Artanis is the youngest Protoss to achieve the coveted rank of Praetor. Despite his youth and relative lack of experience, he is a bold and dynamic leader. Although Artanis was a strong believer of the former Conclave and the destiny of the Protoss, he still harbors a deep respect and admiration for Tassadar and the Tribal unification for which he fought. Artanis hopes to become as great a hero as Tassadar, a hope that may lead the young warrior to forsake his better judgment in his search for glory.

Raszagal
Female Protoss, Age 1045
Dark Templar
Matriarch of the Dark Templar Tribes of Shakuras

As one of the eldest living Protoss, Raszagal has ruled over her Dark Templar Tribes for nearly five hundred years. Imbued with tremendous psychic powers, she was once believed to possess one of the most powerful minds in the galaxy. But now, after selflessly shepherding her Tribe for so many long centuries, Raszagal's control over her powers has begun to slip. Though Raszagal has kept her Tribes secluded upon the planet Shakuras, she has always sought to help the Protoss of Aiur in whatever secret ways she could. Despite her antipathy for the Protoss Conclave, Raszagal still fervently hopes that all of the progeny of her distinguished species will one day be reunited.

Gerard DuGalle 
Male Terran, Age 64
Admiral of the United Earth Directorate's Expeditionary Force

Gerard DuGalle has spent the greater part of his sixty-four years defending the Earth from its enemies. With countless victories to his credit, DuGalle is possibly the greatest military leader within the UED. It was no surprise that, due to the extreme nature of the Koprulu expedition, the UED Council decided unanimously to send DuGalle. Although DuGalle is the consummate soldier, he is uncomfortable with the prospect of 'using' the Zerg to achieve victory. He feels that the Zerg represent an unnecessary risk and he would rather employ more conventional tactics in pacifying the war-torn sector.

Alexei Stukov
Male Terran. Age 52
Vice Admiral of the United Earth
Directorate's Expeditionary Force

Alexei Stukov is a brilliant tactician who has spent most of his military career in top-secret research rather than in actual combat. Stukov is constantly striving to push the limit of conventional technology and physical theory to increase the effectiveness of UED troops in warfare. Though Stukov has been a life long friend of Admiral DuGalle, he was chosen to be second in command of the Koprulu expedition because of his somewhat unconventional vision. There is a strong bond between Stukov and DuGalle. Both men were competitive throughout their youths and still play at getting the best of one another. However, Stukov bows to DuGalle's rank and position as Admiral and will serve his friend unquestioningly in the face of danger.

Former Confederate Operative
