Great War and Brood War

Under the Overmind
"Must evolve. Swarm not good enough. Not."
- Abathur(src)

Abathur

Abathur was created by the Overmind as a "brood of one", spun from many species.[3]
[4] While it was the Overmind that was the will of the zerg's drive to become
perfect, it was Abathur who was the instrument of its will.[5]

By the Overmind's instruction he designed the Queen of Blades by wrapping her in a

chrysalis, though not without injuring her in the process.[3][6]

The following section contains information from a previous version of Heart of the
Swarm which is no longer valid.
After the Overmind's death, Abathur became feral and purposeless. He wandered under
Char, eating whatever tried to attack him.[7]

The Queen of Blades

"What did you do after the Overmind died?"
"Wandered the tunnels of Char, without purpose. Feral. Queen of Blades found me.
Made me zerg again."
"You aren't zerg unless you are under someone's control?"
"Without overriding will, am beast. Less."
- Kerrigan and Abathur(src)

As Abathur wandered Char without a master, he modified any zerg he came across, and
grew fixated on diversifying the Swarm.[5] The Queen of Blades retrieved him and
took him under her command.[3][4] He was responsible for the development of new
queens, removing their ability to fly in order to improve their abilities to care
of the hive.[8] Kerrigan also gave him terrans to experiment on.[3][9]

Second Great War

With the de-infestation of the Queen at Char during the Second Great War, the Swarm
fragmented, as the broodmothers vied for control.[10] He was too strong for
Broodmother Zagara to take control of him.[3][4] At the time of fragmentation, he
was aboard a leviathan.[3]

Retrieval by Kerrigan
"Abathur. Evolve Swarm, spin strands and sequences. Served Overmind, then served
Queen of Blades. Now serve you."
- Abathur after being approached by Kerrigan(src)

Abathur and Kerrigan reunite

Kerrigan, now following her own agenda, found Abathur aboard a leviathan. To her
frustration, Abathur seemed to consider her and the Queen of Blades as separate
entities. In Abathur's view, the Queen of Blades had carried ancient zerg
qualities, with only minor terran influence. Kerrigan as she was now, was
"infected" with more terran matter. He offered to 'improve' Kerrigan but she
refused. She was, however, willing to let Abathur evolve the Swarm. She was
suffering from memory loss, and could not recall her background with the creature.

Abathur obliged. While Kerrigan was out on missions, Abathur experimented on zerg
and searched for worlds where he could derive strains from existing breeds. When
readied, he showed these to Kerrigan through demonstrations, and evolved the
appropriate strain chosen by her.[11] Kerrigan eventually learnt the truth of what
Abathur had done to her after her infestation at Tarsonis. She told him that she'd
have killed him if he wasn't vital to her plans. Abathur was puzzled by her anger.
[3]

The New Queen

"Different. Examining genetic strands. Queen of Blades was efficient, ancient zerg
qualities. Minor terran influence. You, infected with more terran matter."
- Abathur 'examines' Kerrigan(src)

The following section contains timeline information which isn't necessarily in

chronological order.
Kaldir

Abathur

Kerrigan brought her Swarm to the icy moon of Kaldir. Abathur commented that the
zerg were suffering due to the moon's extreme cold, with temperatures as low as
that of deep space. He explained that apart from the leviathan and Mutalisks, there
was no need to have driven the Swarm to adapt to such cold temperatures beforehand.
He informed Kerrigan that he would look for local fauna, to assimilate their
essence to allow the zerg to better cope with the conditions.[3][12] He recommended
that the Swarm absorb ursadon matriarch essence to achieve this end.[13]

In the conflict that resulted against the protoss forces present on the moon, a
prisoner was taken at Abathur's request. He wanted to dissect her, even though
protoss genetic material was useless to the Swarm. Instead, Kerrigan kept the
protoss as a prisoner.[14][15]

