Biography
2007
- "News that the leader of the Ori Army had been captured came as a ray of hope to my people. That being said, the extraction procedure that we are about to undertake is extremely difficult. Even though we have refined the process considerably, there remains a very real risk that Adria will not survive."
- ―Ta'Seem[src]
He traveled to the Earth vessel Odyssey to extract the Goa'uld symbiote, Ba'al, from Adria and replace it with a Tok'ra symbiote, Zanuf. The extraction procedure failed, as Ba'al released its fatal symbiote toxin before the removal process could be completed. Following Ba'al's removal, Adria regained consciousness and used the minutes she had left to live to kill Ta'Seem and the guards and ascend. Ta'Seem had once known Vala Mal Doran as Qetesh.

Behind the scenes
- Ta'Seem, like all Tok'ra, are biologically Goa'uld and are technically the same species. However, the Tok'ra do not take kindly to being called Goa'uld and do not believe in taking hosts against their will and instead form a symbiotic relationship with them. (SG1: "The Tok'ra, Part 1", "The Tok'ra, Part 2")
