Biography[]
Background information[]
In the far, distant past, at least one Ancient became an ancestor in Lam's or Landry's family line, passing down the Ancient Technology Activation gene to her.
Carolyn was the daughter of base commander Major General Henry Landry, and his ex-wife Kim Lam.
Lam was recruited as the chief medical officer for Stargate Command by Brigadier General Jack O'Neill, who did not tell her that she would be working for her father.
Carolyn was assigned to Stargate Command not knowing that her father would be the commanding officer.
Her original estrangement and feelings of hostility towards her father, which grew as a result of resentment towards him not being present as she grew up, gradually faded as Carolyn began to understand how hard it must have been for her father not being able to express the truth due to his duty's classified nature.
The relationship improved to the point she aided in Landry's attempts to reconcile with ex-wife Kim, which ultimately were successful.
Before joining Stargate Command she worked for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Carolyn still served as chief medical officer in 2383 when Samantha Carter got command of Stargate Commnd.
