First Prime

A Goa'uld's foremost Jaffa warrior, in command of his army and charged with carrying out his most important tasks. Their masters demand -- and reward -- absolute loyalty, as the First Prime is frequently tasked with passing along the Goa'uld's commands and making sure these are implemented.

Ra's First Prime was a Jaffa who wore the head of Anubis. Apophis's First Prime was Teal'c, until he rebelled. Bra'tac has also served as First Prime of Apophis, and of Klorel.

Other named First Primes include Herak (First Prime to Anubis), Oshu (in the service of Yu), and Kytano (Imhotep).
