Siler

From The Stargate Omnipedia

Siler.jpg

The S.G.C.'s leading technician and engineer, Master Sergeant "Sly" Siler keeps the Stargate and the base facilities up and running. Frequently encountering mischief, he has been known to be subject to more than a handful of scraps, resulting in his share of scrapes and bruises. He has been electrocuted at least once and knocked out of the way or slammed into the base concrete on several occasions. He's frequently found in the base infirmary, with a bloody nose or broken bone.

Despite his accident-prone nature, Siler has remained a vital aspect of base operations from the very beginning. Always busy, he is often seen clutching a wrench.
