Palinchron Concordance - Heroes
Lance Bader
Male Terran, age 39
Captain of UED Strike Team Gamma
After the defeat and retreat of Gerard DuGalle, UED Strike Team Gamma, led by
Wraith pilot extraordinaire Lance Bader, was left on Korhal as a method of
assuring UED presence would live on in the Koprulu Sector. Despite his
unarguable piloting skill, Bader makes for a weak leader. Having been born
into one of the wealthiest families in the United States, he most often uses
his immense riches to get what he wants. He is notorious for taking credit
from others. He rarely does what he can not get someone else to do for him.
His tactics are questionable. Yet despite Bader's relative incompetence, his
army is one of the most efficient and deadly in the UED, solely because
exceptional work from his soldiers is rewarded with ludicrously high
salaries.
Roland Weinkopf
Male Terran, age 37
UED Marshall
Roland Weinkopf, a native of Vienna, Austria, was a long-time friend of Lance
Bader, and some would say the one responsible for putting Bader in a position
of power. Weinkopf is the consummate soldier, killing without pity, remorse,
or fear. Yet Weinkopf is kept in his low rank because Bader secretly views
him as a threat. Weinkopf has all of the skills for military leadership -
such as tactical expertise, indomitable courage, and, to a lesser extent,
physical strength - that Bader lacks, and Bader knows it.
Mawcor
Zerg Ultralisk, age 4
Zerg Heavy Assault Warrior
The first attempt by Jerec DiSalvo to create a Zerg/Protoss Hybrid was viewed
as a failure. The Hybrid's Zerg DNA dominated over its Protoss DNA,
resulting in a Zerg with Protoss-level intelligence. But despite the fact
that the result was not what DiSalvo wanted, the Hybrid proved to have
strength far surpassing any normal Zerg, as well as a strong sense of loyalty
to its creator. DiSalvo dubbed the creature Mawcor, and instituted it into
the Palinchron Concordance as a frontline warrior. Mawcor's first assignment
was to take a Psi Emitter from the Terran colony of New Bangor, and Mawcor
completed his mission successfully...though he made a bitter enemy, Kyle
Richter, in the process. Mawcor obeys most orders, but he simply will not
follow any command that would compromise his honor - a tendency which no
doubt stems from his Protoss DNA. For example, Mawcor has an intense
distaste for uneven battles, and he will never kill an unarmed opponent.
Kyle Richter
Male Terran, age 28
Second-in-Command of the New Bangor Colonial Militia
To say Kyle Richter had a sheltered childhood would be a gross
understatement. Having discovered his telepathic abilities as a young boy,
he was taken from his home in Chicago and into the Ghost program at the age
of five. His life up to his involuntary enrollment in the UED was virtually
devoid of human contact, meaning his people skills are lacking, to say the
least. Despite his perpetually angry disposition, the level of anger he
suppresses is staggering. He finds no redeeming quality in combat except for
the fact that, through killing, he can vent his rage. And his rage worked to
his advantage - his effectiveness in killing eventually got him promoted to
the rank of Lieutenant. After the UED attack on Tarsonis, the colony of New
Bangor was established to provide a safe haven for UED civilians, and Richter
was appointed as second-in-command of the colony's militia, behind First
Lieutenant Michael Drogen. While there, the only person Richter viewed as a
friend was Humberto Gutierrez, a young marine who had endured a similarly
tumultuous childhood. But after Lieutenant Drogen happened upon the same Psi
Emitter which Jerec DiSalvo was after, Gutierrez met his death at the hands -
so to speak - of Mawcor, who DiSalvo assigned to steal the Emitter. After
that, Richter was pushed to the edge. His only purpose in life now is to
find and slaughter Mawcor, yet, despite a long hunt that has spanned every
planet in the Koprulu Sector, he has not yet succeeded.
Corellis
Protoss Dragoon, age 348
Dark Templar Prelate
Corellis is the loyal and yet completely depraved servant and bodyguard of
Dark Templar Uromastyx, and is willing to fight to the death to fulfill his
master's demands. And as fate would have it, Corellis did nearly meet his
death while trying to cover the escape of the traitorous Uromastyx from
enraged Dark Templar. But he was later revitalized as an even deadlier
Dragoon. Unlike typical Dragoons, Corellis uses the intense power of his
mind to focus psi into a projectile weapon, which is discharged through his
Dragoon body's Phase Disruptor. Like Mawcor, Corellis has a code of honor,
but he never lets it get in the way of serving Uromastyx. Corellis has no
compunction about fighting uneven battles unless it is a battle in which he
is at a disadvantage...in which case he will insult the honor of his
opponents bitterly until they are goaded into fighting fair.
