Michael Kenmore: Prisoner, Experiment, and Warlord

Michael Kenmore began as a Wraith prisoner, became an unwilling human experiment, and emerged as one of the most dangerous independent warlords in Pegasus. Atlantis used the retrovirus to suppress his Wraith biology, erased his memory, and gave him a false identity among expedition personnel. This episode traces how Michael uncovered the deception, reverted toward his original form, and found himself rejected by both humans and Wraith. His former hive regarded the transformation as contamination, while Atlantis continued to treat him as a threat and research subject. That exclusion shaped his later strategy. Michael combined human and Wraith genetics, transformed captives into hybrids, seized ships, and built forces loyal to neither established species. His war was driven by survival, revenge, and the ambition to replace both societies with one under his control. Michael’s rise demonstrates how a weaponized medical experiment created the enemy it was intended to neutralize. Visit ImaginedBattlefield.com for more military and science fiction.
