy with Matthew Scott. Stranded in the far reaches of the universe, she is eager to find a place for herself among the crew.

Several months into her life on Destiny Chloe was abducted and briefly held by aliens. Though she was quickly rescued, it eventually became evident that the aliens had done something to her -- some sort of genetic manipulation that is transforming her, enabling her to rapidly heal from injury and infection, and causing her to black-out and do various tasks on the ship. The purpose of this, and how far her transformation will go, remain unclear.
