Lt. Gen. George Hammond

George Hammond commands Stargate Command from behind a desk at Cheyenne Mountain, the general who signs off on every mission through the gate. Gruff, careful, and burdened with keeping the program secret from Washington's more trigger-happy factions, he wants his people home safe and the Earth undiscovered by anything worse than SG-1 has already found.

Don S. Davis plays authority without ever making it dull — Hammond's gravel voice and steady patience turn what could be a stock commanding-officer role into the show's moral ballast. He argues with senators, trusts his flight teams against orders, and radiates the specific warmth of a man who has earned the right to worry about people he outranks.
