Aegwynn[]

Magna Aegwynn 655

The penultimate Guardian of Tirisfal and the mother of Medivh. As the Guardian of Tirisfal she personally fought and slew Sargeras, who had appeared as an avatar on Azeroth. As Aegwynn's arrogance and independance from the Council of Tirisfal grew, she felt that she was the only one to choose the next Guardian. She seduced Nielas Aran, court conjurer of Stormwind, and gave birth to Medivh, before leaving him in Nielas' care, transferring the powers of the Guardian of Tirisfal for her son to awaken later in his age. Unfortunately, Sargeras had spirited his essence into Aegwynn after his avatar was slain, and he possessed Medivh as he was conceived, leading to him opening the Dark Portal and leading the orcs into Azeroth.


Maiev Shadowsong[]

MaievShadowsong 5136
Cquote1

 "I watched the barrow prisons for over ten thousand years. Yet I'm the one who feels caged."

Cquote2


Appointed the jailer of Illidan during his ten thousand year imprisonment, Maiev later pursued him after his banishment by the Night Elves, seeking to return him to justice or kill him if necessary. She followed Illidan to Outland, where she was seemingly killed, but was actually captured and imprisoned by the Broken (the corrupted remnants of the Draenei in Outland). Akama, the leader of the Broken, was secretly conspiring with Maiev to defeat Illidan. With the aid of a group of heroes, Maiev and Akama broke into the Black Temple and were able to kill the Betrayer once and for all.

Cquote1

 Malfurion: Who is the betrayer now, Maiev?

Cquote2
  • So What Do We Do Now?: After Illidan's death, Maiev realizes that her life has become meaningless, with Illidan's dying words saying that The Huntress is nothing without The Hunted.
  • Trap Master


Akama[]

Akama 9261
Cquote1

 "We Draenei have fought the orcs and their demon masters for generations. Now, at last, we will end their curse forever."

Cquote2


Formerly a priest at the Temple of Karabor on Draenor, like many of the Draenei, he was turned into a Broken after the Orc's attempt of wiping out the Draenei. Leading the Ashtongue tribe of Broken, Akama allied himself with Illidan's forces to defeat Magtheridon, who ruled Outland from the former Temple of Karabor, currently known as the Black Temple. However, Akama realized that the Temple had only traded one evil master for another. Akama has been patiently waiting for a chance to betray Illidan and end his supposed rule over Outland.


Azshara[]

Cquote1

 "There has only ever been, only ever will be... one Azshara."

Cquote2

Queen Azshara was the beloved ruler of the kaldorei ten thousand years ago, and is the current ruler of the monstrous naga. Entrancingly beautiful and beloved by her people, Azshara began a descent into madness when she was corrupted by the Dark Titan Sargeras, master of the Burning Legion. After her defeat at the hands of Malfurion Stormrage, and the Great Sundering that sent her and much of her Highborne into the depths of the sea, Azshara was transformed into the Empress of Nazjatar — progenitor of the serpentine naga. Azshara is often thought to be the greatest mortal mage ever to live - although she may no longer be mortal.


Tirion Fordring[]

TirionFordring 3097
Cquote1

 "Too long have I sat idle, gripped in this haze... this malaise, lamenting what could have been... what should have been. Your death will not have been in vain, Taelan. A new Order is born on this day...an Order which will dedicate itself to extinguishing the evil that plagues this world. An evil that cannot hide behind politics and pleasantries. This I promise... This I vow..."

Cquote2


Currently the Highlord of the Argent Crusade and one of Arthas' main enemies. His story started with when Eitrigg, an Orc veteran chose to save his life. Owing him a blood debt, Tirion later sacrifices his own Knighthood and was exiled for saving the Orc's life from being executed by the Alliance. Living as a hermit, he saw as his son Taelan grew up and joined the Scarlet Crusade. Asking adventurers for help, he managed to reconnect with his son and convinced him to defect, though Taelan was soon after killed by Grand Inquisitor Isillien. Avenging his son, Tirion swore to reform the Knights of the Silver Hand.

