I dont believe Narud and Duran are the same one person. I think the coincidence was Blizzard's way of saying to the fans, that there is a pattern in the story.. that our SC Heroes are going around in circles via an outside force. The coincidence is that there a few catalyst moments in which without them, the story doesnt progress or evolve.

I dont believe the Dark Voice is a Xel'Naga. its possible, but it could be that he is of greater power. It is said that he devoured civilizations from within. With all the events surrounding the three games, I think its fair to say that all is fair game when it comes to speculation, but the Dark Voice seems to connect telepathically and control the pace of an accelerated Xel'Naga cycle to form the Hyrbid - a race which is meant to deal an absurd blow to the Koprulu Sector. It seems to be involving the elimination of all three races and any potential of the Xel'Naga emerging via the true cycle and assimilation of the Zerg and Protoss.

There are entire threads out there about Dark Voice, I suggest reading them before making incorrect speculation. He has been around far longer than the Protoss, and is not a Xel'Naga. He's a Void Entity.

Dark Origins =/= Dark Voice

Both have dark in it, Samir Duran is Dark skinned, and has a pretty Dark voice in Dark Origins.

/plot owned.

i guess Samir Duran is just a Dark Terran
we have Dark Protoss, why not dark terrans?

Just like Tosh.
And Dark Ghost is more accurate, like Dark Templar.
Though I guess we can go with the new word for it - Samir Duran was a Spectre.

Dark Voice is definitely not Tassadar. Duran was an agent of his, Narud was too, and whether they are the same man or the link of names is just because of the common "employer" is up in the air.

About Tassadar and Overmind, I've always though of the chance that they both are alive in some afterlife or Khala or whatever, and the Overmind is actually still pulling the strings somehow. Before SC2 and Dark Voice's appearance, I actually thought Duran could be an agent of the Overmind, and the hybrids part of its plan to integrate the protoss in the swarm, now that seems to be false. But we'll see...

I don't think it's Tassadar. If warcraft 3 has shown us anything, it's that Tassadar is Medievh. He's the one that transcended his normal existence, walked between realms, learning of the REAL danger beyond the veil, and has "never tasted death". ;;

Guys lets all just agree its Samir Duran.

Because hes speech in the secret starcraft mission to zeratul is creepy.

And sounds like the dark voice.

The only reason im even brining up Samir Duran is because the mission Dark Origins was the prelude to the starcraft 2 campaign.

That mission was made 12 years ago, and the SC2/Hybrid storyline plays a huge part into it.

Hell, the start of the zeratul missions are like right after Dark Origins in BW.

Now Samir Duran isnt physically the Dark Voice(face/eyes/etc..), but IS the Dark voice, basically an empty talking shell. Sorry if it sounds hard to understand.

Nope. Read the dark templar trilogy. Zeratul went away to a secluded planet and was depressed because he had killed Raszhagal. He only came back to his old self right before the sc2 campaign after he was needed to fend off an attack by the dark archon Ulrezaj (who was also a pawn of the dark voice).

I believe that the dark voice is one of the fallen xel'naga, which unleashed the zerg upon the others. The Zerg being simply his tools of destruction, easily expendable.
And he probably even made the zerg himself, using his own DNA to create a fast and adaptable race, instead of the bulky hybrid, which probably is pretty close to the Xel'naga themselves, but with an overmind(the dark voice)

When It comes to Duran, It's simply another of his pets, whom can walk among humans without being detected as zerg, simply an uber changeling.
I think It's Duran on the orders on behalf of the dark voice whom is the "man" behind the Piercing the shroud mission.. It's simply not something Mengsk would do, as the hybrid is something terrans can't really control.

As for the old overmind, he was like an lieutenant of the dark voice, whom was afraid of what would happend when the zerg killed all protoss and terrans. So the invasion of aiur was the overminds way of trying to escape the dark voice, which maybe can't go near Aiur for some reason?

Now the question is: No one has control of the zerg (probably kerrigan), will there be a new overmind to channel the orders of the dark voice into the zerg?

Anyone else see this? I only drew the connection to Karass because of the red eyes, but their armor is IDENTICAL, can't really say the same about facial structure though
It is possible that Blizzard simply became lazy and just re-used Karass's portrait model though...

Edit: oh wait, high templar has the same armor also,,,

Come on guys, let's take a step back.

Blizz doesn't even know how SC2 story would end. And we know how terrible WoL story was.

You guys are looking WAYY too into this.

It's not Tassadar or anyone we know. It's just a recycled portrait of High Templar. Blizz even recycled Nova & Kerrigan portraits FFS- one of the most important characters in the whole lore!

Well with that, we can safely say that it's possible that the Dark Voice isn't a hybrid at all. Someone was saying that the top of his head resembles a Hydralisk's, but so does Karass's.

..UNLESS.