Jennifer Anderson
Female Terran, age 28
Ghost Savant
Jennifer Anderson was born in Chau Sara before its destruction. She was born
mute, but that disadvantage was more than compensated for by the telepathic
powers she was blessed with, powers of a magnitude that no other Terran
Ghost, not even Sarah Kerrigan, has matched. Anderson's powers caught the
attention of Jerec DiSalvo, who kidnapped her from the Ghost program shortly
after the full extent of her powers had been realized. With the help of Dark
Archons controlled by Uromastyx, DiSalvo took control of Anderson's mind,
making her into little more than an emotionless drone, and performed numerous
genetic experiments upon her as he tried to create a new type of Hybrid...one
combining elements from the strongest strains of Terran, Protoss and Zerg.
As a result, Anderson's body is full of latent Zerg and Protoss DNA, which,
upon becoming active, will cause her to metamorphose into a form that DiSalvo
hopes will make her the first of the new, invincible race he strives to
create. But when the metamorphosis will happen still remains to be seen.
Uromastyx
Protoss Dark Templar, age 477
Keeper of the Fleet of the Patriarch
After the exile of Zeratul and Arzakon's rise to power as ruler of Shakuras,
Dark Templar Prelate Uromastyx was the first to pledge his loyalty to the new
Patriarch. He gained Arzakon's favor, and was given the task of commanding
the great Fleet of the Patriarch. But little did anyone suspect that
Uromastyx was utterly corrupt, and that his only love was power. Uromastyx
bent the entire Fleet of the Patriarch to his will with Dark Archons, and
formed his own renegade Dark Templar faction, proclaiming himself Patriarch.
Jerec DiSalvo came to Uromastyx upon hearing of his lust for control, and
promised him that unimaginable power would be his if he were willing to form
an alliance. Uromastyx agreed, and the two formed the basis for what would
later be called the Palinchron Concordance. Though Uromastyx respects the
command of DiSalvo, it is only a guise. Uromastyx has secret machinations to
assassinate DiSalvo and take over the Concordance, claiming DiSalvo's entire
Zerg army as his own in the process.
Jerec DiSalvo
Male Terran/Zerg Hybrid, age 34
Commander of the Palinchron Concordance
Jerec DiSalvo was once a little-known Terran Ghost with tremendous plans who
allowed himself to be infested by the Zerg so that he could learn what made
them tick. As the first part of his ultimate plan for subjugation of the
galaxy, DiSalvo took DNA samples from Cerebrate Zasz and the remains of one
of his Drones shortly after the Cerebrate's death. He then cloned his own,
fiercely loyal Cerebrate and named it Vorge, and cloned a few Drones to start
his own personal hive cluster. In only days he had hive clusters scattered
across the Koprulu Sector, and with the Psi Emitter he had Mawcor steal from
New Bangor, he was able to summon forth and conquer other Broods, bringing
them under his control. Around that time DiSalvo learned of Samir Duran and
his experiments with Zerg/Protoss Hybrids. DiSalvo became fascinated with
Duran's work, and decided to start creating his own Hybrid race in order to
assure success when his ultimate plan went into motion. DiSalvo then
strengthened his armies two-fold by joining up with Uromastyx and his Protoss
fleet. When DiSalvo feels he has attained success with his Hybrid race, he
plans to destroy Sarah Kerrigan, who is the first in a chain of targets that,
if assassinated, would ultimately make DiSalvo ruler of the Koprulu Sector.
And he has the intelligence, the tactical mastery, the power, and the army to
do so...
Mezidar
Protoss Dragoon, age 443
Dark Templar Prelate
Mezidar took over as Arzakon's second-in-command after Uromastyx became a
traitor. Mezidar was well-liked by Arzakon and his fellow Dark Templar;
the immense psionic powers Mezidar wielded, combined with his agility,
ferocity, and cunning, made him an extraordinary bodyguard. But as it so
happened, Mezidar was in the wrong place during an attack by Mawcor upon the
main Dark Templar fortress in Ni Monn Tassadar. When Mezidar entered the
fray, he took heavy damage and would have been lost forever had it not been
for the timely arrival of Kyle Richter, who, with deft use of cloaking, drove
Mawcor away. After Mezidar was restored as a Dragoon, he pledged that some
day he would make it up to Richter, but Richter ignored Mezidar and continued
hunting for Mawcor. To this day, however, Mezidar's pledge still stands...
