* ChildhoodFriend: He grew up Llane Wrynn and Anduin Lothar at Stormwind court and the three were inseperable until Medivh's first coma due to Sargeras' possession.

Vowing revenge, Edwin gathered his fellow Stonemasons together and formed the Defias Brotherhood. The Brotherhood plagued the kingdom of Stormwind, forging alliances with gnolls and kobolds, hunting together resources and chasing people out of Westfall; all to build a weapon that would lay the Stormwind to waste: A massive [[CoolBoat juggernaught]], hidden within the Deadmines. Before it was completed, he was slain by adventurers sent by Gryan Stoutmantle. But though [=VanCleef=] is dead, the Brotherhood persists...

* CoolBoat: The juggernaught he builds is a huge ship packed with enormous amounts of firepower, but he is killed before it can set sail. His daughter Vanessa ends up rebuilding it, but once again it doesn't get to sail out of the Deadmines.

* RousingSpeech: Vanessa delivers one to the homeless Stormwind citizens that had taken shelter in Moonbrook, adressing their hardships in the wake of the war and the indifference they’re treated with by the king of Stormwind, thus turning them against the king, kingdom and the Alliance.

* RhymesOnADime: A biproduct of his madness, Sir Thomson started speaking entirely in rhyme, to the unease of his fellow Crusaders. The habit stayed with him as the Headless Horseman.

* TerroristsWithoutACause: Following an unknown point after the end of ''Legion'', King Anduin pardoned the Defias for their actions causing most of her idealogical followers to leave. Those that remained were the brigands and thugs that did not care for Vanessa's ideals, and turned on her when offered a good deal by Count Clessington.

->''"Fools! Our cause is righteous!"''\\

* StarterVillain: In classic, he is the first major villain Alliance player (especially humans) must deal with. Most of the early Alliance questing zone threats are connected to his organization in some way, most likely the first dungeon Alliance players will do, a much smaller scale threat than the dangers that would come later and foreshadows the much larger threat of Onyxia/Katrana Prestor looming in the distance.

!!Vanessa [=VanCleef=]

* AdaptationalModesty: During the Stormwind Heritage quest she's wearing pants that she didn't have before.

* AvengingTheVillain: Her goal is to avenge her father's death at the hands of the adventurers sent by Gryan Stoutmantle.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: In Heroic Deadmines, she takes her father's role as the final boss of the dungeon.

* BareYourMidriff: On the cover of Volume One of the Sunwell trilogy, an example of CoversAlwaysLie because she never appears that way in the story.

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, Tyrande, 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 until making a slight return in ''Legion''.

!!Anveena Teague
[[quoteright:268:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/anveena_teague_border_4150.png]]

Anveena is the [[MacGuffinTurnedHuman 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.

* BareYourMidriff: On the cover of Volume One of the Sunwell trilogy, an example of CoversAlwaysLie because she never appears that way in the story.
* BarrierMaiden: The Sunwell in human form and is thus highly desired by various villains who seek to use her.
%%* BeautyEqualsGoodness
* BreakTheCutie: Arguably when her parents are murdered by a number of Dar'khan's Scourge. Definitely when she learns her entire existence is a lie and that her memories were faked.
%%* TheCutie
* DamselInDistress: Her mere existence makes her a natural target for every villain out there.
* DesignatedVictim: Mordis, Dar'khan and Kael'thas have all kidnapped her at least once.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Is very blonde and is easily one of the sweetest characters in the entire setting.
* HeroicSacrifice: Sacrifices herself at the end of Sunwell Plateau to help the heroes defeat Kil'jaeden.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Oh so very much.
* KilledOffForReal: Dies at the end of Sunwell Plateau.
* MacGuffinTurnedHuman: Not actually human, but the Sunwell in human form.
* ThePollyanna: She manages to remain peppy and upbeat despite all the horrible things that happen to her.

[[folder:Budd Nedreck]]
!!Budd Nedreck
[[quoteright:268:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/budd_nedreck_border_9046.png]]

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.

* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: After what happened at Zul'Aman he proves to be quite easily distracted. At one point while aboard a ship above Vashj'ir, he jumps into the water because he spotted something shiny. Somehow he survived...
* BadBoss: 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.
* ButtMonkey: He suffers quite a lot of abuse on top of having been turned into a major cloudcukoolander by the troll spirits.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: His experience with the angry Troll spirits left him... different.
* CrazyEnoughToWork: He comes up with the plan to escape from Tol'vir City.
* FryingPanOfDoom: How he plays "Tag" with Trolls in Northrend.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: After the [[PlayerCharacter 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.
* MilesGloriosus: 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.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Prior to his run-in with the troll spirits.