In the subsequent battle, Abathur was able to reconstruct the hydralisk. He

recommended that Kerrigan's forces retrieve biomass the protoss had stored.[16] The
protoss forces on the ground were defeated, but they still had a spaceworthy vessel
that they intended to escape to Shakuras. By implanting the prisoner with a
parasite and letting the protoss teleport her away, Kerrigan was able to use the
parasite (which turned into a queen) to cripple the protoss ship from the inside.
[17] Abathur was impressed with Kerrigan's lateral thinking, but did not know the
parasite's origins. Kerrigan revealed that she had created it herself, that Abathur
wasn't the only one able to spin sequences. Taking in the "revelation," Abathur
continued his work.[3][18]

Char
On Char, Dominion and Swarm forces were vying for control of the planet, led by
General Horace Warfield and Broodmother Zagara respectively. Kerrigan brought
Zagara into the fold[19] and sent her to Abathur so that he could improve the
broodmother's cognitive abilities.[20][9] She also instructed Abathur to cease
experiments on terrans, something that he was glad to hear due to their lack of
biological worth to the Swarm.[3][19]

The Swarm moved on Warfield through the Bone Trench. Abathur advised her on the
location of valuable zerg biomass. The attack was successful, and the Dominion
forces retreated.[21]

The Swarm assaulted Warfield's compound. Zagara presented Kerrigan with some
aberrations to use in the battle. Abathur commented that their sequences were
"sloppy, yet, effective." They were put to good use, and the Dominion was driven
off Char.[22]

In the aftermath of Char, Abathur tested changes on Zagara's increased mental

faculties and independence on a broken-horned zergling that Kerrigan had grown
attached to. The zergling began to display the ability to defy Kerrigan's orders
without increased will forced upon it. Kerrigan regularly confronted Abathur
regarding its increased independence, to which he would tell her that it was what
she had desired. After one confrontation, the zergling felt Kerrigan's anger, and
without her order attacked Abathur, leaving a massive gash in his carapace.
Kerrigan broke up the fight before Abathur could kill the broken-horned zergling,
and ordered Abathur away.[23]

Zerus
"Primal zerg. Unacceptable. Must be wiped clean. No trace left. Destroy primal
zerg."
"What are you talking about?"
"Saw ranged primal zerg creatures on battlefield!? Based on hydralisk! Primal zerg
stole design from Swarm! Swarm on planet for hours, days, already being
replicated!"
"Abathur, are you upset?"
"Unacceptable! Swarm's power, ability to assimilate strengths. Primal zerg must not
take from us!"
"Don't worry about it. They'll be on our side before I am done here."
- Abathur and Kerrigan discussing the primal zerg(src)

Kerrigan took the Swarm to Zerus, the homeworld of the zerg. There, they
encountered the primal zerg, those who had escaped control of the Overmind. Abathur
had mixed feelings about them, but reasoned that there might be some good essence
to take from them.[3][24] In the battle that followed, Abathur provided Kerrigan
with newly reconstituted mutalisks to use against their foes' primal guardians. He
also directed her to primal essence pools, and recommended the destruction of the
primal hive.[25]

After the battle, Abathur's view on the primal zerg soured. They'd adapted Swarm
essence into their own physiology within hours, days at the most. He wanted to
destroy them, but Kerrigan reassured him that they'd be brought into the fold.[3]
[26] On that note, Abathur presented her with his latest creation, the swarm host.
They were used to defend Kerrigan from the primals as she entered the first
spawning pool. The defensive action was successful, and Kerrigan emerged, now the
Primal Queen of Blades.[27]

Kerrigan returned to the leviathan. Abathur noted that Kerrigan's genetic strands
had been restructured from the base up. She was stronger than the old Queen of
Blades, and her sequences were "clean," completely different at the core. He wanted
to take a sample, but Kerrigan refused, claiming that she was beyond his
comprehension. Abathur admitted she was correct - her new genetic structure was
beyond his understanding.[3][28]

As Kerrigan brought the primal pack leaders into the fold, he advised Kerrigan on
her new abilities, and pointed out the existence of xel'naga relics, which housed
genetic information. True to her word, through the defeat of the pack leaders,
Kerrigan brought the primal zerg into the Swarm.[29] Afterwards, Abathur suggested
that the Swarm never return to Zerus. It was their homeworld, and the path of
evolution was forward, not backwards. That, and he still preferred the Swarm zerg
to their primal counterparts.[3][30]

