Michael Kenmore
[[File:Michael.jpg|thumb]]A young man who encountered [[SG-1]] during their travel back in time to 1969. Michael and his girlfriend [[Jenny]] were traveling across the country up into the North East for Woodstock, "one last blast" before his entrance into the Vietnam War. However, Michael and Jenny planned on dodging the draft and traveling up into Canada. It was his fear that he would have to kill someone.


[[File:Kenmoremichael.jpg|thumb]]Name given to a captured [[Wraith]] commander. The first name, "Mike," was suggested by [[Colonel John Sheppard]]. "Kenmore" was likely given by [[Dr. Carson Beckett]], after a town in the Highlands of Scotland (posted that month on his office calendar). Michael was captured for the specific intention of testing Dr. Beckett's prototype [[iratus bug retrovirus]].
Michael and Jenny believed SG-1 to be aliens (with the use of a [[zat'ni'katel]], and other methods of persuasion). In so doing, he agreed to take them to New York, where they would find the information they needed to return home.
Michael awoke in a private medical bay in [[Atlantis]] with no knowledge of who he was, but he was told he had recently arrived in [[Atlantis]] and had been captured by the Wraith. Until the expedition was confident that the Wraith had done nothing to alter his personality he would be monitored by guards and be forced to take his insulin injections for his type one diabetes in the infirmary.


Michael learned from [[Teyla Emmagan]] that the two had been friends. She showed him to his quarters where she explained he was from Texas, and eventually he grew comfortable enough with her to begin sparring together as part of his physical fitness. It became apparent very quickly that [[Ronon Dex]] had issues with him, and in his counseling sessions [[Dr. Heightmeyer]] convinced him he would come around in his own time.

[[File:Kenmoremichael01.jpg|thumb]] [[File:magnify-clip.png|thumb]]Michael confides in Teyla Emmagan. From "Michael."When Wraith nightmares would not leave him be he asked Dr. Beckett to prescribe sleeping pills. When those did not work he returned to the infirmary, where he discovered discs detailing his condition before his memory blackout. Playing the CDs in the computer in his quarters, he learned very quickly that he was originally a Wraith.

Infuriated, [[Dr. Elizabeth Weir]] explained that she authorized the tests for the retrovirus, but Michael only began to believe that humans were no better than his original race. He was moved to the [[Pegasus Alpha Site]] where Dr. Beckett hoped to enhance his retrovirus dosage to eliminate Wraith cravings, but Michael probed Teyla's mind and escaped the facility with her before further tests could be run.
 
 
[[File:Kenmoremichael02.jpg|thumb]] [[File:magnify-clip.png|thumb]]Michael, following his completed transformation. From "Allies."Michael took Teyla to another world, likely inside Wraith territory, where he began to revert to his Wraith self. Before he could feed on her he was shot in the back by Colonel Sheppard. Wraith from a landed [[cruiser]] soon arrived to collect him.
Weeks later Michael gained control of a [[Wraith hive ship]] and convinced the [[queen]] to travel to Atlantis and propose a deal to Weir: in exchange for Dr. Beckett's iratus retrovirus, Michael's hive would begin to use it on other Wraith -- and feed off of them instead of human settlements. Michael's reunion with Teyla and Ronon was not pleasant, but he made it clear to Teyla that he did not wish her dead.
 
When it became clear that the Queen and the other Wraith regarded Michael as an unclean outsider, he turned on them and helped Sheppard free his captured friends and stop the hive ship from reaching Earth. But Michael was given the retrovirus again, and lost his memories. It did not take him long to once again remember who and what he was -- but he was left marooned on a planet.
 
Another hive ship picked him up, but Michael was still an outcast among his kind. He struck out on his own, finding the new Taranian settlement -- among other planets -- and using the humans there as subjects in a series of experiments. Using the iratus bugs, Michael engineered his own army of giant, insect-like creatures to do his bidding. From this crude start he has developed an army of Wraith-human hybrids, who will do his bidding and, one day he hopes, replace the Wraith as a dominant species in the Pegasus Galaxy.
