Ixtana'Rax in 2374
Ixtana'Rax was a Jem'Hadar soldier during the Dominion War. He had been the First under the Vorta Gelnon, until he was replaced in 2374 by the 'Alpha' Kudak'Etan, becoming Second. Ixtana'Rax was skeptical of the Alpha Quadrant Jem'Hadars' supposed superiority, stating that they had not yet proven themselves. He himself was an "honored elder", since he was over twenty years of age.
After his unit had captured the USS Defiant, Ixtana'Rax warned Kudak'Etan against allowing Captain Benjamin Sisko and his officers access to the ship, since it would give them an opportunity to retake the ship. Kudak'Etan overruled his recommendation, though Ixtana'Rax eventually discovered that the Starfleet officers had been hiding the extent of their repair work.
Ixtana'Rax was again overruled when he advised that the system be checked for sabotage after the repairs were complete; as a result, the ship was nearly destroyed by a computer virus Sisko had programmed to activate when the warp drive was brought online. Fortunately, at that time the miniaturized runabout USS Rubicon created a diversion and allowed the crew to retake engineering. Ixtana'Rax was killed by Major Kira Nerys in the fight.
