DeCandido was critical of Kudak ' Etan ' s character , writing , " " Kudak ’ etan does things , not because it ’ s smart , but because he ’ s enjoying snarking off Ixtana ’ rax — exactly the kind of petty stupidity that the Jem ’ Hadar have been mostly free of . " " Apocrypha . Kudak ' Etan is featured in the " Star Trek Customizable Card Game " , which describes him as an " Arrogant First " .
