The are divided into two main groups; The Æsir, and the Vanir. The Æsir were a benevolent, extremely advanced race from the Ida galaxy that visited Earth on many occasions, giving rise to both the Greylings, and Norse mythology.
Part of the Alliance of Four Great Races, they were among the most advanced races in the universe, surpassed only by the Ancients, the Nox, and possibly the Furlings. They assumed the role of the Ancients as protectors of the Milky Way when the latter passed from existence and in turn passed that role down to the Tau'ri, to whom they gifted all of their knowledge and latest technology.
The Vanir eventually settled in the Pegasus Galaxy and hold a very pragmatic, ends justifies the means, outlook.
