"En Taro Tassadar, Prelate Zeratul! I am High Templar Karass."

- Karass(src)

Karass was a protoss high templar. His mastery of psionic powers was considered legendary.[2]

Biography[]

On the eve of the Second Great War, Karass and his troops journeyed to Ulaan in pursuit of the Queen of Blades. There he met Dark Prelate Zeratul, who was seeking a prophecy. The praetor put himself at Zeratul's disposal and the pair broke through zerg patrols and found the prophecy Zeratul and Kerrigan sought. Kerrigan attacked the outnumbered protoss shortly afterwards.[3]

Plot branch : Karass survives to reach the last shrine.

Karass instructed Zeratul to escape with the information; the praetor and his troops proceeded to buy Zeratul time with their lives. The dark templar reluctantly withdrew aboard Void Seeker, and swore Karass' sacrifice would not be in vain.[3]
