"All my brothers and sisters--we'll fight for you right to the end."

Humble Beginnings

Gabriel Tosh was a gifted boy who came from nothing, growing up in a colony world where his psychic powers, often times described as Voodoo by his grandmother, were cause for great concern among fellow citizens. Shunned from a young age to live on the outskirts of his hometown, Tosh was more than eager to enlist in the Terran Confederacy to find a sense of purpose and belonging. The Confederacy, having a psionic enrichment program of its own, was more than happy to take Tosh into the fold. For years, Tosh fought alongside the soldiers of the Confederate army, and with the collapse of the Confederacy by rebels like Jim Raynor and Arcturus Mengsk, Tosh found himself in the service of a new army in the Terran Dominion, though in his eyes, continuing to serve the same cause as when he first enlisted: humanity's protection, above all else.

Seeds of Rebellion

Tosh served well in the Dominion army, capitalizing on their continued Ghost and experimental Spectre training programs to further enhance his psionic abilities. While going through the arduous years of being a recruit at the academy, Tosh gained and lost friends, both to heartbreak and combat, and the years of war took their inevitable hold. Purpose was a fleeting concept, and allegiance did not guarantee safety anymore. Tosh was eventually the victim of a dramatic physiological change during an incident involving the infamous Nova Terra, a high-profile Ghost operative who has a storied past with the prolific Spectre.

In a blast of psionic energy created by Nova, Tosh lost some of his memory and his eyes turned milky white, but as he would find out, his mind became more powerful. Now fortified against thought intrusions, and the Dominion's attempts to wipe his memory and protect their secrets, Tosh could not be controlled, and saw the Dominion for what they were: more of the same. He soon came to understand his place in the greater war machine, a cog that would endlessly turn to create violence in the name of the oligarchs who ran Terran society.

He would be a part of it no more.

Rebel with a Cause

Tosh began liberating and enlisting others like him, either trained Spectres from the Dominion's failed and scrapped programs, or those with similar gifts who fought alongside him as recruits in his younger years. All were branded as traitors. Some fell, others fought on, while Tosh sought a way to both get back at Mengsk for his part in the ceaseless war machine, and fortify a safe and certain future for his brethren. Along the way, Tosh encountered the rebel Jim Raynor and was happy to join his cause, knowing that their combined forces could cripple to Mengsk's hold on the sector. Through many trials, Tosh was able to free his people from a prison planet, secure vital resources for their continued training and proliferation, and know a moment's peace from being hunted down by corrupt tyrants. Though his ways remained contentious and mysterious to most, Tosh only did what had to be done to secure a future for his people.

The Nexus Calls

Now in the Nexus, Tosh brings his defiant attitude and wisdom of countless missions and battles to new heights, stalking enemies from the shadows of his Spectral Stealth and feeding off of their essence to restore his own Psionic Energy. In the blink of an eye, Tosh assaults his foes, leaving them confused and disoriented, then slips out before anyone can gather their defenses. His psionic powers are sure to be a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield, and his extensive training and lethal combat ability will secure the enemy's destruction.
