"Clear the bridge! I've got a battle to win."

The Stalwart Marine

Horace Warfield grew up another Terran colonist in one of the core worlds, subjected to a life of high work ethic and, unfortunately, abuse at home. While his siblings followed his parents footsteps into medical professions, though, Horace Warfield decided he'd rather enlist in the Conderate Marine Corps. He quickly climbed ranks and impressed his superiors with his honed dedication to victory and his razor-sharp focus on stratagems. In his trials he came across the now-infamous Arcturus Mengsk, then an officer in the Confederate army, and through multiple battles and conflicts, Warfield and Mengsk developed a comraderie that would carry on into their futures. It was Warfield's bravery and dedication to protecting his men that Mengsk saw as a valuable asset on the field of battle, and it was Warfield's stellar sense of strategy that would win Mengsk many more battles to come.

The Confederacy's Fall from Grace

After most of the conflicts involving the Confederacy were ended, and most uprisings quashed, Warfield became a glorified "peacekeeper" in the sector, engaging in violent acts of obedience and security which the Confederacy became known for; soon enough, his disillusionment with his superiors' agendas built to a breaking point. With the fall of Korhal through nuclear eradication, Warfield had seen enough of the corrupt side of the Confederacy and took his personal battlecruiser and hand-picked crew to flee the system, evading Confederate pursuit and hiding away until the moment was right to return and strike back at the oppressors.

Eventually he came back into contact with Arcturus Mengsk, who requisitioned his services alongside the rebel group, the Sons of Korhal, aiming to take back the power of the Confederacy for the people who it oppressed. With Warfield's knowledge of Confederate protocol and installations, Mengsk and the Sons of Korhal struck decisive blows to the Confderacy, though in their campaigns during the Brood Wars, Warfield invariably lost family and friends. Eventually, the Terran Dominion was made manifest on the ashes of the old Confederacy, and after some time, Warfield found retirement to be a new calling.

The Return of Kerrigan

Peace does not last for long, and the Terran worlds of the Dominion soon found themselves once again at the mercy of Zerg onslaughts, as Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades, began to make good on her promise of revenge against Mengsk and his followers. In the middle of this chaos, the rebel Jim Raynor was called to a campaign of great importance, converging his paths with that of Mengsk and Kerrigan. In order to maintain control over the ever-growing escalations, Mengsk had no choice but to pull Warfield from retirement and bring his military knowledge and might to bear. A political move that inspired calm amidst the calamity, Mengsk's hope was that Warfield and the Dominion Army would be more than enough to handle both the troublesome Raynor's Raiders and the violently encroaching Zerg threat. Mengsk assumed the Dominion's might would win out, as always.

With time, that assumption would be Mengsk's folly. In a series of blunders by the military and unfortunate battles that favored the Raiders' advancements, the Dominion soon began to lose its control of the situation. Warfield, having seen years of Mengsk's rule first hand, and seeing before him what greater threats still awaited all of humanity, made a decision to join with young Valerian, the crown prince of the Dominion, and make a final stand on Char to bring the Queen of Blades to heel. In this conflict, Warfield found that the labelled terrorist Raynor was no more than a man fighting for what was right, and in combat, Warfield saw a side to the former Marshall that no propaganda or smear campaign could tarnish: valor, morals, and courage under fire. Warfield helped Raynor and Valerian succeed in their conquest of Char, and it was there he remained to keep watch over the planet and eradicate the remaaining Zerg while Valerian's forces escaped with Raynor and Kerrigan and regrouped far from the Dominion. It was also there, on that fiery planet, where Warfield met his grisly end.

The Reclamation of Char

After a somewhat successful campaign of removing much of the Zerg presence on Char, Warfield was surprised to see Kerrigan return with amassed Zerg forces, looking to reclaim her former world. He had not known of the events prior, in which the Dominion ambushed Valerian's forces and left Kerrigan split off from the others, and presuming Raynor to be dead. He only saw a renewed Queen of Blades looking to gather her swarm and create more bloodshed. In his final stand on Char, Warfield brought the might of the superbattlecruiser Gorgon to bear upon the Hive Queen Zagara and her minions. The cruiser's firepower was unrivaled, but with aggressive advancements by the Zerg, the Terran forces could not sustain their footing on the planet, and their base soon became overrun by the ceaseless waves of the living Swarm. The only option left was to flee.

In the chaos of the final battles, Warfield had succumbed to heavy injuries during an explosion, becoming grievously wounded with steel and alloy beams protruding through his body. While trying to remove them, Kerrigan approached him. He told her of his wounded men trying to flee and how no more innocents needed to die, and in his final chastisement of the renewed Queen of Blades, he asked her, "What if Raynor could see you right now?" He received his answer as her emotions boiled over and she telekinetically drove the steel beam lodged in his torso further into him, killing him where he sat. However, his words did echo truth inside of her, and Kerrigan sent psychic word to the Swarm to let the escaping Terrans flee with their lives. Warfield's final stand drove the Queen of Blades to mercy, a legacy that lived on through her triumphant rise over the Dominion.
