Your Samir Duran Theories here

UED is not russians alone it is a United Earth force

 

I don't think there's any doubt he's an agent of the Xel'Naga in my opinion, unless Blizzard are planning on bringing in yet another race, superior to the Xel even? And I like the idea that the mind inside Duran is not his own, opens up a lot more theories!

 

mabey the overmind has manifested it self in him i know there are alot of gaps but think about it

 

True, but there's a lot of Russian accents riding around.

If you ever watched a show Firefly, everyone was Chinese, American, or Russian, because those are the three superpowers.

 

it is possible that duran is the overmind
"No, young Kerrigan couldn't of conprehend any of these projects. Although her development process has sped up my research"

Remember that the overmind's ultimate aspiration is to assimilate protoss into zerg's gene pool and become "perfect". And the overmind appointed Kerrigan as its "agent" because by studying the hybridization of terran-zerg......the overmind can speed up the protoss-zerg hybridization process....

 

It's a nice idea, but I thought the Overmind was completely annihilated?

 

Nay lad. There's a new Overmind.

 

The more and more i thhink about my overmind in him idea i like it more and more

 

If that's the case, then when, where and why did the Overmind infest him (or mind-control, whatever...)??? Wasn't the Overmind taken to Earth before he "joined" Kerrigan?

 

are you saying polish dont drink vodka?
???

 

blizzard said that there would only be 3 races, but maybe the hybrid will be like the burning legion in WC3

 

Maybe Duran was possesed by one of those light being things from The book Shadow of the Xel Naga?

 

No he wasn't taking to earth and their have been plenty of opportunities for him to put part of himself in a terran any time their is an infestation. The whole mar sara incedient tons of occasions.

 

DeGaulle is, in my understanding, French or some other west european roman country
Alexei (Aleksandar) Stukov is probably east european (polish, belarus, russian, ukraine etc etc)
And they sound funny beacuse american industry just loves to color the bad guys with foreign accents Xel'Naga wil probably sound arabic

I devouted a great deal of time trying to figure out how Duran fits int he story (have really boring classes on colledge )

The Xel'Naga were first got cripeled by the protoss attack and then brought on the brink of destruction by the zerg. The remaining Xel'Naga got (my english is bad, can tsay what i think ) separated in 2 groups, one wich wanted to go on with the great experiment and one wich had much darker thoughts - Knowing that the zerg and protoss stand for two forms of perfection (essence and form) none of them would prevail over the other, so they decided that a hybrid of the zerg and protos would be the perfect life form, combinig the purity of essence and the purity of form (am I getting boring here? ) and with that lifeform the would seek revenge upon ther failed experiments (zerg and protoss). The "good" group of Xel'Naga rebeled against such an idea. The 2 groups clashed and the good Xel'Naga managed to put the "evil" group in stasis (they could not kill their one kind), but payed the ultimate price - destroyed themselves in the proces (an neverending story...) So Samir Duran, while fighting on braxis (someone mentioned this part, good idea) descovered one such Xel'Naga stasis, the creature inside wich had unimaginable psionic powers possesed Duran and put in motion the plan to make revenge upon the zerg and protoss (lol, the end at last)

And thats how I think the story will be

 

Don't you think that the splitting of races in Starcraft has been done already? Templar/Dark Templar, anybody? And if they want revenge, then they're definitely in the wrong place.

The Protoss that destroyed the Xel'Naga fleet were brutes, and this was before Adun and the Khala, which changed the Protoss into the mighty, heroic race they are today.

The Zerg back then who destroyed the rest of the Xel were led by the Overmind, now they're led by Kerry.

The Terrans didn't even have a part in any of this.

So if the Hybrids were created for revenge, they have nobody to take it on. None of the races can identify themselves with what they were back then. It would be like having a guy killed for what his great-grandpa did last century.

 

If you actually think Xel'naga will show up i'm sorry but you gotta be wrong they wouldn't waste there time with such weak races. Since all they lost was a science team i don't think they care enough to show up.

 

Science team??? The Zerg decimated EVERYBODY!!!

"The Overmind, however, was plotting to destroy its creators and spread across the galaxy. A surprise attack was launched against the Xel'Naga, wiping out most of the race's Worldships and the greater whole of the Xel'Naga in the first waves. The ancient ones who survived fled Zerus, and may have fled known space. Their location and survival rate is unknown."

Dude, if they show their faces, somebody's ass is gonna get kicked. I mean some race's ass. ;D

 

Is Duran one of the Xel'Naga, or something more.... ???

 

We don't really know. Given the amount of information we have, all we could say is that he's a traitorous Terran with a chorused voice and hidden knowledge.

But, luckily, we have this thread to theorize. Oh, happy day!

 

In Soviet Russia, vodka drinks YOU!!





ANYway, he's totally waaaay more than he seems. The Overmind theory is plausible, as is the agent of a higher power (AKA, Xel'Naga). However.....Something that irks me. In the end of Brood Wars, Kerry loses her psionic link with him. I think she could forcibly keep it if it was a creature so in tune with psionic, such as the Overmind.

I think that's going to be the big moment in SCII, when we find out who he really is.....
