K'tano, the former First Prime of Imhotep, became a charismatic leader of the Jaffa after Teal'c rebelled against Apophis and started a wide-spread Jaffa uprising against the Goa'uld System Lords. He was able to gather a rather impressive army, which he transported to a planet that was unknown to the Goa'uld.
To insure the success of his rebellion, which needed food and medical supplies that they were unable to procure for themselves, he attempted to create an alliance with Stargate Command from Earth. Bra'tac, who was impressed by the charismatic and determined Jaffa, contacted the SGC and arranged a meeting. K'tano quickly impressed Teal'c, showing devotion verging on fanaticism, and brought him and Bra'tac to the point where they would fight with him and the rest of his Jaffa army. However, Jack O'Neill did not accept K'tano's motivations so readily, concerned over his lack of consideration for the lives of his subordinates. In fact, K'tano crossed many moral boundaries by ordering his Jaffa on suicide missions with naqahdah-enhanced bombs, sacrificing their lives for morale-boosting yet inconsequential victories over the Goa'uld.
Despite Jack's words of caution Teal'c did not listen, and was even willing to embark on a mission for K'tano which planned on attacking Yu's homeworld. It was believed that Yu was in a vulnerable state and would be ripe for an assassination. However, when Teal'c arrived, he was quickly captured by Yu. He informed Teal'c that K'tano was a traitor and, though he is tempted to execute the shol'va, he sent Teal'c back to the rebel to expose K'tano.
After Teal'c returned to the Jaffa's rebellion planet, arriving just as the remainder of SG-1 was planning to return to Earth, he challenged K'tano to Jomo'sequ, a ritual battle to decide a leader. During this battle K'tano's true identity was revealed: he appeared to be the Goa'uld Imhotep, who once built the Great Pyramids on Earth as landing platforms for the Goa'uld Ha'taks. It seemed that Imhotep, who had never achieved the rank of System Lord or other such power levels, decided to exploit the Jaffa rebellion for his own gain. Disguising himself as his own First Prime he infiltrated the organization and planned to rule the Jaffa after they succeeded in toppling the System Lords. Once his identity was revealed he was killed by Teal'c in the ritual battle, securing Teal'c as ruler of the Jaffa Rebellion and removing yet another Goa'uld from the Galaxy. [1]
