Creating his own breed of Zerg imbued with Xel'Naga essence, Abathur staged an silent uprising against Zagara during a peace talk with the Dominion and Daelaam with the hope of igniting hostilities between the three races and destroying the adostra, the Xel'Naga creatures Abathur saw as an abomination. This however enraged Abathur, who saw the creatures they were creating as non-Zerg, and saw peace as contradictory to the Swarm's purpose.
During its time on Char, the detached, meticulous Abathur modified any Zerg it stumbled across, and grew fixated on diversifying the Swarm in the service of the new Queen of the Zerg, Kerrigan.ĭuring the Second Great War, Abathur once again aided Kerrigan after her deinfestation by a Xel'Naga artifact, perfecting her Swarm as she rebuilt it for a final confrontation with her nemesis, the Terran Dominion emperor Arcturus Mengsk, and continuing to serve her for the following years.Īfter Kerrigan's ascension to Xel'Naga, Broodmother Zagara was given control of the Swarm, and had Abathur use Xel'Naga essence gifted by Kerrigan to help regrow life in the sector as a means to negotiate peace in the war's aftermath. It was Abathur who designed the Queen of Blades, Sarah Kerrigan, as a deadly psionic agent of the Swarm.Ībathur’s methods are far from the only means of evolving the Swarm, but the creature has refined them over the years following the death of the original Zerg Overmind. Left to its own devices, Abathur’s approach to evolving the Zerg Swarm is unorthodox: consuming living tissue, and dissolving it into genetic components able to be quickly reassembled. and change it utterly in the attempt.Ībathur is an old organism, long serving as an “evolution master” – a guiding hand spinning the strands of Zerg DNA into mutations of existing Zerg and entirely new strains. It undertakes each experiment as though the survival of the species depended on it alone, and tolerates no evolutionary backstep. As much as a hive creature can, Abathur sees itself as personally responsible for the continuation of the Zerg. If the Overmind has been the force behind this directive, the being known as Abathur was born as the instrument of its will. From their conception, the Zerg have been driven to pursue the perfection of their race through merciless, predatory evolution.
