Forgive my brashness, but it seems to me that Mengsk is the bringer of the Hungerer as told by Zeratul at the end of the Protoss missions. If you unlocked the secret mission in SC II, you find out that Mengsk is cloning the Protoss/Zerg hybrids. There are many, many hybrids being cloned at that facility, and we know from the SC I expansion that there were many other facilities that were cloning these hybrids as well, I think the phrase "thousands of other facilities" was used. (the character/ traitor Duran told Zeratul this in the secret mission)
This would easily explain why he allows Tychus to do whatever he wants, as long as he can kill Kerrigan at the end, it will all be worth it, as she is the only one that can control the Zerg. Without her in control, "The Hungerer' can seize control of the Zerg (as was the case in the Protoss last mission storyline) and he can then wipe out all other life, as was his destiny, according to the Xel-Naga writings that Zeratul found on the first Protoss mission.
Mengsk is either dumb in trying to use the hybrid as a weapon (not likely), or he is in league with Duran from the SC I expansion, or the Hungerer itself and is following orders, or mind control, etc...
The next chapter (Heart of the Zerg) will have to be Kerrigan trying to reassert herself into the role of the Queen of blades to try to stop the end of times...
I would like to know who Duran really was from SC I. He told Zeratul that he was older than any other creature, perhaps he was the Hungerer itself, made to look human? I have a strange feeling that he will be there again sometime in this game as well...
