Sodan Jaffa warrior and brother of Jolan. Volnek joined a scouting party to investigate the arrival of several trespassers on P9G-844. He un-cloaked and attacked Colonel Mitchell, but Cameron was able to capture Volnek's staff and fire two shots against his symbiote pouch.
Volnek was captured by SG-1 and SG-22 and was returned to Earth. His symbiote did not survive Dr. Carolyn Lam's surgery, but she was able to sustain him with tretonin instead. At first he did not believe such medicine was possible and closed his ears to Dr. Daniel Jackson and Teal'c.
When the men learned that a Prior had been visiting 844, and that Volnek was a believer, Teal'c and Jackson invited Tass'an of Sartorus to visit and tell the story of his world's downfall to the Ori.
After Jolan spared his life in kel shak lo, Mitchell returned to Earth. He allowed Volnek to take the story of the Prior back with him to 844 in the hopes of sparking a rebellion alongside his brother, who also believed the Prior to be a negative presence to the Sodan.
