Rosemary Dahl

Rosemary Dahl (usually known as R. M. Dahl) is a cold-hearted mercenary who works for Valerian Mengsk. She is about twenty-five years old and is very beautiful, with blue eyes and long blue-blakc hair. She is also very small but hard-muscled; her appearance has fooled several opponents into a sense of complacency about her abilities.

Dahl is also extremely intelligent, and is a "jack of all trades". She has demonstrated competence in pistols, shotguns, gauss rifles, unarmed combat, communications technology, piloting, deception, medicine, command, tactics, card games and even warp-jump navigation. Her favorite weapon is an AGR-14 Gauss rifle.

History
Dahl used to be a Marine and mercenary; during her tours of duty became addicted to stims.

On the world of Dead Man's Rock she met another mercenary, Ethan Stewart, who helped her break her addiction to stims (but was unable to wean her off of cigarettes). Stewart employed her for a time, and eventually they became partners and lovers. Dahl trusts Stewart implicitly and believes he is the only one she can trust.

Dahl was introduced in StarCraft: The Dark Templar Saga: Firstborn. She and a small team of Marines were attached Jake Ramsey's archaeological expedition to the artifact discovered on the airless world of Nemaka. She and Ramsey took an instant dislike to each other; indeed, she didn't seem to get along with anyone except the Marines. Dahl insisted on taking charge of emergency matters and had her mercenaries accompany Ramsey's team whenever they entered the artifact, despite Ramsey's objections.

Dahl accompanied Ramsey on his trips into the artifact (even when he tried to do so secretly) and dragged him to safety when a strange event shocked his mind. Ramsey had to be put under medical care.

Dahl secretly copied the medical doctor's report (stealing it from the computer to do so) and sent her own report to her employer, Valerian Mengsk, dodging any attmept to detect the outgoing transmission.
