From Wikipedia:
The television series Farscape features an extensivecast of characters created by Rockne S. O'Bannon. The series is setaboard a living spacecraft named Moya of the Leviathan race. Thephysical, racial and species-specific cultural characteristics, aswell as underlying mythological/sociological similarities' anddifferences of the alien races portrayed in Farscape wereconceptualised and created by Jim Henson's Creature Shop
Dominar Rygel XVI(called simply Rygel) was once theroyal ruler of the Hynerian Empire. He is known for being selfish andcollects anything valuable and was one of two regular puppetcharacters on the show. Rygel was operated by John Eccleston, SeanMasterson, Tim Mieville, Matt McCoy, Mario Halouvas and Fiona Gentle.His voice was provided by Jonathan Hardy.
Rygel has a long history. After ruling for an unknownnumber of years as Dominar of the Hynerians, he was overthrown by hiscousin Bishan. After the overthrow, which occurred over 130 cycles(years) before the events of Farscape, he became a prisoner of thePeacekeepers. During this time, he was imprisoned in several placesand tortured, most notably by Selto Durka, captain of thenear-legendary ship, the Zelbinion, and was eventually transferred toMoya. Due to his size and cunning, he is able not only to leave hiscell at will, but also to organize and carry out a revolt among theother prisoners placed on Moya, allowing them to escape Peacekeepercontrol. After the escape (i.e., during the series), Rygel is shownto be cunning and resourceful but also focused almost entirely on hisown personal goals and wealth. As time goes on, his egocentricattitude becomes less prevalent and he warms to his role as a memberof Moya's crew. A recurring gag in Farscape involves him flatulatinghelium when he gets nervous, causing everyone's voices to have ahigher pitch by the offensive gas. At the end of the series, Bishanpleads with him to return to help reunite their people and Rygeldeparts to do so with a devastated Chiana.
A parody of him was in the Stargate SG-1 episode"200" as an Asgard with a Fu-Manchu beard and mustache; hisonly line was the Hynerian curse "Yotz", similar in use andmeaning as the earth curse "Hell".
