Who do you want to see become the Legacy of the Void protagonist?

[DemolitionSquid]

isn't he her teacher squiddy? but yes, i do agree with you

All bosses are teachers.

All bosses are teachers.

nah...some are just pricks :P

Selendis works FOR Artanis. He's basically her boss. They're part of the same faction. Keep up with the details man.

I knew that. However, did you notice in Twilight how hot Selendis was for going to Aiur? Artanis... not so much.

Selendis' Aiur hook is repeated elsewhere. I'm sure it's foreshadowing.

Furthermore, we've already been told that protoss society will splinter in the future.

[Artanis]

You're always an Executor in Protoss' campaigns. The answer is obvious.

[HydraHydra]

I voted Artanis. He is my favorite Protoss.

I think Mohandar and Urun are both too generic (they're only a couple, out of many, tribal representatives in the Protoss' Hierarchy) to be the player character in LotV. With Zeratul, I don't see him to have much interest in politics (which is needed if diplomacy is to feature prominently). And with Tassadar, should he be revived, he would too much of Messiah figure. That'd be like playing Jseus Christ in a campaign; he'd be depicted as perfect, infallible and (hence) boring.

That just leaves Artanis and Selendis. Personally, I like the idea of playing a character who has to answer to a higher authority. It would be a nice change of pace after playing Raynor and Kerrigan (who too will likely mainly answer to herself). This way, Selendis may be faced with having to do things that she doesn't personally agree with; which opens plenty of opportunities for conversation between characters and character exploration (for Selendis, Artanis and others). As far as player choice, it could be presented in how much she adheres to Artanis' orders.

That's a pretty good idea, actually. I think I would be quite fine with either Selendis or Artanis being the player character in LotV. Too bad Blizzard's already announced multiple times that Zeratul will be the PC.

These are good points. I'm kind of doubting that Zeratul will be much a leader figure in Legacy either. I know what the wiki says but consider the way that he sort of lets every other named Protoss take command over him. He just gives his little three liner speech to the zealots, then that mohander guy warps in and suddenly he's the one giving out all of the tactical advice. I think that Zeratuls first mission turned out in a similar way once he met the army of Zealots lead by Karas.

It almost looks like the little information we have on Legacy has been changed.

[Blizzmaniac]

Undecided between Artanis and Zeratul: Artanis holds the highest rank in Protoss hierarchy, but Zeratul is much older, a skilled warrior, wiser and know more about threat of the hybrids/Dark voice than everybody else

[mr. peasant]

Hence, he shouldn't. Zeratul knows a fair amount about the Hybrids. Meanwhile, the player doesn't. It would be difficult to introduce the stuff to the player without making Zeratul sound amnesiac or turning it into an example of 'As You Know'. Case in point: Zeratul's missions in WoL. That's why I think he'd work better as an advisor or side character who informs the main character (and hence, the player).
