User Profile

John Sheppard is an experienced pilot, though his reputation was somewhat tarnished when he disobeyed a direct order in Afghanistan in an unsuccessful attempt to save the lives of several servicemen. He has experience flying AH-1 Cobra, AH-64 Apache, OH-58 Kiowa, UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters and CV-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft. He requested a remote post at McMurdo Station. When called upon to transport General Jack O'Neill to the research base that had been established at the nearby Ancient defense facility, he inadvertently discovered that he not only had the ATA gene (the genetic factor necessary to activate Ancient technology), but that he was naturally proficient at using it. After some doubts, he finally joined the expedition to Atlantis, although Col. Marshall Sumner made it clear he was not pleased about Sheppard's involvement in the mission.

After infiltrating a Wraith hive ship, Sheppard found Colonel Sumner near death at the hands of the Wraith Keeper, and decided to kill his superior officer to spare him from more suffering, and the end the security threat posed by the Colonel's now vulnerable mind. Upon his return to Atlantis, Sheppard discovered that he was now the highest ranking military officer of the Expedition, and summarily took over as Dr. Elizabeth Weir's head of military and security for Atlantis base. After a year of service in the Pegusus galaxy, Sheppard was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel at the insistence of Dr. Weir, as the leader of the Expedition wanted no one else as her military commander.

In addition to his role as Atlantis Military Commander, Sheppard leads the primary 'Gate Team of Atlantis Base, which consists of members Rodney McKay, Teyla Emmagan and, most recently, Ronon Dex.
