Khalek was a Human-Goa'uld Hybrid created by Anubis on P3X-584. Anubis reconstructed his own DNA and combined it with Human DNA and accelerated his evolutionary development using a DNA resequencer. Khalek had the genetic memory of Anubis, along with Anubis' sociopathic and homicidal tendencies, and referred to Anubis as his "father". He also possessed various powers of Near ascension such as psychokinesis, telekinesis, telepathy, rapid healing ability, and was well on his mental development to natural Ascension.
