Mitchell Snow

Mitchell Snow is a Lance Corporal (E-3) in the USMC and part of AR-9, along with Herschel, Gamble, and Drew. Snow has a degree computer sciences and is a good hacker. Born in Virginia, 1981, he joins the Corps at age nineteen. Before joining the SGC, he went to Afghanistan, and during his tour he was awarded and promoted. In 2003, he becomes part of the SGC and in 2004 goes with the Original First Wave Expedition to Atlantis, along with his team, and they become AR-9 under the direction of Lieutenant Drew. They go on a number of missions, tending to end up under fire more often than not - AR-9 has a reputation of never being able to catch a break, constantly running into Wraith or angry locals.
Snow is affectionately called Mitch by his teammates and friends in the City. Being one of the Original Expedition members, a veteran, he is part of a deep camaraderie and sense of belonging. Historyseeking antebellumAR-9 joins AR-1 and AR-4 during the Aurora’s mission to explore the ruins of an Ancient facility on Deserum, in early 2006. They go to the surface. An earthquake strikes, making the outpost collapse, and Snow is cut up on some broken glass, but the injury is mild. He and Gamble are taken to the Aurora for medical treatment, while the others stay on the planet to dig for Sheppard and McKay, who have been buried in the rubble.
Then Snow and his team along with AR-4 return to Earth for the first time since the beginning of the Expedition for leave, scheduled to return when the Daedalus makes its next milk run. One of the first things he does is call his mother, whom he has tried to email a few times since the City once again had contact with Earth. His father passed away in final stage bone cancer while Snow was away, and his mother is his only other living relative. After that phone call, he leaves the Mountain, and his team can't get hold of him. Assuming he's ill (Snow has always had a bad luck with his constitution), they worry only a little bit. When Snow doesn't show up for awhile, coinciding with a mysterious message from an undercover NID Agent, his half-brother Bradley White, questions begin to be asked. Snow is lured to Washington, D.C., by these messages, but it is a setup. In February 2006, Snow is kidnapped and tortured by Athena. He has to watch how White's Daemon is forced to mimic the shape of Snow's before White is brutally murdered. He is taken to an industrial warehouse and tortured for information on how to hack the SGC's servers, among other things. Snow is rescued days later by AR-9, AR-4 and NCIS Agents Gibbs, Todd and McGee. Due to his injures he is rushed to a hospital in Washington, D.C., where he undergoes surgery of his shattered kneecap. His team and AR-4 stay by his side. While at the hospital, Athena attacks, causing a fire. MacGrimmon is injured. Athena escapes the scene. Afterward, Snow and the marines are ringed by the Prometheus by Cheyenne Mountain, where he spends the rest of the recovery. Snow returns to Atlantis with his team in April, 2006. Due to his injury, he cannot return to the team a hundred percent. He is given an intro course to the Control Room by Chuck, and will only go on certain missions with his team. At other times AR-9 will be joined by either Dr Kranz or Sergeant Parker. A funeral for Bradley is held in March 2006. Snow and his mother are there.
the law of gravityAfter the promotion of several marines in late 2006, Gamble has the idea to throw a party. Almost every Atlantis marine is there. Snow takes it pretty easy, playing poker with MacGrimmon, Dex, Evans and Johnson. At this time, he works part-time with his team and otherwise in the Control Room as a Gate technician, because of his knee injury.
