Support the Channel Check out my store :) Before his capture, Todd was a Wraith of some political standing; after being freed he is in loose command of about a dozen Hive ships (out of at least sixty in the galaxy), and these had remained loyal to him during his imprisonment, implying that he used to command even more, most probably because he is at least 10,000 years old. He notes that his time spent in Commander Acastus Kolya's prison diminished his standing among the Wraith, further supporting the notion that he held a great deal of influence before. He is also an adept scientist, having a significant understanding of nanite coding as well as Wraith technology.

    Todd was the most intelligent wraith. Not just by knowledge, but with the most common sense. He understood humans weren’t animals to be fed on, but was a hunter who respected his prey.

      @@StargateOmega Yes. I suppose the Wraith weren't particularly known for their sense of humor. Although some of them seemed to enjoy practicing a little bit of sarcasm when dealing with humans (like the Wraith who visited the fat magistrate in the episode Condemned).

I would like to see more of Todd and the Atlantis team working together and helping each other with that touch of caution between them. I am very exited about the new filming of Atlantis, just hoping there are no changes in the original cast and the relationships. Additions and new worlds to explore are always welcome. Great entertainment and wonderful suspense. Thank you all for your hard work for us.

      What Cindy The best cat says. According to the Stargate Atlantis books, wraithnames are sort of a telepathic signature. As no normal signature is the same, neither is a telepathic signature. It is what the wraith feels like in the mind, so to speak. Kenny for instance is accociated with the white of dry bones, thus he is named Bonewhite. Lastlight (Michael) is accociated with the last light before nightfall, and so most names speak for themselves. Even Teyla, as wraithkin due to experimentation on her ancestors has a wraithname: Steelrose, according to the books. Guide and Sheppard are sort of the same. They are both leaders, shepherds of their own flock.
      It's a pity that this is not cannon, because it's a damn good premise and very believable.

    Todd was never given a proper series finale. Just a lot of "If" type endings for everyone to argue about or have civil discussions over.
    There is no doubt to me Sheppard murdered Todd at the end.
    A really great ending would have shown Sheppard coming out with Todd to show him Earth with the rest of the cast on the balcony. While all the crew of Atlantis crowding balconies of Atlantis.
    it was a very lame ending. Seriously done on the cheap.
    Sheppard had become far to used to killing, murdering Todd after he got them back to Earth would have been something he would do without blinking an eye. Todd was a terrific character and like all the other aliens who have become great additions to Stargate Command, and not necessarily on an SG Team, but he would have had his uses and abilities put to good use and maybe after a year or to on Earth with excursions to see all of Earth from, say a Jumper, and ever mingled with humans at cosplay conventions and even taken out on Halloween for a real treat, if you will excuse the pun.
    Heck he could have even had an episode with him as the main character.
    The writers wasted a great opportunity had the shown gone on to a different STARGATE series of which there are a multitude of ideas, with Todd.
    By the way I NEVER liked Sheppard's character as he came across as a male Mary Sue, NOR McKays. and there was NEVER any real chemistry between him and Jewel's Dr. Keller nor with Ronon.
