Aldaris by aitherion

Representing the Judicator Caste, Aldaris sat on the Conclave of Aiur for many years, directing Executors as they fought in great battles for the Protoss. Distrusting of the Templar Caste, yet willing to accept when he had made mistakes, the wary Judicator was present at the Fall of Aiur as the mighty Tassadar sacrificed himself to destroy the Overmind.

Continuing onward as a guide to the new Praetor Artanis, Aldaris escaped Aiur to the homeworld of the Dark Templar, Shakuras. Accompanied by Zeratul, the band fought to reclaim the planet from the Zerg that invaded it by activating a Xel'naga temple with the help of the Queen of Blades.

Ultimately, Aldaris' lack of trust in his allies would prove to be the correct path, but also his downfall. Learning that the Dark Templar Matriarch, Raszagal, had been turned to Kerrigan's thrall, Aldaris led a band of Protoss warriors to rebel against the alliance formed between his former comrades and the nascent Swarm. Defeated at the hands of Artanis and the new Executor, Aldaris was killed by the Queen of Blades as he sought to justify his actions and clear his name.

Betrayer, betrayed. Aldaris' name serves as a rallying cry to this day for the Judicator Caste, and there are those who are aware of his true story who still speak of him as a sort of dark hero. Without his betrayal, the Queen of Blades would never have been exposed as the insidious schemer she was.

Though he may no longer serve on Aiur, Aldaris' dedication to his home shines through as he fights in the Nexus, bringing to bear the power of ancient Judicator Arbiters to bring honor and justice to the battlefield.

Aldaris is a ranged specialist with low damage and a fragile health pool, but a variety of abilities to assist his allies and cause mass disruption against individual enemy heroes. En taro Adun!
