Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen,
I’m Richard Hammel, owner and CEO of the Hammel Biotech Corporation. I arrived here from Seattle just recently, after the building of my company was blown up by the SG1 destroyed by accident.
I’m looking forward to meet you pathetic slaves people.
A powerful System Lord, Baal is not generally a fair player when dealing with his fellow Goa'uld. He once wiped out 60 million people in two star systems rather than lose them to Sokar during a territorial dispute. If he feels that he has been treated negligently, he has been known to give concealed explosives as gifts.
Baal was one of the System Lords who voted to have Anubis rejoin their ranks, perhaps not totally aware of the implications. Baal was not a System Lord during the era when Anubis was among the highest-ranking Goa'uld, more than a thousand years ago.
He also has a dark and complex relationship with Lord Yu, whom he has been particularly opposed to over the years of the System Lord's reign in the galaxy. But this does not prevent them from meeting for civilized discussion. Yu was the only opposing System Lord (and the only member to survive from Anubis's era), making him a prime target of Anubis.
Anubis sent Baal's forces as a final, crushing blow to Yu and his army -- but Yu managed to escape destruction. He did, however, finally manage to speak reason into Baal, and they unified against Anubis in orbit of Abydos. But Anubis had found the Eye of Ra, the final piece to the puzzle of his super weapon. He destroyed the System Lords' fleet of motherships, presumably including some of Baal's forces.

After his forces destroyed, Baal found refuge in the Earth. He certainly blended in. He's not hiding out, as in he has a huge estate with body guards around him that nobody can get to. He's in plain sight. He's hiding in full view.
Baal has the technology to duplicate himself, so he has at least four clones.
Mun brought him here to cause some trouble and as supporting character for a recent plot mun’s running with her PICs.
Baal has portrayed by Cliff Simon.
