"The protoss fight honorably, a templar's blade is as pure as his heart. But the colossus is a war machine with no function except to destroy. I believe it can destroy the zerg utterly. And what then? What of the ongoing tension between the dark templar and the Aiur protoss? Will we survive as the Daelaam, one united people? Or will a thousand years of fear and hatred continue to separate us? How dangerous will this weapon be with those emotions running rampant?"

Aldrion was a protoss high templar who was part of the exiles who made it to Shakuras, and was later charged with recovering one of the ancient colossi hidden by his people millennia before.

Biography

He and three subordinates, Telbrus, Darsiris, and Zoraya, were sent to an asteroid field in a dying star system by Executor Selendis; their goal was to find a vault where a colossus was safely hidden. They used a Nerazim starship of unfamiliar type, and ran into a number of zerg. After a short battle, they landed on the target asteroid and proceeded to the vault. On the way, Aldrion had to deal with the emotional state of his second-in-command, the fellow templar Telbrus, who blamed the Dark Templar for keeping him from defending his brethren on Aiur.

In the end, Aldrion was able to convince Telbrus that the alliance with the Dark Templar was their only chance of survival, and that the colossi were a dangerous weapon that could turn out to be more dangerous than the foe it was used against. Shortly after this, Aldrion sacrificed himself in order to allow the rest of his team to save themselves and the recovered colossus from the approaching zerg.
