Ethan Hernandez

Ethan Hernandez is Doctor / Captain in the United States Air Force. He was personally trained by Doctor Daniel Jackson at his Langford Institute of Archaeology and became involved in the Stargate Program from the beginning.

Background information
Born on May 16, 1976 in Denver, Colorado, he developed a keen interest for anything "old". He frequently helped his grandfather in his antique store where he would tell Ethan many stories.

History as Doctor
At the age of 24, Ethan attended the Illinois State University where he studied historical archaeology. He graduated at the head of his class and started working for various institutions around the States. In 2009, he was approached by Doctor Daniel Jackson and started working for his newly formed Langford Institute of Archaeology in Denver.

History as Captain
After his grandfather died, Ethan didn't want anything to do with history again and decided to join the United States Air Force to have a little more action in his life. He graduated successfully. However, he couldn't get over his interest for history so, in 2008, he attended the Langford Institute of Archaeology in Denver where he met Dr. Jackson. Jackson was impressed with Ethan's skills and—considering his military career—he found him suitable for his old position.

He was informed of the existence of the Stargate and was personally trained by Dr. Jackson to receive Jackson's position as Head of Archaeology at Stargate Command.

2012
Ethan joined SG-1 as Cultural Adviser.
