PRE-STARGATE:
Nothing is known about Dr. Jackson's birth parents, as the first record of him appear in the records of the Mayweather Foster Home for Boys of Victoria, British Columbia. He was adopted by Melburn and Claire Jackson when he was merely 6 months old.
When Dr. Jackson was 8 years old, he witnessed the death of his foster parents, and was helpless to save them. He went to live with his Grandfather, Nicholas Ballard after that.
He was schooled at Oxford, graduating with a co-degree in Cultural Anthropology (with a focus on Ancient Egyptian studies), and Foreign Languages. He was not well received on the speaking circuit, though, due to his wild (yet ultimately true) theories on the origins of the Pyramids.
He was contacted by Catherine Langford, who's father discovered the Stargate, and joined the group shortly before it's takeover by the US Air Force. Dr. Jackson was ultimately responsible for the activation of the Stargate.
STARGATE:
The first Stargate team, lead by Col. Johnathan "Jack" O'Neill, entered the Stargate at Dr. Jackson's insistence he could return them home. Once they arrived, however, that wasn't the case. Their search for the origin glyph led them to encounter the peoples of Abydos.
They discovered the oppressions of the Gao'uld System Lord Ra, and fought to defeat him, becoming ultimately sucessful.
Dr. Jackson managed to learn the native dialect, and fell in love with one of the young girls, Sha're, whom he married. When the team left, he chose to stay behind to be with her, and help the Abydosians recover and learn.
STARGATE SG-1/ STARGATE COMMAND (SGC):
Daniel returned through the Stargate six months ago and joined the SGC team in his original role. It is unclear at this time how his divided interests will affect him, but he as thus far still proven to be a reliable, useful asset to the ongoing Stargate mission.
