First Prime is a Goa'uld's foremost Jaffa warrior, in command of his army and charged with carrying out his most important tasks. While regular Jaffa usually have a tattoo of their master's symbol in black ink, the first primes have wounds cut in lines on this tattoo. Molten gold is then poured into the cuts, and this gives the First Primes a golden symbol.
Overview
The final task and mission of a Jaffa to their lord and master was avenging their death if they were killed by an enemy. (SG1: "Continuum") This seems to contradict the fact that the jaffa are supposed to beleive that their Goa'uld masters are gods.
History
Ra's First Prime was a Jaffa who wore the head of Anubis. Apophis' First Prime was Teal'c, until he rebelled. Bra'tac has also served as First Prime of Apophis, and of Klorel.
