[[Colonel]] '''Lionel Pendergast''' is a male [[Tau'ri]], a member of the [[United States Air Force]] and the commander of the [[Prometheus]].

==Biography==
He is [[Pendergast's wife|married]] and has kids. {{Cite|SG1|Ethon}} When a ship was detected heading for [[Earth]], he had the weapons readied. He had a channel opened to communicate but luckily it was an [[Daniel Jackson (ship)|Asgard ship]] with [[Teal'c]] aboard. {{Cite|SG1|New Order, Part 2}} He commanded the ship as it scanned for a [[Cloak|cloaked]] [[Osiris' Al'kesh|Al'kesh]]. After [[Daniel Jackson]] got aboard the Al'kesh he disabled the cloak, allowing them to locate the ship but couldn't fire on it because Jackson and [[Samantha Carter]] were aboard. After receiving a transmitter signal from inside, he ordered it locked on and the [[Asgard Transporter]]s used, taking the stolen [[Stargate]] and [[SG-1]] off the ship before it fled. {{Cite|SG1|Endgame}} While looking for Osiris' Al'kesh, they came under attack from the ship and he ordered them to fire back and later ordered it destroyed. {{Cite|SG1|Full Alert}}

He took the Prometheus to [[P4C-452]] to pick up SG-1 and take them to [[Kallana]] to stop an [[Ori]] beachhead from being built. When [[Jaffa]] ships arrived and began firing on the beachhead, Pendergast contacted them and asked that they stop as SG-1 was down there. {{Cite|SG1|Beachhead}} He welcomed Mitchell and Teal'c aboard the Prometheus as they came to search Earth's orbit for a [[Ha'tak]]. When it had been found, Pendergast contacted them and asked them to stand down. He was later contacted by Mitchell who asked him to beam a [[Halcyon Tower|building]] in [[Seattle]] into space as it had been laced with [[Naquadah]] and would soon explode. {{Cite|SG1|Ex Deus Machina}}

He commanded the Prometheus for a mission to [[Tegalus]] to take out an [[Ori Satellite weapon]]. When the weapon began powering up he ordered [[Missile|missiles]] fired on it but it caused no damage. The weapon fired and severely damaged the ship. After a second shot, Pendergast contacted the [[Rand Protectorate]] and offered surrender, stating that they only attacked once the satellite powered up and targeted them. With his surrender not accepted, he had the crew beamed down to the planet and remained to last to make sure that everyone got off. He died when the ship was fired on again. {{Cite|SG1|Ethon}}
