[[folder: The Maw as a whole]]

[[folder: Ve'nari]]

[[folder: The Runecarver]]

* AnAxeToGrind: Krexus wields a huge longaxe with the handle made of bone.

* DisproportionateRetribution: While she tends to go with a KillEmAll mentality, she still falls to this as, in her Ember Court quest, she specifically requests the Maw Walker to go and kill the descendants of a rival, a slightly annoying neighbour, and finally someone that didn't even know Emeni hated them.

* KillEmAll: Her modus operandi, and what most of her quotes end up making allusion to. A written legend near her remains in Vol'dun mention how she would kill even bystanders if she felt like doing so.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Edward Bosco (English), Mikhail Belyakovich (Russian)

* PhysicalGod: Whatever he is, he definitely has an important role in the cosmology of ''Warcraft''. He was described by Ion Hazzikostas to be a ''Titan++''.

* AdvertisedExtra: In the advertisement for Shadowlands he is set up as one of the major players. [[spoiler: He's killed off-screen thanks to the Betrayal of Vyraz near the end of the Maldraxxus leveling storyline.]]

* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:After the Jailer extracts her sigil after the events of the "Sanctum of Domination" raid, her body dissolves into nothingness.]]

* DarkseidDuplicate: Shares quite a few traits with Darkseid: ancient, widely feared, bald, towers over others, rules over a stygian wasteland, seeks out {{MacGuffin}}s to become more powerful, and has reality-conquering ambitions.

* FakingTheDead: [[spoiler: If you're at max reputation and have finished her quests and the Zereth Mortis campaign, you'll find Ve'nari missing with a hologram left in her place, saying she went to Zereth Mortis to put the Stygia she's been taking from you to use. If you go to the creation catalyst, you'll find Ve'nari's corpse, having seemingly died due to the backlash of whatever it is she was trying to do, with engineers noting however there's some odd discrepancies between the wounds and the damage it did to the rest of the area. About a week after doing this, you receive a letter in the mail from her apologizing for faking her death, stating that her experiment with the creation catalyst not only freed her from her self-sentence to the Maw, it gave her a method to travel the cosmos without restrictions that she can put to full use now that Cartel Ve believes her dead. She bids you farewell with a promise that if she ever needs a reliable partner, you're never too far from her reach now.]]

* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[AmbiguousSituation possibly]]. In 9.2.5, if you've done the entirety of Zereth Mortis quest chain, Ve'nari is replaced by a hologram in the Maw telling you she went to Zereth Mortis. [[spoiler: You find her corpse next to the creation catalyst, apparently having finally been hunted down and killed by Cartel Ve since she left her safe place... except if you're max reputation with her and your character is an engineer, you examine the body and notice enough inconsistencies in the wounds and Broker biology to question if the body you're looking at is hers. Remember Rule 1...]]

* VillainHasAPoint: [[spoiler: While her methods of trying to change it are indefensible, she's not exactly wrong about [[BlankSlate the]] [[LossOfIdentity flaws]] of the Kyrian Path.]]

* [[DeityOfHumanOrigin Deity of Troll Origin]]: In ''Shadowlands'' [[spoiler:it is revealed that Bwonsamdi was once a mortal Troll who was raised to Loa-status by Mueh'zala]].

* [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Hoist By Its Own Petard]]: The Jailer is trapped in The Maw and seeks to escape. His solution? Put the Arbiter out of commission and make Sire Denathrius cause a drought, thereby weakening the Heart of the Forest in Ardenweald which powers the enchantments that renders the maw inescapable. Great, now some of his forces can leave and enter at will -- but so can a greater and greater number of mortals.

Pelagos is one of the Kyrian aspirants and Kleia's soulbind. He and Kleia quickly become the Maw Walker's companions during the path towards ascension.

* VaguenessIsComing: [[spoiler:His final words as he dies are to insist that "A cosmos divided will not survive what is to come.]]

* AllOfTimeAtOnce: Of a sort -- There's no indication that time doesn't flow normally within the Maw, cause and effect are still, well, in [[{{pun}} effect]], but to anyone finding themselves in The Maw, one moment bleeds into the next; minutes bleed into hours, into days, into weeks, into months, into eternities, until you cannot differentiate between events which happened yesterday, or an eternity ago. It takes less than a week for this effect to set in, and only furthers the point that once you enter the maw, you're there ''forever''.

* Sizeshifter: [[spoiler: He's normally larger than the ''Jailer'', but he's more than capable of shrinking himself down to use Torghast's portals]].
* UltimateBlacksmith: The Primus was heralded as one of the greatest weaponsmiths in all of the Shadowlands. The tools he crafted for the Maldraxxi were the stuff of legend. [[spoiler: A clue that the Runecarver, who forges Legendary items, is him]].

* AnotherRealm: Thros the Blighted Lands, an intersection of the Emerald Nightmare and Ardenweald where death rules supreme.
