Gelnon was a Vorta male who lead Dominion forces during the Dominion War. Among the Jem'Hadar under his command was Kudak'Etan.
Biography
In 2374, Gelnon's fighter attacked and damaged the USS Defiant, which was engaged in a scientific study of a subspace compression. Gelnon's soldiers boarded the ship and took the crew prisoner. Gelnon left Kudak'Etan in charge to bring the Defiant to a Dominion base, while his ship launched an attack on the dilithium mines of Coridan III. (DS9 episode: "One Little Ship")
Several weeks later, Gelnon formed an alliance between the Dominion and the Orion Syndicate. Gelnon's plan was for the Syndicate to kill the Klingon ambassador to New Sydney, an opponent of Chancellor Gowron who wanted the Klingon Empire to withdraw from the war. Gelnon believed that the use of Klingon disruptors would make it look like Gowron had ordered the ambassadors assassination and turn him into a martyr for the anti-war cause and the dissolution of the Khitomer Accords.

Alternate timeline
In a reality where the Milky Way Galaxy was embroiled in conflicts between multiple races and cultures in 2364, Gelnon was in command of a fleet during the conflict. Gelnon had an opportunity to be promoted based on his battle experiences, but at the cost of constant vigilance against the possibility of combat with Klingons, Romulans, Breen, Cardassians and Starfleet forces, as well as in danger from the Xindi, Ferengi, Orions and Borg that had taken over systems that had become neutral as they fell away from the Klingon Empire, Romulan Star Empire, Breen Confederacy, Cardassian Union and Federation governments.
