The only female Protoss to rise to prominence within the male-dominant society of the Protoss in nigh a century, this Executor has proved her worth time and time again, even beyond the standards set for Dark Templar Prelates. However, she has a taste for vengeance that is and shall never be matched by any Protoss being, even the famed Aldaris, whose extremist values were the stuff of legerdemain in the annals of history. This vengeful streak can have disastrous effects, consuming the lives of those under her command as well as those of the enemy. Yet her unswavering loyalty, her brilliance, and her fierceness in battle have never failed her.
Yet, like every sentient being, Tormidal has her secrets, and ones darker than any living Protoss individual. That heart of flame belies a mysterious past, and many of her choices, such as her advice to Tassadar when he refrained from his burning of the Terran world of Chau Sara, and her mercy to the Zerg Queen Kerrigan on the rocky world of Char two years ago, suggest something peculiar.

Tormidal was the only survivor of a raid led by Lexis, as a distraction to the UED's move on Aiur and attempt to capture Mengsk and Raynor...while having to mow down the Protoss getting in their way. DuGalle has Lexis attack a nearby planet populated with Protoss, to ensure that Fenix's distress call wouldn't be answered in time to influence the outcome of the battle.
She loses everything, just because she happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. This plants a seed of hatred for all humans in her heart, and the fact that Raynor and Mengsk escaped is of little solace, for Mengsk is an enemy of the Protoss and she considers Raynor of little importance due to the inbred Protoss arrogance that is their worst trait.
Lexis, as the leader of the raid on Tormidal's home planet and as the personal killer of five of her family members, earns her special hate and wrath.
Zeratul long ago divined this secret, and has kept watch upon Tormidal ever since, suspicious of her intentions...and her horrid past.

Physical Features:
Tormidal's eyes are somewhat wider than the usual Protoss, and bluish purple. Her face is thin and long, like a horse's face. Her nerve appendages are long, yet tied in a long bundle and secured with bands, with the last foot and a half or so tied around her waist whenever she's not in combat. The last inch or so of each of the appendages have been severed, then the raw ends have been buffed to allow unimpeded psionic flow from her mind to her weapon, the recently invented Disruptor Rifle.
Her skin is smooth, as she is a young Protoss. She is gaunt, and while she is still much smaller weight-wise than the average male, she is quite large for a female. Her skin is a dark purplish blue, and her hands are uncommonly large and thick.
