Artanis

==Summary==
Artanis is a Protoss warrior and residing Heirarch of the Templar. He was originally a High Templar and scout pilot before rising to the rank of Praetor, Executor, and finally Heirarch due to his heroic actions, intelligence, and combat prowess.
As a Protoss, Artanis possesses vast psionic and physical abilities. The Protoss all wear power suits which enhance their physical abilities past already superhuman levels, enabling them to move extremely quickly, project psionic blades, be protected by forcefields, as well as better focus their psionic powers, such as energy projection and teleportation. Before his separation from the Khala, he was able to draw upon and feel the collective thoughts and emotions of all others connected to it, being able to access information from millions of minds at a time. After its corruption, however, he had to be separated from it via the severing of his nerve cords located on the back of his head in order to avoid corruption and possession by the dark entity Amon . Despite this separation, Artanis retained most of his powers.
Artanis is a proud warrior and excellent leader, able to command vast forces almost seamlessly as well as defeat powerful enemies on the battlefield. Contemplative yet fervent, Artanis will stop at nothing to defeat his enemies and protect and unite his people.
