    Give your prediction for the story of StarCraft II and its heroes.

    Heroes / Characters:
    Jim Raynor - Main Character, leader of Raynor's Raiders
    Sarah Kerrigan - Main Character, Queen of Blades and leader of the Swarm
    Zeratul - Main Character, leader of the Protoss
    Artanis - Main/Side Character, Praetor
    Arcturus Mengsk II - Side Character, leader of the Dominion
    Valerian Mengsk - Side Character. heir of Arcturus
    Some UED Leader - Side Character
    Daggoth - Side Character, Cerebrate of the Swarm
    Samir Duran - Main/Side character, tool of the Xel'Naga
    Nova - Main/Side Character, Ghost
    Michael Liberty * - Side Character, news reporter
    Matt Horner - Side Character
    Tychus Findley * - Some marine on the Hyperion
    Mojo - Enslavers campaign
    Ulzeraj - Enslavers campaign

    Former Characters:
    Fenix - Leader of Protoss forces
    Edmund Duke - General of the Dominion
    Tassadar - The Judicator
    Rasazgal * - Matriarch of the Dark Templar.
    The Overmind - The master of the Swarm
    Zasz - Cerebrate of the Swarm
    Gerard DuGalle - Admiral of the UED Expeditionary Fleet
    Alexi Stukov - Vice-Admiral of the UED Expeditionary Fleet.

    Of these, Arcturus WILL probably be killed. It is time for the next generation.
    I hope Fenix COMES BACK!!! YAY!! He is one of the more heroic heroes.
    Tassadar may or may not make a reappearance considering he drew from both Dark Templar and High Templar energies and merged with the Overmind to destroy both of them.
    Jim, Kerrigan, Zeratul and Arcturus might make an alliance in order to stop Duran.
    Zeratul or Artanis will likely die. In EVERY SC game EVER released, a Protoss hero dies. These two value honor and one of them will likely sacrifice themselves, most likely to save or to kill Kerrigan. Even she said that she wants to be human again at times. There is probably something Xel'Naga that can make her human again
    Also, Duran MAY or MAY NOT be the enemy. Maybe everyone allis to stop the ones who destroyed the Xel'Naga and turned the Zerg on them.

    *Spelt wrong, possibly.

    Move Daggoth to the list of former characters. All cerebrates are dead.
    Jimmy's 2nd in command's name is Matt Horner.

    And zeratul's no leader of no protoss. He's just a renowned Dt. Raszagal was the leader of the Toss on shakuras, now that she's dead, they all trust Zera, but I would think Artanis to be more like the leader of the toss.

    I thought Daggoth DIDN'T die. In the story, I only recall Zasz being killed.

    Link? I'll try the Starcraft Wiki.

    Jim Raynor - Main Character, leader of Raynor's Raiders

    Keeps a chunk of the former Dominion safe from the zerg.

    Sarah Kerrigan - Main Character, Queen of Blades and leader of the Swarm

    Dunno yet. I suspect she either gets defeated by the hybrids and xel'naga, or has to team up with the protoss to defeat them. Expect either her to backstab again or for her not to, but be attacked out of fear or her backstabbing.

    Zeratul - Main Character, leader of the Protoss

    He's not the leader of the protoss! Anyway, he ferrets out the xel'naga/hybrid threat, but is disliked on Shakuras due to vanishing for four years.

    Artanis - Main/Side Character, Praetor

    The actual leader of the protoss, though not the main character. Has to keep the protoss together, a task made more difficult by multiple factions. Goes Twilight Templar FTW.

    Arcturus Mengsk II - Side Character, leader of the Dominion

    He's just Arcturus Mengsk (his father was Angus). Goes into hiding form Kerrigan. Plays a role in brokering alien artifacts which Zeratul and Raynor want to collect.

    Valerian Mengsk - Side Character. heir of Arcturus

    Takes over Dominion now that Arcturus has vanished. Of course, there's only a small chunk of Dominion left. Actually works with Raynor, at least for a time. Doesn't want to give artifacts up.

    Some UED Leader - Side Character

    Offers technology to the K-Sector when threat breaks out. (I assume you are talking about UED remnants and not Alexei Stukov.)

    Daggoth - Side Character, Cerebrate of the Swarm

    Dead. (Confirmed by Chris Metzen in an interview. Well, virtually confirmed.)

    Samir Duran - Main/Side character, tool of the Xel'Naga

    Successfully activated hybrids.

    Nova - Main/Side Character, Ghost

    Little relevance to current storyline, put her in a mini-campaign.

    James Liberty * - Side Character, news reporter

    Michael Liberty. Gives anti-Arcturus Mengsk propaganda and helps rally people to Raynor's side when things go south.

    Matt Horner - Side Character

    Depends on player actions. (Raynor can go "grey" or good. Horner supports good.)

    Marcus Findley * - Some marine on the Hyperion

    Tychus Findlay. May be a tool of the Dominion, or just Valerian Mengsk. (Very vague hints.)

    Mojo - Enslavers campaign

    Ulzeraj - Enslavers campaign

    Tool of Samir Duran. (Vaguely hinted at in Shadow Hunters. Very vaguely.) Unleashes a revolt on Shakuras (and has to face off against Selendis, who turns out to be intolerant). Needless to say, this happens at the worst moment (protoss need to unify to face hybrid threat).

    Selendis - second-in-command of the protoss.

    Leads expedition to Aiur, turns out to be a Templar purist and hates Dark Templar.

    Taldarin - second-tier character who appeared in Resurrection IV. He knew Adun and thus could know something important from long ago. However, I doubt Adun knew anything about the xel'naga beyond what was common knowledge among the protoss.

    Former Characters:
    Tassadar - The Judicator

    He was a Templar. Very dead.

    Rasazgal * - Matriarch of the Dark Templar.

    Dead.

    Alexi Stukov - Vice-Admiral of the UED Expeditionary Fleet.

    Dead, then resurrected. He could give Raynor some last minute aid, but grudgingly.

    I know they are dead. That is why I said "Former Characters".

    Dude, I really hope Liberty makes an appearance.

    I liked him so much in the novel.

    I really hope that the name for the Terran segment of Starcraft 2 is really that obvious about Mike... but I doubt it'll actually be name just after him.

    So I'm doubtful again, damn.

    I'd just like to know where Liberty is hiding out.

    Aaron Rosenberg was supposed to write a new StarCraft novel (a sequel to Queen of Blades, so presumably covering Episode III) and Liberty could appear there, even if briefly. (I hope that novel, if it ever turns up, is better quality than QoB.)

    I wonder how they will make the heroes act in the campaign. maybe they'll make it similar to those in WC}I{ or something like that.

    ...And unique abilities, to add to Rojo's post. But yeah, I don't expect leveling and items.
