Who this is

Omega is the final letter of the Greek alphabet, paired with Alpha, the first letter, in the divine self-description “I am Alpha and Omega,” found three times in Revelation (1:8; 21:6; 22:13). The phrase functions as a title, not a name, declaring God, and in 22:13 Christ, as the beginning and end of all things, encompassing everything in between. The imagery draws on a common ancient rhetorical device of using the first and last letters of an alphabet to signify totality.
