Second rank engineer officer of the Stromos, a native of the planet Talthus, and responsible for maintaining several of the ship's vital life support systems. A skeptic, Tryan found it hard to believe his consciousness had been transferred into another person's body with about a dozen others of his people. In an act of desperation, Officer Pharrin allowed Tryan's body to die as his stasis chamber lost power, but Tryan's consciousness was transferred into Daniel Jackson's body as a vessel.
Tryan was one of the more helpful consciousnesses in Jackson's body, able to work under pressure and pain rendered by the others within him. Jackson's body was eventually returned to the Stromos, where Tryan's consciousness was transferred into Pharrin's mind as an exchange for Stargate Command's help in finding a new homeworld for their people, and possibly Ardena.
