Once the brilliant and proud vice-admiral of the UED expedition to the Koprulu Sector, Stukov died at the hands of the mysterious and treacherous Samir Duran in order to prevent his bold plan of countering the rogue zerg swarm.
His death however was only the start of his torment, infested and experimented on by the Zerg and Duran, now Dr. Narud, Stukov has finally escaped his torturers and now plans to repay them for their hospitality... in kind.
Staying true to his origins in Broodwar, Stukov is in command of infested troops and zerg bioforms in order to disrupt enemies, push bases and support his allies. All this utility comes at a price as when he is caught alone or controlled by the enemy, there is little chance for him to escape, so proper positioning and recon is essential to make the most out of Stukov's abilities.
