Kudak'Etan, one of the first Alphas.

The Alphas were Jem'Hadar who were created in the Alpha Quadrant in 2374, after the Dominion realized that reinforcements through Bajoran wormhole was no longer accessible to them. The Alphas were genetically engineered to fight against Alpha Quadrant species. They believe themselves to be superior to the "Gammas", Jem'Hadar who were bred in the Gamma Quadrant, leading to considerable friction between the two groups. The first significant combat action of the Alphas was the brief capture of the USS Defiant, under Kudak'Etan. ("One Little Ship")

The friction between the Alphas and the Gammas was planned to be expanded later in Deep Space Nine, but the idea was shelved. "One Little Ship" remains the only episode to mention the Alphas and the Gammas.
