A wandering warrior of faith, Maraad is a pillar of draenei society and one of their most notable [[ThePaladin Vindicators]]. His sister was captured and raped by orcs as part of Gul'dan's experiments, giving birth to his niece [[ChildByRape Garona]] before dying. Maraad was also present at the destruction of Shattrath City, where he was ordered to escort a party of refugees to safety. Partway through he fought an orc and told the refugees to keep going, that they'd be safe--only to find them all killed when he returned from battle. Prior to ''Wrath of the Lich King'' he helped out his niece and her son Med'an against Cho'gall and the Twilight's hammer. He subsequently served in the war in Northrend and returned to instruct others in the ways of the Light. He plays a major role in ''Warlords of Draenor'' as he travels back in time to the alternate universe Draenor.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: The draenei as they were introduced in ''Frozen Throne'' were completely different from the current incarnation, being portrayed as far less humanoid, not necessarily blue-skinned and with a shaman tribe-based culture. Even gameplay-wise, they were stealthy rogue-like units rather than light-wielding paladins. When ''Burning Crusade'' came out, Blizzard retconned the original draenei as being former eredar and the draenei seen in ''Frozen Throne'' as being "Broken", a corrupt variant of the species.

* HolierThanThou: Some draenei fall into this but it's been proven not to be true. In ''Cataclysm'', there are draenei in the Cult of the Damned studying the techniques of a torture expert calld "the Butcher" and draenei in the Twilight's Hammer trying to bring about the apocalypse. There are even a few draenei in the Shadow Council, which serves the Burning Legion, the draenei's ArchEnemy faction.

* ImmortalProcreationClause: Since draenei can live for eons, they have a very low birth rate. In ''Rise of the Horde'', Durotan notes in a draenei village there is only one child, a girl. Years later when he's an adult, there is still only the one child.

** After their arrival on Draenor the draenei were attacked by the ogres, who upon seeing the draenei raise so magnificent cities came to believe that it was because the draenei had found and stolen magic secrets from the defunct Gorian Empire as Shattrath was built on the place where Goria once stood. With their superior magic and technology the draenei quickly defeated the ogres by easely killing their leader and using magic far superior to the ogres' one while inflicting minimal losses to the Ogres, though instead of continuing the battle the draenei offered the ogres to leave in peace which they did. This act of mercy however left many of the orcs completely dumbfounded, which combined to the formidable display of arcane and holy magics unknown to the orcs, caused the orcs to become suspicious toward the draenei which would later help Kil'jaeden and Gul'dan manipulate the orcs into attacking the draenei.

During Legion the Draenei were able to return to Argus eventually, but upon seeing the terrible devastation, sorrow and fel energies infestation that the Burning Legion have inflicted upon their beloved homeworld, Velen and the rest of the Draenei were forced to admit that they could never ressetle on it again and left it behind at the end of the expansion.

During the Pandaria campaign, Velen is called upon to tend to Anduin when the latter is critically wounded by Garrosh. Later, during Garrosh's trial, Tyrande, the prosecutor, calls upon Velen in an attempt to discredit the Horde by having him tell the court of his people's near genocide at the Orcs' hands. While Velen does not deny that his people suffered terribly at the Orcs hands, he reaffirmed that he does not believe the entirety of the Horde nor the Orcs should bear the full blame of the massacre. During the Legion's devastating Third Invasion, he became one of the main leaders alongside Khadgar, Maiev and Illidan of the united Horde and Alliance forces arrayed against the Legion, spearheading the Argus Campaign that sought to end the Burning Crusade once and for all.

* AllLovingHero: Velen is one of the kindest and most compassionate characters in Warcraft universe, showing concern and care for all life and lamenting the destruction of life by the Burning Legion, even in worlds where he has never actually been. He also welcomed Nobundo and the rest of the Broken inside Draenei society despite them having been disformed by demonic energies and lost the ability to feel the Light. He was willing to forgive the members of the Horde despite everything they did to his people, even Kil'jaeden despite his countless horrific crimes and all the suffering he inflicted on the Draenei on Draenor and Azeroth.

* FantasticRacism: Many of them tend to look down on Shamans, seeing their worship and bonds with the Elemental Spirits as anathema to the Light. The Broken were also not well-received at first due to their difformities, of them having lost their connection with the Light and the fact that it was a red mist of demonic origin that caused them to become Broken though Velen still welcomed them back and worked so they would have a better treatment. Some Draenei also, understandably, still have a grudge towards the Orcs and the Blood Elves for the atrocities they have inflicted on them despite having never provoked them.

Years after both orcs would participate in the Draenei genocide (though both were manipulated just like the other orcs), and Durotan who had memorized the draenei's magic words to reveal Telmor's location would begrudgingly open the way for the Horde to sack the city and massacre the draenei here.
