Member of the council of Atlantis during the days of the first siege of Atlantis. Defeated, he and the council elected to sink the city-ship so the Wraith could never reach it, and travel back through the Stargate to Earth.

Moros opposed Janus's proposals to construct a time device, citing that tampering with the timeline was unethical. He was both shocked and angered when he found a woman from the future sitting opposite him in the council chambers. Still, he listened to the pleas of Elizabeth Weir, thrown back in time by Janus's Ancient time device, who hoped that the council would permit her to return to the future and save the expedition.

However, Moros ultimately chose to prevent her from using the time device to return to her time. He was afraid that her arrival in the past, and her subsequent return to her future, would further damage the continuum.

Moros departed Atlantis with the very last group, believing Janus when he said Dr. Weir had returned to Earth in an earlier group. He was undoubtedly angered -- again -- when arriving on the other side and discovering the time traveler to not be among their ranks.
