Yet, another hero from the past is about to revive for the second time

so the 'toss can talk to dead people through there living memories in thier archive, now that's strange. I could see the cerebrate's ability to reanimate a corpse, but thats a little far-fetched even for the 'toss.

 

I think that Stukov coming back is definitely a possibility, but where would he fit in? I mean, the UED is dead, the Dominion would probably execute him on sight for trying to takeover the Dominion. Kerrigan would have no use for him since he is a Terran, and Raynor would hate him because Stukov chased him through that warp gate.

The Overmind coming back would be hard to explain lore wise since since the cerebrates were all killed by Kerrigan so she could have full control of the broods. Or did she?

I hope Daggoth comes back. He was my favorite character even though he didn't do much. I've always envisioned Daggoth as coming back in SC2 and killing Kerrigan and then taking over the whole Zerg brood. And then Raynor kills Daggoth and says ,"That's for murdering my future wife." Yay, Raynor doesn't hate Kerrigan entirely!

 

When Stukov came back, he was associated with remnants of the Confederacy.

Raynor doesn't hate Stukov, in fact, Raynor was the one who rescued him!

 

Damn that Torrasque!

Yes. They are called Preservers. I'm not sure they can "contact" the dead, though, but they have all their memories, experiences, and emotions in an "archive" (Preservers mind.)

Wait.. What? Raynor kills a cerebrate? That probably won't be possible... I'm willing to bet something in StarCraft will grant them the ability to reincarnate (Kerrigan, Overmind, et cetera)

 

The archive isn't the preserver's mind. Templar can access some memories of previously deceased protoss at the Templar Archives; this was in the StarCraft manual.

Preservers can fully access the memories and knowledge, far beyond what a regular Templar can.

If there are any Cerebrates left alive, they can't reincarnate. Only an Overmind can reincarnate a Cerebrate. There's nothing to indicate Kerrigan could do that.

 

Hmm, i guess they could tactiful advice from the archive, but thats about it. Other then that, theres no purpose for it, in myopinion.

 

I think they learn about psionics there, rather than tactics, but I don't think the manual was that specific as to the types of knowledge they could gain.

Still, that's the place high templar learn psionic storm and such stuff.

 

@ Darktemplar_L: Daggoth is the Cerebrate who, with other alive cerebrates at that time, merged in the New Overmind on Char (the one tamed by the UED in BroodWar in Episode V). It was killed by Zeratul in Episode VI after Kerrigan kidnapped the Matriarch and blackmailed him(Zeratul)... so Daggoth is pretty much dead because no Cerebrates could reincarnate after killed by a DT.

 

Wouldn't it be interesting if Fenix came back as a hybrid? That would give the hybrid race a hero character with some established story already behind him!

 

Hahaha I'm jammin with Seyla's idea, and his awesome Megaman icon.

If there is any credibility to this description by IMDB, then it is fairly limited by the word "again" in that sentence. Fenix seems the most likely candidate, considering he is the only hero that was resurrected in pre-existing storyline that I know of, outside of Kerrigan's rebirth (but we all know she will be in the game. She better have some *****ing powers, too.)



Regarding speculations about cerebrate reincarnation, just think about the neural mechanics a bit. The Overmind could give life to a cerebrate again because they were splinters of its own consciousness, and maintained a constant (if subliminal, at times) telepathic link. Thus, all the Overmind had to do was scramble together enough Zerg flesh and reupload the cerebrate's consciousness into the new body. I've always explained the reasoning behind a Dark Templar's ability to kill a cerebrate as severing that telepathic link at the time of death.

That means, basically, the Overmind could create a new cerebrate, but the one that was killed is robbed of its opportunity to make one last upload of its current version to the Overmind before dying, losing all of its memory and experience.

If Kerrigan is capable of controlling cerebrates, it isn't only through force of intimidation - she has the same sort of psionic power the Overmind did. Assuming this logic, which is PURE speculation, Kerrigan should have the power to reincarnate cerebrates as long as they are killed by conventional methods.

Now.. on to the FenixXel'NagaMutantZergZealot uber badass hero that can burrow and teleport and uses psi-blades and has protoss shields to wtfpwn anything within a 500m radius of himself.
