Achton Feld was Angus Mengsk's chief of security, a difficult job due to frequent assassination attempts against Mengsk. Unfortunately for Feld, Mengsk cared little about his own security precautions, prompting Feld to wonder if he should have gotten a safer but more boring security job on Brontes.^[1]

Feld was insightful, able to see hidden aspects of Arcturus Mengsk's character and even giving him advice.^[1]

He later became a colonel in the Rebellion of Korhal. He was killed in the nuclear strike on the planet.^[2]

[edit] Biography

In 2478, Achton Feld caught a seventeen-year-old Arcturus Mengsk breaking into his own summer residence the same day Umojan ambassador Ailin Pasteur had come to visit. This indirectly alerted him to an actual home invasion by neurally resocialized marines, disguised as a corporate death squad.

Feld was injured in the battle, taking six Impaler spikes in the shoulder.

Feld's insight suggested the "corporate death squad" was, in fact, a Confederate assassination attempt. Afterward he suffered months of skin grafts and bone reconstruction surgery, leaving him with long-term pain. He wanted to hurt the Confederacy in revenge.^[1]

Shortly after the battle, Angus Mengsk and Ailin Pasteur arranged for secret Umojan aid to the underground rebellion. Feld's revolutionary responsibilities included hiding all involvement by the Mengsk Dynasty in the underground rebellion despite the Confederate crackdown. This action was successful.^[1]

Feld built a strong security apparatus around Angus Mengsk, including a balcony force field, but in 2489, shortly after Mengsk declared Korhal's independence, three secret agents bypassed the force field and slew Mengsk, his wife and daughter.^[1]

Feld became the elected leader of the rebel forces on Korhal in the absence of General Arcturus Mengsk, based in its capital of Styrling. Dedicated to Korhal's cause, he relished the chance of facing Confederate forces in battle. Unfortunately he was never given the opportunity, Styrling being caught at ground zero in the nuclear bombardment.^[2]
