Ever since the death of the Overmind the Zerg have divided into factions, the two largest being that of Kerrigan and that of Daggoth. Kerrigan commands support of the younger Cerebrates, while Daggoth commands the elders, in a clash of conservative vs. liberal. In the end Kerrigan won, and Daggoth and his followers were forced to flee into deep space. Their current base of operations lies on the ash world, Kodulas, a planet the Zerg conquered on their way to the Koprulu Sector from Zerus. Daggoth plans to retake Kerrigan's territory for his own, but first he must regroup his minions. In the meantime lesser Cerebrates and Zerg agents are working in the shadows in order to pave the way for the Swarm's return. While Daggoth is the supreme commander a ruling body of eight Cerebrates administer the day-to-day needs of the Zerg.
The oldest, most experienced, and most powerful
hunter of Nargil's brood, Xaax's tracking abilities
are legendary in the Swarm. Daggoth often borrows the
highly-intelligent Defiler's abilities for surgical
strikes. Though he must obey the every will of Nargil,
as the Cerebrates once did for the Overmind, Xaax
enjoys his job, and carries out every order with
deadly enthusiasm. Over the centuries he has developed
a strange sense of humor. After experiencing the erased
timeline created by renegade Cerebrate Zargil, Xaax
has learned to appreciate what the Protoss can offer,
and sees this as a means by which to advance his station
with the Cerebrates. He secretly resents the Cerebrate
masters, as they constantly belittle his importance and
treat him as expendable as the rest of the mindless
Swarm. Currently he marshals a small force of Zerg
from K'tulan's brood, otherwise known as the
Kraken Brood to Terrans.
Name: Chaladar
Type: High Templar
Weapon: Psi Assault
Allegience: Xaax Brood
Formerly a Judicator of a remote Protoss outpost,
Chaladar studied the forbidden texts of the Xel'Naga,
of which only the Shelak Tribe can touch (he is not of
their number). When the Conclave was destroyed on Aiur,
Chaladar did nothing to hide his glee, for he blames
them for sticking him in a backwater in the first place.
He was later captured by the Zerg, and had his body
manipulated by Cerebrate Zargil in order to serve his
every will. Chaladar used his knowledge to create a
new timeline, one which Zargil intended to use in order
to create a new destiny for the Swarm, but their plans
were twarted by the combined Protoss and Zerg armies.
Now that the rogue timeline has been erased, and Chaladar
rescued, this Judicator remains scarred by the Zerg,
and therefore he feels more comfortable among his
captors than his own people. Chaladar mainly retains
his former personality, and lives only to serve--
currently Xaax, for releasing him from Zargil's control.
Name: Zolgear
Type: Cerebrate
Weapon: None
Allegience: Medusa Brood
A renegade Cerebrate, Zolgear is a minor brood lord in
the scheme of things, serving as an agent under Daggoth.
Young and impetuous, Zolgear is highly impressionable and
a fool for words, so when it came time to decide which
faction he would side with Daggoth easily swayed him. In
effect, Zolgear is naive (for a Cerebrate), and trusts too
easily for his own good.
