Sarah Kerrigan was a Terran Ghost before being captured by the Zerg on Tarsonis. Corrupted by the Overmind, she became his most feared agent and eventually his successor : the "Queen of Blades"!
Overview
Sarah Louise Kerrigan was a powerful psychic Terran female. She was drafted into the Confederate Ghost program and later joined a group of rebels known as the Sons of Korhal. She served as second-incommand until Arcturus Mengsk allowed her to be captured and infested by the Zerg Swarm.
Sarah was 26 years old during the events of StarCraft and 27 during the events of the Brood War.
She was voiced by Glynnis Talken-Campbell in StarCraft and Brood War, however, Kerrigan will be voiced by Tricia Helfer (of Battlestar Galactica fame) in StarCraft II.
Kerrigan's capture
In mission 9. New Gettysberg of the Terran campaign, Kerrigan was tasked by Mengsk to destroy the Protoss forces that had arrived on Tarsonis. The psi emitter keeping the Zerg under control, Mengsk ordered Raynor and Duke to remain on the command ship.Once Kerrigan had completed her mission, the psi emitter seemed to cease working as the Zerg swept down on the unsuspecting Terran base. Mengsk, refusing to send help as Raynor demanded, retreated all the forces he had in orbit.
It was the last time Kerrigan would be seen in her ghost outfit.
The Queen of Blades
After the defeat of the Overmind, Sarah could now become the new leader of the Zerg. All that stood in her path were a few renegade cerebrates. Manipulating the Dark Templar's martriarch, Kerrigan was able to use the Protoss forces and destroy her competition. With the Swarm under her control, she proclaimed herself the “Queen of Blades”.
