'''W.O. West''' was a [[US Air Force]] [[Major General]]. He headed [[Project Giza]] in [[1995]], leaving his command to Major General [[George Hammond]] by [[1997]].

== Biography ==

General West was a US Air Force pilot. He was part of the [[Vietnam War]] as well the [[Gulf War]]. He is an expert of small arms.<ref>This part of the biography is deducted from his ribbons and badge.</ref> Later, he was assigned as head of the [[Project Giza]] in the [[Cheyenne Mountain Complex]], [[Colorado Springs]], allowing [[Catherine Langford]] and a civilian team to do researchs on an artefact known at this time as "Doorway to Heaven" ({{ep|Stargate}}).

== Character's evolution ==

=== {{ep|Stargate}} ([[1995]]) ===

Major General West sends two officers to Colonel [[Jack O'Neill]]'s home to inform him he has been reactivated.

Two weeks after [[Daniel Jackson]]'s discovery, he's leading a meeting where Jackson explains the meaning of the seven symbols found on the [[Giza coverstone]]. He allows Colonel O'Neill to show to Jackson an alien device, the [[Stargate]], and orders to launch a dialing sequence with the [[dialing computer]]. After the connection is established, he orders to send a [[probe]] through the Stargate which collects all data for analysis. After Jackson sees that the arrival Stargate has different symbols than the Earth gate,<ref>This is an inconsitency with the ''Stargate'' canon. See [[Help:Canon#Stargate, the movie canon|here]] for more details on the differences.</ref> West is about to cancel the mission, but Jackson convinces him that he can find a way to come back. West then assigns Jackson to the recon team, led by Colonel O'Neill.

Later he meets O'Neill who's looking at the [[Horus guards fossile]] found in the [[Giza]] digging in [[1928]]. He warns O'Neill about the possible threat for Earth and tells him that this was the reason he asked him for the mission.<ref>This part is visible only on the [[Stargate - Director's Cut|Director's Cut]] version of the movie.</ref>

After the return of O'Neill, [[Kawalsky]] and [[Ferretti]] from [[Abydos]], he sends a robot-probe through the gate which crushes instantly. Then, the [[Project Giza]] shuts down, the US Air Force ships all civilian personnel as they run out of money. West leaves the [[Cheyenne Mountain Complex]] for some reason ([[SG1]]: {{ep|Children of the Gods}}).

=== {{ep|Children of the Gods}} ([[1997]]) ===

Major General West is replaced by Major General [[George Hammond]].

=== {{ep|The Torment of Tantalus}} ===

When [[Catherine Langford]] meets Major General [[George Hammond]] for the very first time in [[Stargate Command]], she tells Colonel [[Jack O'Neill]] that Hammond's behavior seems worse than General West's. O'Neill reassures her, stating that "he's a Teddy Bear".
