The Dark Voice (also known as the Fallen One) is an entity connected to the Void. It is the leader of the hybrids and seeks to remake all life in its image.^[3]

HistoryEdit

AntiquityEdit

When the xel'naga began uplifting the zerg, they created the Overmind to control and direct the hive mind, so as to try and avoid the "failure" with the protoss. But the Overmind was not given free will. It was given an overriding directive to obliterate the protoss. The Dark Voice had a hand in this.^[4][3]

While the Dark Voice ultimately planned to eliminate the zerg, it considered the hybrids to be proof of the zerg's success in its greater plan. It intended to enslave the zerg and use them and the hybrids to wipe out the terrans and protoss. Once the hybrids were dominant, it would dispose of the zerg and reshape all life in its own image.^[3]

The Countervailing PawnsEdit

The Overmind was not blind to its plight. It foresaw the apocalyptic outcome if the Dark Voice, whom it called "the Fallen One", was victorious. The creation of the Queen of Blades was largely the Overmind's attempt to free the zerg and prevent that future.^[4] The Dark Voice recognized the threat that Kerrigan posed.^[3]

After the Overmind's death, Tassadar passed on its vision to Zeratul,^[4] who made sure to warn Jim Raynor of Kerrigan's importance and to ensure her survival.^[5] Zeratul wondered if the Dark Voice was a xel'naga.^[3]

NotesEdit

In StarCraft II, a portrait called "Dark Voice" is available as an achievement reward.^[6]

The Dark Voice has an in-game unit named Amon in the Galaxy Map Editor. The model resembles the voidwalker from Warcraft (although this may simply be a placeholder model), and one of his selection quotes is "I love it when a plan comes together",^[7] the signature line of Colonel John "Hannibal" Smith of the A-Team.

Blizzard has clarified that the Voice in the Darkness is a different entity and not the same thing as the Dark Voice.^[8]
