The archon is a protoss heavy assault warrior formed by merging two high templar.[1] More recently the Nerazim have also learned the technique.[2]
Overview
Archons are beings of psionic power and rage, and their presence on the battlefield inspires much fear in their foes.[3] The creation of an archon is a serious affair[1] and is never made lightly,[3] for it requires the reluctant sacrifice of valuable Templars[1] for a short-term gain.[4] Archons radiate energy like stars and burn out when depleted. [5] The archon is, for the most part, a being of pure energy that hovers above ground by displacing gravity itself. Nonetheless, this embodiment of power has a nigh-intangible physical form with unmistakable protoss features; a remnant of the Templar who sacrificed their lives to bring it into being. Its purpose is to shape and anchor the psionic maelstrom, preventing the archon from burning out like a star as soon as the merging is complete.[3] The merging results in the loss of self for the Templar who create the archon, and those who do so are bequeathed great honor and a place in the templar archives.[1]
The loss of most of the psionic powers of the two merging templar is more than compensated for by the archon's formidable psychic gestalt. Archons can independently erect a resilient shield and direct psionic shockwaves.[5] Emotionally, archons are manifestations of pure rage,[6] though this may be "twisted" should the merging be in error.[7] Archons are much feared by their enemies,[2] and can wade through countless enemy troops.[6]
Originally, archons were formed through the merging of two high templar.[1] After the Brood War and the reunification of the protoss, archons of a different kind can now be created by merging two Dark Templar or even a Khalai and Nerazim merging together.[2][8]
