Kasuf was a character in the fictional Stargate universe (played by Erick Avari) who was the leader of the people of Abydos.
Like the other members of his tribe he followed Ra and believed that he is a god. When the first Stargate expedition arrived on the planet, he believed that they were sent by Ra because Daniel Jackson wore an amulet with Ra's symbol on it. However when Ra arrived he sent two Death gliders to attack the village, which convinces Kasuf that they shouldn't have helped the visitors - however his children Skaara and Sha're thought different about it and both of them started to realize that Ra was not a god. So they helped Col. O'Neill and his team fight against Ra's Jaffa, much to their father's shock but when Daniel shows him that under the masks of the Jaffa are normal humans he also starts to realize that Ra is not a god. So he and his tribe attack Ra's Jaffa, thus saving the Stargate team and his son. ("Stargate")
A year after the planet was freed from slavery by Ra, Daniel had married Sha're, thus making Kasuf his father-in-law. However when O'Neill and his people returned, the people of Abydos were attacked by Apophis and Kasuf's children Sha're and Skaara were kidnapped and became hosts for the Goa'uld. ("Children of the Gods")
Another year later, Sha're returned carrying a Harcesis child and Kasuf helped Daniel Jackson hide the child from Apophis. ("Secrets")
Kasuf, together with other members of his tribe, is one year later captured by Amonet, the Goa'uld who controls his daughter. However SG-1 rescues them but during this operation Teal'c is forced to kill Amonet and thus Sha're to safe Daniel's life. ("Forever in a Day")
Kasuf calls SG-1 back one year later after he and other members of his tribe heard a strange wind whispering Sha're's name. It turns out that this "wind" is in fact his grandchild Shifu - the Harcesis. ("Absolute Power")
Abydos' human settlement and the Stargate were destroyed by the System Lord Anubis a few years later, but its people were ascended to a higher plane of existence by Oma Desala. ("Full Circle"). After the System Lord Anubis destroyed Abydos, like all the other Abydonians, Kasuf also ascended along with them, by the help of Oma Desala.
