Arkad

"He is a serpent!"

- Bra'tac

Arkad was a Jaffa who became a follower of Origin.

Arkad was once a pupil of Bra'tac, who always felt there was "something wrong" with Arkad. Eventually, he became the First Prime of another Goa'uld. The System Lord Apophis later sent Teal'c to attack a world called Korake, and Teal'c directed the Ha'tak's to bombard the planet orbitally, killing Arkad's parents and sister. Arkad later arrainged for Teal'c's mother to be murdered in reprisal. Over the next several years, Teal'c and Bra'tac would engage his forces, defeating them, yet Arkad would always escape.

After the fall of the Goa'uld Empire, Arkad was relegated to the fringes of the various Jaffa who emerged. When the Ori invasion began, Arkad pledged himself to the Ori. He arrainged to a deal with Adria where Jaffa from Ori controlled planets would mine naquadah for a series of bombings on Earth, leaving the Tau'ri vulnerable to attack by the Ori Army. When he learned of a summit intended to reform the Free Jaffa Nation, bombing it and killing thirty two Jaffa. Teal'c left Stargate Command to kill Arkad, even attacking SG-1 in the process. Teal'c was injured while heading to Arkad, who then fought Teal'c. After impaling Teal'c with a sword, Arkad took credit for killing Teal'c's mother. Teal'c kicked him onto a hook holding weapons, piercing his chest, then drove the sword through Arkad.
