"Repent, and be forgiven, impudent, inferior beings!"
The mastermind behind the Iron Hand, the former Protoss Judicator Arestes survives... and has been busy.
Arestes was one of the surviving members of the original Conclave on Aiur, and has witnessed first-hand how incompetent his people have become. He no longer believes in the Protoss destiny, and seeks to replace them with a more perfect, worthy being to live in their place. The Terrans and Zerg are only ants waiting to be flushed out in the galaxy that belongs to him-- the one perfect being.
Rising to power hundreds of years ago Arestes became one of the members of the Conclave representing the Shelak Tribe. He was privy to the secrets of the Xel'Naga texts, and studied them at great lengths when his duties to the Conclave did not call. He learned of their many secrets, building in his mind the image of a perfect race. However, the Protoss were not it.
In these histories Arestes learned of another Elder Race... the Zeji Imperium that threatened to wipe out the other races in the galaxy. The Xel'Naga texts detailed a one-sided, observer's view to the Zeji conflict, and Arestes resolved to learn more about the ancient civilization that could cause so much destruction.
Arestes discovered the Zeji Cloning Cylinders in the process, as well as the ruins of the Zeji civilization. This ancient technology was integral in laying the foundation of the Iron Hand's army of superior clones, but little did he know at the time that he was being directed to these technologies through shadow agents. Arestes learned of their existance, and planned to turn the tables on the shadows....
Arestes prefers not to battle himself, and sends his minions to deal with any threats. However, despite this detest from battle Arestes has augmented himself with the recovered Zeji technology in order to make himself more than a match for the average Zealot.
Kabala. Arestes once believed Kabala his pawn in his bid for power, but Kabala proved to be cunning himself. Perhaps a bit too cunning....
Kuwadora. The Scantid Fleet greatly interests Arestes-- particularly the Black Dream. Although it is suicide to try and destroy it at this time, Arestes has an ace up his sleeve that could spell its doom....
