Heru-ur (Stargate)
Template:Stargate character In the science fiction television show Stargate SG-1, the fictional character Heru-ur was a Goa'uld on whom the fiction claims the Heru-ur (Horus) of Egyptian mythology was based.
Heru-ur was the son of Ra and Hathor and inherited much of Ra's empire after his father was killed in the movie Stargate. He was also a fairly strong Goa'uld in his own right. He also commands one of the biggest Goa'uld fleets. Like his father, his Jaffa used Horus helmets and his is a bitter enemy of Apophis. Heru-ur was also one of the more militaristic System Lords, being described as a conqueror, and wore golden battle armor. Template:Spoiler Heru-ur first appeared in the second season episode "Thor's Chariot" in which he attacked the world Cimmeria. One year earlier SG-1 visited the planet during which they were forced to destroy Thor's Hammer, an Asgard weapon which protected the planet. Because of this the planet was easily conquered by the Goa'uld, who started to build pyramids as landing places for his Ha'tak ships. Although SG-1 helped some rebels from the planet to fight against Heru-ur's forces, they were no match for them and captured by the Jaffa. However they were able to contact the Asgard Thor who appeared with his mothership and destroyed the Goa'uld forces and buildings. Heru-ur barely escaped through the Stargate.
Heru-ur again appeared in the episode "Secrets" when he plans to steal Apophis' and Amonet's child from Abydos. So he went there with his Jaffa but Teal'c is able to kill one of his guards, takes his clothes and convinces Amonet that Heru-ur stole her child. He later returns with Daniel Jackson to the gate where they, together with their teammates, fight against Heru-ur and his guards. Although Heru-ur possessed a personal shield he again is forced to flee by the Ring Transporter on his ship above.
Heru-ur at last appeared in season four episode "The Serpent's Venom", when he planned to make an alliance with Apophis, despite them being former enemies. Because neither of the them trusted the other they met in a minefield in the Tobin system, and if anyone would attack, the mines would react to them. However the Tok'ra heard about this meeting, and with the help of SG-1, planned on making Apophis believe that Heru-ur had attacked him during the meeting by reprogramming a mine. They were successful but then Apophis revealed a whole cloaked fleet and he easily destroyed Heru-ur's ship thus killing him. Afterwards Apophis takes over Heru-ur's forces, becoming stronger than ever.
Although Heru-ur doesn't appear since then it is mentioned in season four episode "Double Jeopardy" that SG-1 once freed the world Juna from the occupation of Heru-ur. However this led to the world taken over by Cronus.
