Ronon Dex (played by . Dr. Beckett manages to extract the device, but a Wraith attack prevents the capture of Ford. He returns with them to Atlantis. When they send a MALP to the gate address he gave them, he found his planet was completely destroyed (" Runner ").

Sheppard offers him a place on his team after he proves his worth against the Marines, nearly beating Teyla and passing the shooting range tests without even blinking (" Duet ").

He has a unique weapon, an energy pistol;
The device emits great red bursts of energy. It has two settings, stun and kill.
In addition, he carries a sword. He most often uses his gun, but does wield his sword to great effect. In addition, he has a number of knives, most of them hidden about his person.

Initially, Ronon Dex appears to be very primal and animalistic, likely due to having been hunted for 7 years that were almost completely void of human contact. However, in later episodes, his character is shown as very laid back, except when confronted by an enemy. The only times that Ronon has shown irrational, violent, and impulsive behavior is when confronted by the Wraith, or when threatened.

Later, Ronon found out that he wasn't the only surviving member of his people. About 300 more Satedans managed to make it to the shelters west of the capital, and later moved to other planets like Ballkan and Manaria. He also learned that Kell, Taskmaster during his military training, was among the survivors. Soon after, when Kell came to Ballkan to trade, Ronon killed him. In his own words, "''Kell commanded several infantry divisions on Sateda. When the Wraith came, he ordered thousands to their death just to save himself. He was...he was a traitor and a coward. My only regret is that his death was quick.''" (" Trinity ").
