I would say cannibalism ISN'T linked with the Wendigo, in my opinion. In my opinion Wendigo Pyschosis is a form of virus or rabies which infects the victim when the victim is bitten by the Wendigo, and in doing so the virus physically transforms the victim into a new Wendigo, thus producing another Wendigo.

Cannibalism HAS been practiced worldwide, so Wendigo cannot be linked to cannibalism in my opinion, otherwise wouldn't all cannibals become Wendigos? To me, humans bitten by Wendigo can transform into new ones themselves.

So i.e. if they killed a Wendigo that bit them, the original Wendigo would die, but they themselves would slowly turn into one. In my opinion, the transformation takes up to a fortnight. And it speeds up with the number of humans they kill and eat during the transformation.

So, going back to your original question, is there an Alpha Wendigo in Supernatural, I would say no, not one she created, so agreeing with you. But maybe... there could have been a man who practiced cannibalism (in the show's version of Wendigos, at least) when the first Native Americans entered America, and then became the first Wendigo evah. As Wendigo are immortal (both in myths and in the show) he would still technically be around, as in the show fire is the only way to kill one, and thus he would be the "Alpha Wendigo."

I believe only silver can kill Wendigos, like a silver sword or knife or javelin, and they need to be stabbed in the heart, and the heart only. Once the heart is stabbed, it and the Wendigo explode into ice.