Moving on Mengsk
Kerrigan brought her forces on a bearing to Dominion Space, in order to dethrone
Emperor Arcturus Mengsk.[14]

The following section contains timeline information which isn't necessarily in

chronological order.
Skygeirr
At Skygeirr Platform, Kerrigan encountered Alexei Stukov, an infested terran who
sought the destruction of the facility, which was being used to breed protoss/zerg
hybrids. Kerrigan agreed.[31] Abathur found Stukov fascinating, but was disturbed
by the implications - the interweaving of zerg and terran matter within him was
subtle, on a scale not possible within the Swarm. He recommended that Kerrigan
bring the Swarm into the fold of this entity, as it was untennable to oppose them.
Kerrigan refused. That, and she suspected that Abathur was simply jealous.[3][31]
He later reflected that it was implausible that it was the terrans themselves who
possessed the required knowledge for this kind of genetic engineering.[32][3]
Regardless, the facility was destroyed, and the Swarm departed.[33][34][35]

Dominion Space
Kerrigan searched for the location of Jim Raynor, a terran she had a personal
connection to. He was being held captive by the Dominion. Abathur explained that
the zerg couldn't hack the Dominion's network due to zerg biology and terran
technology being incompatible.[3][36] Still, with the help of Raynor's forces, the
terran was rescued.[37][38]

Assault on Korhal
"Terran main hive. Distinct lack of essence diversity."
- Abathur's comments on Korhal.(src)

Opening Moves
Kerrigan moved on Korhal, but she needed a weapon to destroy its orbital defenses.
Abathur proposed modifying the virophage gene sequence into a new weapon. He
assured Kerrigan that he could develop it in time for the invasion.[3][39] The
result was the bile launcher, with the new structure being deployed through sacs.
On the ground, Kerrigan guarded the drop sites from Dominion forces, and a
beachhead was established.[40]

Ultralisks
Plot branch : Kerrigan evolves the ultralisk
While the assault was going on, Abathur directed Kerrigan to Metis, a research
laboratory where the Dominion was experimenting on ultralisks. Kerrigan was able to
take control of one of the creatures and overrun it from the inside. The Dominion
released a toxic compound, but it was incorporated into the ultralisks, producing
the noxious strain. Elsewhere, the Swarm moved against a supply center on the
outskirts of Augustgrad, one that possessed experimental nuclear missiles. The
nukes were fired, but mutated the attacking ultralisks into torrasques. The
facility was destroyed.[41]
Plot branch ends here
Final Moves
"You know, sometimes you're not so bad, Abathur."
"Unclear."
- Kerrigan complimenting Abathur(src)

Prior to Kerrigan's final assault on Mengsk's palace, Abathur complimented Kerrigan

as the Swarm's greatest leader. Taken aback, Kerrigan questioned Abathur's
reasoning, admitting that everything she'd done had been for her own personal gain.
Abathur reassured her, declaring that her reasons were irrelevant, as it was the
Swarm's purpose to serve its leader, regardless of that leader's goals.[3][42]

The End War

AlliedCommanders SC2-LotV Art1.jpg
This article or section contains information derived from Co-op Missions, and
should not be considered part of the official StarCraft storyline.

Abathur during the End War

Abathur commanded Zerg forces alongside fellow commanders during the End War.[43]

Post War
After Zagara's ascension to ruler of the Swarm, Abathur continued his work on
perfecting the Zerg Swarm, specifically focusing on manipulations in the roach and
ravager genomes.[44]

The One-Day War

"Swarm supreme. Swarm unique. Meant from very beginning. Will be again."
- Abathur(src)

Some time after the End War, under the direction of Zagara, now Overqueen of the
zerg, the Swarm retrieved samples of xel'naga essence from Ulnar. The samples were
unable to be spun directly into zerg broods due to being too advanced for zerg DNA,
but with the direction of the ascended Kerrigan, were spun into a native, peaceful
species independent of the swarm, creating the adostra. Zagara intended for the
adostra to seed planets with life using their xel'naga abilities, a new direction
for the Swarm.

