* BadBoss:
** To the Moonguard in the War of the Ancients. Illidan would lead them in synchronized spell casting, but didn't notice or care that precious few of them could keep pace with him. He ended up working them into the ground, to the extent that even the [[FantasticRacism ancient night elves]] were happy when Rhonin took charge of the group as he used lower level magicks and gave them a chance for a breather.
** To his empire in Outland. ''Illidan'' presents his rule over Outland as little more than a vehicle for him creating as large and fearsome an army of demon hunters as possible. The primary reason the Azerothian forces were able to defeat so many of his lieutenants without him getting involved and Kael was able to defect to the Legion without him noticing is Illidan simply didn't care what happened to most of his followers.


Added DiffLines:

* CharacterizationMarchesOn:
** Initially, Illidan's title of "Betrayer" and long imprisonment came from him betraying his people to the Burning Legion for power during their first invasion. ''War of the Ancients'' would change this to Illidan only pretending to join the Legion for power while intending to turn that power against them, with the title coming from people unaware he was a FakeDefector and the imprisonment coming from another crime altogether.
** Illidan's animosity towards the Legion was originally purely a matter of circumstance, i.e. they were an enemy of his people and he saw defeating them as important solely in that context. The plot of ''Frozen Throne'' is kicked off by Illidan agreeing to work for Kil'jaeden and his stated reason for going to Outland was to find a place from the demon lord's wrath after he failed. After being defeated by Arthas, Illidan returns to Outland, rules over it like a tyrant, and goes a little insane. ''Illidan'' and ''Legion'' would instead present Illidan as having the life goal of destroying the Burning Legion ever since the first invasion. Him working for Kil'jaeden was due to AnOfferYouCantRefuse, he went to Outland to build up an army with which to challenge the Legion, his insanity was retconned away, and his tyrannical actions were him preparing for the coming conflict while practicing PoorCommunicationKills.


Added DiffLines:

* IneffectualLoner: One of Illidan's biggest problems is his belief that he and he alone knows how best to combat the Legion, causing him to drive away or ignore potential allies. His attempt to go it alone, create his own empire and challenge the Legion on his terms in ''Burning Crusade'' quickly falls apart, as people are unaware of his greater plans (which even his followers have serious doubts about) and he's taken out as just another petty, demonic tyrant. When he teams up with Velen, the Army of the Light, and most importantly the [[PlayerCharacter adventurers]] in ''Legion'', he makes considerably more progess.


Added DiffLines:

* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: Downplayed, but a part of Illidan's character, especially early on in his life, is that he is entirely willing to take extreme actions in pursuit of noble ends, because he considers it his destiny to be TheHero and craves his ''rightful'' esteem. Ironically, when he goes more fully into his extremism he also becomes more genuinely well intentioned and stops craving being hailed as a hero.

* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: His use of the Legion's own power in order to defeat them was once a noble goal, but he eventually became barely an elf and nearly as much a demon as they are. Only the fact he's still focused on defeating the Legion with that power does he avoid becoming a full-on FallenHero.

* {{Expy}}: Of [[Characters/WarhammerWarriorsOfChaos Dechala the Denied One]] from [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}} Warhammer Fantasy]], [[https://wow.gamepedia.com/File:Lady_Vashj.jpg up to looking]] ''extremely'' [[https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Dechala_the_Denied_One similar]], the main difference being that Dechala uses swords, and Lady Vashj a bow. Beside their physical similarity, both were elven nobles, transformed into [[MultiArmedAndDangerous multi-armed]] SnakePeople, with the help of chaotic deities(The Chaos God Slaanesh for Dechala, The Old Gods for Vashj). Although one could say the status of expies of Dechala, could be extended to the whole Naga species...

Interestingly, the Burning Crusade era artpiece, [[http://wowpedia.org/File:Illidari_Leaders.jpg ''Foes Of Outland'']] has Lost One Akama in the background.

His obsession with power led Kael'thas to consort directly with Kil'jaeden the Deceiver, the last undefeated Eredar lord of the Burning Legion. Abandoning Illidan as a lost cause, Kael'thas entered the recently arrived Naaru Dimensional Ship, the Tempest Keep, and began harnessing the magical energy of Outland toward unknown purposes. In the meantime, he sent forces to attack and destroy the rebuilt city of Shattrath, home to the power of the Naaru. These forces betrayed him and formed the Scryers.

*** During the Expansion, the Sha'tar, Alliance, and Horde saw Illidan at work creating the Fel Horde, enslaving Broken, and draining Zangarmarsh. Before the forces of Azeroth even got to Outland, Shattrath was attacked by blood elves, supposedly at Illidan's command. What Illidan was actually doing was preparing his forces on Outland to invade Argus and stop the Legion at it's source. He just didn't tell anybody, completely missed the fact that Kael'thas turned traitor, which is what got the people of Outland against him in the first place.

!!Matron Mother Malevolence
The Matron Mother of the Illidari shivarra, who joined Illidan after Magtheridon was defeated. By her own admission, she always found Sargeras a bore and realized that The Burning Legion's goal of [[OmnicidalManiac destroying all life]] was no fun when there are an elite faction of Illidan's army, composed of Demon Hunters, Broken, Naga, and Shivarra.so many mortals to play with instead.




to:

* ALighterShadeOfBlack: She and her sisters only fight for the Illidari because they like having mortal playthings to torment. It's still a step up from trying to end all life like the other demons.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: As with all shivarra, she's a six-armed warrior who's equipped with four massive warblades.
* MyEyesAreUpHere: In one of her farewell quotes, she reminds the player to keep their eyes all the way next time they talk.
* RememberTheNewGuy: She's introduced on Mardum and treated as an important member of the Illdari as if she was always around, and is available as one of Demon Hunter's class hall champions. She does at least retroactively explain the Illidari-aligned shivarra in the Black Temple like Mother Shahraz.
* {{Stripperific}}: She wears a dress with a plunging neckline and midriff-bearing window.
* TheTease: Her dialogue is filled with flirtation and sexual innuendo.
