The Magistrate was the leader of the Olesian people. His predecessors had put their Penal colony on the island with the Stargate so that the Wraith could feed on the prisoners, and not the Olesian population. After meeting Lt. Colonel John Sheppard's team, the Magistrate met with a Wraith for a meal, where the Wraith told him that he called other Wraith so that they may also feast on the planet's people. After this, the Magistrate ordered several people to be arrested so as to feed the approaching Wraith. After the Prisoners escaped through the Stargate, the three Wraith cruisers headed for the mainland. (SGA: "Condemned")
