[[WMG: Adun, Doran Routhe, Samir Duran, Narud were some of the persona's the shapeshifter has used in the past]]
He took on the protoss identity of Adun and led the protoss against the dark templar knowing that they would become a threat (a bit temporarily) to the zerg in the future, leading to their exile. Later he became Doran Routhe in earth in order to get humans to the Korpulu Sector knowing that the Terran technology was much better suited to create hybrids then the Protoss's or probably any other species he observed over the years could. He also foreseen sarah kerrigan being infested and then un-infested which allowed him to free his master Amon which is probably why he included psychics among the terrans abroad the sleeper ships. Then he became Duran to use that technology to create the hybrids only to get bogged down by the UED and the rest of the factions. Afterwards he created the Moebius foundation to find the Xelnaga artifacts so that Amon could be resurrected by uninfesting kerrigan which released Amon, which is also why when you fight him in Heart of the Swarm he is in control of the Tal'adrim and Hybrids when you battle him.

While the terrans were not created/uplifted by the xel'naga, I am pretty sure that Narud (an ancient shapeshifter with many names) saw the perfect chance to sow the hybrid with the human race. He may have even been partly responsible for the "fall of Western civilization" and the rise of the United Powers League to push this goal. There is also the fact that the Colony ships had enough fuel for a 28 year voyage, despite only going on a 1 year journey.

Timeline that will occur in game: Kerrigan was changed rather than killed, and takes over the swarm. Her actions stop the fighting between the terran and zerg as well, allowing the terrans to retain, and possibly continue working on, various psy weapons and the artifact. When Amon attacks, he faces the full forces of the zerg, main protoss, and terrans instead of getting to simply overwhelm the protoss with the zerg. Since Amon is extremely powerful, he will still be able to overrun the protoss in various missions, including one similar to In Utter Darkness. However, in a mission similar to the Archimonde mission in Warcraft 3, all the battles are simply delaying actions while the Terrans prepare with a new psi weapon, or just charge up the artifact again, killing Amon again, for good.
[[WMG: Narud/Duran is responsible for the Terran arival in the Koprulu sector]]

[[WMG: The different factions of the game are allegories for the KoreanWar]]
* Terrans: Americans, and NATO. Use a lot of artillery, machinery in general, can hold positions well. Culture is generally more laid-back with an emphasis on "Wings of Liberty" (referring to the American theme of freedom and eagles).

* Zerg: Communists, such as Soviet Union and China. Most populous nation, that [[ZergRush rely on massive and cheap numbers of soldiers]] (Stalin's philosophy of "quantity has a quality on its own"), good at subversive tactics and stealth (Chinese moving at night with relatively few supplies, zerg using burrow and dark swarm), go for surrounds, etc. The Hive Mind's totalitarian control of its forces is obviously a metaphor for totalitarianism. Obviously, things like ultralisks and guardians don't really have equivalents, but are added later for balance reasons.

* Protoss: Wish fulfilment for various First-world East Asian groups, such as South Korea and Japan. Instead of being stuck in a proxy war between the two superpowers, they get the strongest, smartest, most advanced, and otherwise most powerful of everything. (Notice how protoss seem to have close equivalents to a lot of the less specialized units of other races). The Protoss also have Robotics Facilities, just like the extensive cyberpunkish levels of technological proliferation in both South Korea (where EverythingIsOnline) and Japan (automated Robotics Facilities for most manual industrial labour). Of course, to balance everything, costs are increased and the Protoss have the samurai-esque "bring swords to a gunfight" honour culture. The expensiveness can also mirror how in both South Korea and Japan, almost everything is expensive, hence why in those countries ChildrenAreAWaste and [[AsianAndNerdy scientific education is seen as of utmost importance]].

* Who is Abinmorth? I thought the Swarm was evolved by Abathur?

[[WMG: The terrans will be the ones to finish off Amon]]
Notice how, in game, it is the terrans developing psi emitters, disrupters, the psi destroyer Arcturus uses.  Also, think on the terrans contually being the SpannerInTheWorks species in the game.  Here's how I imagine the original overmind vision going, vs. how the final game will go.

Overmind:  The Terrans killed Kerrigan, resulting in a long war vs. several feral zerg groups, and also picking fights with the protoss.  These fights result in the defeat of the terrans, before Amon takes over the zerg and uses them to kill the protoss.