However, Abathur despised the truce among races, as in his eyes war was necessary
to drive the Swarm's evolution and assimilation of other races. He secretly created
a second race using the xel'naga essence, the chitha, which were also independent
of the Swarm but could still be commanded and controlled with vocal commands.
Unable or unwilling to modify himself for advanced tactics and scheming, Abathur
instead modified a queen named Mukav to serve both as a conduit to communicate
orders to the chitha and serve as a mind who could plan his coup against Zagara,
and aid in the subterfuge that would spark conflict in the sector once again.

When Valerian Mengsk and Artanis came to Gystt to observe Zagara's work, Abathur
and Mukav directed the chitha to attack Valerian's surveying team sent to scout the
planet, both on their own and by commanding other zerg. The existence of the
creatures was unknown to Zagara, who denied involvement in the attacks. Abathur's
hope was that the attacks would ruin any chance of peace and spark another war. As
the situation spiraled out of control, Abathur was assigned by Zagara to contact
the Daelaam and Dominion to keep them appraised, a task Abathur secretly refused to
make the zerg's movements look more suspicious. However, after engaging his chitha
and their controlled broods in a conflict later known as the One-Day War, his
conspiracy was eventually discovered by the three parties and he revealed his
motives to Zagara. Abathur attacked Zagara and her allies with Mukav and several
chitha, but with the aid of protoss and terran warriors, his allies were all
eradicated, and Zagara subdued Abathur but kept him alive to serve the Swarm under
a closer watch, as the Swarm needed an evolution master to survive.[45]

Game Effect
StarCraft II
Abathur is available as an announcer for StarCraft II multiplayer.

Heart of the Swarm

"I will show you the future of the Swarm."
- Abathur(src)

In Heart of the Swarm, Abathur performs a role similar to what Rory Swann and Egon
Stetmann did in Wings of Liberty, upgrading and evolving zerg strains for better
use in game. However, it is different from the terran system, which required a
certain amount of credits collected after completed missions; instead, Abathur
demands essence, acquired from completing secondary objectives in-game, to perform
upgrades and evolutions.[7] In the release, evolving and upgrading zerg was at no
cost, although some missions would involve Abathur requiring essence for unit
upgrades or extra levels.

Heroes of the Storm

The following section contains information from Heroes of the Storm and is not

Abathur is a playable hero in Heroes of the Storm.[8]

Personality and Traits

"Super intelligent biologist, an evolutionary craftsman. Arrogant and impatient, he
wants to eat anything strange or different so that he can absorb and understand it.
He sees other beings in terms of their genetic material, not as sentient beings."
- Character description of Abathur(src)

Abathur

Abathur is well-mannered and is constantly connecting DNA, experimenting on strains

and studying the Swarm's enemies.[10] He does this by eating (parts of) creatures
and gaining access to their genetic code.[46] It is a process that he enjoys—even
though protoss essence is incompatible with the zerg, that doesn't stop him from
trying anyway.[14][15] Exactly how Abathur manipulates genetic codes isn't fully
understood by Dominion scientists. They have suspect that the central intelligence
(Abathur himself) behind these manipulations must exhibit nearly quantum-level
"big-data" processing abilities, far beyond terran capabilities.[47] As of 2511,
Abathur is the most ancient living zerg bioform.[45]

He dislikes being in space for extended periods due to the lack of bio-matter.[3]
[48]

Abathur accepts that true perfection is impossible for the zerg to achieve.
However, it makes sense on the tactical level for him for the zerg to continue
chasing perfection regardless.[49] He also believes it is "purpose" which makes the
zerg what they are. He states that without an overriding will, they are no more
than beasts, much like he was after the death of the Overmind. To this end, he is
grateful that the Swarm has a purpose, even if it is to fulfill Kerrigan's
vendetta.[3] As much as a hive creature can, Abathur sees himself as being
personally responsible for the continuation of the zerg. He undertakes each
experiment as though the survival of the species depends on it alone, and tolerates
no evolutionary backstep.[5]