He later confronts Darion Mograine, then a Death Knight serving Arthas. After managing to convince him to defect, Arthas comes along to finish them off. At this point Darion throws the corrupted Ashbringer to Tirion, who manages to purify it upon touch. Driving off Arthas, Tirion unites the Argent Dawn and the Silver Hand into the Argent Crusade. They eventually achieve victory atop Icecrown Citadel, Tirion personally shattering Frostmourne, leading to Arthas' death. In Cataclysm he now resides in and leads the Argent Crusade from Hearthglen.


Darion Mograine[]

DarionMograine 6637
Cquote1

 "Harness your hate. Make it useful."

Cquote2


Leader of the Knights of the Ebon Blade, a renegade faction of death knights who broke away from the Scourge. Darion is the son of Alexandros Mograine, who was murdered by his other son and resurrected by the Scourge as the leader of all death knights. He led an assault on Naxxramas with the intent of freeing his father's soul, but succeeded only by sacrificing his own in turn and taking Alexandros' place. During the battle at Light's Hope Chapel, however, Tirion Fordring was able to free him (and the rest of the Ebon Blade) from the Lich King's control, using the Ashbringer. Currently, the two of them are engaged in a full-scale assault on Icecrown, and have done most of the war-winning so far while the Alliance and Horde fight each other.


Medivh[]

Medivh 3000
Cquote1

 Humanity is in peril, the tides of darkness have come again and the whole world is poised on the brink of war.

Cquote2


The last Guardian of Tirisfal. He was conceived by and inherited the power from Aegwynn in defiance of the Kirin Tor, as she was possessed by the spirit of Sargeras. She left him in the care of his father, and became friends with Llane Wrynn and Anduin Lothar. His power awoke on his fourteenth birthday, and made him lapse into a coma. After he recovered, Sargeras, whose soul had passed to him from his mother, made a deal with Gul'dan and opened the Dark Portal. Khadgar, his apprentice, discovered his corruption some time afterwards and, along with Lothar and Garona, managed to slay him. It was later revealed that he was Garona's lover and had a child with her.

With Medivh's death, his soul was freed, and Sargeras was banished. His mother later resurrected him and he launched a plan to unite the Horde and Alliance to stand against the Burning Legion. In the end, he convinced Jaina, Thrall, and Malfurion to lead the army to stall Archimonde until the trap could be set at the World Tree and Archimonde destroyed for good.

His whereabouts after the war are unknown.


A'dal[]

AdalTCG 1051

The leader and most powerful of the Sha'tar naaru, A'dal uses its power to protect Shattrath City from various threats. Like all naaru, A'dal is sworn to defeat the Burning Legion. It was ultimately responsible for persuading the Blood Knights (the blood elf order of paladins) to renounce Kael'thas's rule. Not much else is known about it.

In Wrath of the Lich King, it aids adventurers in helping a paladin infected with the Scourge plague by sending him to a better place via the powers of the light .

Cquote1

 A'dal hits Fel Reaver for 114952.

Fel Reaver dies.

Cquote2


Rhonin[]

Rhonin 6766

The head of the Kirin Tor, he tries to do his best against the Blue Dragonflight.

  • Interspecies Romance: With Vareesa Windrunner, younger sister to Alleria and Sylvanas.
  • Heterosexual Life Partners: With Krasus, and to a lesser extent, with Brox (the two often shared conspiratorial glances and shared thoughts about how they all knew the way things would turn out.) He certainly cared enough to try to honor Brox's memory.
  • Only Sane Man: Is this during Garrosh and Varian's squabble; of course, his friendship with Brox probably helped.
  • Redheaded Hero
  • You Are in Command Now: He was actually the 4th choice for the Kirin Tor leader, but the others were unavailable, so he got the job.


Anveena Teague[]

AnveenaTeague 1202

Anveena is the physical embodiment of the remaining energies of the Sunwell, given human form and memories by Krasus. She is eventually forced to learn of her heritage and later joins with the Blood Elves to try to heal the Sunwell. She ends up getting kidnapped by Kael'thas, almost drained, and forced to sacrifice herself to help defeat Kil'jaeden.


Cho'gall[]

Chogall 6831

First and most powerful of all the Ogre-Magi, and head of the Twilight's Hammer, Cho'gall is one of the oldest villains in the Warcraft universe. He accompanied the Old Horde in their attack on Lordaeron, but ultimately sided with Gul'dan when he betrayed the Horde in search of the Tomb of Sargeras. Cho'gall ultimately survived the Horde's retribution, and made his way to Southern Kalimdor, where he lay in hiding.

