After winning a battle with Arkad's forces, someone killed Teal'c's mother in her sleep. According to Bra'tac, someone slipped into the village in the middle of the night and slit her throat. Years later, Arkad claimed to be responsible, but Teal'c believed if he had been responsible, he was too cowardly to do it himself.

Teal'c is an accomplished tracker, having demonstrated this on many occasions, and has exceptional sensory skills. Occasionally this has inadvertently gotten him into trouble with local law enforcement - on one occasion, he prevented an assault, taking down three men at once. He was also able to throw an avocado precisely to hit a purse-snatcher from a long distance, knocking him out. These incidents nevertheless highlight Teal'c's lawfulness and reliability. (SG1: Affinity)
Powers and abilities
Teal'c was born a member of the Jaffa race that were genetically engineered race created by the Goa'uld to be living incubators and a slave warrior race.

The creature resided in his abdomen in a pouch that took the form of an x-shaped scar on his body. (SG1: Children of the Gods)
