Ritual Humiliation'Runner'.
The one who runs.
The very name implies cowardice.
He has a suspicion that the Atlanteans think the Wraith hunt all of those they can't feed on.
They don't.
Just the few who it'll hurt the most.
Shame burns his face as he describes it. Describes how he ran for seven years, often getting people killed though trying not to.
But they don't berate him. They're not scornful of his actions, they're impressed that he fought, amazed he survived.
He doubts he'll ever be able to think that way and he'd been running too long to live in hope.