Inside Ahn'Qiraj, he infused his body with part of the remains of C'thun, in an ritual to resurrect the Old God. Although eventually defeated by Medivh's son Me'dan, he survived again and later pledged himself and the Twilight's Hammer to the service of Deathwing.

  • Ax Crazy
  • Badass Beard/Badass Mustache: Having two heads, Cho'gall pulls both off.
  • Beard of Evil: Both heads have one.
  • Body Horror: Oh boy, the mutations he went through thanks to the remains of C'thun. He also causes this to players, transforming them into faceless ones if the corrupted blood manages to corrupt the players completely.
  • Big Ol' Eyebrows: The head with the fu manchu mustache (Cho) has long black eyebrows. This is somewhat unique as ogres typically don't have eyebrows.
  • The Dragon: Was this to Gul'dan in Warcraft 2. Currently fills this role for Deathwing.
  • Drop the Hammer: Wields the Hammer of Twilight in his raid encounter.
  • Eyes Do Not Belong There: His upper chest and arms are covered with eyeballs, due to the ritual with C'thun which resulted in him going all One-Winged Angel.
  • Genius Bruiser
  • Good Scars, Evil Scars: Has an x-shaped scar on his belly from the axes of Rend and Maim.
  • Large and In Charge: While always under the leadership of others, Cho'gall has led the Twilight's Hammer ever since the old Horde and is pretty damn big. He then got even bigger later on when he was mutated.
  • Lovecraftian Superpower
  • Magic Knight: Though pugilist is probably a better description.
  • Multiple Head Case: It's a given, being an ogre mage. Both heads in his case have individual names, Cho and Gall.
  • Omnicidal Maniac: The Twilight's Hammer Cult under his leadership is entirely devoted to bringing about the apocalypse.
  • One-Winged Angel: Turned into a giant in the comic, among other things.
  • Palette Swap: For some reason his apprentices all use his pre One-Winged Angel model.
  • Power Born of Madness
  • Religion of Evil: He made the Twilight's Hammer into a mad religious cult after the fall of the Old Horde, their objects of worship being the Old Gods.
  • Sanity Slippage
  • Staying Alive: Twice so far. First, he was thought to have been killed by Rend and Maim, but he survived with an x-shaped scar. He was buried in the collapse of Ahn'Qiraj during his battle with Med'an, and it still wasn't enough to kill him apparently.
  • Stout Strength
  • Walking Shirtless Scene: As most ogres are.
  • With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Between his training with Gul'dan and the remains of C'thun's body, he's pretty much lost any semblance of sanity.
    • Cataclysm splits the difference. Cho remains eloquent and intelligent. Gall has been reduced to a gibbering lunatic who speaks with riddles, doublespeak and cryptic prophecies. An Orcish seer explains that Gall was fully taken over by the Old Gods, hence the result. It also means that you want to be as far away as possible when the two heads speak in unison.


Ragnaros the Firelord[]

Ragnaros-the-Firelord 7281

One of the four Elemental Lords of Azeroth and the embodiment of fire and magma and ruler of all Fire Elementals. Once a servant of the Old Gods, he and the other Lords were banished to the Elemental Planes by the Titans when the Old Gods were defeated. Ragnaros was accidentally summoned from his home in the Firelands by the Dark Iron Dwarf leader Thaurissan, an act that shattered the Redridge Range and created the volcanic peak Blackrock Mountain. Reveling in his freedom, Ragnaros quickly enslaved the remaining Dark Iron Dwarves and began bringing his Elemental allies and armies back to the Material Plane of Azeroth, intending to turn the world into a molten hell. However, Ragnaros was defeated by a band of adventurers, who struck before the Firelord had regained his full powers, banishing him back to the Firelands.

This was only a temporary defeat. Following Neltharion's cataclysmic return, the Aspect of Death aided Ragnaros in returning again, this time on the very slopes of Mount Hyjal. With his Fire Elementals, Core Hounds, magma-serpent minions and the Twilight Hammer, Ragnaros seeks to incinerate the World Tree, Nordrassil. He has allied himself with Deathwing, and only time will tell if the fury of the Firelord can be extinguished permanently...

