Sarah Kerrigan

Sarah Louise Kerrigan, Queen of Blades, is the main character and one of the protagonists of the StarCraft series of computer games and novels from Blizzard Entertainment.

Kerrigan first appears in the real-time strategy game StarCraft as an officer of one of the warring parties— the Terran race, representing an alternative humanity in the fictional universe of the series. Due to her betrayal, she is captured by another game race, the insect—like Zerg, who turn her into a creepy evil creature, the Queen of Blades, combining the characteristics of a Terran and a Zerg. During the course of the development of the plot of the StarCraft: Brood War game expansion, she is freed from the control of her creators and seizes power over the Zerg Swarm herself. The novelizations Uprising and Liberty's Crusade describe Kerrigan's life before her transformation in more detail, while the novel Queen of Blades complements her image as the Queen of Blades. Her story continues in the game StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, in the finale of which the characters return Sarah Kerrigan to human form. Kerrigan plays a central role in the StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm expansion. The novelization "Flashpoint" describes the events between Wings of Liberty and Heart of the Swarm, including the development of Sarah and Jim Raynor's relationship. In the epilogue of Legacy of the Void, Sarah Kerrigan gains the power of Zel'naga and eventually destroys Amun, the main antagonist of the series.

The creators of the character are game designers Chris Metzen and James Finney. Kerrigan was voiced by Glynis Tolken Campbell in the StarCraft game and the Brood War expansion, and in the released sequel StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, she speaks in the voice of Tricia Helfer. In the localized Russian version of StarCraft II, Kerrigan was voiced by Polina Shcherbakova.

As one of the main characters in the series, Kerrigan has been praised by critics for her realistic and deep portrayal. She is ranked among the 50 best female characters in the history of computer games by Tom's Games, and a GameSpot poll ranked Kerrigan as one of the best gaming villains.

Kerrigan was named after American figure skater Nancy Kerrigan. Many of the infected Kerrigan's features, especially her hair, are inspired by the image of the gorgon Medusa from Greek myths. In one episode of StarCraft, Kerrigan claims to Zeratul, the dark templar of the Protoss, that he "can turn him to ashes with his gaze"; the mythical Medusa was credited with the ability to turn people into stone with her gaze. In addition, before the official announcement, StarCraft II was codenamed "Medusa". After her transformation, Kerrigan proclaimed herself the Queen of Blades, under this title she introduced herself to other characters, and at some point it became synonymous with her name. Chris Metzen explained that, according to the developers, such a self—designation should inspire reverence; the purpose of bladed weapons is to chop the enemy to pieces, so this title is appropriate for Kerrigan, who is destined to become the greatest tool of the Zerg Superintelligence.
