Bates is a career military man who has demonstrated abilities for being thorough and extremely cautious.

Bates involvement in the Atlantis expedition began from the onset. On that expedition, he was second-in-command of the USMC security forces under Colonel Marshall Sumner. When scouting for a possible evacuation site on the planet Athos, he and Sumner were captured by the humanoid alien species called the "Wraith" and imprisoned onboard a hibernating colony ship known as a "Wraith hive-ship".

Bates was subsequently rescued by Major John Sheppard along with some Athosians who had been culled by the Wraith darts.

In this new role, he became highly suspicious of the Athosian refugees they had rescued, believing them to be a security threat. This belief was tested when it was discovered that the Wraith had planted a homing device in an old necklace worn by Teyla Emmagan, a homing device inadvertantly activated by Sheppard upon touching it -- as the device detected the Ancient gene. While the homing device did not directly bring the Wraith to Atlantis, it did bring the Wraith to planets visited by the Atlantis Expedition, which had been seeded with subspace relay stations that broadcasted the signal to the closest hive-ship.

While Teyla was absolved from being a security threat, Teyla became a topic of argument between Bates and Sheppard. An argument revisited when it was discovered that Teyla had Wraith DNA, left over from an unsanctioned experiment done by a Wraith scientist on Teyla's people, who hoped that integrating their DNA into human biology would make a more compatible food-source. This DNA introduced the possibility of detecting the presence of a Wraith, as well as the possibility of communicating to them through telepathy. The Wraith, with superior psionic abilities, could use such a connection to control Teyla remotely (either as a spy or as a sleeper agent of sorts) -- something which Bates did not appreciate.

On the eve of an attack by the Wraith fleet, Bates aimed to have Teyla restricted from sensitive areas of Atlantis and removed from the base. Bates went as so far as to accuse her of collaborating with the Wraith, which Teyla took as an insult. After the incident, which almost deteriorated into fisticuffs, Bates was found in a remote section of Atlantis, beaten to unconsciousness. As a result of his injuries, which included a fractured collarbone, five broken ribs, and a concussion, Dr. Carson Beckett placed Bates in a medically-induced coma. While Teyla was believed to be responsible for the attack, a Wraith (later dubbed "Bob") scout was found to be responsible and later terminated by Sheppard.
