History Characters / Warcraft2016

** [[spoiler: Taken UpToEleven after Gul'dan forcibly empowers him with the fel, which causes him to grow larger, and grow more teeth. Most notable is how his replacement claw-hand fuses with his arm, with green skin growing over the hand and turning it into a half-rotted appendage, and how his flesh fuses his skeletal pauldrons to his body.]]

* BaldOfAwesome: Antonidas has a bald head, and is both a powerful mage and a respected leader.

* BaldOfAwesome: Unlike his game counterpart who is depicted with braided hair, this version of Doomhammer has a shaven head. The prequel ''Durotan'' reveals this is an {{Invoked}} trope. Ogrim shaves his head to expose his birthmark, which his mother called a "bruise" given to him by the Spirits for his fighting spirit.

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Makes very good use of his shield together with his soldiers, forming a shieldwall to stop Blackhand's wolf dead in its tracks and stab it to death.

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Has a large golden shield featuring a lion's head, with the top of the shield decorated with wings. Sadly the shield is not used much in the movie, but it does appear [[spoiler:on his funeral pyre.]]
** Like Llane's sword, [[http://legion.wowhead.com/item=141000/replica-lions-heart the shield can also be obtained as a transmogrification object]] in VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft by Alliance players if they log in between May 25th and August 1st 2016.

* MaternalDeathBlameTheChild: [[spoiler:While grieving him Lothar confesses that he blamed his son for his mother's DeathInChildbirth and that he now regrets it.]]

* StuffedIntoTheFridge: [[spoiler:Killed right in front of Lothar to fuel the man's FreakOut.]]

* BadassBeard: Keeps a long unshaven beard, courtesy of Travis Fimmel.

* BadassBeard: He holds his own against the orcs very well and has a short-trimmed beard.

* NotSoDifferent: The Red Walker chieftain claims this about his clan and the Frostwolf clan. Both chose to refuse Gul'dan's invitation into the Horde, and would endure without him.

* FamousLastWords: [[spoiler:"[[SayMyName GUL'DAN!]] You have no honor!"]]

[[folder:[[AC:spoiler character]] ]]

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: His reputation is in tatters among the orcs at the end of the movie, because he cheated in his fight with Durotan and tried to have Lothar killed despite having won his Mak'gora and freedom. He only manages to keep them in line through fear of his magic and the power he promises.

* MythologyGag: [[spoiler: His demonic form is very similar to the demon that possessed him in the original games: the Avatar of [[BigBad Sargeras]]. Whether Sargeras controls Medivh in this universe is debatable.]]

* {{Adorkable}}: Young awkward Khadgar has a hard time fitting in with the hardened soldiers of Stormwind. Garona also teases him by insinuating he wants to sleep with her, getting him flustered.

* {{Expy}}: Of Samwell Tarly from ''Series/GameOfThrones''. Both are {{Badass Bookworm}}s in awe when walking in a library, both belong to a renowned order (the Night's Watch and the Kirin Tor), both are family rejects, they are seemingly destined to achieve the highest status in their field (Maester for Sam Tarly and Guardian for Khadgar) and they [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight they sometimes think breaking rules is necessary]]. They're both {{adorkable}}, their awkwardness is source of comic relief, and they share similar facial features (a small moustache most notably).

* AdaptationalBadass: Alodi in the source material was the first Guardian of Tirisfal. While powerful,he was stated as not as powerful as Aegwynn (who was hailed as the strongest Guardian ever) or Medivh (Aegwynn's DesignersBaby TykeBomb who was even more powerful than her). Here, she's an ancient being that served as a protector of Azeroth before the formal position of Guardian was established, thus putting her on par with the Dragonflights and other demigod protector of Azeroth.

* MinorMajorCharacter: The Draenei are very much important in the ''[=WarCraft=]'' lore, it's their presence that attracted [[spoiler:the Burning Legion]], which corrupted Gul'dan and his followers with the Fel then had the whole Horde genoce them. In the film, the only ones that are seen are simply hapless prisoners who are sacrificed to open the Dark Portal. Although, it should be noted that the race was not featured in the 1994 video game the film's story is based on, they were [[invoked]][[GodCreatedCanonForeigner introduced much later]], as were the masterminds behind the Orcs' invasion of Azeroth.

The hapless caged humanoids from the Orcs' dying world who end up being sacrificed by Gul'dan for the Dark Portal's first opening.

* HumanSacrifice: Human''oid'' sacrifice, that is. Gul'dan drains their life essence to open the Dark Portal and send the first wave of Orcs through it.

* NoNameGiven: Their species is never addressed in the film, but anyone familiar with the ''[=WarCraft=]'' lore can easily identify them as Draenei. There's also a [[https://www.kinogallery.com/images/warcraft/kinogallery.com-warcraft-0731355001463477644.jpg motion capture production still]] where the species is named.
* TakeCareOfTheKids: As Garona walks past a cage, a female Draenei reaches out and grabs the half-Orc's arm, pleading with her and Gul'dan to spare her child's life. Although Garona translates her request, [[KickTheDog Gul'dan refuses]], stating that he needs them all.
