Preserver
From StarCraft Wiki
Preservers are a very small group of Khalai protoss who hold the memories of other dead Khalai.
The preservers, based out of the Sanctum, dress in gossamer-fine lavender and white garb to make their status obvious. At least one preserver was always on hand at the Conclave during its existence.[1]

[edit] Function
The accessible memories may be millennia old. It is claimed preservers have access to the memories of every dead Khalai.[2] When a Khalai dies their memories are instantly transferred to the preservers.[3]
The psionic link of the Khala is required to become a preserver and access the collective memory. Non-adherents of the Khala, such as the Dark Templar, are unable to become preservers.[3] The memories of protoss from the Aeon of Strife, who had lost their connection to the psionic link could still be accessed.[2] In addition, the memories of the Dark Templar-like Tal'darim may have become available to the preservers upon their deaths.[3]
[edit] History
In recent times the dark archon Ulrezaj used his Dark Templar assassins to kill preservers. Ulrezaj considered the preservers a threat to his plans.[3] By 2505 there were no preservers among the refugees on Shakuras.[1]
Zamara was one preserver mortally wounded by the assassins. To survive she forcibly transferred her mind from her dying body into Jake Ramsey, a terran archaeologist, using the technology of the xel'naga temple on Nemaka. This rewired Ramsey's brain and gave him both preserver abilities and a brain tumor. Ramsey's memories became available to future generations of preservers.[3]
