In the fictional StarCraft Universe, Aldaris is a 740-year-old powerful Protoss Judicator in the service of the Protoss Conclave. He was a stalwart supporter of the Khala. An agent of the Conclave, he served as Overseer to the Expedition fleet under Tassadar. He had a strong hatred of the Dark Templar, and would not hesitate to label those who disagree with his philosophy as heretics.

In StarCraft and Brood War, Aldaris is voiced by Paul Eiding.

We first see Aldaris in-game as an advisor to the new Executor at the beginning of Episode III, after the Zerg Overmind landed on Aiur and its Zerg troops rampaged over the planet, winning a string of victories.

Aldaris helped direct a nearly hopeless battle in the province of Antioch, and seeing Fenix achieve victory there, announced that he had regained faith in the Templar Caste. Tassadar appears, telling Aldaris that he should never have lost faith. Aldaris tells Tassadar to return to Aiur, but Tassadar refuses. "He has learned much from the Dark Templar Prelate Zeratul," he says, and Aldaris calls this heresy. He claims to sense the taint of the "Fallen Ones" on Tassadar's mind.

Over Aldaris' objections, Fenix follows Tassadar's proposed plan - to kill a Zerg Cerebrate and thus greatly weaken its Brood. The plot was not a success, as the Cerebrate reincarnated. Aldaris believed Tassadar tricked them.

Aldaris directs the next Protoss assault - into the province of Scion. He orders Fenix to maintain his outpost in Antioch with a small number of warriors, which turned out to be a strategic error. While the Zerg in Scion are defeated, so is Fenix ... when Fenix calls for help, Aldaris simply told him to hold out as long as he could.

Shadow Hunting

Believing their strategy is working, Aldaris travels to Char in order to hunt down Tassadar. While Tassadar told him that the Zerg were no longer on Char, it seems he was wrong. Aldaris was able to sense their presence at quite a distance.

Fighting their way past the Zerg, Aldaris' small escort encounter Tassadar and Jim Raynor. Aldaris proceeded to insult Tassadar for his choice of companionship, while Tassadar is outraged that Aldaris would come all the way to Char to arrest him, rather than fight the Zerg on Aiur.

Aldaris accuses Tassadar of lying about the Cerebrate, but Tassadar reveals that a Cerebrate can only be killed by Dark Templar energies.

Tassadar convinces the new Executor to follow him, despite Aldaris' attempts to keep him on his side.

The Fall

Tassadar and Zeratul, along with a band of Dark Templar, arrive on Aiur, with a plan to defeat the Zerg. However, the Protoss Conclave stands in their way.
