Is there a Goa'uld covert ops?

[Torley]

Okay, I know that topic title sounded kind of funny, but I'm trying to be serious here... really! I'm wondering about this based on an episode I just watched, "Double Jeopardy". There is a Goa'uld seen briefly who is credited as "Ja'din" or "Goa'uld Officer" depending where you look. Her attire is VERY unique and futuristic, all in black, and not like the other Goa'uld I have seen -- however, I have not seen all the episodes, so I may be possibly missing some others here! I ask this because her specialty seemed to be information acquisition and that type of stuff. Are there others like her?

Thus far I don't think we've seen another Goa'uld like that. Maybe a unique character? I thought she was just a scientist....

Thoth and the guy in home coming. Or were they the same person?

Wow, I completely forgot about those.....

I think it's quite possible for the Goa'uld to have trusted Underlings assigned to snoop and check out any threat to their Masters.

"In The Line Of Duty" featured the "Ashrak", who was sent on a Special Mission to hunt and destroy Jolinar. He was an Assassin,but chances are the Ashrak group could well be classed as Goa'uld "Special Ops" members.

I'd imagine so, seeing as how the Goolds aren't that trusting of each other.

An Ashrak is any group of people who carry out orders for a Goold, I think. So I guess that they could be a special ops.

When I saw the title of this thread the first thing I thought of was the Ashraks.

Trained killers that can also be used as spies.

I don't think that's exactly ture. Thoth and Ja'din were Goa'uld underlings that carried out orders but they were not Ashrak. Ashrak are specifically trained to kill and to spy. They are more like field operatives, where as Thoth and Ja'din were more like scientists and (semi-)trusted underlings.

To judge by Allegiance, Ashrak evoke the kind of awe associated with - as for example - the SAS. "There's an Ashrak on the base" is tantamount to the secondary terrorist telling his boss that one of the teenage hostages has a family photo in her bag showing her, a blandly smiling blonde mother and Jean Claude Van Damme.

[SGSlugger]

Hey, that was what I thought an Ashrak was.

[Livi2Jack]

You forget the goauld Baal sent to Jonas' world Kelowna to snoop out the situation after the Anubis attack this season. So yes, they have spies.

[Mr Prophet]

Not to mention the one that was in the Tok'ra host in the original Tok'ra episode. Or Tanith for that matter.

We've seen plenty of signs of Goa'uld espionage; I figure they're doing it all the time, given how little they trust one another. I'm not sure about coordinated covert ops though; all their guys seem to be James Bonding it around the place in a fairly freelance fashion. I'm not sure they'd really stretch to covert teams since each member of a cell would no doubt refuse to trust all of the others.

No, different. Remember the last scene each of them was in...

Remember a little thing called a sarc?
