Abathur, the Evolution Master is a specialist hero straight out of the Starcraft universe. Abathur is responsible for the evolution of Kerrigan's Swarm during Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm and works ceaselessly to improve the genetic pool of the Zerg race. His hatred for chaos and imperfections comes close to madness.
Abathur is an enigma. The Evolution Master of Kerrigan's Swarm during Heart of the Swarm with a troubled past and of a very secret nature. The Zergs have searched for the perfection of their race since their youth through predatory and merciless evolution. While the Overmind has been a driving force behind this for the Zergs, Abathur is its will personified.
Abathur is an old organism, long serving as an “evolution master” – a guiding hand spinning the strands of zerg DNA into mutations of existing zerg and entirely new strains. Left to its own devices, Abathur’s approach to evolving the Swarm is unorthodox: consuming living tissue, and dissolving it into genetic components able to be quickly reassemble
Abathur is one of the Zergs who seems least linked to the Overmind -apart from Kerrigan- and is particularly individualistic and self aware for his race. His quest for perfection leads him into an alliance with Kerrigan and to get down on one ... knee (?) before a higher authority, but no doubt Abathur has plenty of other ideas in mind...
Abathur is a very unusual character for his type. Basically the Evolution Master has no direct attack, almost all his spells have a global range and Abathur is never as happy as when you're not playing him directly, whether it's in a symbiotic relation with an ally or by using his heroic ability that creates a copy of the allied target. Abathur is special. Very special.
