Zamara

Zamara is a Protoss Preserver, a profession open only to those few Protoss who have the ability to preserve the memories of all members of their species. She holds an extremely dangerous secret.

Zamara is tall and purple-skinned and wears robes of white and lavender. She possesses the long psionic appendages of a Protoss who follows the Khala, but professes no hatred of the Dark Templar.

Nemaka
Zamara was piloting a small spacecraft near the lifeless world of Nemaka when she was attacked in space. She crashed into the Xel'Naga Temple located on the planet. Wounded in the crash, she found that her wounds "refused to seal".

She lay in the Temple for several years, during which she painted a message in blood near a hidden door then sealed herself inside. There she created a "time bubble" of some kind, which greatly slowed down the rate of time within, enabling her to survive long enough for someone to enter the Temple so she could pass on her secret.

After Zamara's descent, various teams of Terran archaeologists, dispatched by the heir to the Terran Dominion throne, Valerian Mengsk, visited the Temple in an attempt to learn its secrets. They all felt uneasy, as Zamara was attempting to contact them telepathically, but only the fourth expedition (led by Jake Ramsey) was able to overcome the door's puzzle and locate her.

Ramsey and his companion, a mercenary named Rosemary Dahl, discovered her in a time bubble. They had reason to believe that a dead Protoss lay in the chamber (due to the dried blood they had discovered earlier) so they were surprised to find she was still alive. She used a strange psionic technique to effectively transfer her essence into the brain of Jake Ramsey and "shut off" the time bubble. Her body quickly died, but she was still alive within Ramsey's mind. Ramsey was initially unable to deal with Zamara's presence, and fell unconscious due to the flood of memories.

Spirit Adivisor
Ramsey's medical diagnosis showed that he hadn't been attacked; rather, his brain was changing, especially in areas related to memories, emotion and other areas that were barely understood by science. During this time, Ramsey was nearly comatose, reliving memories of the Aeon of Strife that Zamara was allowing him to relive. Eventually Ramsey woke up and discovered, to his own surprise, that he could now read minds. He realized that Dahl and her mercenaries were going to betray him, so they imprisoned him and the rest of the civilians.

When Ramsey was left alone for a short time, Zamara "revealed" herself to Ramsey. After convincing Ramsey that he wasn't "going insane" or "hearing things"... She was unhappy that she had been discovered by a Terran, especially a non-psychic one. She would rather deliver her information to the Protoss. She told Ramsey that she wouldn't allow anyone, not even Ramsey, to interfere in her mission to relay her secret.

Zamara's Secret
Zamara has yet to reveal her secret, though it appears to involve the Xel'Naga and possibly the discovery of the Khala. She cannot directly tell Jake Ramsey about it, but must instead relay it to him through memories.

Zamara believes the secret involved a pattern which has appeared over and over again and was about to appear yet again. The secret was described as "submerging and manifesting with a cold precision".
