Best Warcraft universe character that was introduced after World of Warcraft launched?

I’m not sure, but here are some honorable mentions in no particular order:

  • Varian Wrynn (?)
  • Anduin Wrynn (?)
  • Garrosh Hellscream
  • Sire Denathrius (I seriously think Metzen has a plan for him still…)
  • Bwonsamdi (pre-Shadowlands)
  • Flynn Fairwind (in-game)
  • Iridikron (still being determined)
  • Xalatath (still being determined)
  • First Arcanist Thalyssra
  • Lorethemar (?)
  • The Jai- … (I’m kidding, I’M KIDDING)

*(?) = not sure if they existed in lore or not prior to WoW’s initial release though the Jailer was clearly there the whole time

Tough question, but honestly? Lilian Voss.

I do like Anduin and Wrathion though. It’s been fun seeing them grow. Anduin almost felt like he was growing up with me so I’ve got a liiiiiiiittle sentimentality to it.

Also, I really like Jaina and Lor’themar.

Auctioneer Thathung.

Went from an AH guy in Vanilla/BC/LK, to a grunt in Cata, to Overseer in some expansion where we killed him because Garrosh.

I’m serious, that was the NPC’s name.

From the wiki page:

Thathung was a grunt found patrolling around the auction house, where he once worked as an auctioneer, in the Valley of Strength of Orgrimmar.

After the betrayal of Varimathras and Putress, Sylvanas Windrunner and the Forsaken refugees had to escape to Orgrimmar. During that time, Orgrimmar was under martial law and the auctioneer was complaining about the situation along with other citizens.

Having been promoted to Overseer, he is found holding on to Theramore Citizens in chains during the Siege of Orgrimmar where he can be killed.

Varian was mentioned all the way back in WC2, but only in a single line in the manual.

Millhouse Manastorm, purely for the Arcatraz lines and how Blizzard made him make fun of mages. Gotta summon the waters first, etc. Good times!

Aaalllriiiight!! Who ordered up an extra large can of whoop-butt?

Sad, can’t use his own line from in the game on the official forums.

WoW needs to resurrect Professor Putricide. He was a great mad-scientist villain.

We’ll let Bwonsamdi and Denathrius arm wrestle for the title… but honorable nominee for Khadgar… we’re just trying to get him to stop rolling around in his wheelchair pantsless.