->''"Fools! Our cause is righteous!"''

Founder and leader of the Defias Brotherhood. Once the master of the Stonemasons Guild, which rebuilt Stormwind after the Second War. Due to manipulations by Katrana Prestor, the guild was denied just payment by the House of Nobles. While King Varian tried to pay the guild out of his own coffers, the ensuing riot killed his wife Queen Tiffin, causing the guild to be branded as criminals and thrown out.

Vowing revenge, Edwin gathered his fellow Stonemasons together and formed the Defias Brotherhood. The Brotherhood plagued the kingdom of Stormwind, forging alliances with gnolls and kobolds, hunting together resources and chasing people out of Westfall; all to build a weapon that would lay the Stormwind to waste: A massive [[CoolBoat juggernaught]], hidden within the Deadmines. Before it was completed, he was slain by adventurers sent by Gryan Stoutmantle. But though [=VanCleef=] is dead, the Brotherhood persists…

* AntiVillain: He and the other Stonemasons were grievously wronged by the House of Nobles, and he genuinely believes he’s doing the right thing.
* CoolBoat: The juggernaught he builds is a huge ship packed with enormous amounts of firepower, but he is killed before it can set sail. His daughter Vanessa ends up rebuilding it, but once again it doesn't get to sail out of the Deadmines.
* DiabolicalMastermind: As leader of the Defias Brotherhood, he organized its many criminal members and activities.
* DualWielding: Wields a sword in each hand.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: As revealed in ''Cataclysm'', he had a daughter who ended up seeing her father die and subsequently, five years later, aims to take revenge for him.
* KilledOffForReal: He was slain back in Classic and has remained dead ever since.
* OffWithHisHead: The adventurers that killed him cut off his head and presented it to Gryan Stoutmantle.
* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: He was taught how to fight by his childhood friend Mathias Shaw in the hopes he too would chase a career within the SI:7, but he ended up on a self-destructive path for revenge.
* SinisterScimitar: His weapons of choice are a cutlass in one hand and a scimitar in the other.
* StarterVillain: In classic, he is the first major villain Alliance player (especially humans) must deal with. Most of the early Alliance questing zone threats are connected to his organization in some way, most likely the first dungeon Alliance players will do, a much smaller scale threat than the dangers that would come later and foreshadows the much larger threat of Onyxia/Katrana Prestor looming in the distance.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He believes himself and his cause to be just, and will do whatever he can to exact his revenge on the House of Nobles, no matter who else is hit.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: He and Mathias Shaw were once childhood friends, and Shaw even taught him how to fight, but ultimately they ended up on completely different paths: Shaw continued to work as part of the SI:7, while [=VanCleef=] went down on a path of simple-minded revenge towards the House of Nobles.

->''"Hope is a cruel joke, played upon us by a harsh and uncaring world. There is no Hope, there is only Vanessa."''

Edwin [=VanCleef=]'s orphaned daughter. Watching her father die at the hands of adventurers, she fled the Deadmines, eventually stumbling into the Saldean home. With seemingly no recollection of who she was, she was adopted by the Saldeans, who named her Hope. In truth, she knew well who she was and since the years since her father's death has been working towards avenging him.

* AlliterativeName: '''V'''anessa '''V'''[=anCleef=]
* AvengingTheVillain: Her goal is to avenge her father's death at the hands of the adventurers sent by Gryan Stoutmantle.
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: Refuses to be slain at the hands of the player characters and thus sets off the last set of explosives on the ship.
* DarkActionGirl: While, by her own admission, not as good a fighter as her father, she's still a quite capable fighter.
* TheChessmaster: Vanessa is no slouch in the planning department, manipulating gnolls and homeless alike for her own devices.
* CombatPragmatist: Knows she's not the fighter her father was and compensates by using poisons or explosives to rig battles in her favor.
* DefeatEqualsFriendship: In ''Legion'', after being defeated by the Rogue PC, Vanessa is forced into serving them by the rest of The Uncrowned, thus becoming a companion character.
* DualWielding: Wields two huge flaming daggers.
* FakingTheDead: She shows up alive in the Rogue order campaign in ''Legion'', explaining away her apparent death as the aftereffects of the mind-altering poison she used in her fight allowing her to cut and run when things looked grim.
* MasterPoisoner: She's extremely adept at brewing poisons, especially venom that affect the minds of her enemies.
* MsFanservice: Vanessa does not seem to know what pants are.
* PragmaticVillainy: She doesn’t let racism stop her from using whatever race or individual that inhabits Westfall to further her goals. Gnolls, Worgen, Goblins, or Ogres, no matter how stupid, murderous, or crazy, if they can fight, she’ll work with them.
* RousingSpeech: Vanessa delivers one to the homeless Stormwind citizens that had taken shelter in Moonbrook, adressing their hardships in the wake of the war and the indifference they’re treated with by the king of Stormwind, thus turning them against the king, kingdom and the Alliance.
* SoapOperaRapidAgingSyndrome: When her father died in Vanilla's events, she looked like a little girl, while in Cataclysm (which officially happens 3 or 4 years later), Vanessa is an adult. Given that the game only ''had'' the two options for human models, there wasn't really much they could have done otherwise.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: In Heroic Deadmines, she takes her father's role as the final boss of the dungeon.
* VagueAge: Due to the difference between her two models, which officially only have 3 or 4 years apart, it is difficult to determine how old she is.
* YourMindMakesItReal: Her venom is capable of affecting the minds of her enemies to such a degree that the visions they see might end up killing them.