Abathur

Abathur is unimpressed with terran essence and DNA,[49] along with their "primitive
structures" and minimal biological adaptability.[3][9] He considers them to be a
doomed species due to their lack of genetic diversity and proliferation of
recessive traits in their gene pool,[3][50] and was glad when Kerrigan stated that
they'd no longer experiment on them.[3][51] Similarly, he holds the primal zerg in
low regard, noting that though some displayed favorable traits, they were sloppy
and inefficient. He thought even less of them when he discovered they quickly
replicated some strains from the Swarm, prompting him to implore Kerrigan to wipe
them all out. An amused Kerrigan noted that Abathur sounded upset, indicating he
may hold some level of pride or possessiveness towards his "work."[3][26] Despite
his view on terrans he is fascinated by Alexei Stukov, whose modifications are on a
level Abathur himself is unable to achieve, and considers Stukov second only to
Kerrigan.[3][52]

Abathur's demeanor darkened after Kerrigan's ascension and Zagara becoming the
overqueen. He silently objected the peaceful intentions in her new direction for
the zerg, favoring the violent ruthless old ways of the Swarm even calling Zagara a
traitor. In Abathur's mind, war between the zerg and the other factions of the
Koprulu sector was necessary if not vital in evolving the Swarm. Peace was
stagnation and inefficient to the evolution master and therefore, he sought to
reignite the strife between zerg, terrans and protoss. In addition, he was
disgusted with the adostra in how they were made from xel'naga and zerg strains in
equal balance and of their purpose in restoring worlds as Abathur believed the zerg
should dominate and infest all other lifeforms.[45]

Abathur seems to be obsessed with efficiency. His goal is not to make the zerg
perfect, since perfection is impossible; instead, he tries to make them as
efficient as possible.[3] Outside of that, he points out to Kerrigan that killing a
creature before consuming its biomass, while it would be less painful for the
creature, is inefficient, since the creature's death is imminent.[3][14] He
considers himself to be the most useful part of the Swarm.[3][50] This may be more
than just his opinion, as despite his treachery towards Zagara during the One-Day
War, the Overqueen did not kill him as she knew the evolution master was too useful
to the zerg.

Abathur has an odd speech pattern, often leaving out conjoining words and ignoring
pronouns.[3] In a way, he speaks in the most efficient manner possible, befitting
his approach towards genetics. Like most zerg, Abathur does not communicate through
audible words, instead communicating through psionics. However, he has in the past
utilized psi-to-speech translators in order to carry out vocal communication.[45]

Notes
"If evolution product of design, is evolution...evolution? Hmm. Line of thought not
productive. Hmm."
- Abathur(src)

Abathur concept

Abathur is referred to as "it" on his hero page.[5] However, he is referred to by

masculine pronouns (e.g. "he") in Heart of the Swarm.
Abathur is one of Justin Parker's favorite characters in the setting.[53]
Abathur has been noted to be a popular character within the fanbase. Allen Dilling
has speculated that his popularity stems from his design, along with his
manipulative nature, that the fanbase tends to gravitate towards "evil" characters.
[54]
Development
The concept of Abathur was pitched by Samwise Didier. He wanted something "spidery
and spindly," with an "evil and diabolic" nature. His concept image involved
Abathur using webs and the like to view the genetic structure of a creature that it
was working on.[2]
At a panel at BlizzCon 2011, it was said that Abathur had his own storyline with
much going on with the character. By interacting with him across the campaign, a
subplot was said to be revealed that has its own climax.[55] In an earlier version
of Heart of the Swarm Kerrigan would let Abathur unknowingly spin the strands and
sequences of his own replacement. This successor would kill Abathur and take his
place, fulfilling the subplot and Kerrigan's revenge against the original Abathur.
[56]
In a preview, Abathur was hinted at having ulterior motives.[57] However, this did
not occur in-game.[58]
In early screenshots of Heart of the Swarm, Abathur was depicted as being present
in the nerve center of Kerrigan's leviathan.[59] In the final version, he remained
within the evolution pit.[58]
Map editor files include a duplicate Abathur actor named "Ssassan." The description
of the character implies this may have been Abathur's name in a previous version of
the game.[56]
