Description
Custom SC2 model of the infested version of Samir Duran from StarCraft Brood War. His unit model and portrait model is basically the same as his uninfested version but with zerg creep added on his ghost armour and face, orange glowing eyes, and a zerg infestation tentacle on his rifle and a pustule on his backpack to give the impression on how he looked like in his infested form due to Duran's nature as a Xel'naga shapeshifter taking the form of a terran and infested terran. I'll make sooner or later his true form as a Xel'naga similar to his appearance in SC2 Heart of the Swarm as Narud.Lore information about Samir Duran (Part 2):
After Stukov revealed to DuGalle that Duran was possibly infested by the zerg and the real traitor in the UED, the infested lieutenant escaped to join the zerg swarm. During the assault on the planet Char, the UED used the psi disrupter to hamper the zerg and destroy the cerebrates protecting the Second Overmind and capture it to take control of Daggoth's Renegade zerg swarm. As the UED claimed victory, Duran,now infested, appeared to introduce DuGalle to Sarah Kerrigan. After some verbal sparring with DuGalle, the two departed, as a swarm of mutalisks covered their retreat from the UED forces.
After the UED took control of the Second Overmind and its brood, Duran became the consort and advisor of Kerrigan in the swarm. When the zerg traveled to Tarsonis, Duran interrupted a conversation between her, Raynor, and Fenix to inform Kerrigan that the psi disrupter's signal had reached them on Tarsonis and shattered the unity of her broods. After Kerrigan's cerebrate secured the zerg hives on Tarsonis and destroyed the psi disrupter on Braxis, aboard the Hyperion which is in around the planet Moria, Duran and Kerrigan discussed whether Raynor, Fenix, and Mengsk suspected them of anything. Kerrigan said they must suspect something, but preferred working with her rather than with the UED.
The Swarm along with Raynor's Raiders and Fenix's protoss forces traveled to Korhal in order to liberate the planet from UED control. After the main UED base was destroyed on Korhal, Kerrigan decided to eradicate her allies after seeing that they served their purpose. Duran suggested the strategy of attacking while her allies were resting, allowing them to whittle down their defenses with relative ease. The ploy was successful. After the destruction of Duke's and Fenix's bases, they returned to Tarsonis to rest.
Two days later, the UED, intent on forcing Kerrigan's hand, tested out their control of the Overmind by sending hundreds of zerg to Tarsonis. As they began attacking their outposts, Duran informed her of the situation and rallied her forces.During the battle, Duran noticed a small UED encampment which protected a number of scientists commanding the UED Slave Brood in such a great distance from the Overmind. Kerrigan's zerg manage to destroy the UED base and its Slave Brood.
Later on, Duran accompanied Kerrigan to Shakuras where they plan to kidnap Raszagal Kerrigan did not reveal her interest in Raszagal to Duran, however. Duran informed her that the pylon clusters were generating some sort of electromagnetic field that prevented their flyers from maneuvering. Duran suggested staging a diversion and claiming Raszagal during the confusion, namely causing a surge within the pylon clusters adjacent to the outpost of Talematros. The resulting explosion will be the perfect cover for retrieving Raszagal. Kerrigan agreed, calling Duran's scheme "Clean, simple, devious." Kerrigan's cerebrate provided cover for Duran as he infiltrated the pylon clusters, set the charges, and ignited them.
Duran soon discovered that Raszagal was captured so as to provide Dark Prelate Zeratul and his brethren the incentive to kill the new Overmind for them. After this was done, Duran informed Kerrigan that with the Overmind and its cerebrates destroyed, all of the zerg in the sector had reverted to her direct control. In addition to this, the remnants of the UED fleet with unknown number of vessels had fled the planet , and the zerg had finished relocating Kerrigan's primary hive clusters to Char Aleph.
However, Zeratul and his brethren were able to bypass their defenses and steal Raszagal away from them. They had regrouped with a number of protoss survivors on the surface of Char and would be capable of dimensional recall to Shakuras within thirty minutes. Kerrigan had all of her broods mobilized and sent to the surface of Char. During this time, Duran disappeared.