First mentioned in a lore book in 5.0, The Council of the Black Harvest is a six-person group of Warlock power-seekers formed after Deathwing's defeat, who have each been touched in different ways by dark magic, not just the fel normal warlocks are used to using. The council travels in groups of two seeking out the power of what they believe to be the most superior; Human leader Kanrethad Ebonlocke and Undead Jubeka Shadowbreaker are the Demonologists, seeking perfection in demonic control and new and powerful minions to bind. Blood Elven Shinfel and the Gnome Zelfrax are the Affliction warlocks, who are hunting down the remnants of the twilight's hammer and learn their powerful, insanity inducing corruption. And Worgen Zinnen and Orc Ritssyn are the Destruction warlocks, searching for ways to obtain the power of Deathwing and Ragnaros respectively.

Kanrethad and Jubeka both play a major role in the warlock class quest introduced in 5.2, involving their journeys through Outland to perfect their demonology and culminating in Kanrethad's corruption induced insanity when he successfully becomes a full blooded demon.

%%* BrokenRecord: See LargeHam

* LargeHam: In addition to speaking almost entirely in rhyme and emphasizing the second half of each rhyme, his shade's voice lines can be heard well across a zone, even well beyond the radius of player yells, sometimes to the chagrin of players nowhere near it. This is not helped by the fact that it can sometimes respawn almost immediately.
** [[BrokenRecord He also has a bad habit of spamming the line]] "Harken, cur! Tis you I spurn! Now feel... ''the burn!''" when he spams the spell, Conflagration.

* StrangeSyntaxSpeaker: In addition to primarily speaking in rhyme, he often drops grammatically correct but somewhat unnecessary parts of sentences while rhyming to match the timing.

One of the leaders of the [[SnakePeople Sethrak race]] in Vol’dun. He and his followers, the Devoted, are trying to prevent the Faithless Sethrak from [[SealedEvilInACan unleashing a powerful servant]] of the Old Gods.
* TheLeader: Of the Devoted[[note]] the Sethrak who’re still following the Loa Sethraliss [[/note]] and, following the Vol’dun storyline, presumably of the entire Sethrak race.
* LeftForDead: After Vorrik was captured and beaten senseless by the Faithless, they had him poisoned and left for dead in the desert of Vol’dun. Thanks to the Adventurer, Vorrik survives.
* LongLived: Vorrik has been alive for a whopping 16.000 years, making him even older than the Night Elf empire.
* MrExposition: Vorrik uses time spent travelling with the alliance adventurer to explain what it is Korthek and his faithless wants in Vol’dun, as well as the history of Sethraliss and how Vol’dun turned into a desert wasteland.
* RealMenLoveJesus: First and foremost, Vorrik is a religious leader to his people, who mainly worships the snake Loa Sethraliss. The fact that his faction, The Devoted, maintains this tradition puts them at odds with Korthek’s faction the Faithless, who has abandoned their Loa[[note]] Sethraliss was a huge fan of peace and the Faithless wants to conquer Zuldazar [[/note]]. Vorriks’ badass credentials come from imprisoning a huge EldritchAbomination and fighting Korthek personally.

* WeUsedToBeFriends: Vorrik and Emperor Korthek were old friends, possibly from the time they banded together with another Sethrak to seal off the Old Gods’ servant. They both used to serve Sethraliss thousands of years ago, teaching other Sethrak about her, but ventually Korthek wanted to conquer Zandalar while Vorrik wanted to live in peace like their Loa wanted. [[spoiler: It ended with Vorrik killing Korthek]].
