Tassadar

== Summary ==
Tassadar, savior of the Templar, was a Protoss High Templar and an Executor without equal. He led an expeditionary force into the Koprulu Sector and was mentor to the young Prelate Artanis, who soon grew to be the Hierarch of the entire Protoss.
Notable for his compassion to "lesser races", Tassadar chose to defy the orders of his superiors to fight the Zerg instead of sacrificing the Terrans in the crossfire. 
His learning the dark energies from Zeratul led to his completeness in which few Protoss have ever achieved. This, along with his befriending the Terran, Jim Raynor, as well as the Dark Templar, Zeratul led to his arrest, branding as a heretic and possibly, execution. Though, it is also by his actions that the Khalai Protoss and the Nezarim put aside their differences and unite against their common enemy, the Zerg.
The endgame showed Tassadar, upon being given the chance to strike directly, sacrificed himself by channeling the power of both the Khala and the Void, shedding his physical body and turning his entire ship, the Gantrithor, into a mass of energy, and rammed it at the Overmind, killing it finally. What followed was the Protoss regarding the Templar who they once branded as a heretic, into a being that embodies the best of them, and the Nezarim, branded he who united the light and dark for a time, as the second coming of the Anakh Su'n, the Twilight Messiah.

*Psionic Whip: A prodigy among High Templar, Tassadar can manifest psionic blades without the equipment necessary to do so, and extend it high into the sky, cutting apart airborn foes
