Selmak is a Tok'ra symbiote in the televison series Stargate SG-1 played by Joy Coghill and Carmen Argenziano.

History

The death of Saroosh, Selmak's former host, made it possible for Jacob Carter, Samantha Carter's father to become host to Selmak. In return for choosing to become a host, Jacob's cancer was healed in the blending process. Jacob Carter became the liaison between the Tau'ri and the Tok'ra and was made a member of the Tok'ra High Council. He was not alway kept in the loop because some Tok'ra suspected that Jacob's loyalties to the Tau'ri greatly influenced Selmak.

Selmak and Jacob have been helpful to Stargate Command on several occasions. His vast knowledge and experience as well as his access to Tok'ra resources make him a valuable ally. He has come to the aid of SG-1 many times over the years.

Selmak was nearly 2000 years old when he blended with Jacob Carter and, was in the last years of his life. After helping the Tau'ri defeat the Replicators, Selmak slipped into a coma, and died a short time before Jacob.
