1 Vala Mal Doran was host to a Goa'uld symbiote, much like Skaara was to Klorel. What was the name of the Goa'uld which shared her body?

Qetesh was extracted from Vala by the Tok'ra and as Goa'uld cannot survive after removal from their host, it is highly likely that she died. Qetesh was a rival of Ba'al, who tortured Jack O'Neill and was a major Goa'uld threat to Earth. Jolinar (of Malkshur) was the Tok'ra who was carried as a symbiote by Samantha Carter. Sokar was a Goa'uld system lord who nearly reached Earth by heating up the Iris and passing through it.
