Character Details
Doctor Carson Beckett, the Chief Medical Doctor for the Atlantis Expedition with a lovable witty sense of humour. Along with having the Ancient Gene, Beckett is a valuable member of the Atlantis expedition, and has proved his worth many times.
However, having the ability to activate the Ancient technology has landed him in trouble many times, overcoming them each time. Afraid of wormhole travel and the superior Ancient technology, he prefers to stick to his Medical Lab.