  • Drop the Hammer: His legendary mace, Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros. Which is also covered with spikes.
  • Kill It with Fire: What Ragnaros intends to do to the entire world.
  • Killed Off for Real: The patch 4.2 raid takes place in the Firelands and involves killing Ragnaros there. Since he is killed in his own Plane of Existence, he will not be revived
  • Large Ham
  • Magma Man: His body is formed of lava and fire.
  • Pivotal Boss: Except for Phase 4 on Heroic. He has various knockbacks, but will do lethal damage to tanks outside his hitbox.
  • Playing with Fire: Naturally.
  • Trick Boss: On the Heroic mode of his Firelands encounter, you take him down to 10% as normal, but then he gets back up, regains some of his health and enters an entirely new fourth phase.
  • Worf Had the Flu: According to Executus, his Molten Core incarnation is at only a fraction of his true strength.
  • You Have Failed Me: When Majordomo Executus awakens Ragnaros and tells him that he failed to kill the raid, Ragnaros fires him. Literally.

Chen Stormstout.[]

Chen Stormstout 9289

A Pandaren Brewmaster who originally appeared in Wacraft 3, where he aided Rexxar. He's set to appear in World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria, where adventurers will aid him in retaking his family's brewery from hozu and verming invaders.


Budd Nedreck[]

The leader of a group of treasure hunters, Budd first appeared outside Zul'Aman in The Burning Crusade, where he sent players into the Troll stronghold looking for riches. He has since made an appearance in both of the subsequent expansions.

  • Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny
  • Bad Boss: Sent people working for him into a highly dangerous place that he refused to enter himself. His dialogue implies he's already lost several people to the Trolls, and doesn't seem that bothered by it.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: His experience with the angry Troll spirits left him... different.
  • Crazy Enough to Work: He comes up with the plan to escape from Tol'vir City.
  • Frying Pan of Doom: How he plays "Tag" with Trolls in Northrend.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: After the Adventurers succeeded in killing Zul'jin, Budd threw a vial his blood into a burning building, declaring himself the vanquisher. The local spirits decide to take revenge on him for that, pulling him into the burning building after which he runs around on fire.
  • Kill It with Fire: Subverted. Looks like this is what happened, but later content makes it clear he survived.
  • Miles Gloriosus: Made many claims to fame and accomplishing great deeds, but it's pretty clear he's taking credit for someone else's work if not making it up entirely.
  • Recurring Character
  • Ted Baxter


The Earthen Ring[]

The Earthen Ring is an organization dedicated to preserving the harmony between the elements on Azeroth and Outland. They are made up of shamans from both the Alliance and the Horde. In Cataclysm they have taken a major role in trying to repair the destruction Deathwing's return has wrought upon Azeroth, and working to prevent more impending disasters from occurring.

  • Arch Enemy: Twilight's Hammer.
  • Balance of Power: Ideally the Earthen Ring would like to preserve the balance between the four elements, which are represented by the elemental lords Ragnaros (Fire), Therazane (Earth), Neptulon (Water), and Al'Akir (Wind). They will often take sides with one to pacify the other. For example, during the Midsummer Fire Festival, they side with Ragnaros against Ahune the Frost Lord, in order to prevent an elemental war, and in Cataclysm they work mainly for Therazane and Neptulon to stop the Twilight's Hammer and the naga in Deepholm and Vashj'ir respectively.
  • Dropped a Bridge on Him: In the final run to safety in the Hour Of Twilight dungeon, four of the earthen ring shaman you've quested with and known are unceremoniously killed off by being strangled by a tentacle.
  • Equal Opportunity Good: Shamans of all races are welcome to join the Earthen Ring. They are also more than willing to work with members of the Horde or the Alliance to protect Azeroth and Outland.
  • Elemental Powers: Being made up of shamans, this is a given.
  • A Load of Bull: Their leader, Muln Earthfury.
  • Shadow Archetype: Twilight's Hammer to the Earthen Ring. Similar methods (use of the elements and study of the Old Gods), vastly different goals: Twilight's Hammer wants to use the elements to spread chaos, and they study the Old Gods to pave the way for their return, while the Earthen Ring wants to preserve the balance between the elements, and they study the Old Gods in order to find ways to keep them from coming back.
  • Summon Magic: They often summon elemental spirits to help them in combat or perform cleansing rituals.
