Zoranis was a protoss member of the Templar Caste, who served as executor over a millennium before the Great War. His second-in-command, Adun, fought alongside him for eighty years. Rumors suggested that Adun was responsible for the good Templar strategies for the last fifty years of Zoranis' life. Zoranis' legacy can be said to have lived on in his disciple Adun, who took his place as executor.
