    Actually I'd love to see Artanis OUT of a ship and just be able to display some mad ninja skillz or something. Cuz u'r right, a scout was pretty lame. That's like... the anus of the protoss fleet, lol. Alright, anyway, I think there's a chance that we haven't grown too attached to him BECAUSE of the fact that we never got to see him walking around and fighting hand to hand. Raynor had a couple of different roles in SC1, he was a marine, a vulture, as well as a battlecruiser. So it might be pretty sweet to see Artanis doin his DT thing and might even give him so bonuses for being a "young energy-bound" lad. Like, for unit stats compared to that of Zeratul, we could give him higher damage but less armor to reflect his rash bold aggressiveness or something. I think the kid's got potential to be loved.

    4 years actually.

    Aldaris was the Head Judicator...my avatar. He owuld brief you in Protoss missions. He was infested by Kerrigan to start an uprising back on Aiur against the teamed up Zeratul/Fenix/Razangal, but the rebellion was silenced, with Aldaris killed in the process.

    I think Zeratul's too old and frail to have any "coolness" factor associated with him. Artanis is young, with a cleaner look and a one heck of a matching voice; his only problem was being restricted to a Scout.

    By the way, I think this was in th lore panel from Blizzcon, but Artanis isn't a Praetor any more, he's a Hierarch, which is their top position.

    Im agree to you Lol, Artanis is not DEAD, but Juditicator Aldaris is the one who is dead right now,, some of the people always says that Artanis is already dead, but its not,, they are always confusing between Aldaris and Artanis,,, well in that case you have a sighn to remember Aldaris has an earing and Artanis has no clothes hehehe thats it..but i really hope that Aldaris is alived, uhmm, well i think this is impossible why because,, in the the Campaign in Starcraft Broodwar there is a mission there that we are going to kill Judicator Aldaris,, uhm infact in Starcraft two, as we can see before there is a new in the Protoss the first one we in the Demo,, i think he is the one who replaced Judicator Aldaris... :)

    Are you saying permacloak, 400 shield and 100 melee damage (might i mention that's the highest damage of ALL the non-suicide units?) isn't cool? :eek:

    well.. the Reaver can be upgraded to send out scarabs that deal 125 dmg. But if you look at the Scarabs as the suicide unit (bomb) that deals the 125 dmg then I agree with you :)

    Umm... Aldaris was never infested.
    In SC1, he sends you out to find and arrest tassadar, but once you find him, you team up with tass then go find Zeratul. Once they get back to Aiur, Fenix joins them in rebellion against the conclave.  After fighting for a while, tass surrenders, then gets rescued by you/raynor/fenix/zeratul.
    After Aiur falls, Aldaris joins you in fleeing to Shakuras, where you team with the DTs and kill some cerebrates, then Kerrigan allys herself with you.  He goes silent for a while after the alliance, which he was against, and comes back when he seceedes from the alliance. Defeated, he attempts to tell the executor a secret plot of kerrigan he discovered, when kerri comes in and kills him, then steals the matriarch.
    Later, when zeratul kills the overmind for kerrigan, he discovers that Razsagal(the matriarch) was infested. Not, Aldaris.

    I took my 'Infested Aldaris' information from Wikipedia, so I guess it wasn't very reliable. But it didn't say that Aldaris was infested, just, like controlled, or influenced, by Kerrigan.

    yes, dont rely on wiki. ever.

    and really, he died doing the right thing for the first time since he was introduced into the story. he might have gone about the wrong way of doing it, but he was still trying to do the right thing.  He found corruption at the top and a traitorus ally while all others were decieved, and did what he could to fix it.  Open rebellion might not have been the best idea, but who would have believed him had he not? He lived as a penny-pinching traditionalist b*tch, but he died a hero. I have always disliked aldaris, but because of his one action bravery and righteousness, he redeemed himself to the point where i still dislike him, but must respect him.

    also, its possible kerrigan knew that he would openly rebel, so she let him find out just to cause dissention in the ranks, then killing him before he could release more information than she wanted him to.

    In that case, she didn't do much, since there was so much dissention between the Khala and Dark Templar. I guess he is brave to some extent, but he's no Tassadar.

    yes, hes not a tassadar. i find tassadar to be one of greatest sacrifices in any book/movie/game i have ever encountered.
    What i really meant by Aldaris redeeming himself in my mind was because he changed. for the better. he was a pansy traditionalist that didnt want to get his hands dirty, and cared for nothing but the Conclave, but he died fighting to save his people.

    and yes, kerrigan wouldnt have to do much to spread more dissention, but i meant it more as she was the catalyst in the protoss breaking into rebellion.
